The prosecutions case wasn’t strong to begin with. Read the book Evidence dismissed and you’ll understand why OJ got acquitted LAPD botched the case, mishandled evidence, lied about timelines. The blood evidence was laughable which got thrown out, the Jury never heard about the socks or the blood on the back gate or the blood in the Bronco… The jury was not present to hear about the blood evidence. People are not informed enough about this case.
Watching right now, im at the part where the white reporter is reading the Mark Furman quote if he sees a N driving with a white woman.....gets me everytime...lol
@D3LAWAR302 absolutely. But we all know that you have to connect with the audience, especially the jury. He just failed at that. I bet if you took his words and gave them to Johnny Cochran to say (basicallyif they switched roles) , he would have been found guilty.
@@MrGrace we’ll never know the climate of that time, mixed with Mark Furmans racist recordings were going to make it minimum a hung jury. DNA was too new

You have a good night.Sorry for my corney lame ass long story😂😂👏👏💯
Juge Ito was ridiculous. When he “reprimanded” the defense, he literally had to read a script. I half expected Clarence Beeks to give him a thumbs up from the back of the courtroom.
@@unknown-lf6zxyes, Judge Ito and Johnny at one time had been Coworkers and close friends at one time! Johnny had been Cocrhcan's supervisor once as well...The Judge was professional and New fully Al how to separate friendships from being fair and objective in court...
I did the trip almost 10 years ago ironically on June 12th, and the trip from Rockingham to Bundy was less than 5 minutes away, and the crime scene was creepy to say the least. A sad tragedy indeed🥺😨🥶
The best documentary series I’ve ever seen was the one ESPN made in 2016 about OJ Simpson’s life called “OJ: Made in America”. It’s 5 episodes each 90 minutes long. I must have watched it about 50 times. It’s so fuckin good. They also go in depth with the LAPD and their history of racial issues which helps explain a lot of what happened in the trial. The 2 episodes dedicated to the murders and the trial were so well done.
It was really good. I just made my 19yr old son watch it as a history lesson. He is a huge football fan so he knew who OJ was. But he didn’t know this part of his life.
One sided crap,Ron was the intended victim.The killers came out of Freds world,he's ma rried to the exwife of Marvin Glass a convicted drug lord and murderer.
I bet they never spoke to Andrea Scott,Rons Girl friend,her car and keys were found at the murder scene.Ron died with her keys in his hands.Rons beeper was found under his body with a ring.Whom beeped Ron last ??.Whose ring was it.??.The defense team brought all of this out.
Elsa Teaster ,she lives at the corner of Dorothy and Bundy.She called 911 twice pass midnight about someone in her yard.That someone had to be Ron running for his life.We never heard those calls,they had her testify it was 8.30.She died shortly after.
AGREED!!! THANK YOU!!! ... but while this was a murder case and not one of domestic violence, DV DOES play a card in murder as a possible end result. The 'race' card got thrown in and the "contaminated" evidence got thrown in and boom!......... NOT GUILTY. money talks!....so forget Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. This entire trial strayed from the facts!.....sad situation. Found guilty in civil court though... and did he pay the Goldmans anything???? NO!!!! Then he ends up doing time for stealing his own memorabilia... Desperation?? who knows. I remember him from the commercials, the movies.... football, of course......sad situation.... she was 18 and he was a married 30-year old. It was his way or the highway.. And in the end, I would hope that he confessed on his deathbed but probably not. May he now answer to his maker in death as "secrets" will ALWAYS come to the light.
One Juror basically said that should have been for another trial, yet they had no problem with another issue not related to this case, police corruption/misconduct, taking center stage. Dumb .... jurors. At least the civil jury got it right.
It was not him who kicked the bucket. Someone else must have kicked the bucket for him. And as the saying goes, 'if he did not kick the bucket, you cannot suspect'.
There was overwhelming proof and some of the jurors have admitted they let him off as a racist revenge play. The RACISM of the jury and the scum lawyers using the race card to let a murderer go free is what matters fool.
Thank you for posting this... I was 13 in 1995 and I remember watching the whole trial on court tv. With is personality,and how he treated her, as well..... AND the gloves that dont fit him,they shrink after they got wet or had blood on them. I thought it was going to be a slam dunk case of him being guilty. I still find it hard to believe he was found aquitted
Same here Amanda ! I thought it was open and shut . I watched everyday , I read and watched everything about it and he did it I still 💯 still believe he was guilty
Wow. Thanks for this upload. As a viewer inn the UK back then, I can't remember how much the coverage entailed but seeing the American tv point of view ( and not from footage overused )
@@jonathanwebb3024 Why didn't the limo driver see the cut on his hand? In fact, why didn't the people he signed autographs for see the cut on his hand? Why didn't the pilot who flew him to Chicago see the cut on his hand?
