I am African American, and grew up in South Central LA and was living there when the trial started, and I thought he was guilty from day one. Innocent people don't run, guilty ones do, and OJ was set to try and disappear. Secondly, he had a fresh cut that he explained different was to different people, it was never the same reason twice. His blood was at the scene, and before the "he was set up" group arrives, no one knew OJ was even connected to this case until much later. So they would have had to know where he would be, have his blood ready to go, and know a double homicide would take place. As far as anyone knew, OJ could have at some ones house with plenty of witnesses or halfway around the world. You can't set someone up with that amount of unknowns. Was there a racist cop involved, YES, and I have ZERO love for the PD, but for this to be a set up, many would have to be involved and why would anyone risk their jobs for OJ? He wasn't a champion for the black community or doing good things for young black people. He moved as far away as possible and dated whites exclusively at this point, and I wouldn't even consider him "Black" if not for the color of his skin. I've know white folks who are blacker than OJ has ever been, or ever will be. Lastly, the crime scene shoe prints had been from rare and expensive Italian made shoes, that OJ denied ever having or owning(why lie about that?). Well guess what, he owned them and there's documented proof of him wearing them. This crime scene was also horrific, and not a typical quick kill situation. It reads like a crime of passion, as the anger shown was off the charts, and guess who had a documented history of abuse? You guessed it, OJ! So for anyone thinking his son did it, or some drug dealers, or whatever else conspiracy your believing, STOP! OJ did it, if there was a 3rd of this much evidence towards anyone else, they would be locked up for life, but OJ just like most rich people get a different system in their favors.
Innocent people do run, but not rich ones. I agree with you on all this however. I just graduated highschool when this went down and my mom especially was all over this case watching it unfold daily. Cops are especially racists without doubt, and when your job is to deal with crime on the day to day, everyone is a criminal in your head. This is still an open case, and I think he had help committing the crime.
I am African-American is well and I also believe that OJ Simpson was guilty. But innocent people do run especially if you are black and innocent. I remember this case very well as we watch the trial every day at work. Well I do believe he was 100% guilty I am not totally upset that he got acquitted simply because of the history of race and the American criminal justice system. Too many times African Americans are falsely accused or over prosecuted and overly sentenced compared to our white counterparts. Too many times white people have gotten away with murdering innocent blacks and have never been brought to Justice. So you have to keep all of that in mind with this particular case. Again there is much historical context in play.
@IannaLovely2022 I don’t think photo editing software was super comment back then, and if it was edited, his response would have been “this image has been altered, I have never worn those shoes in my life” it would not be shock and immediate acceptance.
After the verdict of "Not Guilty" was read, in October 1995, prosecution lawyer Christopher Darden said: "Some day Simpson will face a different judge. And Nicole and Ron will be there. And there won't be a "dream team" there to defend him". Well, that day has come and I think the verdict was far different.
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu that’s what I always say all the time, OJ was so lucky that all the planets 🪐 aligned for his verdict to be on his favor. Rodney kings was to fresh out of the oven for Americans specially black America, that 92 riot was to much for California to handle another riot if OJ got a guilty verdict, can you imagine the chaos that guilty would it have started.
@@erickfuentes7276 If one takes the view that the OP has taken, I think one can argue that it was the female Korean shopkeeper in LA who shot dead the 15-year-old black girl that she (Korean woman) thought was shoplifting from her store in 1991, who _also_ saved O J. This is because the 1992 LA riots were actually triggered by _two_ events, the Rodney King verdict AND the Korean woman getting only a suspended sentence for killing the black girl.
Somebody did: a TV series, anyway. American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson. Really well done. Even better is the documentary series OJ: Made in America, which outlines in great detail the racial climate that formed these jurors, as well as the life of O.J. Simpson. who once said "I'm not black, I'm O.J." He lived and thrived in the white community, never gave back to the black community, to which he had no attachment, to the point that when the just was taken to his house the defence team had to remove all the photos of him with white friends and put in some of black people, as well as some African art including a painting from Johnny Cochran's personal collection.
I actually disagree. The mishandling of the evidence alone would cast reasonable doubt in any case. It was lost during the investigation. Such is the justice system.
@@sebastianbelcher5354 you know damn well race clouded most judgment, of all the black jurors who were asked about the verdict 90% said they would aquitee OJ due to his skin colour
Wtf not cute or funny. This was a violent murder. Apparently you was dropped on you head and lost respect morals and good morals not to be funny about a aggravated murder.
He shouldn't have been. The people guarding him told him to pack up his stuff. See the Court TV OJ at 25 episode 25. The cops like Fuhrman planted evidence.
Ive gone over this case so many times over the years and to this day, I still am so fascinated at all the characters that played a role. Its such an unbelievable story. It really could only have happened in America. From South Africa
