Yes, a juror really did give Simpson the raised fist as he left the courtroom.

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

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