I so agree I was 25yrs old this type of show could never be broadcast today...broadcasting this " here a nigga there nigga a stab stab there here a slash there a slash" that's pritty bad stuff
Thank you so much for putting these posts together! It must have been a lot of work and taken a significant amount of time. Awesome collection and much appreciated.
Scary that Daniel was right. I thought their were 10 black people 1 Mexican & one white woman. I dont know why they keep saying 3 white jurors. Anyway I heard right away they took a preliminary vote & it was 10 not guilty & 2 non guilty. I wonder how they got 2 people turned around. Their was not that much time. They deliberated for only 4 hrs. They say filling out the paper work takes 2 hrs & they went to lunch for an hour. So really an hour. I'm not surprised those jurors decided fast bc they were sick of being sequestered. Another reason dumb ito should not let that damn trial go 9 months. Most murder trials are 3 weeks !
@@natalieps2387 it’s easy for people to say “I would have held out and hung the jury”, but being in that environment for 9 months, I might have voted OJ for the next Pope if it got me home as soon as possible.
Thanks for all of these. I was too young when the OJ trial took place and became interested as an adult after i read the Goldman’s book His Name is Ron.
@Bad Cattitude Wow, that's so crazy. For people your age, I guess it's impossible to understand what OJ's status was before this whole mess. It was literally the OPPOSITE of what it is now. I was a little white kid in the 70s and OJ was the man. Handsome, likeable, funny, sports hero, made it out of the ghetto, total Cinderella story. By the time of the murders, he wasn't as hip and cool because of the stupid "Naked Gun" movies but he was definitely beloved, mainly because of 70s nostalgia. I still remember hearing that his wife was murdered and thinking what a horrible thing to happen to a great guy like OJ. I didn't follow his life closely enough to know about any of the domestic violence or his divorce or that he was married to a white woman. In a way, OJ could do no wrong - with whites and blacks. Then hearing the news report that not only were the police looking for OJ but they couldn't find him. Huh? What the hell would the cops want with OJ? A modern example might be if the cops were looking for Jay Leno or Jimmie Fallon or somebody like that. He was one of those smiley, goofy celebrities that you can't imagine having a negative bone in their body. I hate to agree with Daniel Carver but most white people felt like, "of course I'll watch it but I already know the verdict". We knew he'd be let go, mainly to avoid every city in America being burned down. And if you ever watch the videos of groups of people hearing the verdict, and you see all the black people cheering and all the white people just shaking their heads - THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS LIKE, all over the country.
One of the great things about Howard, in these days, is that he openly said he was guilty. PC culture goes back a long way, and I’m telling you, anyone with fame back then DID NOT express their opinion on this matter.
Yup it should get brought up. It’s not only allowed, but there’s a whole category of evidentiary rules about it - “consciousness-of-guilt evidence.” Pretty much expected that evidence of flight gets brought up at trial. It’s really astonishing it didn’t get brought up.
Wow what a slice of history in real time, thank you for putting this all up. What happened to oj was all his white friends were done with him oj didnt want to hang out with the black people who cheered him and got him freed. I always was perplexed by the brown parents attitude but I guess they were in a hard spot bc they had the tie to the kids & oj could have kept them away. The goldmans were relentless and got him put in jail they hounded him by taking away his things from the civil suit. A friend told me that the black community hates black gays so I wonder if his dad being gay messed him up. Howard was right he was shunned . People scream murderer at him prob til the day he dies.
Totally. Of all this coverage, one of the greatest videos is from right after the trial, OJ appeared at some black church in L.A. and they were all worshipping and singing, and cheering him. I've never seen a human being look more uncomfortable and irritated than OJ. He was wearing this weird African looking robe/jacket and it looked like he'd rather be wearing a fucking orange jumpsuit than that thing. It was so obvious they gave it to him to wear and he felt he couldn't say no. There wasn't ONE white person in this room full of thousands of people - it was 100% working class and poor blacks. Guarantee OJ hadn't been around that many black people since he was 10 years old. And he realized that this is now his life. He based his whole life on "escaping" from black people and becoming a king in the white world and he succeeded. After the trial, the black community were the only people who would be seen with him. For a guy like OJ, that's a worse punishment than jail.
I disagree with Stern on Cochrane. Yes he did his job as a lawyer but he touted himself as a symbol of justice against police officers. He didn’t help race relations, he mutilated it. That’s his legacy. That’s the joke.
Cochran was a much better man than Vincent Bugliosi ever was. Bugliosi made idiotic, false claims against Charles Manson. Race had nothing to do with the TLB murders.
Funny how Howard was convinced the whole time they would find him NOT guilty, but then the day of the verdict he changed his mind completely and bet on guilty. Just shows you - never second guess your gut feeling.
I agree w/ Howard about Nicole's father. He never seemed upset his daughter was butchered. I get the family was in a bad spot as oj was the father of his grandchildren. Denise was the most vocal about oj being a murderer & batterer.
Every black person i have meet i have asked about the oj case and Micheal Jackson case and they all give me the same answers. Oj did it but they wanted a black man to finally get off after years of always being guilty no matter what. And they all agree that Micheal Jackson was framed
Only two history making events that occurred in my lifetime where I knew exactly where I was and what I was doing at the time that it happened to this day...the first being September 11th, 2001 when the Towers went down, I was 21 and we were underway heading across the Atlantic ocean back towards the United States and I just got off of watch and the second was October 3rd, 1995, the day that OJ Simpson got away with the gruesome murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman and I was 15, sitting in 3rd period high school algebra class and our teacher let us watch it on tv. I really don't know why those memories are so etched in my memory and there are certainly other events that have happened in my lifetime that I will never forget, but for some reason those two almost feel like they happened yesterday, every time I think about them.
We must be the same age. I was in English class in high school on the day of the verdict and our teacher let us watch. Every black kid in the class started cheering and jumping up and down.
Cuz Trump speaks as a self interested/LYING/contrarian. As much as I hate black thugs killing us Koreans & always wanting special privileges, I can't condone that draft dodging coward Trump who has NO interest but himself.
Hippo 😂😂😂.. really though it's funny Stern fans can't see that there's no way someone as insecure as Howard could really have a man take Robin spot permenatly
@@taejon4370 no one had to take her spot it was fine with Jackie in there and even Gary was good sometimes when he’d come he doesn’t have to have an insufferable do nothing co-host like Opie
