Class act.

If you have never seen it I highly recommend the excellent documentary OJ: Made in America. It puts OJ’s life and crimes and acquittal in the context of American race relations and especially policing which had long been corrupt in Los Angeles County, as well as across the nation. OJ’s jury reacted to the evidence in the context of racist cops like Mark Fuhrman and likely some sense of wanting to preserve a black icon who succeeded across racial lines, including his marriage to a white woman.

+1 One of the best docs I’ve ever seen.

I hope his children are doing okay.

It was like living in USA since 2016

The other thing to keep in mind about the verdict is that even though, to us, the evidence was overwhelming, the defense did a great job of putting in reasonable doubt - about Furman's motives, about the blood contamination - that it's actually not surprising that it was an acquittal. I remember one of the jurors in the Made in America doc (also highly recommend) and she said as much. She has no regrets about how she voted.

What was amazing was the amount of crap that Lance Ito allowed the defense to do. Ito seemed to like being on camera so much!
I believe he allowed a housekeeper to be on the stand for a week.
I blame Ito in large part for the circus that the trial became.

It should all go to OJ's children. OJ's children have done nothing wrong. Any image rights, future book sales, movies etc... the children should get it all.

Goldman had his chance through the years to make OJ pay. Now let OJ's family live in peace.

Reports are he died “with his children at his side.”

Which children? From first or second marriage ??

Probably all of them, Nicole's children stood by him all these years. Sydney told a former serious boyfriend that she doesn't believe her father was guilty, that it was a drug deal gone bad.

OMG.

His children from his first wife should get nothing. All his children (even Nicole's, I believe) have stuck by him. His estate should pay whatever part of the judgment he still owes to the Goldmans and Browns from losing the civil suit.

+1 I’m listening to Dan Abrams right now - he was one of the few reporters who was in the courtroom every single day for both the criminal and civil trials. He just said that no one who saw all of the evidence and watched the whole trial was surprised by the verdict. Maybe by the speed of it but not the actual verdict.

What do you mean?

One of OJ's defense attys was the Kardashian's father (who is now deceased).

And there are (probably silly) rumors that OJ was the father of one of the Kardashian kids, I forget which one.

I thought that Goldman and the Browns received their civil court settlement? If not, Goldman and the Browns should get their settlement. However, whatever kids OJ has from his first or any other marriage, should inherit his estate.

This may end up being a short thread...

😂😂 Guess I’ll come back on Saturday.
