- More than 20 years after the controversial acquittal of O.J. Simpson, the so-called “trial of the century” is back in the spotlight thanks to the TV dramatization “The People v. O.J. Simpson,” reports NBC’s Joe Fryer. The lead prosecutor in the case, Marcia Clark, tells TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie that Judge Lance Ito “treated me like a second-class citizen.” She says the upcoming documentary series “O.J. Is Innocent” is “nonsense” and admits she is not at peace with Simpson’s acquittal.

Marcia Clark On Sexism, Chris Darden, ‘O.J. Is Innocent’ ‘Nonsense’ | TODAY
"It was SO sexist, the way you were treated during the trial. But let's talk about your hair styles. Also, tell us, were you and Christopher Darden lovers?? Are your kids watching the TV series now??" LOL
+bookguitarguy you took the thoughts out of my head! hahahaah they were being soooo hypocritical without even knowing about it.
+bookguitarguy I just thought the same time...
oh god u lot r so easily triggered
What was sexist was her not being treated with respect or taken seriously because of her gender. She was bullied in court and criticized for not appearing "feminine" enough. They told her to change her hair, to wear skirts and the worst most condescending thing you can say to a women; "smile". Its insulting and perverted. As another female the interviewer can have girl talk with her and address her "controversial" hair in a jokey manner. Her last two questions were legitimate. She and her partner had an intriguing, loving and supportive dynamic for two associates. The last question is valid and not sexist in the slightest. She was simply asked if her kids are interested in viewing a show that depicts a very difficult time in their mother's life. I don't know if I could.
In fairness though.. I'm sure Savannah can relate. She's in media, she gets superficially criticized, and I'm sure she hears a lot of BS about how she looks on any given day.
I dont understand why she was so criticized. I think she was a very beautiful woman before the media trashed her for not being "feminine enough". Hypocrites.
Estela Zalazar There was the Rodney king case around the same time. It got the entire L.A black community mad. Lucky there wasn't a global riot then. So that played out in the public opinion and I think jurors' decision on that case. There was other stuffs going on in the background. There were people rooting for Simpson but less of those who opposed. So racism played out big time in that case. And Clark coming off on the national icon like Simpson was a huge deal. Literally everyone were rooting for the guy and dissed the "white" chick. So there was the public pressure also... until the evidences were starting to unfold...
+einc70 I love Marcia. She's beautiful, real, lively, sweet, and without an ounce of bitterness. Race had nothing to do with her being aesthetically vilified, and treated with less respect inside and outside of the courtroom. She simply was an easy target being a woman, and to an extent vulnerable. I agree with Estela.
Giselle Raphael if you watched the series it starts off with the Rodney King incident. It wasn't edited that way by accident. I'm not from the U.S. But the racial tension that ensued from the incident took a toll there in a very bad way, just like those black kids getting shot dead by white cops back East for no reason. I've lived 2 years in L.A, 1998-2000, in my mid-twenties. The racial tension related to the Rodney King case was still very vivid there, that's the feel I was getting from the locals. So I believe it played out in that case. But I also understand how being a woman could be an argument against it. So sexism as both you mentioned.
Which shows how STUPID it was to try the case there, rather than in Santa Monica where the killings OCCURRED; but Gil Garcetti wanted to get the black vote for himself, not justice for the victims Ron and Nicole.
Maybe this should have been better handed to feds. The racial divide is so great there.
Judge Ito doesn't get nearly enough blame for how awful of a job he did. You could argue he is more to blame than the jurors.
I agree. He lost total control of that courtroom.
Sarah was fantastic playing Marsha. She deserves to win a Emmy. Looks like Marsha had some dental work done, looks good.
She is a total fraud, and she is right about Jason! not OJ!
Tony u mentioned all these crimes and phone records but you won't say what that's all about, instead u make up some excuse to not tell us.
Please give us details and convince us all right now, the court is yours. :)
Gonk "but you won't say what that's all about, instead u make up some excuse to not tell us."
Tell you what!?
