Alan Dershowitz was interviewed last night. One thing I found interesting is that he said the attorneys should have NEVER released the fact that OJ failed a polygraph. He was quite stunned that happened. There were a few other things he had to say about the series, but when asked if he thought OJ had done it, he said he we never tell his opinion.
He also outlined some of the many mistakes the prosecution made - the glove, the “planted” blood, putting Mark Fuhrman on the stand.
It seems that he was inferring that the defense didn’t “win” the case, but that the state lost it. I would concur having watched most of the trial.

Former prosecutor who watched the trial. I have always said that the jury rendered the correct verdict based on the evidence presented. The state failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt and they made so many dumb mistakes. It was unbelievable.

I was a law student at the time and agree 100%. Frankly I was disappointed that my criminal law professor refused to even acknowledge this was a possibility and immediately jumped to the 'jury nullification' conclusion. The 'reasonable doubt' standard means that sometimes people who committed crimes go free because that is better than convicting innocents.

Of exmaple, one tidbit of info they talked about was how OJ went off his arthritis medicine a few weeks before the glove incident, which caused his hands to swell. The defense urged him to do it.

Kardashian knew he was guilty and didn't want to defend him. When you see his face once the verdit is read, he is disgusted. They interview Kris and she talks all about it.

Anonymous wrote:So you know what is interesting..............since this wasn't really talked about much at the time but CTE brain injuries I think could be a serious culprit here assuming he did it. I was 13 when this unfolded so while I remember it, I don't remember much about the trial except the fact that it nationally, I suppose internationally, served to highlight drastic disparities in racial justice and monied justice in our system.

But since we have seen the at least anecdotal correlation/ causation of CTE in NFL players linked with domestic violence and suicide.............makes you wonder. You don't rush for 2K yards in a season and I think 10K plus without getting brutally hit a LOT.

Also the Bruno Magli shoes! I was too young to follow it during the case, but the fact that he said he didn't own those (ugly ass) shoes and then there were several photographs of him wearing them!
