Bob Costas on OJ Simpson’s death: ‘Complicated legacy’ 

Exactly. From the day he was acquitted, O.J. Simpson spent most of his time acting like a first class jerk. If he had lived anywhere but in L.A. he would have been dealt with. L.A. turns everything into a big, stupid circus and O.J.s smarmy legal team took full advantage. As for O.J. good riddance!

Word up

That’s awesome lol you are right though. He was trash. Good riddance

😝

Thr killERS died at the same time as OJ. That's amazing

RIH OJ Simpson

Oj can no longer search for the real killer. Who will find them now?

because with the comment i wrote on this video i said good riddance with that beast.

RIP Trayvon Martin, that's all.

​@@bobojeda4895 sure buddy, I'm sure you're outraged when this happens to "others" too, right? 🙃

@@IknowMoreThanYou Who is that? im not being a jerk i honestly dont know

JUICE, if it wasn't for you there wouldn't have been no Nicole or Ron. Ya'll three collaborate and RIP, that's all.

Almost like it acknowledges the system got it wrong, and opens door saying, well how many other times has this happend that the world wasn't watching on tv? Besides fact if you have the money for defense, innocent and guilt dont matter..Costas I thought laid it out very balanced and ended with, noone else could have done this it was a violent killing, meaning emotion-rage involved, not a simple mugging gone wrong. Also there had been domestic abuse calls by Nicole to the house before hand that media never brings up when covering the story, on top of in the bronco that day besides a gun, he had thousands in cash, a disguise, makeup,clothes and his passport. If was truly suicidal, it leans more towards guilt/realization he cant get away and now faced with life in prison. Also the glove moment we all remember, all experts said was the stupidest decisions to ever do and are multiple reasons why leather gloves wouldnt fit after not worn for a time, on top of he is controlling how to put on. ...also, how'd that devoting his life to find the "real" killer go?

Tip-toes !

How do you know he’s a murderer? He was acquitted.

​@@IWannaUnaliveMyself Rich Privledge! 🤡

@@IWannaUnaliveMyself the real killer left footprints of size 12 Bruno Magli shoes. OJ owned size 12 Bruno Magli shoes.

Not at all !

Whether you’re bothered by the acquittal or celebrate it, it’s worth remembering that his life after the trial was miserable compared to his life before it.

For the rest of their lives. Nightmares. 😳

No amount of therapy can ever straighten them out unfortunately.

No such thing. Sorry to disappoint you.

@@ALOMACHO We shall all see it one day. No apologizes, you didn't disappoint me.

The Real Judgment Day is in Kingdom of God.

@@michaelatkinson6730 you’re just coping and in denial because of a trial many perceived was unjust. Being at the hands of the Almighty is a poor excuse for arguing about the merits of the case. The verdict was the correct one. NOT GUILTY.

@@ALOMACHO It don't matter. The killer is dead now.

The gloves fit....they were in his house with RONALD GOLDMANS BLOOD ON IT !!!

i've done that many times...the gloves always fit....makes no difference if they fit they fit

Plus the Gloves had declined & probably Shrunk in the Time Span before they brought them in Court; But Dumb Darden fell for Cochran's Bait, knowing they didn't Fit, and in Darden's case, he committed a Cardinal Sin of: Asking a Question You Don't Know The Answer to, or aren't sure of. Biggest Mistake of the Trial; Case was Over after that.

He owed over $100 million still in civil judgement from 1996. After interest and penalties. There would be nothing left over from an estate sale.

What about his kids Nicole's kids BTW?

@@sammatthew7179 Their dad was a murderer

@@sammatthew7179 They’ll have to live their whole lives knowing their father brutally killed their mother & an innocent man. They are suffering for their father’s crime.

Those kids should get the money and split it with the Goldmans

media still milking the clicks and $$--they all got rich of him

Think what?

Best Comment! Thanks!

NEGATIVE; He had Two lives w/ the 2nd, where he & his Ego Royally Messed up, tarnished the Accomplishments on his 1st; Doesn't completely erase it; He's not the 1st Guilty Person who walked Free or had a Split-Persona, & he won't be the Last; He;s just the Most Famous one; And unless Le Bron or Tom Brady or any current Superstar does the same thing, He'll hold that Infamous Crown There's Murderers walking around Not named OJ as I Text

@@csracingreport2024 Very true. There ARE murderers walking around not named OJ. But no one is attempting to cover for them like Bob Costas is doing here. Disgusting.