What do you want to know!?
I don't see anything on this thread that mentions crimes in detail! So me what I stated!?
Gonk your crazy. Oj is guilty. She was just doing her job you hack
lol Ashby I was quoting something "Tony Starks" said, I didn't say that lol. I know Oj is guilty :)
I wanna give her a hug.
m2
"Lets hug it out bitch" Ari Gold
I wanna give her an indictment! for her role in the fraud of the century like a Jewish war crimes criminal.
I wish Ytub would block idiot people like you
If you really believe that she is responsible for OJ being acquitted, you didn't pay enough attention.
I’m so glad people are recognizing her strength throughout that time & that she gets to gain a little bit of her dignity back. She deserved every ounce of this respect back then, but better late than never.
You never put a woman in a high stakes, high pressure situation, she will just mess it up big time and then blame it on sexism. So typical.
Marcia was so incompetent and terrible in this case, idk why people are coming around to think she was a good woman, she let a double murderer go free.
She’s a loser. She lost and she can’t take a loss so now she’s blaming the jury for how TERRIBLE she is at her job. 2 people lied on stand, one of them was convicted of perjury, the other tainted tons of evidence in blood and lost the case. She sucks.
@@theeagle7054 she was outclassed, but there were tons of sexism then.
Sarah Paulson is an absolutely brilliant actress
What's all the fuss about?
Very talented too
I love Marcia Clark's honesty and toughness. The fact that she was able to keep calm during the whole case while she felt frustrated in her head is something not a lot of people can do and that inspires me as a person. This is a woman that should be highly respected.
I think she did have some breakdowns in between, but who can blame her?

Very well said, Jonah. On top of the incompetent, misogynistic judge, the sexist media, the large defense team who were incredibly skilled... espec at playing dirty, Simpson’s celebrity status, and millions of ppl scrutinizing her every move, Marcia was also dealing with a nasty custody battle. I‘m glad to see that she’s as confident now as she was back then, and seems content.
Yanno that’s what lawyers do day in day out right?
She looks good!!!
You can really see what stress can do to a person when you compare her with the way she looked during the trial..
I'm happy for her, she seems like a genuine and honest person..
I agree
I agree as well
blueagle1100 Ooooohhh!!! You are ruthless LOL
d
Tony Starks What the hell are you talking about? You lost me..
I am watching this in New Zealand. That judge was appalling to you. The defence was unbelievable. How they were allowed to redecorate OJ's house, just incredible. You are wonderful. You did you job honorably.
"We were certainly very close but we were partners" Danced around that Chris Darden romance question as only a lawyer could. Sounds like an answer but completely evaded the question.
I doubt people like you would even believe her if she plainly said no
@@mra6308 And people like you wouldn't believe anything you'd wish not to regardless of what Darden himself had publicly stated in the past
@@mra6308 Also...use your brains! Why do you think a seasoned prosecution attorney like her wouldn't be suing any of of the movies, Tv shows or docudramas for defamation over that allegation except for their defense of truth? It would be a pot of gold for her. I'm sure you'll think she's just above all that. Really?
He buried the bone, no doubt
& who cares if they did ?
as a law student and as a woman I have nothing but respect for this women...!! such an inspiration..god bless her..
You never put a woman in a high stakes, high pressure situation, she will just mess it up big time and then blame it on sexism. So typical.
@@theeagle7054 To claim that Marcia wasn't heavily and unfairly scrutinized during this trial is such a gross understatement and shows that you have no sense of what sexism and misogyny actually is. Marcia didn't blame anything on sexism, she was victim to it. She was surrounded by sexist men and a jury that was no doubt biased against her during the trial.
"Typical" would be you and, no doubt, many other men having blatant misogynistic views when it comes to accomplished, capable and well - spoken Women.
@@salmamohmed222 then tell me why she let 9 black jurors who hated her sit on the case??? That too against the recommendation of consultants and against basic common sense, even a 10 year old would have known that this Jury is no good. And then she made millions of Dollars parading around, how shameless is she????
