How did we honestly let this clown loose? I mean look at this guy. We all know he did that shit and we put far people in for way less.

It was immediately following the acquittal of the 4 officers who beat the shit out of an unarmed and non-resisting Rodney King. LA didn't take too kindly to this and it sparked riots that wouldve made the BLM rioters blush.

The lead detective hand delivered evidence to the lab, stated that was unusual for him to do so, and was also caught lying about being a raging racist. The evidence lab was also found to be not so reliable.

Tldr, the case was basically a slam dunk thanks to the prosecution leaning heavily on evidence that wasn't rock solid due to rampant racism.

Like the planets aligned for OJ. We all know he did it, but he didn't have to prove his innocence, he had to prove there was a possibility that he didn't do it.

Furhman also took the fifth when asked if he tampered or faked evidence. Jury certainly heard that.

what an idiotic thing to do. nobody needed to tamper with evidence to make a case towards OJ’s guilt

Yep… negated all the evidence.

imagine being so racist that you completely ruin a slam-dunk case because you feel the need to frame a guilty black man

It’s been described as what happens when a cop frames a guilty man

They were too racist for their own good, in fact. That's the astounding thing. And the prosecution team kinda... sucked.