He was found not guilty sir

@@csracingreport2024 a football player has no accomplishments, they're playing a game, it contributes nothing to society or civilization, it's a stupid game, he's not caring cancer

Miami might have had oranges, but Buffalo had the juice babyyyy!!!!!

Precisely. I cringed when he said that.

Bingo !

OJ never hung out with Bob.

Bob knew the persona of OJ. Nicole knew the person of OJ. Huge difference.

Where's your proof?

The sock...not the glove, the sock acquitted OJ

Rest in peace oj simpson

He was also a legendary football player so yes it’s not as easy as you’re having it to be 😊😊

A jealous savage murderer, no more evidence ever existed.

Actually it’s an accurate take

He wasn’t one of the best nfl player of all time?

Costas is making sure we don’t forget that OJ was a good football player. Yeah he killed two people, but don’t forget he did play football.

@@ronthompson95 He was really very good at American style football (as poorly named as that sport is). He knifed his way through NFL defences with those cutting and slashing runs of his.

@@vangroover1903 I like how you took a stab at that one. Well said.

And if he did he got away with it so on behalf of OJ 🖕🏿🫵🏿 too

It's "complicated" because OJ had a career and was liked well before the murder and to acknowledge he was actually an American figure (notice the "was")

@noraved Aren't you sweet :) Have a nice weekend

@@williamkelly8026 Just a bot, nobody is that stupid

You can both murder 2 people and still have your life considered complicated. That isn't an impossibility. What exactly are you taking issue with?

The murderer is now dead.

Juice has expired 😕 6 7 94

Been sour for 30 years.

LOL. The juice won't get loose again.

I feel the same way about George Killerman.

Yeah, look up the race make - up of the jury, he was never going to get convicted.

Who is that?

I agree 100%. You took the words right out of my mouth.

After seeing the make up of the jury, i knew he would never get convicted.

He was full of it! The guy was your friend....we don't need a History lesson dude....get kn with it

@@frankesposito2182 So what? The truth is OJ was a liar, murderer, thief and abuser who deprived his children of their mother. Costas said it correctly, OJ was a flawed man, period.

Eloquent, nay; more like circumlocution to excuse a double murderer.

I personally feel OJ killed them, and was bad for doing that, but he did run for 273 yards in a single game against the Lions as well.

The truth is ...only God is the Ultimate Judge; Some things are revealed...some things are reserved for Judgement Day. Celebrities and Ordinary Folks will give an account of their lives before Almighty God.😮

Not if he was acquitted of all charges which he was 😂.

Do you even understand the word "complicated"? A nuclear reactor explosion is complicated when you tell the whole story, but I guess according to you it would be "just pressure building up and then Kaboom and Kabam!"

@@terri6854😂 exactly. It’s a complicated and uniquely American story. It just is. 🤷‍♀️

@@frankmathewsJuries sometimes get it wrong. This was one of those times.

​@@frankmathews Thanks for explaining why nobody believes you when you cry about police and racism. You probably lie about that too I assume.

Yep, well said.

Did he. Where was the overwhelming proof he killed those people. I was too young to pay attention to the case but if that case had to be tried today with all the same evidence OJ would will 1000% of the times. The media and people like bob can have their opinion but all the evidence presented was not enough to convict him. OJ did not win because of race relations, or because he was famous or not just because the glove didn’t fit, it was way more than that.

hair dye was on point, no doubt

I remember Arnold Palmer

Yup-you can't let all this other nonsense-Race, Celebrity etc. be more important than it was a double murder and OJ's actions afterwards and true history scream guilt!

It was a all black jury

when are you racists going to stop persecuting a innocent black man? he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers 2 words: NOT GUILTY

@@darronpearson7340 "an" all black jury. If the indefinite article preceds a word beginning with a vowel it's "an".

​@darronpearson7340 that means REAL justice was served😁

@@CARLITOSTHEMAN7 The real racists are the ones who say OJ was innocent. He was a murderer. Deal.

guthrie is an empty headed chatterbox without any sense of basic logic

I don’t like her either …

Jealousy and rage and he ended up murdering two innocent people. And the one was the mother of two of his children!

