Every channel switched to it and my dad called me from work to watch it since he knew I was an MTV junkie. It was crazy because everyone thought he was the worlds nicest guy and here he was driving at like 30 mph down the center of the freeway with a gun to his head and roughly 30 cop cars after him.

If I recall correctly, a photo of Simpson wearing the Bruno Magli shoes didn't surface until after the not guilty verdict in the criminal case, despite strenuous efforts by the prosecution to find one. When it did, it came from a photographer who'd been engaged to photograph Simpson at some publicity event. Since it had been a paying gig, he had kept his dated invoice, proving that Simpson unquestionably had owned a pair of the shoes at the time of the murders.

@@mistym0rning Yeah except that evidence of blood wasn't collected properly and mishandled that it looked unnatural and therefor was argued that it was planted by the cops. It had traces of EDTA so they argued it was from a lab. The accusation of the blood being planted plus the blood being contaminated with what looks like what's used in labs was enough to throw doubt on the blood evidence. Tech today would have been able to tell the difference between natural EDTA and lab version but back then it wasn't. Now I do believe OJ is guilty but you stating it so clear cut makes it obvious you don't know much about the case. The police messed up.

@DonLee1980 12 дней назад

The first time I heard about OJ Simpson's murder case was in a statistics course, and how stats can manipulate points of view. OJ's lawyer argued, yes there was domestic abuse, but the number of domestic abusers that eventually killed their significant other, was like 1 in a 1000 (I can't remember). But obviously, he omitted the fact that of course most people don't kill their wives or husbands even if there is domestic abuse. Murders are rare to begin with. BUT if there WAS a murder, the likelihood of the abusive husband being the murderer is more than half the time. It's absolutely mind boggling how he got away with murder.

@hernandayolearyallda 5 дней назад

Correction, most men who murder their wives have no prior history of abusing them, Scott Petersons are far more common. The defense intended to call a psychologist to testify towards why OJ was not typical of a man who would kill his wife [ie divorced for many years, moved on with girlfriend, refused ex-wife's advances to get back together, vacationed with ex-wife and attended events with her like Trump's wedding to Marla maples, single incident of "abuse" which was several pushes after she attacked him with a bat, etc.]

@@TitaniumTurbine Leather gloves shrink around 15% when they get wet and aren't immediately dried off, which is what happened. Leather gloves are also meant to be a fairly tight fit to begin with and he was kind of able to get one of the gloves on, so it's not much of a stretch to say that, if they were a little larger, they would fit him "like a glove". There should have been a cross examination in which the same brand gloves of the same size are brought in brand new and he tried those on as well. It could very much squash a lot of these conspiracies either way about the glove not fitting.

@@justicefool3942Regarding the gloves (one fitting and one not) weren't the gloves found in seperate locations?... one at the scene, and one at his residence.

@justicefool3942 13 дней назад

@@Bahlzeron The more likely reason one would fit better than the other is uneven blood distribution. That is, the one that fit better had less blood on it and so would shrink less. Either way, they both shrank, which is why a good cross exam should have had a control group of gloves that are the same brand of the same size that were not previously worn or tampered with to get a much better grasp on how the gloves would have likely fit prior to being soaked in blood.

I was a kid in 1995 and remember this going on. Even then, I had the unsettling feeling that he was a bad person, just seeing him on TV. But when he was acquitted, I had this idea that "well, I guess he didn't do it" because kids are dumb and I guess I thought there's no way they'd get something that big wrong. Of course, the older I got, the more I learned how fallacious that line of thinking was, and became as convinced as everyone else that he was guilty. Thank you for the coverage of it here. Looking back now, I feel so bad for Nicole. She did what we're all told to do: report it, get out--and she did the best she could with the circumstances to do exactly that... yet it wasn't enough, the police didn't help, and she not only got killed, but he basically got away with it. I wish I could say the world had changed, but looking at both domestic violence stats and the corrupt, broken "justice" system... it's just the same shit, different decade, isn't it?

@bobbun9630 2 дня назад

"I thought there's no way they'd get something that big wrong." The jury didn't get it wrong. The job of the prosecution was to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and if the jury didn't think the prosecution managed that, then they got it right when they acquitted. As perverse as it may seem, we don't actually send people to prison for the acts they actually committed. We send them to prison because the prosecution convinced a jury that that the person committed those acts. We mostly all accept on the basis of faith in the jury system that these are the same thing, but they're really not.

Unlikely given literal juror statements where more than one had already made their mind up prior to the trial due to Rodney King. To put it bluntly, the trial was anything but a legal proceeding for a murder, and the jury were made up of jurors who not only came in willing to acquit because of events that weren't related to the case but would have had a near infinite amount of slights from decades of racism at the LAPD. It was a miscarriage of justice, and if the LAPD had done everything right and to the book and above the law you'd have had, at best, a hung jury, if not another acquittal.

