He said it best, he cared too much and people like me admire you for that Chris. You are a great guy. Just know there are some jerks out here that might say dumb stuff but alot of people think your a stand up guy.
I have much respect for Chris Darden and maybe a slight crush now too after hearing him say this: 18:55 . He was the only man in that courtroom with integrity.
My heart goes out to Darden. But they always say the student can’t fuck with the teacher, and it painfully showed throughout the trial. Darden was playing checkers just going after OJ. Cochran was playin chess by going after the system.
@@schakiarligonde1736 Simpson 💯 DID DO IT, dont fool yourself. Read "Triumph of Justice" or just watch Simpsons civil deposition, simpson is a pathological liar. His stories are complete b.s.
If u have ever heard those jurors talk they are just not bright. They also had no heart. To see those crime photos & not be angry about the murders but instead listen to johnny who is not a good lawyer he reminds me of a charlatan preacher he actually said to them it's not about the murders but sending a message. So those dopes on the jury wanted to give pay back. One juror in the oj made in america admitted it was payback for rodney king & 90 percent of the jurors felt that way. She admitted it. The interviewer was stunned asking " but is that right " & she smugly shrugged. The fact that all the black people everywhere got up and partied cheering like at a football game was ghoulish 2 people were brutally butchered. I wonder how theyd feel if it was their brother or sister or son or daughter. Sad sad case. It was an in your face white people & the irony is oj wanted nothing to do hos whole career life with black people. " I'm not black I'm oj"
dave m yes...they are. Because Garnett is a raging racist. Has a bias of low expectations of themselves because they’re black, and thinks they can’t be racist. Black people can be the most racist people of these times. And, they believe it’s fine.....because they think the white man is above them. How sad is that? To believe that you can be racist because “we have no power”? Ridiculous. Racism is racism, regardless of color.
Pommie bears So when the three white men get off for killing ahmaud arbery for no reason, will u be as outraged as u are about oj getting off? We gotta protest and sign petitions with national media coverage just for an arrest to be made 3 months later AND IT WAS ON TAPE! They got oj asap! U don’t give two flying fucks about us never receiving justice and that’s fine. Just be upfront about it 🤷🏾♂️
He lost only because from the beginning that trial and jury already made a decision that it was setup for OJ Simpson too win the case and I wonder if some of those jurors feel sometimes if they made the right decision because OJ had every motive too kill Nicole and Ron since that day of June 12,1994 after their children’s recital OJ asked Nicole if she and the kids could get together too have dinner and Nicole turned him down earlier that day right so that made him angry and after Nicole and her family spent dinner together at that restaurant where Ron Goldman worked at,then after they finished dinner everybody went their separate ways,well I mean almost everybody because Nicole dropped her mom off at her house and I believe her sister had Nicole’s kids in her car but later on she dropped them off and a few minutes later from her house Nicole calls that restaurant too see if her mom’s glasses were left at that restaurant talking too that girl and that girl found them outside of the restaurant so she told Nicole yes and wanted too speak too Ron Goldman and asked him if he could dropped them off too her house so he said yes but before he went too her house since he lived very close too his apartment he would go change and then go so that’s what he did but he borrowed a friends car and went over there so he knocked just too remind you all,OJ was already there in his Bronco which he was stalking Nicole by watching who goes too her house in the back of the driveway and he went in the front yard around the back when he saw Ron Goldman oh by the way OJ was with his friend Charlie and oh by the way who would be stupid enough too go with a man who is ready too commit murder on his own wife and someone else and my answer is I’m not going with him because after he kills them too then you might be next right,so back too the story OJ goes up too Ron aggravated and aggressively,tells who the hell are you which Ron decides too answer him look,I’m just here too give Nicole her mom’s glasses since she left them at the restaurant I work at,so a reminder remember Nicole turned him down earlier in that day and OJ at that point kept getting more and more angrier because he thought Ron Goldman was lying too him and Ron was there more than just dropping Nicole’s mom’s glasses off too because for one it was late 10 something at the time and two it was very dark and three their kids were already asleep and I am pretty sure getting ready for school the next day and that is all OJ needed too get triggered and just snap so words were already exchange between Ron Goldman and OJ Simpson and that is when they were arguing so loud that Nicole heard from inside her house and she came out and the first person she saw was OJ Simpson and he asked her who was that and then she went off and started arguing with OJ so then that’s when he hit her unconsciously on the top of her head and they started fighting for a bit until OJ took out multiple knives and that is when Ron Goldman told him hey hey hey three times and OJ just started stabbing him forcefully then went back too Nicole picked her up from behind and probably told her something like this but whispering in her ear saying your going too die b$!?