In South Africa,& in Africa as a whole,police brutality would have extracted the truth from O.J.in Africa suspected murderers are treated as Al Qaeda terrorists, guilty until proven innocent.
"If it doesn't fit, you must aquit." ANY person who has soaked leather gloves by clearing snow, has experienced wet leather gloves shrinking as they dry.
This man clearly got away with so many crimes, it's absolutely incredible. And he's out again as a completely free man, having served only 9 years of a 33 year sentence! He's enjoying his wealth while avoiding to pay the millions for the Goldman family. Mind boggling 🤯
Ron Goldman Held A Black Belt In Karate, And Nicole Was No Small, Dainty Woman. Together They Would Have Beat The Hell Outta Old, Arthritic OJ.😃 Nicole Was Murdered Because Of A Very Large, Outstanding Cocaine Debt Which She And Faye Resnick Had Accumulated. And Poor Ron Just Happened To Be In The Wrong Place At The Worst Time. OJ Spoke Of This Shortly After The Trial, But He Stated He Hadn't Wanted That Info Used In His Defense Because Of The Negative Light It Would Have Shone On The Deceased Mother Of His Children.
I remember our Geometry teacher turning the TV on in class to watch the verdict come in. I’ll never forget hearing the sounds of both dissatisfaction and some happiness with the verdict being shouted out from each classroom all down the hall.
The sad part is the support was racially divided, and O.J.--with very few exceptions--turned away from blacks and ran with as many white people as he could find. Certainly Simpson could be a pretty cool and amazing guy who came from a true rags-to-riches background. However, the black community set LAPA discrimination-awareness back at least 20 years holding up Simpson as an example since anyone with even the slightest clue understood O.J. was unquestionably guilty. @@robertcallahansr.1382
@@robertcallahansr.1382 But y'all claim that "race" had nothing to do with it. If it didn't, then why did that case grip America as it did and why were y'all "responses" so angry and bitter !!!!???
Same thing happened to me... I was in 7th grade Science class and my teacher turned it on in the middle of class. Half of our class (the white kids) were disgusted and in disbelief. The other half (the black kids) were in jubilation. It was the first time I truly felt the racial divide in our country. Something I'll never forget.
@@andyman2583 This should truly tell you something. This was the "first time" YOU "felt the racial divide in our country." We have always felt and seen that "racial divide" even when we were kids in the 7th grade. In the past, the KKK has lynched black people with no accountability, and white cops have murdered unarmed black folks with accountability. This is in addition to the number of young black people who have been murdered by other nationalities without accountability. For instance, Latasha Harlins was killed in Los Angeles by a Korean store owner who accused her of stealing and saw Rodney King get the beatdown in L.A with no accountability. Emmett Till was murdered at the age of 14 by two racist white men after they accused him of whistling at a white woman and were not held accountable for the killing. During playtime in a park, a racist white cop shot Tamir Rice without accountability, Trayvon Martin was murdered by another racist with accountability, and Breonna Taylor was murdered by racist white cops who kicked her door while she lay in bed. It's unbelievable how often we as black people have been "disgusted and in disbelief" because partial all-white juries repeatedly refuse to prosecute these criminals. The O.J. Simpson situation was just a drop in the bucket for you all when in fact it has been many full buckets for us over many decades. Obviously, you all "were in jubilation" bcoz no one from the radical right, who criticized the decision in Mr. Simposon's case spoke out about any of these cases. But aside from all of this, we also saw " jubilation" from you all when Kyle Ritterhouse who murdered two human beings walked as a hero. Some Republican politicians even had the audacity to raise money for his legal defense fund. You didn't call out that did you !!!??? It's always a one-sided affair on y'all part when you call out what you perceive to be an injustice even though the two victims Ritterhouse murdered were white. But they were associated with a black cause is why they were treated with such disgust..
I’m strangely appreciative of this recap now that I’m an adult. I wasn’t even 10 years old when this was all going on so my memory of it isn’t at the comprehension level that it can be now.
Read Jeffrey Toobin's book on the trial - even all these years later, it's a page-turner. After reading it, you will be in *no doubt* about O.J.'s guilt.
This circus of a trial was the ultimate injustice for Nicole after having endured abuse from Simpson for so long, and Ron Goldman who was collateral damage, and both of their families will grieve forever. I really feel for them.
No when pass over then you shall know. Sooner with knowledge of the higher knowledge. You can know now. But you would have to read, learn & study. SRF-Self Realization Fellowship. Peace & goodness for all. Hope. 0
No this wasn't, but,because the media and pro domestic violence advocates made interracial marriages a race issue not that it was the crime of the century. How could that be when you had, "The Green River Serial killer Ted Bundy John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, BTK Serial killer, but it was OJ Simpsons named trial of the century? Unbelievable how the media continues to create a narrative that divided people along the lines of race. In that entire trial there was only one racist and he pleaded the fifth amendment......... OJ, Nicole nor Ronald Goldman were racist they were victims of Racism in society that always has been and always will be..........racist, it is taught in the homes and institutionalized in the Constitution of an American Democracy........Something's will never change in this hypocrisy that they call (make america great again).........this case will never be closed!

