“I also did not see any way O.J. would be found not guilty”
Two things that most people did not consider in the OJ trial.
1. Elizabeth Loftus, expert in selecting highly suggestible people was hired by the OJ lawyers to help select the jurors. She really knows her stuff, but has used it for the wrong purpose. This is the same evaluation techniques a stage hypnotist utilizes to select their subjects from an audience.
2. A friend of mine is an LA detective. He actually took Mark Furman’s case load when he left, worked with Mark and had the same boss. He mentioned to me that some of the blood collected on the murder scene on a sock had the chemical preservative that is placed in test tubes to preserve blood samples. Thus some of the blood was planted. He told me who he thought did it, but he was not sure. It was someone on the police force. That caused all evidence to be questioned.
Seals who assisted in the pilot production volunteered to come up from San Diego where the pilot was filmed and testify on behalf of the prosecution. The L.A. prosecutor's office declined and said "it was unnecessary." Either they were completely sure that they had an air tight case, or they knew the not guilty verdict months before.