& and if I can’t have you nobody will and slit her throat like they said from one ear too the other ear and all the way down too her spine in the front of her chest so she didn’t even suffer but died instantly and supposedly OJ claims he grabbed the knife out of his friends Charlie’s hands and then he blacked out and doesn’t remember anything and when he came back too reality all he saw was so much blood where Nicole’s lifeless body was and Ron Goldman a few feet away from her,so OJ should have known from that point on he would be the primary suspect since he use too hit Nicole when they we’re married all of those years and if there was a called friend of his named Charlie why wasn’t he never on trial and where did he disappear since he would have been the main witness and saw it all right,but it goes back too what I said who would be stupid enough to go with a killer and go down with them for capital murder right,so my guess is there was no Charlie at all and it was OJ’s split personality that came out and killed them both,so believe he had an alter ego and the sad part is they got killed for nothing over OJ’s jealousy and obsession,both of their families lost people they truly loved and ever since that day their families lives haven’t been the same
The more you think about it, the worse the glove incident seems. Darden shouldn’t double down on his decision, it was just horrible. Let the jury imagine they fit. Don’t let OJ control it. OJ was also an actor, that’s such a bad risk all around, he was used to hamming it up for the cameras.
sterling k. brown really did a phenomenal job capturing chris's voice and how he talks, ive never heard chips darden talk until now and sterling got his voice down
This dude is corny. I am black, and I actually passed my bar two months before this trial ended. He takes no responsibility for his incompetence as a trial lawyer. Those “wins” they mentioned in murder cases could come due to plea bargains (which counts as a win against your success rate). Our teacher specifically pointed Darden out as exactly NOT how to become a trial lawyer. You never show disappointment . You never show frustration. You never belittle the jury. You never become emotional. And, the most important thing, you NEVER let the other lawyers tactics take away from what you’re trying to get accomplished. Now, that I’m an experienced and successful lawyer, my teacher was correct. Darden seemed unprepared, lacked confidence, or research, and unfamiliar with whom he was going against. You truly can work for someone for years, and no know how they operate to a degree. Darden made this case person in the wrong way. He made it personal against Cochoran. Educated blacks don’t think Darden is a “sellout” because he tried the case. We think he is a sellout for the things be he said afterwards. Generally debunking there is racism in the LAPD, his specifics lack of ownership to the mistakes he made in the case, and his refusal to acknowledge the system is was biased well before the OJ case. And, I’ll add most blacks think OJ did it, but in the court of law, you must prove guilt BEYOND a reasonable doubt. The prosecution, in particular Darden, truly failed to do that. With that being said, the prosecution failed to do that because of the LAPD. When you have an organization such as the LAPD with a deep history of racism and corruption who decide to not follow protocol at each step of the crime scene, you get reasonable doubt. Every single member of the LAOD at both crime scenes made SEVERAL mistakes. Not one mistake, several mistakes. And, under oath, they ALL admitted to these mistakes. Take Fuhrman out of it. Detective Lang, Vannettwr, and the the others up to and including the criminologists, all admitted under oath they made several mistakes AND conducted business out of their norm. So this dude can blame the defense tactics. He can blame the judge. He can blame the jurors. They all did their jobs. Unfortunately, you lost the case the moment the LAPD didn’t follow protocol. That’s who he should blame, and that’s why I’m some eyes of black people, he is considered a sellout!!!
Yes the prosecution was weak at times but I respect Chris and Marcia for trying to serve justice for Nicole and Ron. The jury were delusional when it came to a lot of facts that clearly pointed to OJ being guilty.