As someone who had had gloves shrink after being wet, the "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit" rings hollow. Those gloves were found outside and were not exactly in pristine condition. If they had been too big despite their condition, that would be a different case entirely (although if you put the wet gloves on something to stretch them, they will do so. But it takes work to stretch them. Water makes the leather more able to both shrink and stretch, but shrinking doesn't take work.)

@XandateOfHeaven 13 дней назад

Mark Fuhrman was far more damaging to the case because his recording primed the jury to think of all evidence in the context of him admitting to planting evidence in previous cases. The problem is that even if Fuhrman wanted to plant evidence he would have had to have known he was going to frame OJ before he even knew where he was going or what happened. The timeline of events for him to have planted evidence don't make any sense. However, this reasoning would have been completely prejudiced by the recordings of Fuhrman using racial slurs, claiming to brutalize suspects, and claiming to plant evidence.

@shawnwales696 13 дней назад

I think the jury was more afraid of the possible repercussions of convicting him (such as the riots after the not guilty verdicts in the Rodney King case) and of being labeled as racists than they were concerned that Simpson might murder someone else. I was in my late 30s at the time and there was a lot if side eye glances. They had to know that they were acquitting a probably guilty man. That's our system though, it's run by humans and humans are infamously flawed, we shouldn't be surprised when cases like this occur occasionally.

Wild thing about the glove is that it did in fact fit... I've definitely worn clothes that didn't fit WELL, but I was still wearing them. I'm not gonna go out and buy some new gloves to commit a murder. Any ol' gloves laying around the house should do.

@johanalejandrocazadordepin7225 13 дней назад

not only that, there multiple videos of him wearing the gloves on TV. Furthermore, the gloves did fit while he was wearing other gloves at the same time he stopped taking medication for his arthritis so his hand would get bigger

@mistym0rning 10 дней назад

Didn’t they also have him put on rubber gloves underneath while trying on the leather gloves? Since they couldn’t disturb the evidence. It’s difficult to put leather gloves over rubber gloves, for sure. The fact that jurors weighed those ill-fitted gloves more heavily than DNA / blood evidence will never cease to infuriate me.

Props for remembering the "If i did it" sketch from "The Chris Rock Show" which was famously predicted such a ridiculous book. Also, OJ's film career dates all the way back to when he was a student at USC. His appearance in "The Towering Inferno" was while he was an active player in the NFL. "Capricorn One" and "The Naked Gun" came right at the end of his playing career. Not to mention the Hertz ads. So he was very much a household name, even if you didn't follow football.

Feels like it needs to be said, in a civil court you only need to be found '51% guilty' but in criminal court you need to be found '99% guilty'. This essentially means that there can be without a doubt that you're guilty in criminal court, while civil court has more leeway.

The fact the Florida even has a law that allows such practises in order to basically circumvent any form of collecting from a court determined debt is from my point an attack on the right of the courts as the law basically makes any form of debt uninforcable and as such null and void, killing any form of legal protection for the stiffed party.

@BrooksMoses 13 дней назад

And notice that it only protects people who are rich enough (or lucky enough) to own their home without debt. If you are renting or have a mortgage, it doesn't protect the money you were planning to pay rent or pay your mortgage with, so tough luck.

@bobagorof 7 дней назад

Something I don't recall noticing at the time (I was too young) that my dad pointed out when they showed the footage recently is that when OJ was trying to put on the gloves he is already wearing some gloves. That would, of course, make gloves a much tighter fit than if they just went over your hands as they are designed to do.

@ninavale. 13 дней назад

The fact that he got found responsible and liable in civil court tells me, very much that this wasn't about anyone actually beliving he didn't do it. It was people hating LAPD and having issues with corruption and clear biases within that institution. The tensions and grivences were so high people were willing to let a murder go. I believe one of the jurors said that this was a payback for Rhodney King. Now, this shouldn't have had a bearing on OJ's case, but when tensions are high people are rarely logical and rational.

@cinemaocd1752 13 дней назад

Not only that, but they had no choice but to vote based on what they were presented with in court: a star witness that was a turner diaries level racist, blood evidence that was mishandled, and a trial that lasted more than a year. They were all exhausted and I think the verdict was as much payback to the prosecution team as it was payback for rodney king...

@danpatterson8009 13 дней назад

Agree. The defense exploited that sentiment in stacking the jury, and did their best to paint the prosecution as biased. Fuhrman was a godsend for the defense- some think he was paid by them to discredit the state's case.

@puirYorick 13 дней назад

Guilty or not - there was a solid establishment of reasonable doubt regarding the way cops handled the evidence. I personally find that BOTH juries came to the appropriate findings under the rule of law. Civil trials are on the balance of probabilities but criminal cases need proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Dirty cops = plenty of reasonable doubt. Had the detectives played it clean, the defence couldn't play up that doubt in the jurors' minds.

Not quite. The only reason OJ was acquitted was the anger over the Rodney King video. The jurors have even talked about the fact that several of them were voting not guilty no matter what was presented in court. It wasn't a case of him being acquitted because he's rich.