@@theeagle7054 this is so stupid and sexist, because you’ve seen one woman do something you think that’s how everyone is, she was under so much pressure and scrutiny for things that didn’t ducking matter like her kids, her hair and all that, she wasn’t the one on trial OJ was and he was guilty everyone ignored the evidence because of the political climate, OJ was lucky. It was a matter of circumstance. And any reasonable person would know he was faking and those gloves could fit, I don’t know why no one had the sense to put it on fit him, it could also be that the glove shrunk because it was washed.
@@salmamohmed222 but it was her fault that she didn't change the jury? Wasn't she??? She removed her panties and took a huge dump on the case before it even began, then she has the balls to blame it on sexism, what a nasty woman
why does she look better 20 years later wtf
She does look better
Because that's what happens when you invest money and time into yourself
Why? It’s called having $$$$$$$
Gregory Wells it’s called plastic surgery
Two people lost their lives. There is no show business in that. Not once did any of them commented on the sadness that this tragedy was and still is. NS, RG rip.
she was too busy cashing out
A drug dealer and a drug addict.
@@carolinagonzalezs. Proof? Oh thats right, you dont have any. But even if they WERE, they didnt deserve to get knived to death.
@Carolina González Sepulveda Too much evidence to try and pin it on someone else and no one has even tried.
exactly.
She doesn't even look like the same person.
+88Crager It called 20 years - age baby age.
+Martin Collmer
it's called plastic surgery
It's called money
jxsilicon9 She’s never had plastic surgery. Tf. She just looks aged, not plastic.
Neither will you in twenty to twenty-five years.
i'm glad she's standing her ground and not letting OJ off of the hook. Also, she totally had a thing with Chris...idk why she denies it
+TheMicIsMyLover She never denied it. Not once.. she's just not openly admitting it lol
+Alreem Kamal guilt by omission ...that's pretty obvious here
because it’s her own personal buisness
@@melaniegonzalez3664 Trust me, they were swinging from the shandler's! If they didn't "dilly dally" she would've said NO
It's her own business! Why does everyone want to know everything about people's love life. She has every right to keep it to herself. Good for her for respecting her own privacy, and not giving in to everyone who wants to know her own personal business.
P.T. Barnum said it best."nobody ever went broke underestimating the gullibility of the paying public".
Look at how they elected an orange freak president for further proof
The ones I feel sorry for are the children, not only have they lost their mother, he wS stupid enough to get into more trouble later on after being aquitted. No thought for his children there. So if it's hard for the prosecutors to see the show imagine what it's like for Sidney and Justin
I've never understood why people think it's such a tragedy for the children to lose the parent that was the murderer.
Yes the fact the kids who were 8 and 5 years old could have stumbled on that awful crime scene.... 😢 nicoles dog Kato got out and brought neighbors to the crime scene before the kids could see it. Bad enough losing a parent like that but imagine if they were the ones who found them...
she's my new inspiration !
redwhitentrue damn how'd you know?
Marcia left a blown up picture of Nicole's slashed throat on her wall when Denise Brown visited her. Denise broke into tears and all Marcia said was "I forgot that was up. It's become like furniture to me."
If you want to root for a cold, heartless bitch Hillary is about to be POTUS.
+Mike Ansley Huh? :S
+1Moltooo like you I'm not sure what Hillary has to do with OJ Simpson
+Jonathan Jackson I shed a single tear for your reading comprehension. You're welcome.
i really like her...she's so articulate and seems very sweet...
Yes! She is a hero! Because she LOST an utterly winnable case?
No way to win. They wanted the verdict. She did the best besides that.
