As to OJ, those jurors just hated the Cops and 'whitey'. They were getting even with 'the man', end of story. And it wasn't 'the Glove'. I saw that I knew he was intentionally stretching his hand, as I do that with gloves I don't want any more. Plus anyone with a pulse knows leather gloves shrink after they get wet, with water or blood. Getting them back on takes some 'working'. Leather Golf Gloves do that after every round.
But with this case I don't know I didn't follow it. The only thing I do remember was her mom or dad saying that in her car trunk that it had "The Smell Of Death". And once you smell it you know what it is and always will (I know). But was that enough to convict? I don't know about the other evidence they had to convict her of murder? (Murder being the operative word)
She told lie after lie even saying she had left Caylee w/ a nanny---trying to pin the murder on the nanny (that woman is now suing her).
Innocent people don't have to lie.
But I think the biggest evidence of guilt was that she waited 31 days to notify anybody about Caylee being missing. After all that time, Caylee had to be dead----how could a small child fend for herself?
Mothers don't act like that---if a small child is missing, they call 911 immediately....and shout it from the rooftops to get help from anyone who will listen.
I think the jurors were swayed by videos the defense showed----Caylee and Casey having fun together. That put the all-important "doubt" in the juror's mind that a mother could kill her own child.
