Honestly...is there a jury in the land that could NOT take into account OJ's past? Simple laws of human nature say no IMHO. He screwed up BIG this time and put himself back in harms way. The verdict should have come as no surprise to him. If you mess with skunks , sooner or later your gonna get sprayed.
That's why I said it was a stupid move to even stay in the states. He couldn't have a traffic violation. He should have known, it would catch up with him if he stayed because America is still angry.
Whatever it is, it's worsened in the past 8 years.
Since the arguments on this thread have been that the jury was corrupt, and if he had a fear that they were, he could have chosen differently.
He was found guilty of criminal actions.
Simple as that.
Payback is a B*****! That's basically the rationale for the jury as far as what I have seen and heard. Don't get me wrong, I have always thought that O.J. committed the murders or knew what happened, but in this case, I don't think the jurors could reach the verdict they did without quite some reach. That reach was basically deciding in their heart that even if they were wrong, it would be okay because O.J got away with murder back in 1997. He was convicted on all 12 counts, which means possibly a life sentence. Here's betting he will get just that. He would have had to leave the country to get a fair trail. Why he chose to stay in this country with such infamy is a sign of utter arrogance, delusion, and/or stupidity.
I believe that his appeal will be premised on the fact that the all-white jury was paying him back for the criminal verdict, which to me violates his Constitutional rights. I hope his appeal is successful for this very reason. He shouldn't be spending his entire life in jail because the jury in a robbery case felt he was guilty of murdering Ron and Nicole years earlier.
The man was acquitted of the murders and should not be convicted later because the jury didn't agree with that verdict. Absolutely absurd.
the man should have never been acquitted by a jury who was too stupid to understand DNA and said that they did not consider it because it was "too hard to understand". that is what is absolutely absurd, his guilt and their stupidity.
Why are some people in this thread convinced that his past had anything to do with this verdict? Look at the facts of the case! His partners testified against him. The incident was recorded. How could he have possibly been found not guilty?
Saying that this verdict had to do with his past is absurd. Saying it was racism is itself racism. He is GUILTY of these crimes. Any honest, reasonable person could have easily determined that, and that's exactly what 12 jury members did.
Well many said payback was why he got off with murder in the first place.In the ned I thnik there was just too much evidnce against him including the tapes of the incident. Then of course his co-conspiractors testified against him. His only defense seem to have been that it was payback,. Does mean anyhtign in disputing the evidence against him.

You facts are different from mine, seems the potential for blood contamination and a rogue cop is what created the reasonable doubt for those jurors whether I agreed with them or not. Anyway, this thread is not about discussing the merits of a 13 year old case that was decided on by a jury and in which O.J. was found not guilty. It's about the armed robbery case and whether the verdict was rendered by an impatial jury.
Because we have a judicial system that allows us to have a jury made up of 12 peers that have personal interpretations of the evidence presented and make judgments according to their interpretations.
