“A jury found OJ not guilty — therefore he didn’t kill his wife -— end of story. “

Actually, another jury found him guilty of civil crime, and fined OJ. However, since he was found not guilty by a jury in a criminal trial, he did not go to jail.

However, the physical evidence in the OJ trial was significantly different than in this case. Had OJ been white, he’d have been convicted.

_____________________________________

There is no finding of guilt in a civil proceeding. There is no such thing as a "civil crime".

And, the point is that, as shown by the OJ trial, an aquital or a decision not to prosecute due to lack of sufficient evidence to convict does not mean that the person is innocent.