That’s exactly why this case was so absurd and popular, it’s because it became a race war somehow but at the end of the day, stopping corrupt police work is more important than putting OJ in prison
OJ’s blood was on the glove alongside the two victims that were slain. What other evidence do you need? The bloody fingerprint is the holy grail of evidence in any murder, and the prosecution had that.
This case essentially began my fascination with True Crime. I'm still not over how the jury got it wrong... it's sick that he's out free living his best life.
He is not living his best life. If he went to prison, all of his needs will be taken care of and he will live like a real celebrity. But on the outside, he will forever live in shame and disgust with no money and no adoring fans. I am surprised he has not taken his life as yet because his only reason for being alive is to be adored.
@@magikindian he's still a millionaire and he obviously doesn't care about public opinion... he wrote a book called If I Did It : Confessions Of A Killer
My opinion is he did it & the jury still got it right. The prosecution was incompetent, the police made too many stupid mistakes & the defense capitalized on all of it.
@@shawnna6225 unfortunately true. And it's also why Casey Anthony is free. The prosecution needed to be clear that cause of death wasn't necessary for a conviction - the jury polls showed that they didn't get proper instruction. The Judge said the same thing... he read the verdict twice in shock. It's unfortunate. The same could happen in the Delphi case because of how they've been treating Richard Allen. He could end up out because they're violating his Rights right now holding him in a prison prior to a conviction. It's bizarre. They have jails. It's a mess. A total mess that could land a killer free. Again.
So Denise Brown saw OJ beat her sister before and yet on the last day of Nicole's life, the video shows her parents and Denise hugging him hello. What a crock.
Was shocked by the jury verdict at the time. Since then I learned more about the LAPD. Don't think they framed OJ, but they were corrupt as hell, and I understand better how a local jury could distrust that police force.
I remember while visiting a patient in the hospital the TV was covering the trial. i asked a older nurse who happened to be black what she thought. Her response without hesitation was,"he is guilty as the day is long". I have never forgotten that.
What is "shocking"? Justice was served in his criminal trial: zero evidence zero scientific proof OJ Simpson "killed" Nicole Brown Simpson or Ron Goldman. The only ones who killed them were their breeders (parents). That is an Antinatalist fact. Look how ANGRY and AGGRESSIVE and VIOLENT the anti-OJ Simpson fanatics get when you disagree with them about their story about O J Simpson. Bullshit about "innocent people don't run". BULLSHIT. So then you are saying all people who fled the Viet Cong are guilty. All people who fled the Nazis are guilty. What a STUPID IDIOTIC generalization. Why should an innocent person like OJ Simpson subject themselves to an evil unjust government that denies reality?
They were all perfect for the defense. Made no sense for the prosecution to allow that pool of jurors. The defense won the case when they saw who was on the jury.
@@suzanensosie3673No you can't appeal actually. If the state loses they cannot appeal. Because of the 6th Amendment, e.g. "double jeopardy." If someone is acquitted that is game over: they cannot be tried again and the state cannot appeal. If _he_ , the defendant, was convicted, _he_ can appeal. But if the state loses they cannot appeal.
Mark Fuhrman really messed it up for the prosecution! Johnnie Cochran did a masterful job of lawyering, timing is everything! Prayers and condolences 💐 to Nicole and Ron! Hard to believe how OJ did not do this! Only in America 🇺🇸
A lot of black people killed by that PD no one says jack only when a black man is accused of killing a white person then amerikkka loses there danm mind

