> I thought he did it but I also thought the prosecution didn’t come anywhere close to proving it and I did not understand the rush to trial.
Nonsense! I started off favorably disposed towards Simpson because of his athletic achievements and comic roles in movies. I had lots of free time during that period, though, and watched nearly every minute of the trial. As inept as the prosecution was at times, the fact remains — as Marsha Clark pointed out in the summation — that even the uncontested evidence was far more than needed to convict. Also the evidence that was contested was contested very badly by the so-called Dream Team. I don’t want to get into the details — or take the time to refresh my memory of them — but I could write for hours about what was wrong with the defense’s arguments. They shouldn’t have convinced any unprejudiced person with a grain of sense.
Sorry, ‘Marsha Clark’ should be ‘Marcia Clark’.
