Except that O.J. at least got an actual trial, with a real judge and jury.

I'm not so sure about the "real" part as applied to the jury. I remember when the verdict was announced, and all channels stopped what they were doing and focused on the reveal. Everyone thought he was guilty, but I remember thinking, "There's a chance that there will be racial justice done here." That was what in fact happened.

Of course, the prosecution bungled it. Who can forget "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit?" What idiot doesn't know that wet leather shrinks? Well, maybe, in sunny California, they had little experience with leather gloves.
