money = power.
money & the power = the right to do wrong and have a good chance in getting away with it.
So. This is how our society is setup. Sometimes the money trick works, sometimes it doesn't.
Gotta love the rich Murderers who live among us and will never spend a day in prison...

Not only did the defense not make this arguement, but Ron G. was not a killer, and had no reason to do so.
Kato however was an out of work actor with beedy eyes a shady disposition. :Q This however also proves nothing.

Kato hadn't the intellect to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich mustless murder
I remember stopping biology class and watching the last part of the trial on our supposedly-closed-circuit TV in the classroom.
I was young too -- before the age when I realized that heroes are fallible.
That's the reason most young people think he's innocent.

I wonder if he would gotten convicted if that racist cop hadn't been caught lying about being a racist.
I was in 7-8th grade at the time
a lot of people don't remember the details. He is guilty, there's no doubt about that.

I'm 19 now, so I was quite young when the trial was going on but I DO recall watching some of the trial coverage and as such I have very little doubt that he is, in fact, guilty.

I was like 17 or so, senior in high school. In fact I remember when the verdict was going to be read, our English teacher wheeled in a TV and we watched it. We all thought he was guilty as sin, but guess we were suprised. Something I noticed, and not sure how to say this nicely; anyhow, I noticed that the more 'intelligent' people thought he was guilty as hell. I was in the honor tract thingy-ma-bob so therefore hung out with mostly the same people and nearly (if not all) of us thought he was guilty. However talking to some people at the time who were umm, . . . let's say not as smart. . . thought he was innocent.
Then I remember a couple of years later when I was in college and my genetics prof said something like the DNA evidence of the trial had a 1 in 6 billion chance of it NOT being him; and at the time there was 5 billion or so people in the world. I thought that was rather amusing.

It's possible he's not a double murderer I guess...if there are more victims I haven't learned of.
Guilty as hell.
That trial was a complete travesty, proof that enough money will buy freedom. Hell, he should have gone to prison on the DNA evidence alone! I haven't seen such a mockery of science made anywhere else besides the Inquisition!
Frankly, I don't think it should even have made trial. They should have used force to end that dumb Bronco chase, like they would have with any other suspected criminal. (BTW, why was he never charged for any of that crap? Last I looked, trying to evade the cops [even with a slow @ss method like that] is a felony.)

You are analyzing that information wrong.
there is a 1 in 6,000,000,000 chance of it not being him
p(being OJ) = 1/6,000,000,000
p(not being OJ) = 5,999,999,999
There were 5,000,000,000 people in the world at the time.
The probability that there were exactly X people in the world with that DNA match is determined by this math formula.
f(X) = combin(5000000000, X) * (1/6000000000)^(X) * (5999999999/6000000000)^(5000000000-X)
To determine the probability that 2 or more people in the world existed that would mathch that DNA is determined by this
p(>=2) = 1 - f(0) - f(1)
f(0) = 0.434598178511218
f(1) = 0.362165148819709
so p(>=2) = 0.203236672669073
there was a 20.32% chance that someone else in the wold existed that would match that DNA test.
I vote that he's guilty, but at least understand the math.
