Agreed. Didn’t read the book, but listened to the investigator’s interview. I am leaning towards the coverup of his son’s crimes. There was motive by Jason and there was a coverup motive by OJ.

Off the charts homosexual!
Yassir Arafat raped a bunch of American woman who had their kids in Palestine.
They eligible too.
Here I thought Charlie was the nut...
These Hollywood types make it so simple: Follow the money.
They'll quit pushing OJ when there's no more easy money in it.
Can these old Communists just please die? They always had a hard time breaking into the black community because of Christianity (thus Liberation Theology was created). So they continue to beat the ‘social issues’ like picking a fetid, weeping scab.
Too much DNA blood evidence on many items from the murder scene confirms without a doubt O.J’s guilt. Plus, before the murders he frequently beat the h*ll out of Nicole. She told friends she was convinced he was going to murder her. There’s also a ton of circumstantial evidence condemning O.J. He did it...doubters have to get over it.
Robert Duvall in Gods and Generals was much better. .................................. Too bad Eli Walleck was too old for the part, I always thought he was the closest looking actor for the Gen Lee part.
Too much DNA blood evidence on many items from the murder scene confirms without a doubt O.J’s guilt. ....................... Got to agree with that. During the time of trial I had the occasion to meet one of the workers from the DNA lab in CT. The word was, “if they base the trial on the DNA, he’s dead meat”. So, what happened, they picked a jury of folks who were on the left of the bell curve and weren’t intelligent to understand the DNA evidence. The only thing they should have understood was that if you opened your hand and tried to put on a glove, its not going to go on easy. The only think that didn’t fit,in that trial, was the juries IQ. Then again, I guess OJ did get a jury of his peers?
Poor Marty. It was so hot in the Philippines during the filming of Apocalypse Now that his brain got fried.
After that, he plans a movie explaining that Ted Cruz has always been faithful.
and here we thought his son Charlie was the crazy one.
That miniseries also had Gregory Peck as Abraham Lincoln and Rip Torn as Ulysses Grant.
Or Tebow is a QB.
I jumped to this lily pad right away when it became clear that mom way frittering away money that would have gone to Jason eventually. (And OJ was letting her do it.)
Could even explain a partial match of DNA. Shoes were in closet, gloves did not fit.
It is such an example of how not to prosecute a case, how not to maintain control of a courtroom, etc. etc. etc. As a lawyer I could see that this (jury nullification) was the worst possible thing to come out of a trial that was more widely watched than any other in history. It meant that many people who had no understanding and no sense of context would think that this was somehow representative of criminal prosecution or criminal trials.
I’ve been watching “The Man in the High Castle” and have been thinking a lot about the genre of alternative history. Think about the alternative history that has OJ taking his life during or immediately after the low speed chase. He just kills himself rather than be prosecuted. It would have spared us this divisive event (the trial) and would have attenuated this sense of black Americans seeing justice as a team sport of some kind. Wow, if only he had the guts to end it all then, how much better the world would be by that single act.
One direct consequence of the “lesson” learned by the general public in the OJ criminal trial I think was evident in the Jon Benet Ramsey killing and its aftermath. The parents immediately lawyered up and did a lot of things to obstruct the investigation. I think that was a direct result of the Ramsey’s having seen O.J. lawyer up to a ridiculous degree, and having seen him put on that kitchen sink defense.
I suspect if you ran an intervention model on homicides, using a binary variable for before OJ Verdict and After OJ Verdict, you could detect an uptick in homicides and spousal violence based on what some folks took away from that event (the trial and acquittal.)
It is nothing but bad, and it does not get better with time. I have wished that OJ would be beaten to death in the Nevada prison where he serves time. He really deserves to be on death row in CA, but getting killed in NV would be some kind of justice.
However, you're right...getting the the "right" people on the jury was key. Because the amount of factual and circumstantial evidence against O.J. was staggering.
I didn't follow the trial much as it was going on. But I had numerous co-workers who did. I wanted to wait until the circus was over before I made my own judgment. My co-workers were correct...O.J. was undeniably guilty.
>>How do you explain the bloody foot print made by a size 12 pair of Bruno Magli Lorenzo boots, a boot which OJ just happened to own in that size?<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That’s easy. O.J. was called to the crime scene by his son, and is an accomplice after the fact (don’t know the exact terminology in CA Criminal Code).
>>How then did O.J’s blood end up all over the crime scene, and the blood of both victims end up inside O.J.’s Bronco?<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It’s been years since I read Dear’s book, but I know he addressed all the blood evidence.
Basically, O.J. WAS THERE—after the fact. He was GUILTY OF THE COVERUP, not the murders.
There was a very tiny amount of blood in the Bronco. Not nearly enough for O.J. to have committed the crime, which was a major blood bath.