That glove thing was the most ridiculous thing I ever seen there’s no way that leather gloves are gonna slide on over top of the rubber gloves. I don’t believe that the jury could’ve fell for that one.
Even the juror said it wasn’t a make or break deal given leather gloves shrink if they get wet. I mean everyone should know that. ESPN 30 for 30 said OJ stopped taking his arthritis meds a few days before so his hands would swell even more. He was clearly acting. 100% guilty but the defense played the race card and the jury ate it up.
as a kid during this time I hated the trial for the mere fact it took over my weekday afternoon tv shows 😂...my Fox affiliate would postpone Power Rangers just to show their coverage of the trial.

Im 46 years old and I remember watching the verdict in high school. I remember the sad and angry look on the white teacher faces and the black students were celebrating. That was the first time in my era seeing a division in America.
The fact that OJ literally did nothing to cover his tracks, wore his regular shoes, gloves, blood in his car and on his socks and he still got away with it is so crazy. His eyes when he sees the photo of him wearing the shoes he said he would never wear because they are so ugly at 40:05 says eveything.
This was right after the L.A. riots & I wasn’t surprised Judge Ito allowed the jury to be replaced to make a majority of black jurors. I knew if they said he was guilty there would be fear of another riot. This was made to be about race & no matter if they explained DNA, the jurors wouldn’t listen. Also having him put on gloves over latex gloves, of course would make it more difficult. Also the defense saying the blood was contaminated, rather than the blood was planted there proves the blood was O. J.’s. If you contaminate blood, then it would show it could be another person, but the odds of contaminated blood to somehow be O.J. Is a billion to one .the media also pushed this white vs black divide. If a white person felt he was guilty, it meant he was a racist. Now 28 yrs. Later most now believe he’s guilty, but not back then.
I was a kid during this moment and I remember thinking that OJ was obviously guilty. When an adult explained to me that this was a racially charged trial and also I saw how Black and White people were choosing the verdict based on the perpetrator and victims’ skin color, I started to side with OJ because as a kid and of course now, I disliked witnessing how some White people and White cops would talk to and treat so called Black people and so called immigrants. While I still know OJ to be guilty and needing to serve life in jail, I also think of Emmitt Till and the thousands of Black people among others who were brutally murdered simply because of the shade of their skin and their killers getting away with it… The American judicial system is truly broken.
but you dont have a problem with how people like oj treat other races? tell that to all the kids getting beat up at school every day and receiving death threats. look at what howard stern went through at school growing up and that still goes on but you dont care about that as long as the perpetrators look like oj or george lopez.
I remember my English professor taking a vote at the end of class, then heading to the dorm. Everyone was glued to the televisions. Everyone was in shock. I just knew it was going to be a guilty verdict.
@@qtpiballereveryone expected the verdict to be guilty not because they were convinced he committed the crime but because they knew that for a black celebrity accused of such crime to a caucasian there was no way out. Until they realize the world changed under their feet. Too bad it was only for 13 years and the cops were setting him up in every corner after miserably failing to take him out for murder.
Ojay did it. The prosecution blew the case.All that evidence was planted against Ojay? The civil trial was won by Nicole family proving there was enough evidence to convict Ojay. The Prosecution didn’t do their job. Ojay paid for a dream team which got him off. Blame the system that the white’s created. Many blacks was guilty of crime they didn’t commit but had no money to afford a quality lawyer. Racism is hell.The dream team used it and won. Again the prosecution loss the case. All that evidence they had. The murders showed the racism is still in America. The rest is history, ojay got away with murder, my opinion.
Winning a civil trial does not "prove there is enough evidence to convict." Not at all, actually. It's a different burden of proof, and winning a civil trial is way easier. In a civil trial, you win if you show that there is a "preponderance of the evidence" supporting your case. That means a 51% chance you are right is enough to win a civil trial. A criminal trial is a much higher burden of proof -- it is the highest burden of proof in all of American law -- "beyond reasonable doubt." Hard to put an exact number on it, but if I had to it would be certainly above 90%. Even if the evidence is strong in a criminal case, they have to acquit if there is even any lingering reasonable possibility he didn't do it. Not true in a civil case at all. They are completely different systems with completely different rules and burdens, civil vs. criminal. It is not true that winning a civil case means you have enough to convict. You could very clearly not have enough evidence to convict and still win a civil case.
I think that had OJ done the killing in that court room during the trial, in full view of everyone there and recorded on television, that jury still would have found him innocent.
"The glove does not fit" was a winning strategy. Even a newest glove with exact same brand and same size that O.J. used to wear (leather, not rubber) (and fit perfectly) will never fit when "extra" glove was worn inside. Smartest feign move that fooled millions.
I was watching the trial on and off for its duration - from Denmark 🇩🇰 I could not believe that it turned into a trial against the detectives and technicians. And that the jury ignored the domestic violence on tape and OJ.'s blood at the crime scene. That he was running. And .... that leather gloves shrink when wet or damp.
If O.J. Simpson was innocent or not guilty, why did he run from the police and lead them on a chase? The mountain of evidence proving his guilt speaks for itself.
No Simpson, was demonized as a domestic abuser. Which isn't murder In the eyes of public opinion he appeared guilty When in reality Simpson was handcuffed under protest - questioned then realseased He became wanted again after that fact There are explanations of tampered evidence Explanations that the domestic violence accusations were only to appear guilty . You might be surprised Nicole Brown Simpson was far from being an angel
@@KevinShaughnessy-lf3vsthen why was his blood found at the crime scene? Why were the victims blood found in his bronco? Why were his footprints and blood found at the crime scene?

Absolutely. It didn’t help that the jury was not the brightest bunch not being leveled headed. The prosecution left out a lot of evidence after seeing the Tom Lange videos.
@@user_19860 Also because of lax evidence collecting that they videoed and that could have "opened" up a can of worms on a ton of cases.

Who else thinks the guy from the jury who still think oj is innocent from the bottom of his heart, is blind fool who cant see past 2 feet in front of him.
There is a good chance he was guilty but due to police incompetence, evidence mishandling and planting of evidence, the waters were so muddied that the jury had to find him not guilty. At the time I thought he was not guilty, now I'm not so sure.

This man made justice in a courtroom a huge three ring circus, diminishing his popularity as a sports hero.