My brother in christ. The limo driver was in the front of the limo, driving. And it was night time. The pilot is flying the damn plane! How the f can he examine OJ for a cut? You're a weirdo.
OJ didnt participate in the murder of Nicole which was 10pm, but he and Jason were involved in the murder of Jason at 1030pm....He was involved but he didnt do any stabbing...hence no injuries other than the cut Ron Goldman slashed him with his keys....
Two problemsthat speck on the Bronco door was not tested,no one knew if it's blood.The bulb from the Dome light for the Bronco was on the passenger side of the car had a finger print on it in blood ,never introduced as evidence.
I’ve waited on him in 2015-18 at a high end restaurant. Very very nice man. He actually was friends with the owner. From what I hear, the pressure to not goof the oj case was immense. And his best friends even stopped talking to him because he was going at Oj
Ito was a disgrace. Especially feeling sorry for himself when his wife was criticised by Fuhrman. 2 people are decomposing in their graves. Each of their family's are suffering. Ito was so consumed with making headlines by reprimanding the lawyers especially Marcia Clarke.
When the one juror comes out afterwards and says that this was a murder case, and not a domestic violence case, to not see the connection, it clues you into what kind of simpletons were on that jury.
This trial should of never been broadcasted live worldwide to millions and millions every single day. Judge Ito was really loving his T.V. time and 15 minutes of fame
actually, have they never showed the trial on TV, we would not have been able to see how sloppy the police worked the trial and the amount of corruption that OJ had to endure and what he was subjected to....if they would not showed it on tv, OJ might have been railroaded.
@@daviddavis3389 I agree! Becaue the defense investigation of SID played a profound role in putting not only the police but the carelessness of how evidence was collected! A lot of innocent people were in jail because of their carelessness mistakes! The prosecution NEVER had a case in the first place!
There has been much debate over whether he did commit the crime. The victims' families believe he did. Evidence was tainted from day one. But somehow he was acquitted. He had a good lawyer in Johnnie Cochran. OJ Simpson will always be remembered for being a football star and everything people remember him for, but they're gonna always remember him going on trial for murder of his ex-wife and a friend of hers and that robbbery and kidnapping incident in Las Vegas. And people will still debate this case no matter what.
Not to mention, the prosecution was just HORRIBLE. They were very,very sloppy. They simply got outplayed. Also, at the time, people didn't really understand DNA testing. How it worked. It's no wonder the verdict turned out like it did.
@courtpres8756 During most recent interview, Alan Dershowitz, one of the attorneys of the famed "Dream Team" who represented OJ was asked If they won that court case. His answer: "No we didn't win it. Rather the prosecution team lost that case."
Evidence was not tainted, that was just the defenses "tactic" blood can't be tainted to appear to belong to someone. That was OJs blood at the crime scene
The. Diddy is definitely in trouble! He should have hired that Beautiful attorney that Johnny Depp had...I that Think that her last name is Vasquez...she's really good...she proved that Amber was. Lier....
It will say the exact same thing it said in 1995, O.J. Ron and Nicole’s blood at bundy, in the bronco , and then OJ and Nicole’s blood at rockingham with all 3’s blood on the glove found at rockingham. It isn’t rocket science people, use logic.
Kato Kaelin testified that there was blood in OJs foyer in the property the morning after the murder. Before the detectives even spoke to OJ (who was in Chicago at that point) blood was already present. So how could the detectives have planted blood before OJ returned from Chicago and gave his blood sample? Of course he was guilty.
True according the events, but those were documented by the police including Fuhrman, which makes it dubious once his testimony falls apart. That's just chain of evidence technicality and total bullshit in this case, but those rules are there for a good reason.
@@deeniology101That doesn’t explain where OJ’s blood came from if he was in flight or in Chicago. If the glove was “so called planted”, how did OJ’s blood get all over it? Then he runs on June 17th saying “I’m the only one that deserves to get hurt here, I’m so sorry for everything” Yes he was found “not guilty” by a racially driven post-Rodney King jury but it’s so unbelievably obvious he killed them both. Because if anyone brings up Scott Peterson they think guilty right away(as they should)and there wasn’t NEAR the mounting evidence against him. However, he killed his wife and kid. Cold blooded murderer
It's wierd how the jury could ignore so much to draw their flawed conclusions. 4 detectives 2 who do not know the other two, take blood from the seen, already knowing who it belonged too and planted it, then later planted blood from Simpson. They did this to protect a person who no one has ever seen or known. Then they knew what gloves to use including the brand. "If it doesn't fit you must aquitt". The same gloves, same brand, same size, that fit him in several pictures. The purchase of which proven by receipts found in Nicole Simpsons house. Just nonsense. He was guilty, they knew it. A travesty of Justice.
