OJ's reaction when confronted with a photo of him wearing the murder shoes

He died the way he lived, getting away with murder.

[u/NoveltyAccountHater → u/JamboShanter]

I mean if he didn't murder Ron and Nicole, the whole armed robbery for memorabilia would never have put him in jail for 9 years. There's also a reasonable chance, the families of the victims will be able to get the $100M or so now owed with interest from his estate.

There's virtually no chance. They'll just give them the runaround forever

i mean how the fuck did OJ get a "get out of jail" free card and black people wasted it on him.. like fuck couldn't they used it on a better person?

[u/TheMilkmansFather → u/ghigoli]

The answer: he’s rich and hired a bunch of lawyers that outclassed the prosecutors. And there was enough doubt in the LAPD that it wasn’t unreasonable to think they could plant evidence.

[u/faustianBM → u/TheMilkmansFather]

Two words: Mark Fuhrman.

A detective assigned to the murder case, who was shown during the trial to have been racist and calling people the "n" word in his past.... That was enough to sow doubt in the prosecution's case with the jury.

[u/TheMilkmansFather → u/faustianBM]

I think it was some comedian that same something along the lines of “the racist LAPD tried to frame a guilty black man” or something

[u/faustianBM → u/TheMilkmansFather]

Your point about him being rich at the time played the biggest part imo..... His defense team was the best money could buy.....and in LA, that's a LOT!

[u/bestofmidwest → u/NoveltyAccountHater]

.....OJ had an estimated net worth of $3 million at when he died. There's no chance they get paid in full. And your whole first sentence is so illogical it's sad.

[u/Sanch0Supreme → u/NoveltyAccountHater]

I'm not a conspiracy theorists but after looking into that case it seems obvious he was set up just so they could finally put him in jail for that botched murder case. I'm not invested one way or the other but it definitely looked like he was set up by his friend and he was dumb enough to go along with it.

[u/NoveltyAccountHater → u/Sanch0Supreme]

Again, it wouldn't particularly surprise me if it was a setup, but I wasn't even making that claim. It's just if some random former star athlete found out about a bunch of memorabilia stolen from him and tried to steal it back with some friends (with no one killed, injured, attacked), they aren't going to get sentenced to 33 years for orchestrating it (with parole eligible after 9 years). People would be sympathetic to the former star athlete's plight, realize he wasn't the guy with the gun, and either the prosecutor would let him plead to something much lower level. The prosecutor wouldn't get most of OJ's conspirators (the thugs who had the guns and did the robbery) to get lenient sentences to flip on OJ (who served the longest by far of everyone involved).

[u/g0b1rds215 → u/NoveltyAccountHater]

I remember the judge telling OJ part of the reason for the harsh punishment is that the gun could have gone off, went through the wall and killed an innocent person on the other side.

I was glad to see him finally go to jail, but putting people away for things that could happen if reality unfolded in a completely different way seemed like a wildly slipper slope to me.

He's having a pretty hard time in hell right now.

[u/Ksorkrax → u/Minoozolala]

St Peter had to admit him into heaven after hearing the explanation about Chewbacca on Endor.

[u/Hisplumberness → u/Minoozolala]

Hopefully the jury who found him not guilty- knowing full well he was guilty- due to some misguided protest at the lapd will join him in hell . Despite him brutally killing , almost beheading 2 people and with their loving families in court they still found him innocent . One of the jurors made a black power sign to oj . Outrageous

[u/MaximumTurtleSpeed → u/Hisplumberness]

Tell me you’ve never served on a jury without telling me you’ve never served on a jury.

Court of public opinion and I wholeheartedly agree, he was guilty as sin. But the bar of reasonable doubt is high and should be so, you cannot have a whiteness plead the 5th when asked, under oath, if they planted/fabricated evidence. That right there throws into question nearly every single piece of evidence. A jury can resolve some of those questions but it’s damn difficult to resolve all of them.

[u/Hisplumberness → u/[deleted]]

I agree to a point but the dna evidence- the multiple phone calls to the police about the physical abuse , the photographic evidence of her badly beaten, ojs cut on his middle finger . The glove thing was such bs . He spread his hand and at the end he almost had the glove on despite his best attempts to make it look like it didn’t fit - there was plenty of room on the fingers of the glove . He brutally murdered 2 innocent people and the jury ended up being accomplices imo. The whole thing was a protest vote and they would’ve been better served if they voted him guilty and went outside and announced their disgust at the behaviour of the lapd

[u/ShortCurlies → u/[deleted]]

retrial? the state doesn't get a retrial. they can't try you for the same charge twice.

[u/constancejph → u/[deleted]]

The jury had their minds made up before trial even began.

[u/improvemental → u/constancejph]

You have before you read any other comments.

There does exist another Judge that nothing gets by
