No slick lawyer will get him out of this trial

There was nothing slick about Johnnie Cochran. It was an open appeal to racial solidarity.

the murders were in June 1994, so OJ lived about 30 more years

he served 9 years in prison in Nevada

he was in jail for 15 months before and during the murder trial

so he was free and out of jail for about 20 of those 30 years

Maybe OJ had Dr. Kevorkian's phone number. (typed in my best OJ voice as Det. Nordberg)

May he burn in he** for eternity.

He got away with killing two White people, one of whom was the mother of his children. Fred Goldman, father of Ron Goldman, used to come on local radio - said he’d chase OJ to his grave.

Any $$ from OJs estate should go to the Goldman family to settle the civil judgement.

Yes it was, but it is important to remember that L.A.P.D was pretty well known to be less than on the up and up when it came to things like planting evidence. A few years after the O.J. trial L.A. had to pay millions to criminals the L.A.P.D had faked evidence to gain convictions.

Was it unreasonable to doubt Fuhrman’s finding of the gloves? Maybe not so much. Not saying O.J. was innocent but the case was pretty much circumstantial.

On this Earth, he may have gotten away with it, But, in reality, he did not get away with it. He will stand before the most impartial Judge in the entire universe. And if he did it, which I think he did, he’s gonna pay for it.

Circumstantial evidence is often more reliable than eyewitnesses. O.J. was guilty beyond peradventure of doubt.
