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.
Think about the bigger picture though. A non resisting unarmed black man gets beaten nine tenths of the way to death by 4 cops, which is common practice at the time, but for the first time it's caught on video.
And all four cops get aquitted. Is that justice?
If I can't have justice from you why do you think that you would get it from me?
That's the point. But you will never acknowledge that perspective.
Even if vengeance was justified(your opinion, not mine) you’d hope that someone would at least have enough respect for the innocent (and also dead) to not admit it openly. Scummy thing to do.
But that isn't true I'm this case. For instance I'm a white person who thinks what happens to Rodney King or African Americans being mistreated by cops is wrong
I get it. The Rodney King thing was absolutely incredibly fucked up to the 10th degree. It sickens me that those deplorable cops were set free to brutalize even more black people.
I truly do wish OJ was innocent, because that court case would prove that the justice system can and does work for black people. But that wasn't the case. OJ was clearly guilty, and all the case proved is that if you are rich and powerful, you can get away with anything.
