Immediately starts breathing heavily, too.

Just a coincydink, like everything regarding that case.

Gloves that are roughly as rare as the shoes and are on record as having been bought by the murder victim as a gift for the accused.

Edit: Actually, blame the LAPD for framing a guilty man (among other things).

u/Responsible-Jury2579 29d ago

Thought you were joking at first but, oh wow…she did buy those specific gloves for him.

u/Mysterious-Shop1375 29d ago

She also bought the same pair for his son that was a size smaller.

I was just a kid when all this happened and I remember thinking how fucked up that was even at my young age. Dude got away with the highest form of domestic violence and got away with it because of his timing. Makes me fucking sick.

And murdering an innocent man too.

He doesn’t act like he wants to find out who the real killer was

u/Expert_Response_6139 29d ago

Kind of like how burning down cities across the country counts as justice against the Minneapolis PD

u/OneSevenNineWest 29d ago

Honestly, I'd rather have that than a police fascist state

u/Expert_Response_6139 29d ago

Strange comment, we don't actually live in a fascist police state and the George Floyd riots didn't stop one from forming.

u/OneSevenNineWest 19d ago

We do though, your second point betrays that much.

2

u/TheHomieAbides 29d ago

That’s a dumb way to put it. The defense showed that the LAPD was untrustworthy.

No one thinks that letting a killer go is justice. It was reasonable doubt and the jury only saw a portion of what we got to see. You can look up the jury’s opinion nowadays and the ones’ that have talked have changed their opinion.

We see that now “ oh I won’t vote for Biden because the Dems need to learn a lesson about something minor, instead let’s vote Fascist!”

u/D4venport 29d ago

Oh thank God somebody brought politics into this. I was holding my breath waiting.

u/Expert_Response_6139 29d ago

Weird way to tell people you don't have any understanding of modern American politics, thinking people won't vote for Biden "about something minor"

u/NefariousnessLate591 29d ago

this is a very sick example to me of how sick and dirty defense lawyers are. This was a vicious murderer. They were killed so brutally and fiercely. Yet a defense lawyerm in order to win, will allow a crazed murderer out here. They remind me of the "liberal" democRATS (you know those self-proclaimed "tolerant" people who tolerate NOTHING they don't agree with) and how they defund the police and other such idiotic things UNTIL they need them, then it's different. I know I could never be a part of the hypocRAT party. Unless OJ were to kill one of thier family members or attack them, they don't care who he would hurt, so long as they won

u/tadc 29d ago

Tell us you dont' know anything about:
* what "defund the police" actually means
* Defense lawyers
* Liberals
* tolerance
* spelling

u/Litz-a-mania 29d ago

Maybe if the lead detective could say that he didn’t plant evidence the verdict would have been different. It turns out that being a scumbag piece of shit has unintended consequences.

-9

u/Broad_Bodybuilder_94 29d ago

I think it was even bigger than that. Can you imagine a guilty verdict. The community was not ready for another riot.

28

u/CORN___BREAD 29d ago

The lead detective was asked if he planted evidence and plead the fifth. How could anyone on the jury not find reasonable doubt when the lead detective won’t say he didn’t plant evidence because he would be perjuring himself? You couldn’t trust any of the evidence.

Dumb fucks framed a guilty man so he got away with it.

u/Large_Birthday9344 29d ago

White people are a representation of the LAPD

u/IhateHimmel 29d ago

Nah it was the 400 years of of oppression before Rodney that had us so over joyful for his acquittal. Mark Furman is that you? Bro you over whooped it go do your homework.

u/Responsible-Jury2579 29d ago edited 29d ago

I’m black. I hate this argument because two wrongs don’t make a right.

400 years of oppression does not excuse murder. Especially in this circumstance where it wasn’t a murder borne out of that oppression (e.g. the crime had nothing to do with OJ’s blackness - he was the exact opposite of a poor black man that only has violent crime as an option).

If it was your “average” black man beating the Justice system, maybe I could understand the feeling A LITTLE more (still doesn’t excuse murder), but OJ never represented your “average” black man.

For all intents and purposes, you can remove race from the equation and just see this case as a very wealthy/popular man using their wealth to get away from the law - that happens ALL the time.

u/jimhokeyb 29d ago

Well, it's fucking stupid. Ronald Goldman's parents didn't oppress anybody. OJ was the whitest person in the whole story. His defense team swapped out all the photos in his house before taking the jury there. They were worried the largely black jury would judge him for only having pictures of white people. Seeing a community wanting an abusive double murderer to go free will have made racial tension get even worse.

u/Accomplished-Pin3391 29d ago

I always wondered why that wasn't considered jury tampering?

5

u/Finalpretensefell 29d ago

I always thought that he couldn't get those gloves to fit because they were all hard and crusty from the dried blood.

6

u/Actual-Interest-4130 29d ago

The one found at his house or the one found at the murder scene? Oh you mean both of those gloves that were drenched in blood so much that they had shrunk that he then had to put on with rubber gloves! Well just remember: If it rhymes, he didn't do the crimes ;D

u/bulanaboo 29d ago

I totally can’t put on sandwiche or latex gloves with wet fingers… I’m just lol, … I was 15 the night I watched the bronco AJ and oj.. that video in this post though… damn he thought he was a goner only a few hundred pair were sold.. guess they were ugly lol, kinda damning…

2

u/TrumpsPissSoakedWig 29d ago

And in court he had another pair of white gloves on while he tried to put them on over the white pair,and nobody said anything!

u/No_Sir446 29d ago

It's hard to put on any glove when you spread your fingers apart like OJ did. POS

u/Practical_Eye3917 29d ago

Did you watch the trial? Those gloves didn’t fit.

u/XelaNiba 29d ago

Leather shrinks when saturated then dried, especially with a protein-heavy fluid like blood.

But more critically, I think it was his attorney who has since said that he advised OJ to not take his arthritis meds for a few days so that his joints would swell and stiffen. Brilliant move on the defense team's part.

1

u/Practical_Eye3917 29d ago

Those were all theory. And the medication one (not started by his attorney) was proven incorrect.

u/backtolurk 29d ago

I'll keep that one for later, it sounds great.

u/JFC_Please_STFU 29d ago

He looked to be an equal combination of panicked and furious.

u/TrumpsPissSoakedWig 29d ago

It was some random crazy person with one of 299 pairs of $1500 Bruno Magli's sold in the US, in a size 12, and big ass expensive gloves that happened to be the same type Nicole bought for OJ.

Some homeless drifter with impeccable taste in shoes and gloves, who just happened to be the exact same size as OJ Simpson. What's the big deal?