The jury were so stupid, they thought Fuhrman, who was with another cop in the same car by the way, snuck the glove onto OJ's property not knowing if OJ or anybody for that matter was even there? Fuhrman sure would have looked stupid if he dropped the glove and security lights would have come on 30 friends and family members would have all come outside and asked what he was doing. Jeez. So many simple questions the jury didn't even think about or just didn't care.
Chris is a good, honest man. I sincerely believe that. But he was a weak presence in that courtroom, spoke too softly and too slowly, he was not as dynamic presence as Cochran or Clarke.
Does anybody have larry king interviews besides Cochran and Shapiro oct 95 interviews on here from the trial? Any of clark, Cowlings, lange, fuhrman, kardashian at all???

No they don't. In the documentary 'OJ Made In America' produced for the case's 25th anniversary, one juror actually said she was going to vote guilty no matter what because it was revenge against the LAPD for the Rodney King verdict. And when asked if she felt guilty about it she said not at all and that she'd do it again Another juror had been a black panther in the 60's and when the verdict was read he raised his fist in the black power gesture.
@@damaris601 I was just giving an example. There were many other jurors that felt the same way as the ones I already mentioned. I've read/watched other interviews/documentaries about the case, where a couple other jurors, different from the woman&man I already mentioned, expressed the same opinions. So it was a lot more than the two I mentioned. Stop being petty
Some have indeed apologised for the verdict, including Lionel Cryer, who did the salute. He said if he had the chance again, he'd render a guilty verdict. Yolanda Crawford came close to admitting she was wrong on the Meredith Veira show. Marsha Rubin-Jackson apologised to Denise Brown for calling the DV a waste of time. Carrie Bess, who blamed Nicole for being abused and killed and called the verdict payback for Rodney King; Brenda Moran, who called the DV a waste of time; and Beatrice Wilson, who called the DNA a waste of time, they're all racist pieces of shit.
The sad thing for Darden was he wasn't brought in unto prosecutor Hodgman faked some kind of illness that was never explained, that gave Darden the opportunity to co defend with Ms Clark the leading prosecutor. They needed a Black prosecutor who eventually became the fall guy for losing this case. It's sad that they hung Darden out to dry he was the weakest prosecutor on the team. Christopher Darden would live to regret his participation in this case, because he believed in the law and the law turned on him. It's so sad that Darden couldn't see that he was the original race card set up by the District Attorney's Office and the prosecution team to get a conviction of OJ Simpson. Darden was unable to see what happens when Racism is used to cover up police activities in this case. Blinded by the reality of who he is, and what the Justice system was in that case made him the fall guy for things he had no control over. Instead of putting on a murder case Darden's entire closing arguments were a domestic violence case against OJ Simpson. When a police officer is caught on tape and still giving interviews to a writer whose been corresponding with Mark Fuhrman for more then ten years and he says on a tape recording that he would plant evidence on a Black man; you don't write that off as just something not to be serious about. Forget about the racial epithets, because white Americans have given every known racial group in America some kind of derogatory name to describe their cultural heritage, even within their own caucasian race. So I don't think that calling Black African Americans N!&&@....ers would make an officer plead the fifth amendment in a murder case unless there was more evidence against Mark Fuhrman that could be proven that he planted evidence. No white law enforcement officers in history of law enforcement in America would be charged with anything for using racial epithets to describe a Black man woman or child. Not once does Ms Walter's bring up the question to Christopher Darden about what Mark Fuhrman said on that tape, that he would plant evidence on a Black person to get an arrest. It's obvious why they brought Darden on the show and not Ms Clark. Darden wasn't willing to Judge the conduct of the police officers involved in this case, because he too is a law enforcement officer of the court he's a prosecutor with a badge and a gun a sworn officer of the court. He works for the State!!! Ms Walter's was more concerned about weather or not did Christopher Darden and Ms Clark had a sexual romance going on. Just look at how many times she asks him about it. And still most white Americans don't think its about Racism; if not why is Ms Walter's so concerned about a interracial relationship between Ms Clark and Christopher Darden? Those are the same kind of taboos that made the OJ trial so entertaining all those women he was sleeping with. This trial was never about Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, but more about the behavior of Orenthal James Simpson.... Had they listened to Allan Park's testimony instead of playing around with stupid law enforcement officers who's stories weren't matching up they chose to defend the latter and paid the price for it instead of defending Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, they ended up defending the police...... a lost cause.