That's his "legacy"...so.....why not try to remind believers in good that a verdict of "not guilty" in court doesn't mean much these days. Thanks.
this, I think should be a good case where law students can learn from- the technicalities, the theatrics, the interpretation of legal principles, the cross examinations, the appreciation of forensic evidence and collection, the court of public opinion and the impact of mood of the society - basically a How To Get Away with murder for those who wants to be a defense lawyer and the basics of How not to screw it up for those who wants to be a prosecutor. In our country- the Philippines, a good similar case but of different outcome is Vizconde Massacre case
I was in law school when the trial started. I’ve been a lawyer for 28 years now. The watched this every single class to learn. However, it wasn’t a “how to get away with murder” like you said. Ask any lawyer/student and that is not the lesson. The lesson is about research. The lesson is about how to command the court room. The lesson is when to be aggressive and when not to. The lesson is how to remain stoic in your body language. The lesson is to when to throw a statement out knowing you’re going to get an objection, or when to throw out a statement you KNOW you’re going to withdraw yourself. The lesson is if you go the prosecution route, how to handle your case when it was messed up before you even got assigned to it. The prosecution, to any unbiased jury, has no chance to win. Because you must be guilty BEYOND a reasonable doubt. This case the minute the cops stepped on the crime scene was doubt everywhere. Every single witness for the prosecution ADMITTED mistakes. Yes, every single one from the cops, to the medical examiners, to OJ’s former cop friend, to Kato. Every single cop that took the stand said at one point “that was a mistake” or “I would have done it differently” or “That’s not protocol”! Yes, every single cop said one of those phrases on the stand under oath. Clark and Darden worried about competing with the defense lawyers INSTEAD of deflecting the mishaps of the LAPD and the handling of evidence/protocol. It was a lesson in “How NOT to be a lawyer”, if you truly think about it! Even take your comment. You’re going off what you FEEL, not what you KNOW. You feel as though OJ did it. You THINK OJ did. That why jurors are the worse. You feel that way, but what do you KNOW? You KNOW evidence was mishandled because it was told by the witnesses under oath. You KNOW protocol wasn’t done correctly because the witnesses stated such under oath. You KNOW people lied because it was stated under oath. If you said OJ Dodd it, and I asked you why you think that, the first thing you’re going to say is the blood evidence. My response to you would crush every single thing such as: Blood carried in your pocket Blood brought from OK house to Nicole’s house and opened up sitting on the sidewalk for two hours by the ME. Cop finding blood at the house, left that scene, went to OJ’s house, saw his car, tried opening the door with no gloves on. I could go on and on how blood could have been transferred. Think of it like this. If you can ask your, “why did they do that?”, that means reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt means not guilty!!!
My dad said that O.J. simpson would walk free . I asked why ? Dad said , number one they should taken just one step down from the highest murder charge . That would have carried a lesser proof of guilt level . Number 2 . The lawyers do not seem to realize , they must find ways to teach the importance of the new technical importance of DNA EVIDENCE . And number 3 . Find ways to unobtrusively, overcome the hero worship of a great football player .
After watching countless documentary films on this subject and living thru it personally, there's NO WAY OJ was going to be found guilty. There was at least 1 juror in the group of 12 that would have never found him guilty. Even with the mountain of evidence against him. But i do agree that the prosecution didn't do a good job overall... And that made it easier for the jury to make the wrong decision.
that juror is so right 2 young strong ppl and all he had was a cut on his finger you so bias oj didnot kill the gigolo and the bitch is greed cause her deathlook at the evidence clearly a limping old man look wake up
Some of the police officers who were involved in this case were so fixated on jailing OJ so much so that they didn't follow basic detective procedures with the evidence and even planted their own evidence in OJ's house and in his car.
Nothing to do with glove the racist cop was the one to blame when they asked him if he planted evidence and he plead the 5th the verdict was right then which I agree with yes he did that shit and 2 ppl didn't get justice but dirty cops got millions of ppl over the years life sentences innocent

Hardest comment
@@dominicanderson3343That’s what she said.
There's no judgement, just incompetent judge and jury
I doubt you know what repent means. Also it's possible that he did NOT do it, as the jury of his peers concluded
I am African American, and grew up in South Central LA and was living there when the trial started, and I thought he was guilty from day one. Innocent people don't run, guilty ones do, and OJ was set to try and disappear. Secondly, he had a fresh cut that he explained different was to different people, it was never the same reason twice. His blood was at the scene, and before the "he was set up" group arrives, no one knew OJ was even connected to this case until much later. So they would have had to know where he would be, have his blood ready to go, and know a double homicide would take place. As far as anyone knew, OJ could have at some ones house with plenty of witnesses or halfway around the world. You can't set someone up with that amount of unknowns.
Was there a racist cop involved, YES, and I have ZERO love for the PD, but for this to be a set up, many would have to be involved and why would anyone risk their jobs for OJ? He wasn't a champion for the black community or doing good things for young black people. He moved as far away as possible and dated whites exclusively at this point, and I wouldn't even consider him "Black" if not for the color of his skin. I've know white folks who are blacker than OJ has ever been, or ever will be.
Lastly, the crime scene shoe prints had been from rare and expensive Italian made shoes, that OJ denied ever having or owning(why lie about that?). Well guess what, he owned them and there's documented proof of him wearing them. This crime scene was also horrific, and not a typical quick kill situation. It reads like a crime of passion, as the anger shown was off the charts, and guess who had a documented history of abuse? You guessed it, OJ! So for anyone thinking his son did it, or some drug dealers, or whatever else conspiracy your believing, STOP! OJ did it, if there was a 3rd of this much evidence towards anyone else, they would be locked up for life, but OJ just like most rich people get a different system in their favors.
Innocent people do run, but not rich ones. I agree with you on all this however. I just graduated highschool when this went down and my mom especially was all over this case watching it unfold daily. Cops are especially racists without doubt, and when your job is to deal with crime on the day to day, everyone is a criminal in your head. This is still an open case, and I think he had help committing the crime.
You lost me after innocent people don't run. That is false, and hilarious coming from someone who claims their black and from LA!
I am African-American is well and I also believe that OJ Simpson was guilty. But innocent people do run especially if you are black and innocent. I remember this case very well as we watch the trial every day at work. Well I do believe he was 100% guilty I am not totally upset that he got acquitted simply because of the history of race and the American criminal justice system. Too many times African Americans are falsely accused or over prosecuted and overly sentenced compared to our white counterparts. Too many times white people have gotten away with murdering innocent blacks and have never been brought to Justice. So you have to keep all of that in mind with this particular case. Again there is much historical context in play.

