wasn't old enough to remember the case so was he definitely guilty of murder of his wife? if not him then who else could it have been, I would have imagined they'd have been plenty of dna evidence at the scene of any outsider? the attack from what I read was unbelievably brutal

Hes about to be Released from a 9 year sentence for other Crime ,OJ is not the Good Egg people once thought he was .

By:
He's served 9 of a 33yr sentence for armed robbery. As for his wife's murder, he was as guilty as hell, but "if the glove don't fit you have to acquit".

No-one in Britain would even have heard of OJ Simpson if his wife hadn't been murdered just as Sky was taking off so all the media types watched American satellite news 24x7 and then gave us a running commentary on the radio.

its quite likely that some of the evidence was planted
the blood evidence had his blood sample taken in the boot of dectectives car to crime scene before going to lab blood sample taken from scene had preservative in it, that was added to prevent sample clotting one glove thrown away at crime scene and other thrown away at ojs house, .... blood on ojs sock suggesting it had been added long after murder i think it likely oj done it, but there was so much not right with police department it was easy to turn trial into a trial of police judge was a bit weak too, and should have stepped down when it became known police officer knew his wife, which came out in furman tapes oj assembled quite a team of lawyers to challenge just about every step of the prosecution evidence i still reckon on balance he done it, but new theories arise all the time rather like jfk i doubt that 100% details are known until we invent a time machine |

He was found guilty, just it was in the civil court because his dream team played the system and got him found not guilty previously.
He made some very silly decisions and the authorities were chomping at the bit to get him convicted and he gave them a stupid reason. Im glad hes not going to die in prison for something stupid, I just home to now toddles off and keeps his nose clean. Those that argue that we have an investment in our society and legal system cant complain when he out played em on fair grounds. |

OJ - Made In America was on BT Sport then BBC4. That is an essential watch.
The man is a piece of sh1t. He beat his wife over a long period of time. His friendship with cops meant blind eyes were turned. That series ties in the circus of the trial with race relations in LA. The Rodney King incident was fresh in the memory and one juror confessed on camera that the not guilty verdict was 'payback' for Rodney King. Another juror did a black power salute. It was a farce. There were some sloppy procedures at the crime scene but the idea of evidence being planted is ridiculous - but within the context of race relations there at the time it was not ridiculous to the black jurors. As an example it was suggested the glove (that was bought by Nicole as receipts showed) was planted by a detective. A friend of OJ who believed at that time he was innocent, told the story that another friend said - "For that detective to have planted that glove he would needed to have known that one of the most famous men in the country had no alibi, something at that time he couldn't have known." After that he was 99% sure OJ did it. The gloves were soaked in blood and shrank. OJ was wearing protective gloves while trying the gloves on. Most importantly he has arthritic hands. He stopped taking his medication for 2 weeks so his hands swelled up.... while his defence team goaded the prosecution into getting him to try them on. The black prosecutor, under unbelievable pressure in a race trial walked right into it. Guilty as sin. The armed robbery was a bit of a farce and misunderstanding and was the law getting payback. |
|
By:
The crucial part was that the defence did nothing wrong, the guy was aquitted based on the very aspects and proceedures of the process of trials themselves....so to say a man that was aquitted is really guilty is a total misnomer.
Ofc people can form their opinions, but ultimately there was a trial and a combination of events meant they blew it as much as his defence 'played' the system. The very fact the police did barginning pleas with 5 of his robbery gang just to get OJs conviction shows all you needed to know about their mindset. |

By:
The whole period was besett with racial issues.
The very people charged with policing society get found to be institutionally racist, just as the black community had been attesting to essentially was its own trial within a trial. |
|
By:
I can't agree dusty. If people are unwilling to look at the evidence then the trial and verdict is a farce. That applies to the Rodney King trial as well as OJ's. There was virtually no deliberation as they 'wanted to go home'.
The defence did nothing wrong, you are right. The judge let them away with it and was to blame for what they did. Televising it was insane. |
|
By:
I don't know how jury's are picked, but looking it up, there were 8 black jurors, 2 mixed raced jurors, 1 white juror and 1 Hispanic, at a time of racial tension (Rodney King in particular) it is possible this could have played a part in the decision.
|

By:
Televising it was fantastic. It gave people an insight into the Justice system. The racist cop subsequently went on to be an " expert " on Law and Order issues for Fox news!
The bottom line was that the prosecutors got it wrong and the the corrupt cop was all the defence needed to introduce reasonable doubt. Any person around at the time would have seen the corruption and racism that was around then and still is now within the LAPD. The most telling thing for me and indication of his guilt although without a shadow of proof was Kardashian. The TV series recently was amazing and brought it all back for me. One thing I think we can all agree on is that Solicitours are generally scum. I am with Napoleon on that one! Many have psychopathic tendencies. They only care about themselves. |

Yeah, I think the Prosecution were keen on it not turning into a race issue but they couldn't get away from it and it did play into Johnnie Cochrane's hands. |

the murders were not a race issue, the trial was!

http://www.thewrap.com/oj-simpson-juror-not-guilty-verdict-was-payback-for-rodney-king/
The trial was a reality TV circus that trivialised two people being slaughtered. The verdict was not based on the evidence. The whole thing was a farce. |
|
By:
It was a farce true and two innocent people got murdered and the murderer got away with it. It happens all the time not just in America but here too. How many innocent men rot in Americans jails put there by fabricated Police evidence? How many American Citiznes ( and Australian for that matter ) get gun downed by American Policemen who literally get away with murder?

The series that covered the trial was good, but the documentary on OJ was even better I thought.
It was around 6 hours long. The guy was selling autographs from jail, from recollection they went at around 150 Dollars each and he did thousands a day, which paid for the dream team, which got him off. Just goes to show justice and capitalism make unusual bedfellows. |

what is the name of the documentary and the maker please?

was that it? |

I saw recently US cops got called to a noise complaint. A dog was loose and the cop tried to shoot it, missed, and killed some teenager. Baltimore cop was filmed planting heroin after thinking he turned his bodycam off when it was just the sound he had switched off. Things like that will have consequences.

The documentary had most of the key players interviewed in it, but I was always wondering what the children of OJ and Nicole made of all the events.
I cant recall seeing what they made of their father's part in it all. |

http://heavy.com/sports/2017/07/oj-simpson-kids-ages-where-are-they-now-sydney-justin-photos/ Neither Sydney nor Justin have ever spoken publicly about the murder trial or their mother’s tragic death. In 2011, an unnamed source told Bossip that Sydney just wants to move forward with life. “Sydney still believes that her father murdered her mother, but she wants to make peace with him and tell him that she forgives him. She said, ‘Murderer or not, he’s still my father and he’s the only parent I’ve got. I can’t abandon him,'” the source quoted Sydney as saying. |

Yep, youtube awash with corrupt cop video footage in USA.

By:
Have to agree, if it wasn't for the murder case, we'd never have heard of him here. He was a huge star in America before and after his american football career. He had a small part in the brilliant Airplane movie and did some other TV work, but he was still a total unknown in this country. The murder case change everything - and had unfortunate side-effects the world is still facing today (i.e the Kardashians
 ) |
