[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the way they are handling Marcia Clark - pointing out the ridiculous bullshit she had to deal with, and how sexist things were in the 90s. At least we have social media now to call more things out.

Can you imagine the backlash now if the media or judge commented on a lawyer's outfit and hair like that?

The judge was an utter asshole who didn't deserve to practice law much less be a judge. And at least Johnny Cochrane is dead now. A wife beater who paid off his wife, and I was so livid about his disregard of her childcare situation I wanted to scream. Seriously, F%$& that guy.[/quote]

Exactly!  Except, I don't know if JC really beat his wife and he was a talented lawyer.

When I watched the trial I couldn't stand the comments on her appearance.  For god's sake, she wasn't rich, she wasn't a celebrity.  She was just a regular person doing her job.  We all dressed like that.  Business casual wasn't a thing at that time (not that she could have dressed casually in court anyway) and online shopping hadn't even started.  Amazon came online in what, 1995, and for a long time they only sold books.

One thing I thought they brushed over on the show was the testimony by Nicole's sister.  That really struck me at the time.  I don't recall how long her testimony lasted but it seemed like a long time.  She told the story of the history of abuse Nicole suffered at the hands of OJ.  It was heartbreaking.  I think that's when they brought in the pictures of the bruises Nicole had stored in a safe.  On the show I think JC made a comment that her crying sounded manufactured and it actually helped the defense, but it didn't seem that way to me at the time.

It sounded manufactured because the entire Brown family was living off of OJs money. The few times Nicole trod to leave, her family would talk her into going back. He bought her parents a hertz dealership, and Denise as dating one of OJs friends. After the cross examination it felt like the family also used Nicole. [/quote]
