That white bronco chase was such a big deal because 1. They shut down an entire freeway so the city of LA was at a standstill 2. It was so slow. He wasn't even going the speed limit from what I remember. Him and his buddy were just casually driving down an empty freeway for around 2 hours. Every channel switched to it and my dad called me from work to watch it since he knew I was an MTV junkie. It was crazy because everyone thought he was the worlds nicest guy and here he was driving at like 30 mph down the center of the freeway with a gun to his head and roughly 30 cop cars after him.

If I recall correctly, a photo of Simpson wearing the Bruno Magli shoes didn't surface until after the not guilty verdict in the criminal case, despite strenuous efforts by the prosecution to find one. When it did, it came from a photographer who'd been engaged to photograph Simpson at some publicity event. Since it had been a paying gig, he had kept his dated invoice, proving that Simpson unquestionably had owned a pair of the shoes at the time of the murders.

@@mistym0rning Yeah except that evidence of blood wasn't collected properly and mishandled that it looked unnatural and therefor was argued that it was planted by the cops. It had traces of EDTA so they argued it was from a lab. The accusation of the blood being planted plus the blood being contaminated with what looks like what's used in labs was enough to throw doubt on the blood evidence. Tech today would have been able to tell the difference between natural EDTA and lab version but back then it wasn't. Now I do believe OJ is guilty but you stating it so clear cut makes it obvious you don't know much about the case. The police messed up. All this "strong" evidence wasn't because of how the police handled it. Fuhrman the guy that lied under oath and was really racist was even asked if he falsified reports or planted evidence and he pleaded the 5th.

The first time I heard about OJ Simpson's murder case was in a statistics course, and how stats can manipulate points of view. OJ's lawyer argued, yes there was domestic abuse, but the number of domestic abusers that eventually killed their significant other, was like 1 in a 1000 (I can't remember). But obviously, he omitted the fact that of course most people don't kill their wives or husbands even if there is domestic abuse. Murders are rare to begin with. BUT if there WAS a murder, the likelihood of the abusive husband being the murderer is more than half the time. It's absolutely mind boggling how he got away with murder.
@hernandayolearyallda 10 күн бұрын
Correction, most men who murder their wives have no prior history of abusing them, Scott Petersons are far more common. The defense intended to call a psychologist to testify towards why OJ was not typical of a man who would kill his wife [ie divorced for many years, moved on with girlfriend, refused ex-wife's advances to get back together, vacationed with ex-wife and attended events with her like Trump's wedding to Marla maples, single incident of "abuse" which was several pushes after she attacked him with a bat, etc.]

Unlikely given literal juror statements where more than one had already made their mind up prior to the trial due to Rodney King. To put it bluntly, the trial was anything but a legal proceeding for a murder, and the jury were made up of jurors who not only came in willing to acquit because of events that weren't related to the case but would have had a near infinite amount of slights from decades of racism at the LAPD. It was a miscarriage of justice, and if the LAPD had done everything right and to the book and above the law you'd have had, at best, a hung jury, if not another acquittal.

I was a kid in 1995 and remember this going on. Even then, I had the unsettling feeling that he was a bad person, just seeing him on TV. But when he was acquitted, I had this idea that "well, I guess he didn't do it" because kids are dumb and I guess I thought there's no way they'd get something that big wrong. Of course, the older I got, the more I learned how fallacious that line of thinking was, and became as convinced as everyone else that he was guilty. Thank you for the coverage of it here. Looking back now, I feel so bad for Nicole. She did what we're all told to do: report it, get out--and she did the best she could with the circumstances to do exactly that... yet it wasn't enough, the police didn't help, and she not only got killed, but he basically got away with it. I wish I could say the world had changed, but looking at both domestic violence stats and the corrupt, broken "justice" system... it's just the same shit, different decade, isn't it?
@bobbun9630 6 күн бұрын
"I thought there's no way they'd get something that big wrong." The jury didn't get it wrong. The job of the prosecution was to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and if the jury didn't think the prosecution managed that, then they got it right when they acquitted. As perverse as it may seem, we don't actually send people to prison for the acts they actually committed. We send them to prison because the prosecution convinced a jury that that the person committed those acts. We mostly all accept on the basis of faith in the jury system that these are the same thing, but they're really not.

