Then,thanks to Johnnie Cochrane (who's now rotting in hell) he was tried by a *true* jury of his peers...those peers having a collective IQ of 55.
Lived in the LA area at the time. I figure that Simpson went to murder Nicole and Goldman was just collateral damage. I doubt he knew that Goldman would be there. Bad timing as Goldman had just arrived to give Nicole her mother’s glasses, left on the dining table after dinner, at the restaurant where Goldman had worked. And FYI, there was one juror who the others perceived would hang the jury, Francine somebody (sorry, too many years so cannot remember the name). Some of the other jurors made up a story that she had been saying she wanted to write a book about her experience on the jury. They took that story to Ito and, of course, Ito booted the only juror who cared about the murders. It was a sad day in the country when most of us realized that Simpson had gotten away with murder. And yes, I also feel that most of those who helped Simpson in his travesty, have deservedly suffered greatly for subverting justice.
I remember after the trial was over, Marcia Clark lamented that she knew she would have an uphill battle prosecuting Simpson becasue of the low IQ of the jury members. She called them 'moon rocks'.