Marcia Clark still has trouble swallowing the fact that she and Chris Darden did a HORRIBLE job of prosecuting the case. Period.
what a brave woman, love her curly hair,
yeah you have to be a hero to defend a racist cop like Mark Fuhrman. I can't believe she will put somebody with that type of character on the witness stand
Mark Fuhrman is a pig, I agree, she did make a mistake putting him on the stand regarding that Christopher Darden was against her decision.
maria velazquez smart decision
+Malcolmx2Pac She's never defended Fuhrman. She's always admitted he was a racist. She's only defended the evidence. Unfortunately, she chose the wrong cop to present it.
lollipoplullabies exactly. By hearing somebody so racist find the evidence that made the jury disregard anything Marcia had 2 say
WOW. She is a trooper. I love her so much. She is so genuine.
Marcia Clark is AMAZING!
Not AMAZING enough to get a conviction though, was she.
nobody would with that jury @@yankee2666
So great. I love the way she said that although justice was not served, she gave it her all. I think Nicole would be grateful. We are too! To a brighter, honest future.
Agree! I'll be 41 in November and I watched this case when it happened. Amazes me how Nicole and Ron never got justice
OJ did it. He'll get whats coming to him when he meets GOD at the gate. RIP Nicole and Ron
@@terrysgamingzone1390 In a way they did get justice, because the Goldmans' civil suit indirectly led to the robbery in Vegas. OJ wanted to steal back his sports memorabilia that the law had forced him to give up because of the civil trial. Nicole and Ron got some degree of justice.
I love how humble her children are, her youngest son wasn't even phased, he was just worried that people thought he was just that dumb. Lol.
She looks great.
I don't care what she looked like.
She lost, because her side was wrong.
@@liecrusher3506 1D107
she's amazing. Sarah Paulson conveyed her in an incredible way.
I finish watching it on Netflix and oh man I was so into it I finish watching in 3 days but it was a good gooooood. I still wonder if Marsha dated Chris lol and yes I had always believe it was oj and still think he did it. Sarah Paulson play her right on point
They did have a fling.
i have never heard anyone say that leather shrinks when it gets wet. wet with blood, yes i think so. also trying to pull a glove over a latex glove could prove difficult.
Judge Ito got into trouble for referring to her as Marcia, which he did do if you watch the trial, but always referred to the men as “Mr” and it was not good.
Maybe, because he knew her, on a more personal level.
liecrusher it’s not very professional though. And, it gives the wrong impression to the jury.
@@pommiebears How so?
Perhaps, if I'm correct, too much of a sense of familiarity or compromise, between the two?
She is so strong6 so inspiring, showed me that you can get through anything
Why is she being heralded as a hero? She was completely inept.
I didn’t see the show until about three years after it came out. I have to say hands-down it was really good. I was 15/16 years old when everything happened so I didn’t grow up knowing too much about OJ Simpson. I didn’t watch the naked gun films and I wasn’t a football fan. But watching it now I can appreciate what happened a lot more and oh my god so riveting so powerful so dramatic. But with all the conversation about the case I just have to say one thing. The only two people I really care about and I think often get overlooked is Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. May they both Rest In Peace
R U kidding about incompetence? The prosecution had all the evidence it neededto convict except for a video of OJ doing it. But with that jury, even a video wouldnt have been enough. The cops & Rodney King, the riots beforehand, the racecard,the sexism, the media all blew it for Marcia.
+midget jerus I think it was just the LAPD. With a decent police force the other stuff would have not mattered in the long run.
The bag....where's the bag?
Don’t forget the LAPD was known for being racist towards African Americans. Smh. That made the case that much more difficult, especially because Mark Fuhrman were involved, a known racist. However I do believe in the evidence, and the DNA. OJ definitely did it!
Yeah jury members even whispered it was a race thing. So sad. No way to win. At least she gave it her all though!
Prosecution could of still done a better job
We all know most people think OJ did it. But someone has to ask about Furhman admitting on tape to setting up black men with white women (just like OJ and Nicole). That is real hate. People keep saying that is dealing on race, but I don't see it. Your star witness admitted to that, that has to be relevant.
I think he did it, but then again, I thought MJ was a pedophile and he was not!
***** EVIDENCE WAS PLANTED, period point blank. I am not saying that OJ is not a murderer. I am not saying OJ is innocent. I am not saying OJ did not do it. I am saying that cops planting evidence then pled the fifth to planting evidence. By the standard of the law, that is reasonable doubt.
