I agree. I think my parents were high because they had NO idea I read “Helter Skelter” when I was young. Not a book for young readers.

“I thought he died years ago.”

me too, and I’m surprised he was not even older. And I don’t remember him being on OJ’s legal team, but didn’t he defend Patty Hearst?

there was no way that jury was going to convict Simpson.

Especially when Mark Furman bragged to that female Nashville Tennessean reporter about how LAPD framed suspects by planting and tampering with evidence.

What an idiot. The entire world found out the LAPD's reputation for corruption and malfeasance was well deserved. All because some fool was trying to seduce some broad.

I’ll take a classic Citroen DS21 over that...that looks like the result of a one-nighter between a DS and a 1960s Detroit muscle car.

With 9 black jurors out of 12, even a full-color video of OJ slashing the victims’ throats wouldn’t have made a damned bit of difference.

While in hindsight this may seem true, if there had been one stalwart hold out, there would have been a mistrial.

What has always bugged me about the prosecution is that glove thing. I'm so old, my classmates and I used to wear white gloves to church and to school proms. Every pair made of fine leather had to be washed by hand, at which time the leather would shrink up about half its size and turn brown. You had to carefully stretch it out bit by bit to make the glove white again and big enough to fit your hand again.

So if someone dropped a blood-soaked glove, and it was already brown leather, it would have been hard to tell that it had shriveled in size. Unless someone knew that wet glove leather shrinks, that glove should never have been the key to an "acquit" verdict, no matter how telegenically it rhymed with "fit."

If that glove shrunk, the verdict stunk.

“if there had been one stalwart hold out, there would have been a mistrial.”

There were two white women who voted guilty on the first ballot. One was named Ansie Aschenbach. She has said that she believes Simpson guilty and regrets her vote. Why did she cave? Who the hell knows...

It takes courage to hold out against a mob, and the Juice’s lawyers were obviously good at filtering out any non-black person with strength of character.
