Current Events > Did you watch the oj simpson trial in the 90s?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Nah. Didn't even know about it until the mid 00s.

No. I was old enough to understand what was going on, but I couldn't care less. I was too into watching pro wrestling pretty much non-stop during that time. And then it got mixed up into the stuff with Piper and Goldust

A few minutes here and there. Didn't really care about it

Interesting that I'm the 5th post yet first person to vote lol

I was 2 in 1994

I had to. It kept taking off The Price Is Right.

I was aware of it. When he got acquitted I thought that meant he was proven innocent. (I was 8.)

I saw highlights & shit on the news, but I didn't actively watch the trial. Crazy reaction to the verdict-- I went to a high school that was half black & half white, and that was quite an eye opening experience.

No, but I heard about it a lot. I knew all the references, but I didn't care, and wasn't old enough to know the significance of it.

i was only 2 1/2 when the decision was made

so no

oh really? what happened at your high school though?

I was 6 at the time, I wouldn't be interested in it.

I didn't even exist.. lel

yeah it was awesome.

No

I was probably 2-3 years old so no, was born in 93

I was a toddler, so no.

I was 7 and I don't recall watching it myself but I'm like 90% sure I remember my parents watching it and reacting

yes, i was young but i remember following the story and watching Kato Kahlin(sp?) give testimony and it really seemed like OJ was guilty. I even remember the Bronco chase live on TV. Yea, we really followed that case for sure.

I still remember the theme music

Not really, but I remember a teacher announcing the verdict during lunch, cause she was listening to it on a walkman.

Hmm nah I hadn't been born yet

Toddlers aren't exactly known for being particularly invested in the news, so no, I didn't watch it back then.

i remember there being extensive news coverage about it, but i was too young to really follow or care

Hell no. Too busy being a 11 to 12 year in in 1994 to 1995, most likely playing something on the snes, genesis/suffering through sega cd load times and not giving a shit about adult problems. I did remember when the chase was happening and seeing my mom and dad occasionally glance at that.

I didn't watch it on TV but it was impossible to avoid being conscious of it.

Yes, but only because there was no fucking avoiding it. I was 12 years old and couldn't really demand the channel to be changed.

I knew about it, but really didn't pay any attention to it as I was too young to care.

I was semi interested for a little while in between gaming and school but it was literally all that was on the news for what seemed like forever. I will always remember some of my racist ass schoolmates saying OJ was guilty as sin, but I'm sure today they are doing triple time defending Donnie from his crimes.

so you personally don't think he did it?

I was 11. I knew of it but didn't really care. Then wrestlemania did kind of a spoof of it with goldust and Roddy piper lol.

'yes'

I wasn't glued to it, but still remember a lot.
