OJ Simpson Juror: Not-Guilty Verdict Was ‘Payback’ for Rodney King
The Wrap ^

Posted on 04/12/2024 4:34:33 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

Trial watchers, sociologists and even FX’s show “People v OJ Simpson” have argued that the jurors in O.J. Simpson’s murder case acquitted him as payback for the Rodney King beating. And in ESPN’s new event series, “O.J.: Made in America,” one juror finally comes out and says it.

(snip)

Interviewer: That was payback.
Bess: Uh-huh.
Interviewer: Do you think that’s right?

At that question, she holds up her hands.

I don't see this particularly as a race thing.

After all, the J6 committee knew what they were pushing was BS, and let people rot in prison without trial in the service of the BS.

The Pharisees whipped up the crowd to shout "free Barrabas"

But the interviewer could have at least been a little tougher and asked: "so you purposely let a man you knew was guilty of murder go free, as 'payback' for a completely unrelated event. How do you live with yourself?"

I resent that these people are sucking up the same good oxygen as the rest of us.

I thought Reginald Denny was “payback” for Rodney “can’t we all just get along” King?

I clearly remember seeing part of an interview of one of the jurors just after the verdict. At one point she mentioned that she had "got deliberated in the back room"...her *exact* words.

She had obviously never been mistaken for a rocket scientist.

If anyone can find it, post the first 11 seconds of the Rodney King video that the media cut which showed King attacking the cop, which started the beating.

Seeing him lunge at the cops throat before the response would have saved a lot of lives.

Mr. Denny was only the down-payment.

And this person was one of OJ’s “peers”? Were ANY of the jurors even remotely “peers” of OJ? Economic status should trump skin color just about every time.

Jury nullification is a dreadful thing to behold.

Those in CA knew that when the trial got moved from Brentwood to the hood, he was going to walk. Who else could be sequestered for 265 days for $20.00/DAY? !

Disgusting that they let a murderer walk.

Finally comes out? I remember having watched that interview years ago and wondering why that woman didn`t go to jail for violating her oath and bending the law.

Democrats have pumped race into the heads of blacks so intensely since the 1950's, it is not surprising that otherwise reasonable black people see nothing wrong with a black killing a white, no matter that she is his wife and the mother of his kids. They cheer when he is not found guilty of an obvious crime of murder......

They are only doing what the democrats trained them to do. This woman, a former OJ juror, proves this point.

That line of thought is racial justice at its best.

The fatal mistake made by the DA’s office early on was to move the criminal trial from Brentwood to downtown LA. No way they were going to get a fair-minded jury, and the outcome was predetermined at that point. The civil trial was held in Brentwood, and a just result was obtained.

Someday up there Ron Goldman and Reginald Denny will have a chat about things I’m sure.

What a crazy time to live in LA.

Anti-white hate is racism.

A billion words cannot change that simple fact.

This is exactly why we can’t coexist.

The juror wants to see payback?

Wait until they stand before God for perverting justice.

Goes along with their ‘we were conversating’ instead of ‘conversing’.

This is EXACTLY why I personally believe that people who agree to sit on juries are born azhos. The one jury I sat on had a moron who didn’t GAS if the guy was guilty or not. He wanted to “send a message” to the local police by saying the guy, who was guilty as hell, was innocent. I had to embarrass the azho in front of the rest of the jurors. Since then, I always work hard to not be chosen for that garbage.
