The OJ trial has caused many arguments in my extended family. Years ago I tried to get out of an abusive relationship and was stalked and then kidnapped. He brought me back and stood trial. The jury found him guilty of intimidation?? A yr and a half later, he ran my car of the road and stabbed me and I almost died. At that time I actually felt pity for the first jury. They went with what was presented to them, not what I knew to be true. When the OJ trial came up everyone screamed 'He's Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!!!!'. It was hard for my family to understand that my teenage daughters and I still wanted proof. I'm not sure I understand either, except I still believe in 'innocent until proven guilty'. Someone else could have ran my car off the road that morning, but people were still going to look at the person who stalked me. Someone else could have killed Nichole, but they were sure of OJ. There has to be proof.

Very well put.

When the OJ trial came up everyone screamed 'He's Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!!!!'. When the murders happened my first thought was "no way" did OJ Simpson commit those murders.
After seeing the evidence against him I concluded he did, in fact, do it. Nothing in the intervening years has ever occurred to change my opinion. Just the opposite.
