Not the same thing after all. In OJ, there was first and foremost jury nullification. Marcia Clark picked WRONG. The minority jurors decided early on that if the rich white man can get away with all his crimes, it's the black man's turn now. I am not sure how many were even listening to the evidence testimony.
Second, those who were listening to the evidence testimony, which was exceedingly damning (DNA and blood evidence), must have been fed up with the thoroughness of the experts, and come to the conclusion that it was all a bunch of science mumbo jumbo.
Third, you need a court jester defense team who will spout rhymes and over-the-top displays to emotionally connect with above-mentioned moronic jurors.
Fourth, you need a witness or cop who will perjure himself in court over a racial slur which could be perceived as being against the defendant, and he should be the one who has found a crucial piece of evidence.
Fifth, it would be nice to have a camera-crazy judge who loves every second of his televised trial, and can be heard wisecracking with the defense counsel from behind a clock-covered bench...
I don't think Geragos is quite up to that. All he has done so far is to try and plant doubt in potential jurors' minds with such outlandish stories that the doubt may end up being whether Geragos is sane.