@@DashDonivan But he was found not guilty! Rob was mad at O.J. about something else. They weren't even friends during the trial! Rob wasn't as innocent as he seems! He hadn't practice law in years when this case started.
Let's decide guilt on who is the better speaker and too hell with overwhelming proof. If they had a case then the massive race baiting play wouldn't have been necessary.
They somehow took a tragedy and turned it into a real to life comedy reality show; that's all this is. I was too young to remember this and now it seems hard to believe this actually happened.
Darden's opening statement was so weak, I almost skipped his part in this video. Imagine how the jury must have felt hearing him speak so un- charismatically.
They never talk about how Ron Goldman had defensive wounds on his hands and feet- he definitely fought for his life with a vicious struggle and well.. OJ had a scratch. #NotGuilty
Nicole struggled for her life as well, and it was found that she had samples of her killers' skin under her fingernails. But when the DNA from the tissue was analyzed, it was found that it did not match OJ
@@ladylove2310 you’re right, he just had his hands FULL OF DEFENSIVE WOUNDS-- he clearly.. beat somebody’s ass.. not OJ, BECAUSE HE ONLY HAD A SCRATCH ON HIS FINGER
@@JamesDavis-fq7fhRon clearly didn’t beat anyone. He died horrifically. You try getting stabbed over and over with a seven inch knife throughout areas of your body that are critical and gush blood everywhere and see how you hold up against your attacker. The dude was stabbed like twenty plus times and had his throat slit. Any defense he had for himself would have been in vain. He had no chance.
Yeah you’d do that with no real information. They weren’t even supposed to be the main lawyers on the case. Darden was brought in after the main lawyer had high blood pressure and was excused from the case. He did a documentary about the evidence that wasn’t brought forward but would have been if he had been allowed to continue.
Robert admitted he was not upset about the verdict. He was reacting to Johnny Cochran's joyous behavior after the not guilty verdict was read. You an even see Kardashian look back an Johnny as if to say 'dude, really? It was unprofessional in the legal realm. Johnny should have stood there silent like the other attorneys.
@@luskapani9905 Actually it is true and what he said in that interview wasn’t any different from what he said at the beginning of the trial. He had doubts but ultimately the evidence as they saw it wasn’t enough to convict. Robert got his money just like the rest of them and then he never talked to OJ again. But that was due to private matters between his wife and OJ and not the trial itself.
No, It was the incompetence of Clarke and Darden. The glove thing was his inspired idea. But the real fault to me falls to LA DA Gil Garcetti. He allowed this case to fall to Clarke by default. He needed the best homicide prosecutor in his office, and neither Daren nor Clarke were the best .
@@simione29 a small paper cut that the bus boy at the hotel in Chicago testified OJ broke a glass when he found out his ex wife was murder , listen man this was a DRUG debt Hit
Well, they didnt find "all this blood", there were drops here and there. Certainly way less than one would think, given the way the two victims were slaughtered. The drops that they did find had EDTA in it, meaning it was likely from a lab sample that was somehow poured or dropped there.
He actually stated in his first interview at the police department that the injury happened before he left for Chicago but couldn't explain exactly how.. then he said he opened the wound again in Chicago when he broke the glass.
I don't know if he did it, but I don't think the evidence proved it beyond a reasonable doubt...especially with Fuhrman in the equation. So I'd say the jury made the right decision (based on what I could see here in the video).
Because Ron had injuries from defending himself , O.J. should've injuries form Ron beating him up! Glynn Rogers Called in sick to work the next day! There's actually documentation to prove this.
She wasn’t afraid of him. They spoke o the phone and She got him tickets for the recital that day. He came with flowers for his daughter. He kissed her parents and sisters and chatted with them. Did you see the video? Never made sense that he suddenly went berserk
The same way abused spouses go back to their marriages. I know of a woman who got stabbed by her husband, spent weeks in hospital then went back. Well she didn't survive the next one.I think love or passion can create a Stockholm syndrome where for some insane reason the victim believes their abuser isn't capable of the worst. It's strange but common in marriages.
The main blood stained pair didn’t fit. The ones he tried on after that did because they were brand new. When you soak things in liquid they tend to shrink, blood being one of those type of liquids. Putting those gloves on it was obvious they weren’t going to fully fit. Plus OJ stopped taking his medication prior to that event so his hands were inflamed. They demonstrated this at the beginning of the trial and the jury got to see where the “cut” on his hand was.