But, he was an abuser long before the murders took place, starting with his first wife who suffered the blows from him, and certainly with Nicole who is on 911 calls multiple times due to his violence. Let's not try to whitewash him as though he has some redeeming qualities in spite of being a murderer and a routine abuser of women. So...this nice guy image was just a facade he seemed to use to gain certain favors. You can see it in his face the real monster that lurked behind it.

His single game rushing record of 273 yards is still #6 all time, but I don't feel that makes up for killing those people.

I agree…he was a total monster. I’m just saying that he had no reason to be, because he was handsome and talented. Nevertheless, he was, which is just saddening because he had everything going for him.

When you really think about it, R. Kelly and Bill Cosby have the same issue. Self entitlement and arrogance. They are paying for their crimes (even though Bill was released on a technicality); OJ's caught him at least halfway when he was convicted of the Las Vegas robbery, especially after believing he'd get away with that too.

Are Nicole’s & Ron Goldman ‘s parents still alive ?

​@cindymaceda2999 the dad of Ron Goldman put out a statement after OJs death.

They're talking about O.J. in this compartmentalized segment.

@@cindymaceda2999Nicole’s parents are both gone. Ron’s parents are still alive though

He rushed for 11,000 yards.........

@@vangroover1903 lol

He murdered no one !

@@cicid.3897 LOL

@@vangroover1903before or after he murdered Nicole and Ron

and it takes a black man getting acquitted to finally come to this conclusion,,,,,

@@donovans6472 What is interesting is that O.J. was probably one of the whitest black men you could imagine. He was a mega-star on the field and beloved in Hoillywood. When the murders happened, most everyone was shocked that he could be involved. When his dirty laundry in life started to be exposed in the trial he lost a lot of support from the public. Of course a white cop lying on the stand didn't help the prosecution. Nevertheless, and more importantly, O.J.'s color in the flesh has now been removed, and his sins in total (whatever they are) are either forgiven by God or they are not

I doubt things were very dry after all that cutting he did.

Was not !

Exactly

All black jury

​@@cicid.3897Yes he was.

Literally means nothing

A Columbian drug lord's children may love him, but it counts for nothing in the totality of the man.

You act like you know his children 😂😂😂

You know them well to make this statement? They have had trouble in their lives. Wonder why?

I'm sure Ted Bundy's children love him too.

R I.P. OJ & Johnnie Cochran !

I wouldn’t call letting a murderer walk free winning.

@@frankesposito2182 News flash...the second trial wasn't for murder, and didn't include the "dream team" !

Dumb jury.

Yeah, but Johnny ain't getting OJ off the hook this time.

Yes indeed. It was refreshing

He certainly knows how to trivialise the legacy of a brutal murderer that also happened to be really good at American football. I watched him rush for 273 yards against the Lions and I still think killing those poor people was wrong and bad and stupid and he shouldnt have done it.

He's woke and stupid these days. Used to like him but not anymore. He says whatever will get applause or a pat on the back from media.

He wasn't trivializing anything.. he has spoken out against oj and said he did it many times

@@kendallandrews8691 That was ever so brave of him. Truly a legend of wishy washing.

Actually, it's not Much Better @ All, since SADDAM HUSSEIN was Executed, or w/ OJ's passing despite his Shortcoming, and the Fact Murderers Not Named OJ Simpson are walking around on this planet Today.

And a safer place

The victims blonde dude was in his house !!!

you know what else is also rare ...a shoe print expert, i wonder how many shoe print experts there are in the world....i'm sure i could classify myself as that in about a weeks time...i would just have to start collecting shoes that people throw....just put an ad in the paper requesting people's shoes that they no longer use..

@@Daniel-sh3os apparently I am good at thinking... I'm good at remembering too... I remember during that trial comedians would be cracking jokes about there being so many different kind of experts in this is case.....

The kind of guy Costas loves.

