There is still a lot about this case that does not make any sense. Everyone disses the jury, and If I was on the jury I think I would have been like the foreman.
IF the show was accurate in portraying the jury, then shame on the jury. Taking 4 hours to deliberate? Are you kidding me? And IF this was accurate, some of the jurors were being unreasonable asshats about it and refused to even look at the evidence.
quote:
Do I think that OJ did it? Probably an 80-90% chance that he did. Do I think that the prosecution proved their case? Not at all.
Like I said I can understand the not guilty verdict but I think it's a stretch to say the prosecution didn't prove anything
quote:
The only thing that they proved was that OJ was most likely at the crime scene.
Disagree entirely. The evidence clearly showed foul play.
quote:
Prosecution case hinged on these things:
1. DNA evidence. The defense made this evidence inadmissible by destroying Dennis Fung. Fung actually shakes hands with the OJ and the defense team after getting off the stand. No one really knew what DNA was back in 1995. This is before CSI and DNA evidence became mainstream.
2. The Detective that found the glove lied under oath, was a blatant racist, and pleaded the 5th amendment when asked if he planted evidence in this case.
Calling Fuhrman was a huge mistake, no doubt about that. And Cochran is a POS (a very smart POS) for capitalizing on that. Being 2 years removed from the Rodney King incident, this was a slam dunk for them.
quote:
So everything to do with DNA and Mark Fuhrman is tainted. Did the prosecution ever show the jury a murder weapon with OJ's prints on it?
Did the prosecution ever produce a witness that saw OJ with Ron Goldman and Nicole right before the murders?
Well, this is why we have trials. No one ever knows for sure what happened unless they witnessed it.
quote:
One of the jury members talked about how the prosecutions story did not make any sense to her. The story that Marcia Clark told over and over again was that OJ was a serial wife beater who battered his wife and this led to murder in June of 1994.
Easy for me to say I know, but this sounds like a bull**** excuse by the juror for the acquittal. I think the story makes a lot of sense.
quote:
The evidence presented during the trial showed that the last time that OJ was physical with Nicole was January 1, 1989. That is a 5.5 year gap between that incident and the murder.
Doesn't matter. There was still so much evidence of OJ being violent, angry, and jealous.
quote:
Ron Goldman was a 6-1 200 pound man. If OJ killed two people with a knife then he should have been covered in blood. There should be blood all over his car. On the seats, on the brakes and all over this clothes. The only thing that was found where small blood spots.
There will always be more questions. But I don't buy this reasoning. The evidence is strong that OJ was there. We can say "coulda shoulda woulda" all we want. It also seems like he tried to cover his tracks.
quote:
What happened to the bloody clothes?
Sounds like he got rid of them. Also rumors of Kardashian taking them.
quote:
The LAPD checked out the draining pipes at OJ's house and did not find any blood.
If OJ took a shower to clean up, then there should a lot of blood in his draining pipes. Everything that was found where small, minuscule blood spots.
I don't know the explanation for this.
quote:
These two points where all made during the trial by the defense witness Dr Henry Lee. The television show did not show this happening at all I have a feeling that the television show did not show Dr Henry Lee's testimony because they didn't want to show anything that might make viewers feel that OJ didn't do it.
TV shows always leave out some parts for one reason or another.
quote:
I also think that they wanted to limit the amount of times that the defense team was doing "Real Lawyering" because the race baiting makes for much better television.
I think it was pretty clear that the lawyers were good. And there
was a significant amount of race baiting. Fuhrman, LAPD,
refurbishing OJ's damn house and taking out all the pictures of white people!!!!This whole trial was one massive race bait, and it's how the defense won.
quote:
Why has William Dear convinced me that his son did it?
-OJ Simpson was zeroed in as the suspect within the first hour of the cops finding the murder victims. No other suspect was ever seriously considered by the LAPD.
Jason Simpson was never interviewed by the LAPD.
- The day after the murder OJ hired a big time Los Angeles defense attorney for his son.
-His son was a chef that worked with knives for a living
-Jason Simpson was a walk on football player for USC. Large enough to kill two people with a knife.
- His son was on probation for attacking a previous boss with a knife
- Jason Simpson had gotten into a fight with a previous girlfriend and cut off her hair with a knife
- Jason Simpson had once almost choked an ex girlfriend to death
- He had a long history of depression and rage disorder.
-Nicole Simpson had accused Jason Simpson of stalking her.
Has OJ ever attacked someone with a knife?
His son has attacked multiple people with a knife and worked 10 minutes from the crime scene.
Maybe the son is guilty. Even if all this is true, I think the evidence of OJ's guilt is much stronger.
quote:
Why would OJ do this and ruin his rich and famous life?
Do you all really think that OJ Simpson couldn't get another woman?
Oh please. OJ was known to be incredibly jealous. He probably acted in a fit of rage and wasnt thinking clearly.
quote:
From the books I've read about this case....it was well known that Nicole Simpson got around and had a lot of mail suitors. Apparently....this is what OJ and Nicole used to fight about all the time.
See above comment.
quote:
Why would OJ kill his ex wife with his two kids sleeping upstairs?
See above comment.
quote:
Dear's theory is that Jason Simpson committed the crimes and then called OJ and told him that something happened to Nicole. OJ rushes over to Nicole's house (to also make sure his kids were okay) and stumbles onto this horrific crime scene.
He removes the bloody glove(to protect his son) and some of Ron and Nicoles blood gets on his shoes and socks.
This is how the blood trail gets from the crime scene back to his house.
Maybe the son did it, interesting theory. But I'm not convinced.
quote:
The easy way out is to just believe what TV tells you and that OJ must have did it.....but there is still a lot of things about this case that don't add up.
This is somewhat condescending. I've actually read up on the case extensively, before the series was around. Even still, lots of people involved in the trial have said the show is accurate. Some exaggerations and conversations that may not have happened, but it was accurate. And the show's creators I'm sure did all they could to paint an accurate picture.
The facts aren't on OJ's side. He had a great defense team and the race card was the ultimate trump card here.
