Anyone with a quarter of a brain knew he did it from day one.
That he got off is one of the greatest miscarriages of justice we have ever seen in this country.
And to do that, they had to play the racial card and turn Mark Fuhrman into a virulent racist, which he wasn’t. But they had to destroy him to win the case. Oh well. Too bad for him (as OJ’s defense team would say)
Classic. Just like The Dems do with Trump and others.
Muddy waters. Distract. Obfuscate.
Like you said, anyone with an iota of brain material knew.
That jury knew. They just didn’t give a bleep that two people were killed.
It came down to colour.

Fuhrman might be a decent man today. But back then he was no damn good. He was a racist, or he cynically pretended to be a racist to get out of working. Either way, he was an easy target for the defense. From Wikipedia:
In 1981, Fuhrman requested leave for workers’ compensation. During a psychiatric interview regarding this claim, Fuhrman expressed racist sentiments, stating that he stopped enjoying military service because of alleged insubordination from Mexican-Americans and African-Americans, whom he described as “n*ggers”. Fuhrman received workers’ compensation and remained on paid leave until 1983.

And in the so-called Fuhrman Tapes, Fuhrman talked about how the LAPD planted evidence. Those tapes were played at Simpson’s trial. Maybe Fuhrman was just bragging on those tapes. But again, it made him an easy target for the defense.

(Sorry for the long rant. But it still bothers me that a double murderer was allowed to walk free. Fuhrman deserves a good share of the blame for that happening.)
OJ Simpson: poster child for Black Privilege.
Marsha Clark helped destroy Mark Fuhrman. And the DA’s office blew the case by charging only OJ. He had help. Furhman and his partner found a bloody fingerprint that was never introduced into evidence. If it was OJ’s it’s the first thing the jury would have heard about. In fact, if it had been OJ’s he would have been forced to plea bargain if not outright confess.
Mark fuhrman turned out to be very rich. Best thing to ever happen to him.
In the Mark Fuhrman planted the glove theory, who killed Nicole and why? She was stabbed multiple times and her head almost severed. How did someone else develop that kind of passion against her? Nothing was taken from the house.
