People seem to act like OJ is the only person to ever beat a murder charge. Happens every damn day.

Money + Dream Team + race card + Mark Fuhrman (perjury anyone?) + planted glove (Fuhrman plead the 5th when asked if he planted evidence) + inept prosecution team (having OJ try on the glove was a major mistake -- lead to the famous "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.") = not guilty

Do I think he did it? Hell yes he did. Did the prosecution and police do a good job? Hell no.

Mark Fuhrman should have never lied and should have never planted evidence. That is enough to create doubt about the entire case.

With Henry Fonda's help, the jurors eventually come to a Not Guilty verdict based on a couple of factors. One factor being that the eyewitness might have had poor eyesight. Also, the murder weapon/knife found at the scene, though identical to a knife purchased by the suspect, was not a one-of-a-kind knife.

The movie supposedly showed that when there's compassion and rational thinking, the right path can be found. But the strange thing is, the movie didn't work for me. See, the suspect was IDed by an eyewitness, and that suspect had purchased a knife identical to the knife/murder weapon found at the scene. So in my book the suspect should have been found guilty... End of movie.

In my movie, a racist cop who pleads the 5th when asked if he planted evidence would be enough doubt to acquit.

He didn't plant the glove...that's just crazy talk!!But the glove demo by Chris Darden gave them reasonable doubt.Also they should never have moved the case downtown they were not a jury of OJ's peers!
