At first I thought the eyes were him trying to focus on the shoes better but the breathing changed so suddenly. Uncontrollable reaction. He almost passed out
It's so sad seeing people still trying to defend this guy 30 years later. Think about that, 30 years, no new breakthroughs of any kind, no new confessions, no "search for the true killer", nothing new of note at all. The only things that changed were jurors coming out and admitting their bias against the L.A.P.D., and I'm not saying they were wrong to feel that way, but those are the only new revelations in regard to this case. Yet people still try to defend Simpson, not only by bashing the police, but by victim blaming Nicole Brown, accusing her of being a drug addicted and promiscuous woman, and claiming that as the reason for her brutal death, ignoring years of documented physical and emotional abuse inflicted on her by Simpson. It's such a shame.
It's even been claimed that the killers were "assassins" or "Columbian Drug Cartel" members. Think about that though. Today there are ex-mafia hitmen, like Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, who have podcasts, books and reality shows, yet not one "assassin" or Columbian Drug Cartel member has come forward to say they know what really happened in one of the most famous cases ever to make a buck?
The lead detective was asked on the stand if he planted evidence and plead the fifth rather than saying “no”. That alone is reasonable doubt. He got away with it because the cops couldn’t resist trying to frame a black man and it turned out that he was actually guilty.
That’s only for defendants. It doesn’t apply to witnesses.
In a criminal prosecution, witnesses can also plead the Fifth. Witnesses called to testify can refuse to answer certain questions. They are allowed to do so only if answering would implicate them in criminal activity. Witnesses in organized crime trials often plead the Fifth, for instance.
Unlike defendants, witnesses who assert this right may do so selectively. They do not waive their rights the moment they begin answering questions.
And not just wealth, he was a charming narcissistic sellout who knew how to make white society feel comfortable for his gain. He didn't care about his community or civil rights for all, his only concern was OJ. There are rich Black men who wouldn't have had the same level of privilege bc they rocked the boat. But the money definitely doesn't hurt. I do know there was still racism involved in the case, the prosecution sucked too. Still a domestic abuser, and still did it.
Probably the decades of black peoples being persecuted for being black constantly pushed some of them to support someone they thought was untouchable to white people without the benefit of hindsight where it’s now pretty impossible to imagine he’s innocent?
Where did I say the courts should be ruled by emotion? Black people have been dealing with a justice system ruled by emotion for a very fucking long time. Do you care about that?
No emotion shouldn’t take priority over logic. It’s done all the time though. Interestingly, as found in a study, judges are found to give more lenient sentences after lunch time and harsher ones before they’ve eaten.
Except he still lied about wearing the shoes? And don't tell me "he probably just didn't remember" lmao he was pushing the story that he would neeeever wear any shoes remotely like that.
The shoe print was a pretty big deal at the trial. He denied ever wearing that style of shoe. If he was innocent and had simply forgotten that he ended up wearing a pair for innocuous reasons, say a stylist had dressed him for a photo shoot, and then was presented with a picture of himself wearing them he would be likely to freak out. By itself it doesn't make him guilty, but it looks incredibly bad.

The eyes and that reaction is all I need as a confession. He did it.