***** And there lies the problem. First of all, You could call it incompetence if you what. I call it planting evidence, evil, wickedness and incompetence. But the standard IS NOT GUILTY. It is GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. Do not change the standard.
Second, I understand you want racism to be over with, I don't agree with you but I get it. But I am 39 and grew up in Southern California during Rodney King, OJ, Crack, etc. I ask that you try to understand and not disregard black people, who for some crazy reason, believe OJ is innocent. Those people aren't stupid, but their experience guides how they think. Please watch a documentary on the Grim Sleeper or The Seven Five. Your world and their world may be very different.
***** Ah, you are a racist jackass. I know your life sucks. Try to be happier. Peace out.
Yeah man, I am black, offend me any way you can.Yes, have at it. Give it to me. This is what makes you happy because you are a miserable person. Your good life doesn't exist without comparing it to the have-nots. And the true colors come out. Racist, bigoted, etc. Yeah, that is who you are. Light over dark has always been the way of the world. I shouldn't know you have 800k in your account and your house is huge, but I do because that defines you. But that means relatively little without the have- nots to compare it to.
Would like to hear from some of the jurors in the case if they are allowed to talk about it
I'm glad that the series is about Marcia Clark and Darden. They went thru a lot
I've watched a lot of her recent interviews on UA-cam. She's a charming, intelligent, and articulate woman. She moved through all of this with grace. I think she's great.
i have to say at first without the facts i thought the prosecution choked and lost an unlossable trial but after i watched the show and did a boatload of research i see now that marcia clark was a very smart and brave woman that took on the world and did a lot more than any regular lawyer could ever do. to work on a case of this caliber so well and at the same time deal with all the sexist and personal attacks is just amazing.
you can clearly see even today from marcia and chris's interviews of how deeply and emotionally involved they were.
Marcia, how many other cases of murder did you prosecute when a glove was left at a crime scene and the other one at the suspect house? thank you
Ask Furman
Judge Ito was an arrogant SOB and showed far too much favoritism towards the defendant. Marcia Clark did the best job she could possibly do under the very difficult circumstances.
she is amazing, and I love the actress in the series, too.
it was so good, i felt so much emotion from sarah paulson - i feel bad for marsha there are lawyers their whole life that would never have a case like that she did her best with almost an all black jury. DNA was still confusing and even though it was everywhere police contaminated the scene, fuhrman came off like the furor didn't help.
Marcia
The dream team ran circles around that office. R.I.P to the two who was killed.
***** Look man the L.A. DA office was beat badly bottom line.
***** Well I was commenting on the trial..I thought you was being sarcastic, my bad if I was wrong.
So much respect for this attorney.
She was given a job to try to O.J. Simpson in prison. She tried her best, but the jury found him not guilty. She seems to have moved on with her life and leave the trial in the past. Same, for me,I let God judge O.J. Simpson . I do not look back on the trial and I do not watch the new show. I have also moved on with my life.
Amazing how much Sarah Polson resembles Marcia Clark.
Yeah the whole show honestly did an incredible job of casting. Not only were they incredible actors, but most of them looked exactly like the real people (Judge Ito, Marcia, Darden, Johnny Cochran, and even Robert Kardashian kind of)
Reading Marcia Clark’s book Without a Doubt. Excellent book! Does everyone know that she has written 14 best selling crime fiction books?
She's a sweet lady, but when, at the end, she said "I left nothing on the table" I thought,
yes, you did leave something on the table. You didn't bring the stupid Bronco chase, on the freeway,
into the prosecution's presentation. Dear Marcia, why didn't you?
I always wondering why they never brought in the bloody shoe prints during the criminal trial. Those shoe prints were made by some custom shoe he owned - less than 300 were ever made. I forget the name.
+Ward413 they couldn't find witnesses to come forward with pictures of him in the Bruno Magli shoes until the civil trial came around.
