I figured it was due to the overwhelming amount of evidence against him. And the car chase, and OJ holding a gun to his own head, etc. But why would this be exclusive to white people? Everyone of every color should have come to the same conclusion. What!? Man I did NOT know the details of this case!

EnterTheTekken 10/27/18 10:56:48 AM #58:	What was funny about that ESPN documentary is that when he was found not guilty, he tried to go back to white people and they were like "go fuck yourself, murderer." So not even two weeks after that, he's seen dancing in a traditional Dashiki on some public access gospel program trying to endear himself again to black folks. That mask didn't hold for too long. <cite>EnterTheTekken posted [p:911258893] in Majority o...

Broseph_Stalin 10/27/18 11:20:19 AM #59:	The OJ case happened a couple years after the Rodney King beating and Latasha Harlins murder. His legal team wanted to exploit that. One of the detectives involved in the case was caught on tape using racial slurs against black people and plead the fifth when asked if he planted evidence.

Nidhoggr posted... ad_Talking_He posted... can people please stop saying found innoncent. its not guilty, theres a massive difference What's the difference? one says theres enough evidence to prove guilt. one says there isnt (which doesnt mean innocent, just means cant be proven guilty) So should we change it to "not guilty until proven guilty" then? Not guilty was the verdict in that case. He's still under the presumption of innocence according to case law. A jury can't find you innocent.

Yeah, the O.J. case is an excellent example of how damaging poor police conduct is: the rampant distrust created by the LAPD's conduct towards black people in general helped enable a guilty man to get away with murder. <cite>ElatedVenusaur posted [p:911260074] in Majority o...
