I felt the same way about the OJ trial, when the jury came back after only 4 hours. I assumed he'd be found guilty (as he should have been) and we all were shocked at the verdict.
I think the glove debacle sealed the deal. Cochran’s catchy slogan, “if the gloves don’t fit, you must acquit,” went viral instantly. That’s why I think Todd Blanche’s GLOAT nickname for Cohen was a stroke of pure genius.
