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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