True, but in saying that the Judge had an Agenda to Nail OJ after beating a Double Murder Rap, and Lied about the fact it wasn't Personal, when everyone Including a Blind Man like STEVIE WONDER, could see that it was, and in a sense, she was being equally if not more Ignorant & Arrogant. But w/ the Negative Court of Public Opinion about OJ Including hers, she not only felt obligated to get her Legal & Revengeful "Rocks Off "but it was her Duty to get OJ's buddies to Flip and Convict him; As Bad as OJ was, he had a sorry Lawyer that was too Ignorant in his own right to realize or act on it. No way a Good Attorney allows him 2 get Strung-Up for 9 Years if people look @ it Logically, versus Emotionally: But to Your Point, OJ was Stupid to Ignore the Fact he needed to be more Careful w/ the Company he kept, Realize he was fortunate to be Acquitted, & understand as a Guilty Man who went Free, he was a Polarizing Public Enemy #1

Are you saying you don’t think they were guilty….?

@@Hmy8799 when they were found not guilty people said that but those same people don't have the same energy for OJ

You’re comparing two totally different cases where people were attacked and the victims responded in self defense! This has zero comparison to OJ who premeditated the butchering of two people and OJ was found guilty in civil court! Good grief educate yourself in the rights of self defense and the defenseless!

Exactly !

Facts lead you to the truth not race facts lead you to evidence and truth not idotry

because he thinks he's God like so many other of these media folks. the man was found not guilty so i really think these people unless they seen him commit the murders should just shut up... as a journalists just give us the facts which is that he was found not guilty... people are easily influenced by people of the media so he needs to do his job properly instead of spreading propaganda about o.j being the killer.... if it was so obvious that o.j was the killer why did mark fuhrman take the fifth when asked about planting evidence. why is there need to plant evidence on somebody that is obviously guilty.... i don't know if mark fuhrman planted evidence or not but if he pleaded the fifth on that question i'm going to assume yes he did.

As Bob said, both the circumstantial and physical evidence against Simpson were very strong and extensive, and the defense never presented any real alibi for Simpson or alternatives that would raise reasonable doubt. As Costas said, just because Fuhrman was a racist and the LAPD officers had been acquitted in the Rodney King beating case didn't make Simpson any less guilty. Have you read up on the extensive spousal abuse that OJ had committed against Nicole for years or the many threats on her life that he had issued? Plus, the physical evidence against OJ was everywhere...

NEGATIVE; People haven't Forgotten; The Book the Goldmans seized from OJ; It sits on my Table as I Type; As a matter of Fact when the whole thing broke out & showed Ron Goldman's Photo, I said, He was on "STUDS", which was a late-night Dating Show @ the Time; He was Good Cool Cali Personality, so it hit right then & there; I was a big OJ Fan, and like everyone, didn't think he was Involved; But to Your Point the Jury was pre-disposed to Acquit OJ. They didn't like him, but they also Didn't like Nicole. that was a big factor as well

You mean alleged.

Also a great football players so yes it is😊

30 years ago totally different, it’s like in Minnesota in 2020 but the opposite, Derek Chavin was never gonna get off, why get felons or people who are arrested be on a jury, juries are very complicated, if Trump was in Alabama he’d be found not guilty, but if he’s in DC or NYC he’s guilty 11 of the 12 jurors were black people forget that and if you lived in LA at the time you understand

@@lesliebell4189 shuuuuut UPPPPPP learn about everything AFTER the screwy trial and see if you still think it’s only “alleged”

@@Hmy8799 It dominated corporate media for nearly three years and it shaped race, gender, policing and our political systems today. This was more of a shoot interview with Bob Costas. Costas did not want to bury anyone, not even Simpson. I was a teenager at the time and I felt that he would walk. Corporate media should be ashamed of themselves.

This story tells otherwise. It is complicated, and his story is unique. It’s neither here nor there; it just is.

He was abusive w/1st wife too

I feel so bad for the killed with Nicole crazy exs are something women should warn their new lover about. He probably had no idea.

@@ajohonly3721 can you possibly word this in a different way? I don’t understand, but am interested

Why ? He didn't do it !

Wow just wow….murder has been legal in the US prior to this case. Go figure.

He would not hold onto filth

Didn't you listen to what Bob said, Gary Wilson?! People just don't listen anymore!

My prayer is that God judges him appropriately.

Why do you hope that? If he did, what repercussion did he suffer for two murders?

And both had/have so much money to pay lawyers to come up with elaborate defenses.

The jury has said the verdict was payback for Rodney King. Google it.