I believe his defense team thought he was guilty also ,but see what the problem was they wasn't trying to prove him innocent,they was tryna prove the lapd guilty of there past corruption,and they won from that Sn: i feel like oj had help he didn't do it by himself that night
If his defense team believed he was guilty they would have settle for a plea bargin! The burden of proof is not on the defense, they're not making the case! The burden of proof is on the prosecution! The role off the defense is to basically rebut the presecution's evidence!
OJ Brings muscle when needed. Vegas and possibly the night Nicole and Ron were murdered. OJ might not have been able to overtake Ron.. Major Defensive wounds on Ron with only one on OJ.
Johnnie also represented Michael Jackson, snoop dog, and many more celebrities ( he also represented Geronimo) not the native American, Geronimo Pratt) Johnnie won all his cases...
I’m of a certain age that this verdict was one of the first times I discovered that this country really really doesn’t work properly. It was like the jury unanimously agreeing that there is no wood in the forest, just a bunch of trees 🌲 😢🙃🇺🇸
I’m Definitely Not Blaming The Victim, But If You Move Out A House Due To DV, Why Would You Move A 5-10 Minute Drive Away From Where You’re Trying To Get Away From..? She Might As Well Moved To Another Part Of The House If She Was Going To Move That Close To Him.. Just My Thoughts..
You're not victim blaming. I see your point 100% First it was stated by her immediate family in an interview they did several months after Nicole's death that she moved closer to OJ so the kids could see him more and vice versa. Also it was known that OJ and Nicole were so on again off again even several months before his death. So she tells her many friends that she was afraid OJ was going to kill her one day, but then continued seeing him. Overall, they were both f'd up. A typical co-dependant relationship.

Perhaps The Domestic Violence angle misrepresents The Truth.
I thought about the same thing. She should have moved FAR from him, even way down in Dana Point where her family lived. The only problem though was they were sharing custody of their kids then so would been hard if she moved too far. She would never abandoned her kids....She would of had to drive all the way to where he was for him to see the kids or visa versa so He would still be around
Ngl those socks looked planted as hell and one of those blood drops looked like it had fallen straight down with no horizontal movement at all and was pristine.
I actually think Fuhrman’s lies caught up with him. I think he lied using all of that racist rhetoric and false stories to score an early disability retirement from law enforcement. Then after that failed, used similar language and false stories to score a deal with a writer. I think the guy was really just full of shit and should not have been allowed to remain in the LAPD. With that said, I do not believe he planted evidence.
Let’s talk about the evidence the prosecutors didn’t want to share… the blood and DNA under Nicole’s fingernails, the DNA on Ron Goldmans knuckles, the fact that the captain of the plane and the passengers that got OJ Autograph and picture didn’t see cuts on his hand. Nicole was on drugs Mezzaluna tied to drug activity and three people were murdered with ties to that restaurant. If OJ was white and Nicole was black the story would’ve been OJ wife tied to drug trafficking and the truth about her being a hell raiser would’ve been brought out. Her sexual partners, how she beat up the maid and terrorized his first wife all that would’ve came out. OJ would’ve been a hero living with a drug addict and putting up with her crap for years. The real story would’ve been told about the 911 call. The real truth is out there and somebody is going to tell it then that story will be told and sold.
As I watch this I can't help but think about that FX mini series about this case and how the casting for that was really spot on!! They really did a great job with it. Do I think he did it? 🤔..... Honestly who really knows other than God and OJ. All I know is that if I ever get in trouble( hopefully I don't. I don't plan to.) I want a lawyer like good ole Johnnie Cochran😁😁😁.
He was already abusive, lied at first in the interview he refused to take a polygraph and he fled after it happened, all things an innocent person doesn't do and those are only a few factors, he definitely did it, unsure as to whether he did it alone though
those gloves are small!! those are the killers gloves!! OJ hands are bigger no way his hands would fit in those gloves. and speaking of shoes doesnt mark furham wear the same size of shoes? why didnt they investigate mark furhman??? he was nicole special cop
There are multiple reasons why his hands struggle to fit the gloves, including that he is wearing gloves beneath as well as the fact that he went off medication (which he was warned would cause his hands to swell if he did so.) I think he hired people to do this or had accomplices. Either way it was him for sure!
Now, this is only my opinion. In my opinion...... Those gloves DEFINITELY fit. Not only did he have latex gloves on already when he was trying on those gloves, but OJ was also an actor. He was doing everything in his power to make it seem that those gloves didn't fit.