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu that’s what I always say all the time, OJ was so lucky that all the planets 🪐 aligned for his verdict to be on his favor.

No one can make a good movie about this, because the reality is much more impressive.
Somebody did: a TV series, anyway. American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson. Really well done. Even better is the documentary series OJ: Made in America, which outlines in great detail the racial climate that formed these jurors, as well as the life of O.J. Simpson. who once said "I'm not black, I'm O.J." He lived and thrived in the white community, never gave back to the black community, to which he had no attachment, to the point that when the just was taken to his house the defence team had to remove all the photos of him with white friends and put in some of black people, as well as some African art including a painting from Johnny Cochran's personal collection.
If Rodney King didn't happen, this trial would have been totally different
You can't do wrong and think you're gonna get away with it twice
I actually disagree. The mishandling of the evidence alone would cast reasonable doubt in any case. It was lost during the investigation. Such is the justice system.

Certainly Simpson could be a pretty cool and amazing guy who came from a true rags-to-riches background.

@@andyman2583
This should truly tell you something. This was the "first time" YOU "felt the racial divide in our country." We have always felt and seen that "racial divide" even when we were kids in the 7th grade. In the past, the KKK has lynched black people with no accountability, and white cops have murdered unarmed black folks with accountability. This is in addition to the number of young black people who have been murdered by other nationalities without accountability. For instance, Latasha Harlins was killed in Los Angeles by a Korean store owner who accused her of stealing and saw Rodney King get the beatdown in L.A with no accountability. Emmett Till was murdered at the age of 14 by two racist white men after they accused him of whistling at a white woman and were not held accountable for the killing. During playtime in a park, a racist white cop shot Tamir Rice without accountability, Trayvon Martin was murdered by another racist with accountability, and Breonna Taylor was murdered by racist white cops who kicked her door while she lay in bed. It's unbelievable how often we as black people have been "disgusted and in disbelief" because partial all-white juries repeatedly refuse to prosecute these criminals. The O.J. Simpson situation was just a drop in the bucket for you all when in fact it has been many full buckets for us over many decades. Obviously, you all "were in jubilation" bcoz no one from the radical right, who criticized the decision in Mr. Simposon's case spoke out about any of these cases.
But aside from all of this, we also saw " jubilation" from you all when Kyle Ritterhouse who murdered two human beings walked as a hero. Some Republican politicians even had the audacity to raise money for his legal defense fund. You didn't call out that did you !!!??? It's always a one-sided affair on y'all part when you call out what you perceive to be an injustice even though the two victims Ritterhouse murdered were white. But they were associated with a black cause is why they were treated with such disgust..

I HEAR THIS. You just triggered my inner angry 7 year old hahaha
Who's here after he died?.
Fascinating news, right? 🎉
Those lawyers were so smart
Im 46 years old and I remember watching the verdict in high school. I remember the sad and angry look on the white teacher faces and the black students were celebrating. That was the first time in my era seeing a division in America.
Amerikkka is a country divided and still segregated nothing has changed ws governs amerikkka
Facts. I was Marshall MN. You can hear an echo through the hallway of sadness😂
@@slinkiegirl2001 oj cheated on his b wife who he had children with for a 19yr old w woman who was a nobody. im glad oj is your hero.
Why would you celebrate a murderer getting off just because they are black? Sounds backwards
The fact that OJ literally did nothing to cover his tracks, wore his regular shoes, gloves, blood in his car and on his socks and he still got away with it is so crazy. His eyes when he sees the photo of him wearing the shoes he said he would never wear because they are so ugly at 40:05 says eveything.
And don’t forget he was black, and that’s one of the reasons why got away with it
yup, just like how all those white police officers k*lled all those Black people over the years and got away with it@@Howlingburd19
... but couldnt he have given the shoes away to someone else weeks before the murder???
Dont you give people your old stuff???
The WORST MISJUDGMENT OF AMERICAN HISTORY.😔
not the worst...