As someone who had had gloves shrink after being wet, the "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit" rings hollow. Those gloves were found outside and were not exactly in pristine condition. If they had been too big despite their condition, that would be a different case entirely (although if you put the wet gloves on something to stretch them, they will do so. But it takes work to stretch them. Water makes the leather more able to both shrink and stretch, but shrinking doesn't take work.)

Mark Fuhrman was far more damaging to the case because his recording primed the jury to think of all evidence in the context of him admitting to planting evidence in previous cases. The problem is that even if Fuhrman wanted to plant evidence he would have had to have known he was going to frame OJ before he even knew where he was going or what happened. The timeline of events for him to have planted evidence don't make any sense. However, this reasoning would have been completely prejudiced by the recordings of Fuhrman using racial slurs, claiming to brutalize suspects, and claiming to plant evidence.
@shawnwales696 18 күн бұрын
I think the jury was more afraid of the possible repercussions of convicting him (such as the riots after the not guilty verdicts in the Rodney King case) and of being labeled as racists than they were concerned that Simpson might murder someone else. I was in my late 30s at the time and there was a lot if side eye glances. They had to know that they were acquitting a probably guilty man. That's our system though, it's run by humans and humans are infamously flawed, we shouldn't be surprised when cases like this occur occasionally.

Two things that surprise me: Florida somehow having a law that allows criminals to get away from getting their court-ordered payments made (you'd think a exception for debts incurring from either criminal or civil court-ordered settlements would exist but again, it's Florida); The other is LaVergne's statement claiming he'd do everything to make sure the Goldmans didn't got nothing. At least here such a comment would be considered a grave violation of the Ethics and Discipline Code of the OAB (similar to a State bar association, but that covers the entire country) and would get him suspended pending investigation, and maybe even disbarred (and here disbarment is a death sentence to any lawyer's career).

Las Vegas Metro was in communication with two members of the group who went with Simpson to take back his memorabilia. They knew that the crime was going to be committed, and they sat back and let it happen. Their informants/participants were in fact gathering evidence for them. It was all done to make sure that he would finally go to prison after getting away with murder. My source: two outside consultants working at Las Vegas Metro at the time, who were present when explicit conversations about the setup took place, before and afterwards.

Those razors really are good. I've had one for about a year, used it just a couple of hours ago. It's paid for itself several times over in not having to buy the replacement heads; I've yet to buy more blades, and as old school double side flat razor blades, they'll be really cheap when I have to. One of the few things I bought on an internet ad (Simon Whistler in this case) and while yeah, kinda steep on the front end, worth it.

The amount of times that OJ claimed he loved Nicole to then just sit in every interview and laugh hysterically was enough for me. I knew he was guilty from the moment I saw all the evidence and the court proceedings. Him laughing hysterically when discussing the brutal murders of his ex-wife and Ron Goldman, I cannot have respect for such an individual

@BrooksMoses 18 күн бұрын
@@matthewbarabas3052 No, that would be the evidence that later was found to be insufficient to prove that he was guilty to a "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard. Courts don't "prove" people guilty; they "find" them guilty, which is something a reasonable person can disagree with, and they certainly don't "prove" people not guilty because that is not their job. All the criminal court found was there was some "reasonable doubt". The rule is "If you're only 99% certain, you must acquit." And, of course, the civil court found that the evidence was sufficient to establish that he probably did it.

Props for remembering the "If i did it" sketch from "The Chris Rock Show" which was famously predicted such a ridiculous book. Also, OJ's film career dates all the way back to when he was a student at USC. His appearance in "The Towering Inferno" was while he was an active player in the NFL. "Capricorn One" and "The Naked Gun" came right at the end of his playing career. Not to mention the Hertz ads. So he was very much a household name, even if you didn't follow football.

The big issue with getting OJ to try on the glove. Which most people buy gloves that are pretty tight, is that he tried it on with a surgical type glove already on. Try that at home and see how well it goes.

A ghostwriter is the term used when the primary source, namely OJ here, provides the information to another person who proceeds to write the actual book. The ghost writer is not given credit for writing the book, that goes to the primary source.

The fact the Florida even has a law that allows such practises in order to basically circumvent any form of collecting from a court determined debt is from my point an attack on the right of the courts as the law basically makes any form of debt uninforcable and as such null and void, killing any form of legal protection for the stiffed party.
