Things would have been different for OJ, had one black been replaced on his jury.

Sad but true!

Exactly. The OJ Jury provided the most visible jury nullification action in US history. But we must ask why the OJ Jury let him walk?

Was it because they were racist, uneducated or that the prosecution presented the case poorly?

I would think each of the above factors contributed to the OJ verdict but did the OJ jury also think of the Rodney King verdict (which was a sound verdict) or recall cases of blacks being killed by whites in the South in the 1960's without being convicted?
