    If people would stop letting thier emotions and other things get in the way they could see things clearly. Imho nothing else I heard make this much sense.

    It's clear to me, too. I think a lot of people don't get past the bloody glove when they reason and they never think of how easily it was found. I mean where did the bloody glove come from? Was it hanging half way out of his pocket when he jumped that fence? Or was it stuck to the bottom of his shoe?

    LOL.. Meanwhile the real killers are still at large.

    People invested so much energy into OJ and let precious time tick by when they could have concentrated on the real killers. Sad I tell you, sad.

    The LA DA's office was wearing so much egg on its face already. You think they're going to admit that they blundered this one, too by going to search for the real killer? They don't want anymore riots.

    Flying, I am officially a fan! That was beautifully and logically put. For years I have said that if he knifed two people, the police would have found a lot more than a speck of blood here and there, and he just didn't have enough time to do it all and get to the airport. I don't think anyone would or has ever argued that he's a nice guy, he's an idiot and a wife beater, but that doesn't make him a murderer. And Merc, I should have known you'd see the logic long ago

    Mary, I respectfully disagree with you in your description of our legal system, and so, by the way, do judges and the supreme court. It is an adversarial system, and the defense attorney MUST do everything legally within their power to get the defendant off, whether that person is guilty or not. That is the American justice system, warts and all. You can say it isn't just, but you can't truthfully say that it's not so. Johnnie did his job, did a great job, and he did it within the confines of the law.

    I wonder if all the people all worked up over OJ felt / feel the same passion over the murder of Latasha Harlin by the Korean grocer. Or, the innocent Mexican immigrants framed by the Rampart Police Dept (or members thereof). Or the fact that the officers who beat Rodney King were originally acquitted. Somehow, I doubt it. Do these same people remember that it was Johnnie Cochran who tried to get a settlement for Reginald Denny after he was beaten in the LA riots? Or doesn't that matter? Hm, wonder why?

    Thank you. I hear so many people, even people like Jay Leno joke about OJ like he was prosecuted for the crime instead of acquitted. I always wonder, "Where were they when the trial was going on? What evidence did they hear that I didn't?" I still wonder why the drug dealers who menaced Nicole's friend were never questioned or looked into.

    People are very naive about law enforcement and the fact that they plant evidence and frame people all of the time. The LA DA office did have motive to plant evidence on OJ. I wonder if the head DA won or lost the election that was held after the OJ trial was over. And I am not really so sure Vince Bugliosi was so brilliant. If the one Manson family girl, I forget her name off hand, hadn't blabbed her mouth in jail and bragged about the Tate murders; and if Linda Caspian had been too afraid to confess and witness for the prosecution, it's very possible that Manson would not have been caught. When you have reliable eye witnesses and you can collaborate their stories, it's much easier to get a conviction in a murder trial.

    I took the opposite side and thought the same thing about those who thought him innocent. Never have I been so convinced by a prosecution team, they proved it beyond a reasonable doubt in my eyes but of course it all depended on the jury, even the jury seemed manufactured in this case since they kept sacking and replacing them.

    We can all disagree and share our opinions, imo OJ is guilty and I watched the trial everyday religiously. I had no bias when I first tuned in since I didnt even know who he was. Its just my opinion, but guilty as sin.

    Could be, Brum Brums but the glove still did not fit. Leave it up to the idiot that planted it not to find out what size OJ wore first.

    It was a good catch phrase. The defence were very good at their jobs, I'd certainly hire them if I were in trouble, the suriving ones anyway.