If jurors verdict not quilty of O.J Simpson trial " Why O.J blood on the crime scene of nicole brown and Ron blood in his bronco car " please to all the peoples in this world explain???????
Mark Furhman the lead detective found the glove, he found the blood. A detective that lied under oath about using the N word. ( he was later convicted for perjury) had audio tapes of him using that word. Had witness saying the best N--r is a dead one. Then when when the defense asked him if he planted the glove or any evidence, he did not say no, he pleaded the fifth. I’m sorry, a racist detective that can’t answer if he planet evidence causes reasonable doubt.
This dude stuffed up the case, putting the final nail in the coffin when going against his own partner's advice not to allow OJ to fit on the glove. He was literally whining & moaning, conceding defeat from the very beginning...even going as far as criticising the jurors he was supposed to be trying to win over! Cochran made Darden look like a schoolboy!
Listen a big problem with the prosecution was that they had no leadership…. There was nobody to gather the troops and put this thing in play or that thing #2 In terms of a team a cardinal sin is to ditch your team in the middle of the trial…. Marcia Clark gave Darden the cold shoulder and they stopped answering telephone calls from Mark Furhman and basically kicked him off the case It doesn’t matter how bad things get, under no circumstances should you ever ditch your teammates mid trial and if your gonna ditch your teammate wait to the trial is over… If im in the NBA or NFL or MLB and there’s an issue with one of my teammates… I can’t kick him off my team in the middle of the game…. In essence what your doing is confirming to the other team that whatever they did to impeach the teammate or discredit him your confirming it when you kick him off the team If that happens the the Prosecution and the Defense minds well be on the same team in that case
C .Darden says the gloves " did " fit . But in reality one could clearly see that they did NOT fit . Even he himself said that O.J. wearing latex gloves underneath was a contributing factor along with shrinkage from being blood soaked . As to whether or not O.J. is guilty or innocent , the evidence points to him being Guilty as sin . And yet when asked did he plant or manufacture evidence in this case , Det. Mark Furman pleads the 5th. Amendment rather than answer yes or no . Because in pleading the 5th. it makes it look as tho you have something to "HIDE" . Things that make you go ;hmmmm😒 .
@@Eastvanucks If you're suggesting that this Specific brand of gloves was in fact worn by O.J. which means that the original murder scene gloves were in fact his , well that may be the case .... but if the jury was not allowed to see this , then you would have to blame the prosecution and or the judge for "that". It seems to me that the prosecution would have stressed that they be allowed to show the jury that these brand of gloves were in fact used by the defendant . For them NOT to stress this point , would show incompetence on the part of the prosecution .
Bet you anything Marcia and Darden were romantic because otherwise why wouldn’t they both just say no we weren’t .If they were truthful and said yes we had an affair ,they would’ve been accused of this being the distraction that ruined the case
So much respect for Mr Durdan here. Straight forward and to the point. No apologies and takes the hit for the team. What a man , I hope to be just a fraction of the man he is .
You WILL be, if you’re not already…THAT man! OJ’s true judgement day, nearly 30 years later, is here! His life beyond the “not guilty” verdict was that of a coward, not one of honor and courage. His gloating was disgusting and life, that his ego allowed him, at the time, to envision, wasn’t peaches and cream. He further became a criminal, beyond the murders and, over time, contrary to what he thought, his conscience ate him up! He died a VERY BROKEN man!!
I know, I read about it, and to this day, I am so sorry for all African-Americans who saw the truth and knew that mf was guilty, but who suffered because of an army of sheep. They didn't deserve it. Just like with genuine female DV victims who will have to fight harder to be believed just because of Amber Heard's lies. THIS is Johnnie Cochran and OJ Simpson's real legacy, more racial division, and I hope more and more African-Americans like you will see it.
No, you do not understand the fifth amendment. Fuhrman did not want to risk perjury charges. He had no choice. The judge should never even allowed the question to be asked in the first place.