This was right after the L.A. riots & I wasn’t surprised Judge Ito allowed the jury to be replaced to make a majority of black jurors. I knew if they said he was guilty there would be fear of another riot. This was made to be about race & no matter if they explained DNA, the jurors wouldn’t listen. Also having him put on gloves over latex gloves, of course would make it more difficult. Also the defense saying the blood was contaminated, rather than the blood was planted there proves the blood was O. J.’s. If you contaminate blood, then it would show it could be another person, but the odds of contaminated blood to somehow be O.J. Is a billion to one .the media also pushed this white vs black divide. If a white person felt he was guilty, it meant he was a racist. Now 28 yrs. Later most now believe he’s guilty, but not back then.
Guilty people run, innocent people do not.
Maybe that’s why innocent people are sometimes put in prison. They trust too much of the justice system 😬
wasnt even oj in the bronco
Tell that to Richard Kimble
@@petemorris8499it was the one armed man!
I was a kid during this moment and I remember thinking that OJ was obviously guilty. When an adult explained to me that this was a racially charged trial and also I saw how Black and White people were choosing the verdict based on the perpetrator and victims’ skin color, I started to side with OJ because as a kid and of course now, I disliked witnessing how some White people and White cops would talk to and treat so called Black people and so called immigrants. While I still know OJ to be guilty and needing to serve life in jail, I also think of Emmitt Till and the thousands of Black people among others who were brutally murdered simply because of the shade of their skin and their killers getting away with it… The American judicial system is truly broken.
but you dont have a problem with how people like oj treat other races? tell that to all the kids getting beat up at school every day and receiving death threats. look at what howard stern went through at school growing up and that still goes on but you dont care about that as long as the perpetrators look like oj or george lopez.
I remember my English professor taking a vote at the end of class, then heading to the dorm. Everyone was glued to the televisions. Everyone was in shock. I just knew it was going to be a guilty verdict.
Huh? You knew it was going to be a guilty verdict? He wasn't convicted.....it was a not guilty verdict. Your comment is confusing.
@@StaticXtreme444 It's just a turn of phrase. Obviously I didn't know the outcome of the trial. My opinion was that he'd be found guilty.
@@qtpiballereveryone expected the verdict to be guilty not because they were convinced he committed the crime but because they knew that for a black celebrity accused of such crime to a caucasian there was no way out. Until they realize the world changed under their feet. Too bad it was only for 13 years and the cops were setting him up in every corner after miserably failing to take him out for murder.
i thought it would be guilty or a hung jury at the least.
He was 100% guilty as sin.
Ojay did it. The prosecution blew the case.All that evidence was planted against Ojay? The civil trial was won by Nicole family proving there was enough evidence to convict Ojay. The Prosecution didn’t do their job. Ojay paid for a dream team which got him off. Blame the system that the white’s created. Many blacks was guilty of crime they didn’t commit but had no money to afford a quality lawyer. Racism is hell.The dream team used it and won. Again the prosecution loss the case. All that evidence they had. The murders showed the racism is still in America. The rest is history, ojay got away with murder, my opinion.
This was even more about class in some respects!
Winning a civil trial does not "prove there is enough evidence to convict." Not at all, actually. It's a different burden of proof, and winning a civil trial is way easier. In a civil trial, you win if you show that there is a "preponderance of the evidence" supporting your case. That means a 51% chance you are right is enough to win a civil trial. A criminal trial is a much higher burden of proof -- it is the highest burden of proof in all of American law -- "beyond reasonable doubt." Hard to put an exact number on it, but if I had to it would be certainly above 90%. Even if the evidence is strong in a criminal case, they have to acquit if there is even any lingering reasonable possibility he didn't do it. Not true in a civil case at all. They are completely different systems with completely different rules and burdens, civil vs. criminal. It is not true that winning a civil case means you have enough to convict. You could very clearly not have enough evidence to convict and still win a civil case.
I think that had OJ done the killing in that court room during the trial, in full view of everyone there and recorded on television, that jury still would have found him innocent.
Its the opposite, because even though you know the cops planted evidence you still want a conviction based on that.
I agree. That jury was determined to let him off. A massive chip on their shoulders.
um no....stop being willfully obtuse
"The glove does not fit" was a winning strategy. Even a newest glove with exact same brand and same size that O.J. used to wear (leather, not rubber) (and fit perfectly) will never fit when "extra" glove was worn inside. Smartest feign move that fooled millions.
"fooled millions"?
I don't think so. Fooled a handful of black people on the jury.
Yeah, the 'theatrics' certainly did it for him!
I was watching the trial on and off for its duration - from Denmark 🇩🇰
I could not believe that it turned into a trial against the detectives and technicians. And that the jury ignored the domestic violence on tape and OJ.'s blood at the crime scene. That he was running. And .... that leather gloves shrink when wet or damp.
Domestic violence does not equal murder. The lady was involved with a bunch of drug dealers, users and other shady characters.

If O.J. Simpson was innocent or not guilty, why did he run from the police and lead them on a chase? The mountain of evidence proving his guilt speaks for itself.
No
Simpson, was demonized as a domestic abuser.
Which isn't murder
In the eyes of public opinion he appeared guilty
When in reality Simpson was handcuffed under protest - questioned then realseased
He became wanted again after that fact
There are explanations of tampered evidence
Explanations that the domestic violence accusations were only to appear guilty .

Guilty or Not Guilty... The prosecution screwed up big time...and this is why they lost.
Absolutely. It didn’t help that the jury was not the brightest bunch not being leveled headed. The prosecution left out a lot of evidence after seeing the Tom Lange videos.
@@user_19860 Also because of lax evidence collecting that they videoed and that could have "opened" up a can of worms on a ton of cases. As back then they could only say with DNA was accurate if it was collected right (two figure of 8 motions) and the they didn't. . Now in 2024 they knew it's still 99.8 if they did 2 or 3 figure of 8's.
This case shows that money- not race- gets you off. America never learned from this.
The LAPD did themselves NO FAVORS with OJ Simpson as that happened right after the Rodney King incident.
That glove stunt would never have been allowed by a responsible judge. It was potentially prejudicial to BOTH sides.
Two wrongs don’t make a right
Crazy thing is that the glove DID fit. There was a rubber glove underneath it making it harder to put on. But it DID fit..
i would hate my father for killing my mom. nobody ever talks about the children but I'm sure they have dealt with trauma. i happy to know they were successful later in life
If he did, I'd say it's becos he knew she wanted to divorce his ass and take half his shiyt.
He probably wasn't gonna have that if he did it.

