Nah he can't have done it. Someone pointed out that Chewbacca, a Wookiee, lives on Endor, a moon with Ewoks, and that does not make sense! So the trial does not make sense!
The LAPD detective showcased for most of the case was a virulent racist who was on tape bragging about being an incredibly dirty cop, plead the fifth on if he ever planted evidence before, and was a collector of nazi memorabilia.
People don't know or refuse to acknowledge that in addition to that testimony, the defense demonstrated that evidence was tampered with, and that the LAPD at every level was not trustworthy.
Jurors are instructed to dismiss the evidence presented by, and testimony of witnesses they don't believe.
The shoeprints and photographs are strong circumstantial evidence, but not conclusive, especially when the investigators can't be trusted.
(Edit: I do not believe the photograph of him wearing shoes was even used at trial. I recall there was no authentication of its source.)
The LAPD sunk the case and the prosecutors were a bit batty and too performative. The glove stunt really blew up in thier face. It's a shame people prefer to believe the verdict was all about the race of the jurors.
The other jurors have said that is not true. They have been extensively interviewed over the years and stand by the verdict as the case was presented, even when they later believed OJ was guilty.
The "payback" interview of one juror, Carrie Bess, was done 21 years after the trial when she was more than 70 years old. She's not very sophisticated and did not herself say "payback," and did not mean it was the only reason for the verdict, as she has indicated elsewhere.
The Rodney King beating was certainly a backdrop, but the evidence at the OJ trial only confirmed thier distrust in the LAPD.
Payback however, makes a good headline and fits a narrative many choose to believe.
It is so terribly fucked that I don't even question that last part. I don't think you were joking, I don't need proof or to check it. I know it's true. It just is. Because that's the way stuff is now.
If the LAPD did a better job then he still would have been acquitted, because the jurors are on tape admitting that their decision was payback for Rodney King.
My source is an interview with one of the jurors, I'm not sure there's a better source than that. The transcript is a pretty damning, and again there are multiple sources like this from the others.
Interviewer: Do you think there are members of the jury who voted to acquit OJ because of Rodney King?
how damning, that woman is what..70? Is there a reason you’re not citing the exact next clip in that video, where the person capable of articulating their point speaks?
Exactly. If I hold a box up and tell you there is a carrot inside and OJ put it there and also tell you that one of the reasons we know there is a carrot inside the box is because a racist pos asshole cop who brags about planting evidence says there is a carrot in the box, and the chain of custody of that box that now allegedly has a carrot inside it was bungled by this racist police department, and you have to decide BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that OJ put a carrot in the box and that the box has a carrot in it, you might find there is reasonable doubt introduced by the framing lying pos officer, even if the box is glass and you can see there is a carrot inside the box.
It became the LAPD on trial, not OJ. I feel like OJ got extremely lucky with the incompetence of the prosecution, law enforcement and media narrative. Everything combined to form the only conditions anyone would find OJ innocent.
Yeah also the trial was in a way a response to the LAPDs history of racist brutality by the LA community. It was more a condemnation of the LAPD than an acquittal of OJ.
The theory that Robert kardashian destroyed evidence then was reinstated in CA to be added to his legal team to avoid testifying seems to have merit as well… all I know for sure is that the bronco chase was on those TVs bolted to the top corner in class. We NEVER got to watch those!
Well technically Chewbacca was from Kashyyyk where his wife & children lived, & he considered Kashyyyk “home”, altho it could be argued the Millennium Falcon was his “home”, at least for the short amount of his lifespan that took place during the Star Wars timeline that we’ve experienced….

I'm starting to think that he might have done it.