@@jeffzest8393 Exactly. Ito shouldn't have allowed race because it was irrelevant. But even so, when Fuhrman was asked if he used the word, he should have told the truth, and taken it as an opportunity to apologise to the African-American community there and then, and demand that Bailey do the same for using the actual word on national television and angrily accuse him of racial insensitivity. He would come off as a matured, honest cop, he would humiliate Bailey at the same time, the jury would possibly admire him for standing up for blacks, and then no need for any tapes to prove him wrong. Problem solved. Thats what Vincent Bugliosi said he would have done had he done the case.
You hear a police officer say that he never used the word bigger then they play a tape of him say bigger 42 times and you say Johnny Cochran played the race card white people are funny as hell
Garnett Taylor you’re right. He definitely did say that terrible slur. They asked “within the last ten years, have you referred to Black people as biggers?” Those tapes were from nine years previous to that. I believe Furhman was a raging racist, but something changed. He saved a black guy from a life sentence for murder of a white man by finding the real killer. Erique Harris was the black guys name. Why the prosecution didn’t call him to testify is beyond me. But....ultimately you’re right. Furhman did say those things 42 times. And, there’s no excuses.
You can see and tell that Darden was extremely hurt by the outcome and felt like l he failed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. Your fault for putting a racist cop caught up in his lies on the witness stand. Fred Goldman should do something about that mustache.
It was Ito's fault for allowing irrelevant questions to be asked. He might as well have let Bailey ask Fuhrman if he'd ever cheated on a girlfriend. If that was the rule, then there would be no convictions at all today. Just get the cop to lie about something irrelevant so it creates reasonable doubt. Whats next? Ask a cop who arrested a lesbian if he's ever used the word "dyke"? Ask a cop who arrested an Nike collector if he hates Michael Jordan? Gimme a break.
If he didn’t think he could win, why didn’t he recuse himself? He was defeated from the beginning. Sensitive and emotional. Years later, OJ still lives rent free in his head
Looks like a very good guy but unfortunately mediocre in his Job...The glove mistake was crucial... Fuhrman is a millionaire now writing very good police books and being an excellent speaker in Fox...Proved way smarter than Darden...
I’ve been saying the same thing for a while. And every time Marcia giggles when asked about the alleged affair between her and Darden, it’s irritating. If it did exist, it’s unprofessional and could have been distracting to the case. Like Marcia not wanting to agree to oj trying on the glove but Darden did. The jury didn’t just drop the ball, so did the prosecution.
@@vitintres2451 Very good, as for your “unlike you” remark that remains to be seen. For now. What testimony and/or testimonies convinced you he was guilty¿
@@daffyduckfan4478 The gloves that Nicole bought for OJ were the gloves used in the MURDERS OJ'S blood found @ the muder scene before his blood was taken by the detectives, OJ admitting that he cut his hand before going to Chicago, OJ admitting that he bled in the bronco, OJ lying about knowing where Nicole and her family were having dinner, the pictures of OJ wearing Bruno Magley shoes...WHAT ELSE DO IDIOTS LIKE YOU NEED?
If this guy and Marsha Where focused in the case. Instead of play boyfriend and girl friend They where get conviction. For the people but Theirs emotions where in love sad sad .
Garnett Taylor it was another Asian judge in the civil trial. What are you talking about? Not everything is about race, sometimes it’s about what’s right and wrong. Furhman was racist and was prosecuted....that’s right. OJ murdered two people and got away with it in a criminal court of law......that’s wrong. And, the cops who beat Rodney king got away with it in a criminal court of law.....that’s wrong. The jury admitted to letting OJ go free as payback....that’s wrong too, Garnett. OJ wanted NOTHING to do with his community. Yet, they saved him from paying for murdering two people. If you think that’s right, you’re the racist. I see way more black on white racism on the trial and subsequent videos related to the trial, than I do white on black racism. No one wants to frame OJ.....he’s not black, he’s OJ, remember?? Left his race behind. His race should have left HIM behind.
I love Mr.Darden. i read his book several times and really respect his passion behind his work. Yes it can the better of him and he can act hastily by...oh i dont know...maybe having simpson try on the gloves, BUT, HE GIVES A SHIT and he cares and he gives it his all! Plus i really like tbe sound of his voice for some reason, its really soothing to me.😆🫣🤭