@@joefreeman3772 everybody has their own theory
@@joefreeman3772lol. OJ is a killer. You know it o know it and the defence knew it as did the jury. Only in America.
Who else thinks the guy from the jury who still think oj is innocent from the bottom of his heart, is blind fool who cant see past 2 feet in front of him.
There is a good chance he was guilty but due to police incompetence, evidence mishandling and planting of evidence, the waters were so muddied that the jury had to find him not guilty. At the time I thought he was not guilty, now I'm not so sure.
Lolz cry about it

Well balanced take.
He got not guilty because he was Block famous Athlete.

Odd timing for UA-cam to recommend this..
This man made justice in a courtroom a huge three ring circus, diminishing his popularity as a sports hero. That youthful fame will take 2nd place in history, and bring more jugglers, elephants held in captivity, and clowns to the halls and courtrooms in the land of freedom.
That's his "legacy"...so.....why not try to remind believers in good that a verdict of "not guilty" in court doesn't mean much these days. Thanks.
it's purposely recommended
this, I think should be a good case where law students can learn from- the technicalities, the theatrics, the interpretation of legal principles, the cross examinations, the appreciation of forensic evidence and collection, the court of public opinion and the impact of mood of the society - basically a How To Get Away with murder for those who wants to be a defense lawyer and the basics of How not to screw it up for those who wants to be a prosecutor. In our country- the Philippines, a good similar case but of different outcome is Vizconde Massacre case
I was in law school when the trial started. I’ve been a lawyer for 28 years now. The watched this every single class to learn. However, it wasn’t a “how to get away with murder” like you said. Ask any lawyer/student and that is not the lesson.
The lesson is about research. The lesson is about how to command the court room. The lesson is when to be aggressive and when not to. The lesson is how to remain stoic in your body language. The lesson is to when to throw a statement out knowing you’re going to get an objection, or when to throw out a statement you KNOW you’re going to withdraw yourself.
The lesson is if you go the prosecution route, how to handle your case when it was messed up before you even got assigned to it. The prosecution, to any unbiased jury, has no chance to win. Because you must be guilty BEYOND a reasonable doubt. This case the minute the cops stepped on the crime scene was doubt everywhere. Every single witness for the prosecution ADMITTED mistakes. Yes, every single one from the cops, to the medical examiners, to OJ’s former cop friend, to Kato. Every single cop that took the stand said at one point “that was a mistake” or “I would have done it differently” or “That’s not protocol”! Yes, every single cop said one of those phrases on the stand under oath. Clark and Darden worried about competing with the defense lawyers INSTEAD of deflecting the mishaps of the LAPD and the handling of evidence/protocol. It was a lesson in “How NOT to be a lawyer”, if you truly think about it!
Even take your comment. You’re going off what you FEEL, not what you KNOW. You feel as though OJ did it. You THINK OJ did. That why jurors are the worse. You feel that way, but what do you KNOW? You KNOW evidence was mishandled because it was told by the witnesses under oath. You KNOW protocol wasn’t done correctly because the witnesses stated such under oath. You KNOW people lied because it was stated under oath. If you said OJ Dodd it, and I asked you why you think that, the first thing you’re going to say is the blood evidence. My response to you would crush every single thing such as:
Blood carried in your pocket
Blood brought from OK house to Nicole’s house and opened up sitting on the sidewalk for two hours by the ME.
Cop finding blood at the house, left that scene, went to OJ’s house, saw his car, tried opening the door with no gloves on.
I could go on and on how blood could have been transferred. Think of it like this. If you can ask your, “why did they do that?”, that means reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt means not guilty!!!
And also if someone has enough money to flood into the legal system at any cost.
yup, it’s a good template to things can go
He is guilty.
If OJ didn't do it, who did?
The OJ Simpson trial was, without a doubt, the most iconic and infamous trial of our lifetimes so far.

And number 3 . Find ways to unobtrusively, overcome the hero worship of a great football player .
What about furman lying about going in the bronco, and the planted blood with edta in it?
Jury consultants studied the case etc pretrial, and strongly advised not to have Marcia Clark as lead prosecutor. Juries didn't like her.
You forgot about the cops planting evidence, which Ferman pleaded the 5th about.
That juror interviewed was not vetted properly.he was obviously an OJ superfan.
I feel like you just made that up
After watching countless documentary films on this subject and living thru it personally, there's NO WAY OJ was going to be found guilty. There was at least 1 juror in the group of 12 that would have never found him guilty. Even with the mountain of evidence against him.
But i do agree that the prosecution didn't do a good job overall... And that made it easier for the jury to make the wrong decision.
If evidence is planted it doesn't matter how much of it there is.
