Also, after this many years you would think that if he didn't do it he might have spent an ounce of effort or a minute of his time trying to find out who killed the woman he supposedly loved.
Police detectives say when someone plans a murder, there are 100 things to think of, a murderer will be lucky to have thought about 50.
In all the gang movies, including the true-story gang movies advised by the gang members themselves like Goodfellas, the gangster thinks of about 3 or 4 things and they always get away with it anyway. Jimmy the Gent just casually starts knocking everyone off at the end.
Mainly the logistics are whose car do they stuff the body in the trunk, where will they go dispose of it. However the Simpson case perp, whoever it was, didn't even have the sense to do that.
Fortunately, what you believe doesn't make a whit of difference.
It's also common sense
No, it isn't. It doesn't meet the facts, and a civil jury found him liable for their deaths on the balance of probabilities. Your views are nothing more than your projections.
I have no problems going with the not guilty verdict, the proof just wasn't there. That is our system how we do it.
This is also how the system does it. In 1997, a civil jury found Simpson liable for wrongful death in the double murder. Simpson was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages to the Brown and Goldman families.
civil juries are always ridiculously biased towards the sympathetic side...which in this case was the sweet innocent white folk. They were also swayed by the overwhelming media outrage at OJ's acquital.

Juries can get it wrong. It's not a perfect system.
How can at a time 47 year old O.J with a bad knee take down two significantly younger physically fit people? Nicole was 35 years old and ran 9 miles a day, Ron Goldman was 25 years old and reportedly a black belt in karate. It just doesn't add up.
A 250lb all-time great athlete at 47 armed with a knife can 'take down' a 95lb female hobby jogger and a 'karate guy' in 5 seconds. Karate was proven to be a crock of bull at least 28 years ago with UFC 1. It doesn't help you, or likely even hinders you, in an unarmed street fight, let alone in a fight to the death with a huge MF armed with a knife.

The way wiseguy types dealt with Jimmy Hoffa Sr., it seems as if wiseguys thought of 101 things. Then there was Paul Castellano's untimely ending, Sparks Steak House, midtown Manhattan, 1985. Wiseguys acted as if they wanted the entire world to see.
Some posters are exaggerating O.J.'s health and fitness, early 1990. Think about elite 1500m guys who race 1500m at a high level until their mid-thirties. Most are done, used up. From Pop Warner until the end of O.J.'s football career, he gave it all on the field. He was used up physically. That murder scene was a young man murder scene.

I've served on two different civil juries. One went for the plaintiff, the other for the defendant.
But I think that we should keep in mind that multiple things can be true.
OJ can be the person that committed the crime.
The police can have planted evidence (the blood on the socks, for example) in an effort to nail the case down, but not understanding how blood splatters, they can get it wrong.
OJ can kill one person and then catch the second by surprise and in spite of his age he can stab that person and end that fight before it really begins.
And a cop can be racist as the day is long and can use the N-word all the time.
The glove can be OJ's. And the shoes.
And OJ can stop taking his blood pressure medication to make sure the gloves won't fit.
And the judge can bend over backward to favor the defense.
And the crime scene investigators can violate every rule of good evidence collection (failing to change gloves while touching item after item and bagging them).
Really challenging ourselves to think through everything OJ-related is an exercise in embracing the complexity that arises when a lot of things can be true even though at first blush they appear contradictory.

Of course……yo. Every person accused of murdering an ex wife and alleged lover immediately goes on a long, slow ride….. gun to head, with fellow thug A.C. Cowlings. Hahahahahahahaha……..
OJ has the Rodney King attack to thank for his verdict.

Didn’t OJ try to run away from the crime in a white Bronco, crying that he was sorry and had a gun to his head? That doesn’t sound guilty…..

That was the thing for me.
Everybody loved OJ back then. We all knew him as the Hall of Fame athlete, sports commentator, and actor in movies and commercials. When the murders happened, my initial thought was unlikely that someone as famous and admired as him could have done something so horrible. But, then I saw the chase live on TV and knew it was true. An innocent person would not have been in that situation and acted that way. It was obvious.

Yes. The first jury got it badly wrong. The civil jury corrected that mistake.

If you weren't on the jury you have no idea that they were swayed by anything but the facts.
