O.J.: Made in America - Page 5 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I dunno, i was thinking about this.

The hardest part would be coming up with the glove. Everyone else would have had to miss it at the crime scene (iirc the CSIs were working it for 2 hours before Furhman got there) and he would have had to immediately have planned to frame OJ, not knowing if the evidence would point to a different killer and make him look ridiculous.

I agree it seems really unlikely. But so does OJ somehow being organized enough to dispose of a bunch of bloody clothes and leaving trace amounts of blood - from a horrendously bloody crime scene - while somehow deciding it would be a good idea to pitch the glove behind Kato's bungalow. Like the cops wouldn't look back there.

Yeah OJ was dealt a great hand with the case downtown but it was still there for the taking if so much of the case wasn't run terribly.

Maybe less, but he'd still be a heavy favorite to be acquitted. And it's not really results-oriented. The proclivities of the LA central jury pool aren't a mystery. I've made a living off of knowing what they are.

From what has been presented in this series, Van Atter (sp?), seems to have been a far bigger stumblebum in the investigation itself than Fuhrman. Fuhrman's missteps were his stupidly well-documented history of racism and perjury.

Ok that makes a lot of sense. Kato did say he heard banging and thought it was an earthquake.

Furhman did nothing wrong...on the Simpson case. He obviously had major issues beforehand and needed counseling. But he did not plant the glove. That's ridiculous. He was the easy fall guy for the defense so they could show systemic racism in the LAPD.

I thought the doc should've talked about Goldman and Nicole's relationship more rather than just go with the whole bringing sunglasses to her thing.

It was said they dated for a few months before that.

Here is 1994 LATimes article on their relationship.

I thought that was already hashed out a few years ago? Seems like OJ is just trying to get in the news.

He probably thinks it is absolutely mindboggling that Robert Kardashian's family is incredibly famous.

i wish there was more insight to how well/poorly the prosecution and defense did. the fun thing about 2016 is that thered be a huge betting market on the outcome, and maybe they would have made it a lock for the defense once the jury was decided. tho from what i can tell, most people thought he'd be guilty, so i imagine it would reflect that throughout.

back to my original question: didn't the prosecution (or maybe the police) make a huge oversight by not finding the bruno magli shoes? what would have happened if that came out for the criminal rather than civil trial? only 250 of them existed.

I could be wrong.

Anyone entertaining the notion that this isn't the most cut-and-dry case maybe ever, that OJ butchered these 2 people, is unbelievable to me.

Are there 2 episodes per "part"? All I see is episodes in the on-demand.

Ep 2 was kind of draggy - I remember this mostly and the other sports going on at the same time was not really a factor - the OJ cases was by far the biggest draw for TV..lol talking about the rangers winning the title or the soccer going on

this.. He could have recorded the act.. recorded a confession.. I mean jesus Christ.. that letter that Kardashian read and the entirety of the chase scream guilt.. and that's before the colossal amount of evidence.

The jury consultant was the MVP.. they comprised a jury of idiots to be blunt (racist ban lol)

People that believe in vast conspiracies generally live in fantasy-land.. the OJ jury is on a par with the infowar-types that are certain, hours after the Pulse nightclub massacre, that it was an orchestrated hoax

"OJ's image was superimposed on that video.. his confession was coerced."

How did I ever miss/forget Shapiro's comment of "Not only did we play the race card; we dealt it from the bottom of the deck"?
