Marcia Clark completely blew it by treating kato as a hostile witness. She already had what she needed from him as a witness! All she had to do was reiterate that OJ wanted to talk at length about Nicole's dress. That he went on and on about it. She didn't have to have him categorize OJ's demeanor or mood during that for people to understand why OJ would obsess over that. That's only one way she blew it. She also refused to let a bunch of evidence come in through the cops because she knew the jury would be hostile towards cops. It's always way better to let all evidence in.
I agree. I do afford her grace being in the position she was going from the court room to home as a single mother, on the phone with Garcetti the next morning, just all the minutiae of stress that I think made her often blind to the forest from all the trees. But when justice is on the line? These mistakes have consequences and I think she made plenty just like this very one you mentioned. She should have just simply said "I have no more questions" and not impugned her own witness. All over a mood and demeanor no less...
Unfortunately I don’t think any of it would matter even if changed. The whole case and jury decision was based on race. Didn’t matter even if they had video evidence back at that time, they would argue it was doctored. It was made a black vs white thing and the jury was mostly black.
@@Justicia007the jury is not ashamed of themselves. They relish in it to this day. They’ve been repeatedly polled, given new evidence, only one ever said they’d change verdict. A woman even came out and said 90% of the acquittal vote was racially based. And if a prominent black man were to be accused of the same crimes today, I’d expect the same results.
@@danielmccoy-md3zd So tedious to oversimply and pull the race card. As if that overrides the inept prosecution, crooked cop who bragged about planting evidence on Black men, contaminated DNA evidence. Is it only about race when Black people are involved?
It wasn't just three loud bumps kato heard, The walls of his guest house moved and his painting was knocked sideways. It's pretty disgusting how everybody's trying to smear this guy when he was just living his life. He didn't murder these two people. You have no information that he was a drug dealer or anything else. He was a witness caught up in this.
Bro, the thumps he heard was OJ knocking to get his attention so he could go distract the limo driver, which he did. Kato isn’t as innocent as you think. He may not have known that OJ just murdered two people, but he saw OJ trying to get into the house and did him a favor
@@bscott3223the knocks was oj sneaking back in to avoid limo driver who had arrived so he was climbing over the fence and hitting the wall, a/c, then landing on the ground. The limo driver seen him, he just didn’t realize it was him at the time.
@@bscott3223 You made that up with absolutely no evidence to back it. OJ was not about to let kato in on a crime, when kato was Nicole's friend first. You're suggesting that kato knew The murder happened and was trying to help OJ cover it up? Bullsh*t
I take it a step further and believe Kato saw OJ when he went back there. How could he not?? OJ was in shock and desperate and had Kato cover for him…and that’s why Kato buzzed Park in eventually. Kato needed a story as to why he was already out there, so he came up with this “earthquake” stuff which is comically bad. He clearly knew it wasn’t an earthquake if he went out back to investigate a singular area that rattled. Kato lies in that he only took a step or two and got scared. Also strange, why go that far to investigate then suddenly “get scared” at the point he would have seen OJ. OJ was also seen by Park coming through the front where Kato would have been. Kato also switched his story and became a hostile witness. How is this not obvious to everyone?
Kato should've just told the whole truth about OJ from the beginning, instead of dancing around the subject matter and giving shady answers. He claimed he loved Nicole like a sister and wanted justice for her and Ron, but his testimony at the trial didn't help anybody except OJ. Now, nobody believes him. Still. And they never will.
You don't understand that OJ was kato's best friend, & I believe that Kato wanted to " have the Juice's back"....Kato didn't wanna ruin his once in a life time " rent free" home ...+ Kato was no doubt frightened by OJ...OJ was a huge size dude & night have caught to Later avenge himself should Kato turned on him! I personally liked OJ and knew Juice would not retaliate against juice. .I do not believe that OJ killed her or the other white guy.
Seriously!! OJ mite have gone to Jail, & could have gotten life....Kato probably was friends with OJ ...Why would he want OJ to do a life sentence? 16:07
In the large picture of the trial he didn’t help or hurt anything..Marcia was trying desperately to make much more out of his interactions that evening than was ever there..That’s why she struggled with him on the stand..Marcia would have been ok in Kato lied on the stand if she got what she needed out of him…Marcia Clark lost this case and she had plenty of help from Chris Darden bad policing and the way the crime scene was handled…
@@user-sx3cl8se9j The truth….that OJ knocked on his wall to get him to come out and stall the limo driver while he went in and got ready. Kato knew OJ was not inside “oversleeping”, and lied on the stand to protect the alibi. If you go back and listen to Alan Park’s testimony, he actually said that he saw “a 6ft tall black man” walking through the yard towards the house, AND he saw Kato outside at the same time. It’s kinda like, don’t ask, don’t tell, and we’re good.
Million dollars just for telling the truth they they didn’t go to McDonald’s dons , if they went to McDonald’s e dee’s Kato would have had the garbage 🗑 and the drink cup and where’s OJs wrappers ?? Hmmm
If OJ wanted drugs he didn't need someone living in his compound. He could've had any number of assistants bring him whatever he needed. Kalin never used drugs. He was a strange free spirit, Hollywood hanger on, that floated around looking for places to live while auditioning for roles. He was a health-nut and still looks good today at 65. I don't think he was anything more less than he appeared to be at the trial. Holding on and spreading lies and rumors about someone 30 years later isn't good for the soul.
@@greneellen8 hey I just know that I read that in Rolling Stone magazine. Take it up with them! Who would you trust; a worldwide publication that's 60 years old or some dude in the RUclips comment section?
Such a nice guy put in a terrible situation.
True! Isnt Kato the Guy that lived with OJ ( rent Free?) and was a witness in the OJ trial....Kato also lived with Nicole Brown Simpson ( rent Free)
Yes but he lived Rent Free .

He also ran 10 miles a day or 15, and didn't eat meat. He was kind of a health nut so I doubt very much that he was into drugs
bulloney look how he was jawboning so bad that even baba wawa said he looked like a tweaker bub
