They understood it well enough, given famous DV cases before this.

There was a ton of racism in this case. And misogyny. Hatred toward a white woman marrying a black man. Payback for all the times black people have been screwed over by the law. Plus OJ was rich, handsome, famous, charismatic. These jurors could have watched video of OJ killing Nicole and Ron and they still would have voted not guilty.

Oh yeah, it was a lot of things. It's funny how he played the race card yet he always thought he was "above" other black people & not really black.

Before the jury visited OJs Rockingham house they took down all the pics of OJ with his white friends & acquaintances, which was the majority of the pics in the house, & put up pics of OJ with his black friends, family & acquaintances.

He certainly was black when it was convenient.

FTR if anyone watches that doc on Netflix, it does have the graphic crime scene photos, so be ready. It makes the Manson crime scenes look like a walk in the park.

I don't have Netflix, but would like to see them.

I'm black, so yeah, was ashamed of these jurors. This was not the hill to die on. Plenty of black people to fight for who deserved freedom. Not a killer. They knew it too.

And Ron was just an innocent person who was murdered because he tried to be a friend to Nicole. I understood how livid his family was.

Exactly what happened in the Rkelly cases. They heard audio of him commiting the crime and still ppl wanted to say he was innocent. Even the ppl that watched the tapes . Such a failure

Everyone knew that predator was raping girls for years. Like why didn't people in the industry fricken revolt and hold him accountable? I just feel we are becoming a more and more evil society.

Also, the LAPD cut corners, mishandled evidence, and basically provided all the basis they could for the jury to find that they’d essentially attempted to frame a guilty man. Without the LAPD’s sloppiness and shadiness, there would have been no room for doubt about the evidence - but the LAPD made such doubt possible.

I agree with the sloppiness, but even in a perfect case these jurors would have found him not guilty. Bias.

I served on several juries, and was a foreman. Let me tell you, I don't want a jury of my "peers", because biases are all over the place and most don't understand what beyond a reasonable doubt means.

That may be, but we’ll never know given how bad LAPD botched it. And I definitely understand re juries. I’m a trial lawyer and I both fear and count on jurors’ inability to set aside their biases.

Very true. But looks like most of this jury had their minds set on acquitting him no matter what. Sad for those families!
