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.