Latisha Croissant Ah I see. Nice. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
in his conference in may 1997 she explains why she didnt bring the chase, look it up its here in ytub
She didn't bring in the eye witness that identified OJ driving his bronco and almost losing control in the intersection and yelling at her for it. Also, that witness sold her story to a tabloid show but it didn't mean it didn't happen. The jurors were sequestered by that time and it didn't matter.
this is a fantastic interview! so many of these morning shows have cringe-worthy interviews full of nothing. This held my interest, love savannah's questions, marcia's eloquent responses. I liked this tv series as well!
COURTNEY KILLED KURT !!
Yeah, she and Darden "knocked boots."
she's aged well
I thought she was a strong woman who gave it her all. She made women and girls feel like we could do anything against a powerful team of men. I think they should do some sort of double jeapordy though where you can retry the guy for homicide hands down. That goes for other cases such as Casey Anthony and so many others.
She didn’t give it all because she just blatantly lied about most things!
LOL they messed up the case really bad
OJ's defense team was much better.
he hit that
I wouldn't dismiss the Jason Simpson theory so quickly. There is actually plenty of evidence pointing to him.
I watched the OJ case from the white Bronco real time to the end. Marcia Clark is a role model and American hero. I adore her to this day.
A murderer got away with it. Nothing funny about that!
Her hair had NOTHING to do with losing the case.
Makes me sick Clark and Darden making a quick buck from releasing books based on their incompetence following on from what should have been an open and closed case for the prosecution. Sexism is a red herring the bottom line was Darden and Clark did a poor job because O.J was obviously guilty, all the evidence pointed to that fact and there was and subsequently never been any other credible suspect. Why do you think the LAPD closed the case after the trial.
She had a serious glow up. She looks better now than she did all those years ago
Always thought Marcia was hot.....she is aging VERY well. Hotter today than she was back in mid 90's
It's kind of funny how she looks younger now than she did 21 years ago.
Judge treated her horribly. He should have been removed from the bench.
I'm glad that Marcia is calling out William Dear's 'Jason-Did-It' theory. I read his book and watched the BBC documentary on it and she's right: there is no evidence at all supporting it. Pure speculation and vague insinuations. It's not fair to Jason at all.
And who murdered Nicole and Ron?. I think it was a person who has long experience and ability with knives like chefs, soldiers, doctors, butchers and serial killers. Jason Simpson fits with the profile: he is a chef, he has rage issues and he had love/hate relationship with his stepmother Nicole. That's why I think Jason is a suspect of this double murder.
If it’s not fair to Jason, then he needs to speak out because the more Dear’s theory comes out to the spotlight, the more Jason is going to speak out.
@@carolinagonzalezs. None of Jason's dna, blood, or anything pointing to Jason has been found at the crime scene. It's a ridiculous theory. OJ loved himself too much to take the rap for his son, if that had been the case. He might have hired a Dream Team for Jason, but he absolutely wouldn't have taken the blame for him.
@@roxannemoser If Jason didn't do it, why Jason didn't sue William Dear for defamation.
Silence is consent.
cn people stop asking her about the Chris thing..geeees
I was hoping for some questions about Cochran and Lance Ito; how and what was their malfunction?
Their "malfunction" was an expertise in maintaining the highest standards of jurisprudence.
The fact is that most whites hated it, and worse, that a black man won.
She looks better than everyone years later... loved her work she put her all in it
WHO TOLD YOU TO PUT THE BALM ON?
LOL! Thanks for that Seinfeld reference, I needed a good laugh today.
Everyone in the world knows the butcher got free because of a joke of a justice system and stupid jurors who did not understand DNA or forensic evidence! How the lawyers who defended him sleep at night ,still escapes me. In every normal country with all that INSANELY overwhelming forensic evidence,the slaughterer would have been sentenced to life prison. But in America, the racial circus and everything that had nothing to do with the two innocents murdered, came to play. We in other countries watched lauging via tears ,disgusted and dismayed . This case was a sham of US justice.
the trial went the way it went because of the judge, it was all the judge not the jury not the racism. The judge allowed the defense favouritism and present material that would not be allowed or considered in normal court because the defense just presented irrelevant material or unsunstainable
When a woman enters what's long been considered a man's professional arena, she needs to not have the encumberences of child care. I think that was the hardest thing that distracted and worked against Marcia in the OJ trial.
