+1

I was born in 1987 too and I remember the case being a big thing, but none of the details.

I know on one of Simmons' podcasts with Al Michaels, they talked about OJ and the infamous Baba Booey call as Michaels was the one who informed Peter Jennings that it was a prank call, haha.

Spoiler:
1 He could afford the best lawyers who out-manoevered the prosecution on every turn .
2 The judge allowed them to play the race card which worked well on a mostly black jury,
3 The prosecution screwed up badly . First they presented a star witness Det. Fuhrman who was exposed as a racist, then they asked OJ to try on a glove over a rubber glove and no surprise he couldn't get it to fit.
4 Tons of reasonable doubt was presented to the jury so they acquitted him.

This makes sense, given that he was married to one the worst people in the history of the earth.

I hate that they keep going to the well on that, like we don't know the evil that sprang out of Robert's balls.

What's up with travolta's plastic surgery? Is that makeup for the series or is permanently disfigured?

Wasn't too familiar with the case but after watching several documentaries it appears that EDTA was found in some instances of the blood which would mean that somebody planted it there. Wouldn't that be enough of a reasonable doubt to not find him guilty? In Making a Murderer they make a big issue out of this that if the results come back positive for the EDTA in the blood that would mean the cops were definitely trying to frame him and the whole case for the prosecution would collapse. In OJs case if it's positive and then one piece of evidence is tainted then how could you be 100% sure for a guilty verdict?

contaminated blood was a huge point the defense brought up over and over. funny thing is contamination would make it less likely that OJ's matched it, not more likely. but somehow that logic just completely went out the window

at least at that time, edta tests could not differentiate between whether the edta came from the blood sample or from paint (such as from the gate).

That sample had been on the gate for 30 days before it was collected.

The real problem with the "planting" argument is that the blood in question was noted by a number of police at the scene on the night of the murders - Fuhrman in particular noted it in his book right after he did his initial walk through.

Really surprised at how much of the acting I'm enjoying, and from actors I generally don't enjoy.

An interesting documentary made by the BBC about the murders

LOL that private detective has to be trolling right?
what an absolute moron.

some highlights:

who cares about the pile of physical evidence if OJ was guilty he wouldn't have spoken with police or agreed to be photographed/finger printed

he's a single father (the PI) and he could never murder his ex wife (esp with the kids inside the house) and so somehow that has relevance to whether OJ did it.

he literally said that the murders were so gruesome no parent could have done it.

he also says that he heard from some random ppl that oj was "bothered by the sight of blood"

and my absolute favorite line: "ron goldman was no avg opponent, he was trained in karate".

seriously watch it my lil description doesn't do his idiocy justice.

pretty hilarious tho that he has so much free time (I mean that makes sense no one in their right mind is gonna pay this guy to investigate anything) that instead of having his own cases to work on he decides to seek out the real killers in the oj case pro bono.

That seems wildly far-fetched to me. Occam's Razor tells me OJ killed his ex-wife.

ahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahah OMG they just had a "karate expert" show how the fight went down between ron and the murderer.

omg that fight reenactment is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

ive seen ppl talk about how the earth is really flat and 911 was an inside job who sound less ******ed than these ppl.

holy **** this is incredible.

Liking this a lot so far. I remember it well, the day of the Bronco chase was a truly surreal moment in American history.

Sarah Paulson is really really good in this. Probably the most compelling character to me so far. Loving Travolta as well, he's hilarious.

awwwwwwwww did I hurt your feelings by pointing out how insanely stupid the video was that u claimed was interesting?

I don't see how anyone with a functioning brain could watch the scene where they have a self proclaimed karate expert "reenact the fight between ron goldman and his murderer" and not think it was a parody.

that was literally one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

and the so called private detective on which the majority of the documentary is based is a total moron.

the video would be brilliant if it was a joke....

it is massively entertaining tho so I highly recommend ppl watch it, at least the 1st half.

get ready to have every white person itt blow up on you for some reason.

seeing video of reactions to the verdict where all the white people are screaming and crying made me think like, "why do you care so much? what is this trial to you?" goldman's family crying, ok, that makes some sense. but randos on the street? why did they have such a hardon for putting this rich famous black man in chains? I have a guess but most of you wont like it
