That post was supposed to be funny, but
it's funny to me that you focused on the
line you did, but let the next go swoosh.

OJ was quite entertaining in the Naked Gun movies and in his prime was the second best running back who ever lived. IMO, that more than makes up for killing an ex-wife and a waiter.
I know that the prime suspect was found not guilty - a verdict which I agree with ("if it doesn't fit you must acquit").
I just wondered if anyone has some theories about who the actual murderer was.
Here is one persons theory.
My theory and it would not go along with that lawyer is: OJ did it, but he didn't do it alone. For many years I did hold on to the belief he was innocent, and yet I just have to feel he literally got away with murder.
This theory isn't new. I've heard it a million times before.
Look...O.J. did it and that's all there is to it. No need to dredge that crap up anymore.
You say that OJ did the deed and that jury said he didn't. I like to support out legal system so I will say that I agreed with the jury and think that Johnny did a great job of defending with a little help from some other really good lawyers.
So did the jury at the Emmit Till and Medgar Evers trials. But i still used my common sense.
It was basically jury nullification in my book. Look...it's not something i harp on. I was living in Europe during the O.J. trial and i paid it no mind for the most part. Didn't really care about it then, and don't care about it now. But from what i can piece together, dude is guilty.
That said, he walked. And i can't say that it changed my life in any meaningful way regardless. I took it with a grain of salt and figured that he'd get his comeuppance one day.
Well...looks like he got it.
I sat on my butt through the whole trial and really believed that the jury was right. Of course, there was just a bit of race involved in the whole thing and many really thought there was in the makeup of the jury.
My wife will go to her grave thinking that Goodman had it done and then managed to break OJ forever while his family got everything OJ had. I don't really agree with that but I did think that OJ's team of lawyers did one hell of a job of defending him.
There is absolutely no question: Orenthal James Simpson.
I've been practicing law for over thirty years. At some time in my life I would like to have a trial in which the evidence is so overwhelmingly in my favor as the Simpson evidence was in favor of the prosecution, but I doubt that I ever will.
The State's lawyers did a pretty poor job of presenting the case and the defense people did a great job of defending. Cochran was just more than those two people could handle.
To see the truth you must look at the jury. 9 blacks, 1 Hispanic, and 2 elderly white women. Then you can understand how OJ was found innocent. The evidence overwhelmingly pointed to OJ.
Did you watch the trial on TV? I did and I came out believing that what I wanted to be the case really was. Yep, I watched the whole thing because it was about all that was on TV back then.
You say that OJ did the deed and that jury said he didn't. I like to support out legal system so I will say that I agreed with the jury and think that Johnny did a great job of defending with a little help from some other really good lawyers.
The jury didn't say he didn't do it. They only said there wasn't enough evidence. See the moderator's post that says "not guilty" isn't the same as "innocent". You don't seem to understand the basic principles of the legal system.
