I had no idea, but we have schools named after him.....and even streets. How in the world does a man that successfully lies and prevents murderers from being locked up for a living, have such public things named after him? I'm amazed.

Liberal hero's are allowed in today's world. Remember when Harry Reid basically admitted lying about Romney when he told a reporter that reported on his lies and ask him about it? Reid said smiling "it worked didn't it". Nothing else was said. There are no repercussions for the lies being told today. Politicians have no fear of consequences. Bill's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman". Hillary's We took sniper fire on the tarmac when clearly she was under no threat at all. Obama's "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." and the list goes on.

Seems fair if we have schools named after redneck traitors to the USA.

Besides, after the Chewbacca defense, the guy deserves a monument in the town square.


Everyone should know OJ was likely acquitted so LA wouldn't burn again so soon after the Rodney King cops walked after being caught using force that tasteful people should agree was a weeeee bit excessive.

Not sure.

Your take on why OJ was acquitted is like every other take you have. Wrong.

Why was OJ acquitted then?

My guess is a theory based on the racial climate in America in the early 90s mixed in with racist Mark Furman and general bungling of the case by the prosecution. That riot was still fresh in everyone's minds. I remember seeing news reports about how on edge the town was awaiting the verdict. I was only 15 at the time. I wasn't there. You likely weren't either. Since you know everything, educate me.

Watching the ESPN documentary on the OJ case should let you know why the black jury wasn't going to convict no matter what the lawyers proved, it was very well done.

If the prosecutors had proven anything, your take may have been correct. However, Marcia Clark etc did the worst job for a prosecutor that I can remember. Only the prosecutor in the Casey Anthony trial has any argument to take that spot. Furman sure didn't help matters but that failure falls on Clark and her team. We all know OJ either did it or helped/had someone do it. However, the way the US legal system is set up, the correct verdict based on the case presented by the Clark and her team was not guilty regardless of race.

Lol. Tough one. He was found not guilty bc the trial got moved to dtown LA and the jury was predominantly black. African Americans thought they were finally getting justice for wrongs they have gotten in the court system. The ironic thing is they actually promoted for the same thing to keep happening....someone with means and well off was able to buy their way out of trouble. OJ mostly only hung out with white ppl, married/dated only white women, gave nothing back to the black community. Good job guys...you showed "the man"..justice!

They literally interviewed one of the jurors in the documentary and she said she was going to vote not guilty no matter what was proven. Again, watch the documentary they do a great job explaining everything.

Again, it doesn't matter what they were going to do. It only matters what they did. If the Prosecutors had done an adequate job, then voting not guilty no matter what would have merit. Based on the case and the prosecution, regardless of reasons or motivation, the not guilty verdict was the correct verdict.

I don't know what youre arguing but youre not arguing any point I've made. The jury was not going to find him guilty no matter how good a job the prosecution did or didn't do.

Such a virtuous soul. Willing to admit if he's wrong on something that can't be proven.

You're a big reason a lot of people are rioting.

Haha. It's now partially my fault that people 500 miles or more away from me are rioting?

Nail at the foul line told me I was wrong. Now it can't be proven. Which one is it?

GD. I didn't realize the power of Mega.

Bask in it, brother.

Actually it has all the merit needed. Maybe the prosecutors realized that too and knew the back lash had they done a better job and the verdict was still not guilty. Never know probably.

They won the OJ case because the police investigation was incompetent, headed by an admitted racist.

And just as importantly, the prosecution took several unnecessary swings for the fences (like the glove). Whiffed on all of them

You repeated the narrative. I thought maybe you were a reporter.

No im a trial lawyer. I never ever ask questions unless i know the answers.

No trial lawyer with any sense would ever ask someone to try on a pair of gloves. It is an epic degree of carelessness to do so without knowing 110% for sure they fit. Even moreso when you dont even need to take the risk in the first place.

They overplayed their hand trying to make a good case into a great case; because the ego of beating the dream team.

Thats not a narrative. Thats just the truth.