What a lady!
They still treat woman so superficially, especially from other woman we have come far but we are still treated like inferiors
The Defense team was Varsity, the Prosecution team was JV.
She didn’t have a chance with the jury they hand picked.
I think Marcia Clark and Chris Darden were terrible prosecutors.
She was a brutal pick for the prosecutor in this case. Anyone going through a nasty divorce/custody battle should not have been in a high profile case like this one.
I have nothing but respect for Marcia Clark. Looking back, it was definitely not easy to be a woman in that room battling against the so called The Dream Team. She was treated poorly but she still did her best. Too bad the jury purposefully made it a political vote.
Watching the trial, I always noticed how tired she looked! It was a long trial and she had two young children and she probably wasn't getting enough sleep, plus the stress of the trial. She looks so good now, better than she did twenty-five years ago!
This is powerful.
Mad respect for you!
This interview is aweful
Marcia is so smart, strong and nice !!
She is unrecognizable.
Class
The jury suffered a great deal by being sequestered the whole time and sitting through hours upon hours of boring testimony and court procedures. I'm certain they were mentally quite broken down and just wanted it all to be over.
American culture and justice system makes me cringe.
What an incredible lawyer and person
She was clearly out of her league during the trial of the century. But she gave it her best shot.
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! She aged like fine wine though even though during the trial came off as extremely over confident and had her own agenda.
She looks good
She looks better
She should’ve introduced Jill Shively and the items recovered from AC’s Bronco
I think from hearing Nicole's family & all the cops Marcia was extremely overwhelmed. I also think Darden as well was put in an impossible spot as people actually felt he was a " traitor " was even booed in his church at the time. Obviously & sadly race was constantly a factor & the victims were just foot noted for the whole spectacle. In the end oj getting off made all his old Brentwood upscale white golfing friends shun him. In a way he did get hatred to the point that I believe like most in Vegas he was given a huge sentence when everyone else who flipped on him got nothing. As much as the judge in Vegas claimed it wasn't payback it was. He got 33 years for it. He got put after 9 on parole. So at least he did wind up getting time. Carl Douglas said it was so sad that oj was the luckiest man ever to get off & he wound up blowing it by committing a crime & I don't blame all the guys that flipped. Stand by oj & get years or zero time? The whole thing is just sad esp given the whole case should have been tried in Santa Monica where it happened. The d.a. obviously wanted a l.a jury so if they convicted no riots. It's sad race was brought in from the start actually by Robert Shapiro who later seemed to blame it on Cochrane & Bailey only as Shapiro always had a great relationship ship w/ the cops & the d.a. etc. He was hated as the case sadly wasn't about just a man killing his wife & friend but a black man vs the lapd or even more bizarre a separate satellite trial of the defense vs mark furhman.
The only person charged & lost his job & convicted was mark furhman for perjury. So it really became during the trial saying terrible racist things on tape 9 years b4 wad worse than a double murder.
Ito I blame the most b/c a murder trial w/ a non celebrity goes 3 weeks tops. This went 11 months! The jury only deliberated over a few hrs cause they wanted to go home. Also ito should not have let a lot of stuff in or testimony to go so long. One witness the medical examiner was on the stand for 11 days! Also ito allowed during closing the defense to object like 70 times. Ur not supposed to object during closing which he said every time unless something crazy is said. It was obvious the defense kept objecting to stop the momentum the prosecution had during closing.
Wow did she have work done.
Worst Prosecution Effort in Trial History -
With racial issue. I don't think so.
No, that’s The George Zimmerman case!
I’m sure the O.J. case will haunt her for life.
The 90's were wild man...
