Are you serious? You really need to have your head examined if you think he isn't a murderer.
Prove it, hotshot.

the evidence speaks for itself
So basically what you're saying is that you don't know.

His blood, their blood, DNA.

Or do you think that DNA testing is techno-magic and should not be believed? Or do you think the LAPD just set the whole thing up to frame him>?

I know nothing about the case besides OJ was found innocent and most people thought he was guilty. Why are people so sure that he killed his wife?

Just as a curiousity, I put up a poll so we can see were ATOT stands.

Evidence. He had a slick lawyer who he paid lots of money to in order to get him off and it worked.

Guilty!!!

OJ was an inspiration. His case gave hope to every young kid in America that someday, if you get rich enough and famous enough, anyone can get away with double murder.

You know...it's funny. I remember watching that trial a lot (especially during the summer when school was out) when I was about 14 or 15. Back then, I thought he was guilty as hell...and i still do now....but after I read that webpage, and look back at the trial, I can't for the life of me imagine how a jury cannot convict someone given that evidence. It was a truly sad day for the legal system.

Now that both the criminal and civil cases are over he should write a book:

I did it, I liked it and I'd do it again
By OJ Simpson.

LMAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:laugh:
 
big time guilty....he got away because he's got $$$....if it were you and I we would be locked up for life
 
To paraphrase Chris Rock, his wife was banging his friend. Not that I'm condoning it, but I understand.
 
In other news.

Simpson was considered for the lead role in The Terminator, before it was decided audiences might not accept him as a villain. Claims were, that O.J. was too "nice" for the role of the cold endoskeleton cyborg known as the Terminator.

As if there aren't enough politicians on both sides to provide this "inspiration".

 
Guilty as originally charged. IIRC, the jury ws terrified of a race riot if he was found guilty, so a couple of those who wereleaning towards guilty voted NG to avoid what could have been a MAJOR firestorm. If only the LAPD would have done with the white bronco, what they would have with any other murder suspect in it...

I think he did it.

But for the life of me I don't know how he could stab one person....and STILL get to the other one (while they were watching) so fast and knife them down too!! That must have been one hell of a killing!


He moved so fast you'd think he was an athlete or something!

I bet with his skill he could have been a professional football player.
 
The cops were guilty of trying to frame him. Guilty or not, we can't have that and he should have gone free. Any doubt whatsoever should lead to a not-guilty verdict and the cops made sure there was a lot of doubt.

I totally agree. We have to keep the courts safe for all citizens. Unfortunately, when public servants botch a case that means that we have to let guilty people go free. In the long run it is not too much to pay to protect everyone's rights.
 
I remember seeing on Oprah that the polls if OJ did it were very different on Race. IIRC, of all the whites polled, 90 percent said he did it. Of the african americans polled, only 20 percent thought he did it. Pretty interesting stuff.
 
I once asked a very bright black attorney what he thought of the OJ case.
He said "They tried to frame a guilty man".
That is the best explanation I have ever heard.
Come on, Mark Fuhrman is your lead investigator? The two dumbest prosecutors on the face of the earth?

Even if you put on another pair of gloves in the first place, and the ones you are putting on used to be skin tight and sat out a while in the moist air causing them to shrink a tad also??? 😕

That and the fact that they were drenched in blood. That'll probably shrink them slightly...

So, he ran from the cops for who knows why. They haven't found any other trace of a suspect(at least I don't think).

Who else could it have been?
 
it's so weird... the OJ trial happened at a time when many of us were in elementary/Junior high, so at that time, many of us were more sympathetic and rooting for OJ to be innocent. In reptrospect, he was obviously guilty, and I was such a stupid kid back then.

It became a racial case in some sorts. I cant remember the guys name but he was asked if he had ever said the word "******", to which he replied no. Then they played a tape, and sure enough he said it.

Detective Mark Furman

They played the race card extensively in this case
