At this point I think he has actually convinced himself that someone else did it.

Tbf, I actually find it more believable that his son did it and he was protecting him.

I didnt let it change me. It did for a while, Simpson said. I was angry for a while, but I treat everybody the way I want to be treated.
It's like he lives in another reality. Just once before he dies I'd like to hear him speak frankly and honestly about what happened.

Its such a stupid thing to say even if he is innocent though. Like lets assume hes innocent and some unknown person committed the murders. Why would the unknown person be planning to do anything to O.J. 30 years later? And if they for whatever reason were planning something, why would O.J. being outside of L.A. stop them?

Back in the '90s, I couldn't understand why OJ being found not guilty was somehow an important rebuke of the injustices that the legal system put on African Americans. Pretty much everyone knew he did it, as it was basically overwhelming in terms of evidence. Letting someone get away with murder doesn't seem like a valid way to rebuke injustice.

The reason he got away is because the police, because if their racism, bungled the case and tainted a lot of evidence. They're the ones responsible for him going free.

not really. The evidence was overwhelming despite the literal nazi police

He got off because

  1. He was rich, massively beloved celebrity
  2. A lot of people loved seeing a black guy unfairly beat the system after centuries of the system unfairly beating black guys.
Neither of these 2 factors can be downplayed or dismissed. Take away either and he would have been found guilty.

A lot of people consisered what OJ did to be "revenge" on some kind of national/cultural level as sick as that sounds.

It's a dark chapter of US history for sure. Legally, morally, culturally. Ron Goldman was never treated like a murder victim, he was treated like a punchline.

A ton of the media coverage about the case was put on how bitchy the white female prosectuion lawyer with bad hair seemed. Rather than the fact OJ killed 2 people and everything she said was right.

Police suck and should be changed but "OJ got off because a cop was racist." is a complete mischaracteraization of events and attitudes

Really, so five year old you in the UK knew what was happening in LA 26 years ago?

The fact you think the case only effected LA and wasn't massive national news every day for months on end (hell the trial was literally filmed) says it all about how little you know about

They had to air the verdict in schools due to fear parnets would keep their kids home that day to watch the verdict at home. You're probably too young to know what pre modern Internet times were like but it was easier for an entire nation to focus or talk about one thing than it is now

Also note how just like with Anti-vaxxers, when faced with facts you can't respond to, the guy with no argument or point resorts to ranting about the UK.

The point was that if what you claim on these boards is actually true you would have been a little kid over 6,000 miles away in another country. You would have absolutely no idea who OJ Simpson was or anything about the trial. So you trying to lecture us about the effect of the OJ trial on our country 26 years later based on stuff you just read on the internet five minutes before posting is a joke.

The ESPN OJ Documentary is fantastic and highly recommended.

This was "get one back for Rodney." I used to think that way when I was younger and this was going on, and then I saw the crime scene photos of Goldman and Nicole Brown. You can almost see her spinal cord.

Also the Netflix(?) mini series dramataization of it is pretty good. Although obviously sensationalized

He got off because the Police station was racist as fuck. This was a time when the LA Riots were still fresh in everybody's mind. All the evidence was there. It's just that OJ's legal team was smart enough to let the prosecution fuck itself.

He pretty much incriminates himself in the interview for the book (that was only released years later because the original printing and that interview were pulled, and the Goldman family got the right to the book because OJ was dodging the payout from the civil suit)
