if you combine an incompetent prosecution team & judge with a dumb set of jurors and a high-priced defense, then you won't get a guilty verdict followed by a riot causing a billion dollars worth of damage. i'm sure that the aftermath of the rodney king verdict was on the minds of the powers-that-be in LA.
 

Nope, and it was proven in a court of law.
Mabey if the law did not try and setup the black man so hard, mabey they would have had a case.

Well there was no riot after the civil case, which by the way you only need to have 51% probability and not prove the person did it. Maybe the truth is he didn't do it. Its funny how people jump on OJ a black man, but very little is said about Jon Benoit's parents. A minority is guilty till proven innocent and a white person is innocent till proven guilty.

Well, most people do think one of her parents did it, probably with the other being in on it either before or afterwards. The other theory is the brother or step-brother or whatever he is (was) was the one. There are entire web sites devoted to the case, actually. You probably hear less about it because the parents haven't gone through a trial like OJ did (though we can always hope, I guess). I do think there are cases where &quot;black&quot; crime/criminals are handled differently in the media thean &quot;white&quot; crime/criminals, but this isn't the strongest example.

people were sick of it &amp; didn't pay much attention after the criminal case. besides, you don't go to jail or death row after a civil case. based on the evidence, most people think he's guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, including me. i don't think his race has much to do with it. do you think a caucasian with the same evidence against him/her would be treated with any less scorn?

Finally, somebody with the ballz to stand up and backup an unpopular opinion. You made some very good points unlike the sarcasm other have been throwing around.

As was stated before the difference between OJ and the Ramseys is that they didn't have a year long nationally televised trial.

Um OJ had done everything to seperate himself from the black community and had lived a WHITE lifestyle. Only when it helped his cause did he again ally himself with the black community.

The defence did a decent job and the prosicution was down right horrid. If you look at the evidence there is no doubt he did it.

The cops did not set up OJ, There was not a frame job. Sorry you are wrong. Furman is not a racist and ITO was an idiot.

OMFG talk about comparing apples and oranges. overwhelming evidence vs little or none



A minority is guilty till proven innocent and a white person is innocent till proven guilty

and what foundation is this statement founded on?? complete ignorance. just another example of more excuses from the librals.

MY best friends read a short book about the the OJ/Nicole Brown case...apparently the author didn't think OJ did it, based upon evidence in the case and additional evidence acquired from other sources.

The author though Jason Simpson, OJ's and Nicole's son, did it. Jason had a history of sociopathic behavior and was extremely pissed at Nicole. He worked as a cook at a diner...people who worked with him said he left the diner in a particularly irritable mood with some large cooking knifes the night of the murders.

The author said OJ did come to the scene of the crime, at some point during the night, to help to his son out.

Can't remember much else...I didn't read the book.
