Remember the one of the jurors recently stayed that she knew he did it, they all did, but they were getting revenge for the Rodney King stuff.
Pathetic. |
He was the lead attorney. He knew very well what he was doing, but I agree they all share blame. |
I've heard TV commentators say this over the years, but never heard it from an actual juror. For me, the major reason OJ got off was Fuhrman. He wasn't good for the prosecution. The prosecution didn't have all their "ducks in a row". Imagine the controversy there would have been if OJ had been convicted and the character of Fuhrman had been revealed after the trial. |
Without Rodney king, Oj still would’ve walked. Next time don’t hire a Nazi loving anti black, anti interracial relationship detective as the lead detective for a famous black celebrity’s criminal case . That leaves a huge window and huge catnip for defense attorneys to explore the cracks in the ceiling and present a case of reasonable doubt . There were also other major mistakes like Marcia Clark overemphasizing the DV incidents and diaries . The defense focused more so on the forensics and timeline and provided a good reasonable explanation beyond the glove that OJ possibly couldn’t have done this alone beyond a reasonable doubt |
The media called the case wrong much like the Trump Hillary election. People that didn’t rely on cable news coverage of the case knew that the prosecution was losing and losing badly thanks to Marcia over focusing on diaries and domestic violence instead of the actual DNA and forensics . The defense focused entirely and exhaustively too much on forensics and even brought forensics experts to explain in laymen’s terms to the jury what the previous forensics experts explained . During this time, Marcia was still stupidly focused on Nicole’s diaries |
eeek |
You forgot to put the words."unscrupulous".and "conniving" in front.of defense.attorneys. |
Carrie Bess is the juror. https://www.thewrap.com/oj-simpson-juror-not-guilty-verdict-was-payback-for-rodney-king/ |
Furhman was just as unscrupulous and conniving. The attorneys are paid to be conniving. I don’t think Ojs defense was that great . I think the prosecution was just really bad . Like horribly sad. Furhman as lead detective was a mistake. Marcia Clark and Darden didn’t even have the same explanation of events. One of them said Oj was enraged seeing Nicole and Ron together , and the other I believe Clark said Ron walked in on the killing and was a victim of wrong place, wrong time. Cochran was able to point this contradiction to the jury. It doesn’t take anything canniving to do this. Just doing your job as a defense atty. The prosecution failed miserably. They didn’t even know that Cochran was going to present the glove and make OJ try it on. Everything was just an unfortunate fail on their end |
Johnny Cochran was a brilliant attorney who did his job very well. You are such a hater. |
But his job was to let a man who murdered the mother of his children, and an innocent stranger get away with that crime. And he played the race card to do it. They even told OJ not to take his arthritis medication so the gloves would not fit. Would you post that Hitler did his job well? |
The case went through the legal system and a fair trial, Cochran did his job well. His role was to be OJ’s defense attorney. I don’t understand why you’re mad at him, and what more you expected him to do. Did you prefer him to not do his job well? If you feel OJ is guilty based on the evidence presented during the case, then you should be mad at the prosecutors for not doing their jobs well enough. Your anger at Cochran is strange and misplaced. It’s like you’re mad at him for being an attorney and doing the job he was paid to do. |
C'mon. Some attys are corrupt, out for money, and deceitful. Some are outstanding and highly moral. Mr. Cochran was the former type of lawyer. |
Yep. He did a great job of getting a murderer off. What a disgusting legacy that will be remembered for decades. |
This has been stated often, but nobody has been able to show the tape of this statement. Another false rumor based on lies. Now that's pathetic. |
