[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today Oscar Pistorius sentenced to 6 years for killing his girlfriend (3 years after the fact!)  Will anyone remember after tomorrow? Where are the follow up stories on Casey Anthony? Robert Blake?[/quote]

There were stories on Casey Anthony this week - 5-year mark.[/quote]

None of these others were like OJ. He was always a cultural juggernaut from the late 1960s forward. Plus the case itself was the advent of 24 hour TV, wall-to-wall media and a mirror into our American pop-culture psyche, especially about race.[/quote]

I just finished the series.  It actually made me feel sorry for him, while at the same time thinking he should of thought of that (his reputation, or whatever he regrets) sooner. I also wonder what ever happened to the kids.  One of the interviewees (former agent?) said he treated them horribly.  The Browns lost custody, which was huge. [/quote]

I too found  myself feeling bad for him at the very end, it was just very depressing. He overcame so much, reached such heights and blew it all. I have no doubt he did it and am thoroughly disgusted in the way he treated Nicole and acted post verdict. Yet, it is just all kinda tragic.

I too watched both series and loved them both. The documentary is great for overall context. The miniseries was better at showing the some of the details (where blood and gloves found, how the prosecution made and lost the case), with the glaring exception of Hodgman's description of the actual murders in episode 4. I can never unsee that. [/quote]

The prosecution was naive.  Kudos to Darden.  He is my hero. [/quote]
