Yes, a juror really did give Simpson the raised fist as he left the courtroom. His name was Lionel (Lon) Cryer, and as The New York Times reported, he was “a former Black Panther whom prosecutors had inexplicably left on the panel.” I’ll give you a minute to pick up your dropped jaw: Yes, there was an ex-Panther on the Simpson jury. Here he is in the Washington Post, commenting on the prosecution’s case against OJ: “It was garbage in, garbage out,” said Cryer, a former Black Panther Party member who raised his left arm in a clenched-fist salute to Simpson as the panelists walked out of the courtroom on Tuesday. He didn’t just raise his fist. As the Times explained: Before the verdict was read, the same juror, Lionel Cryer, a 44-year-old black man, had smiled and winked at him.

"WHY HAVEN’T I HEARD MORE ABOUT THIS? Because the courtroom cameras weren’t allowed to record jurors, people at home didn’t see Cryer’s gesture.

Of course we all heard about the OJ juror who was a Black panther and raised his fist and winked at OJ in the courtroom... You didn't? Oh wait, neither did I.

Dumbest Prosecution office in Judicial History..it all goes back to Eric Garcetti, the case should have been tried in the jurisdiction where the crime was committed, closest courthouse would have been Santa Monica, those would have been OJ’s REAL peers and the Prosecution wouldn’t have been stuck with these low life jurors who wanted to make a statement instead of looking at the actual evidence, but OJ got his karma, in the pokey for life

I remember well when the verdict was read. People brought tvs to work just to see when it was read.

All the white employees were astounded, and the black employees were ecstatic.

I was hoping that OJ would die of diabetes while Zero was still in office -- just to hear the eulogy, and how it could turn the entire country red in November.
