  "Trusting twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty" is one of those magical sentences that says so much with so little. Thank you sir.

  To put into perspective how popular the "OJ in the bronco" coverage was, it occured during the NBA Finals and news stations were covering the chase over the game.

  It was painful for my dad watching the trial back when it was happening, the shit with the glove. My dad works with leather so much he's basically an expert in it, and he was practically screaming at the TV "BLOOD SHRINKS LEATHER!!"

  About forgetting Ron Goldman: current forensics believe that OJ had already started attacking Nicole when Ron came upon them. Trained in karate, he didn’t run, BUT CHOSE TO STAY TO TRY TO PROTECT NICOLE. And he lost his life for it.<br><br><br>Please do not forget this man, he had a good heart.

  It’s not “beyond all doubt” it’s “beyond all <b>reasonable</b> doubt.” That’s an important distinction that I think a lot of jurors miss. There is almost always room for some doubt in any case. That’s where applying reason is crucial.

  The police dropped the ball and he had that good lawyer money. We studied all the mistakes in my college forensics class it was a full class of &quot;don&apos;t do this&quot;

  It&apos;s also worth mentioning, for those unfamiliar with american football, running backs are basically on a spectrum from little speedsters like Barry Sanders who rely on avoiding defenders, to big bruisers who could just run over would-be tacklers. Oj was the latter, he made some of the biggest and hardest hitting athletes on the planet fold up like a lawn chair. <b>And he still had world-class speed.</b><br><br>I&apos;m just saying he&apos;d be one of the scariest people I could imagine being attacked by.

  Fun fact: OJ almost played The Terminator, but didn’t get the role because they didn’t think people would believe he was a heartless killer.

  That poor girl was betrayed by everyone who should have protected her. Her &quot;loving&quot; husband was abusing her, the police didn&apos;t do anything, her parents sold her trust and safety time and time again, her friend slandered her for money and publicity, &nbsp;and even after her death, together with probably the only friend who stood by her, they destroyed her reputation, the prosecutors dropped the ball, chose the wrong experts and the jury refused to give her justice.

  The thing about the book OJ wrote, IF I DID IT the parents of Ron &amp; Nicole got his release of book blocked but once they got a copy of it they realized he basically admitted to the murders, it had something to do with them having rights to the property because of the civil lawsuit, they allowed it to be published and the reason the “IF” is so small is because they directed it to be that way.
