Thought the Browns were shady and behaved inappropriately at the trial. Had awful things to say about the defense team (save Kardashian).

Why would Scott shake and weep like this upon seeing his dead wife and dead sons photographs ? He asked the court to keep him out of the room upon viewing pictures .
He's acting. Remember this guy told his mistress his wife had died.

The jury made the right decision . The prosecutions entire case relied on the cops /Furhman and his racist tapes , the missing blood from the vial, and the EDTA found on the sock ruined it.
Usually, someone without OJ’s money , like a Scott Peterson is screwed when it comes to fighting the police detectives work but OJ went broke to hire the best of the best
Why on earth would the police try to pin a heinous murder on Scott Peterson? Wouldn’t they be more concerned about public safety, when there was a deranged lunatic running around snatching up pregnant women and murdering them?
The police try to solve crimes to keep the public safe. Yes, sometimes they’re corrupt, but most of the time, they are looking to solve crimes and get dangerous perpetrators off the streets. They had nothing to gain from railroading Scott Peterson.
Your comment make me wish there was an iq test for having children and voting.

OJ went there to kill Nicole. He was lurking when Ron walked up and buzzed the gate, and Nicole came out to the gate to let him in. Before the gate closed, OJ pushed in on them as they stood chatting and he knocked Ron to the ground with a punch, then knocked Nicole out with the butt of the knife in a blow to her head which propelled her head into the wall. Nicole is out on the ground,
OJ turns to Ron, who is cornered between gates on two side and a tree on the other with OJ coming at him with a very large knife. He puts up his hands in defense which is how he gets numerous defensive cuts all over them. OJ grabs him by the shirt and stabs him in the face and neck, then begins stabbing his torso. Ron is struggling and managed to remove OJ’s knit cap and one of the gloves from his left hand. One of the torso stabs severs his abdominal artery which gives him less than a minute to live - he bleeds out internally and slumps back against the fencing then slumps to his side, unconscious, bleeding out internally and externally.
OJ turns to Nicole - he picks her up off the ground and stabs her repeatedly in the face and neck, what detectives describe as taunting, torturing wounds inflicted likely while he said the things he wanted to say to her in his murderous rage. Then he pulled her head back by the hair and cut her neck clean across, severing everything inside her neck and chipping her spinal vertebrae. The autopsy photos are horrific, but it is NOT a Columbian necktie.
Police believe that following the finishing off of Nicole, OJ returned to Ron’s body while searching in the dark for his cap and glove, which he cannot find. He slashes Ron’s neck one last time, a very deep wound like Nicole’s but only to one side of the neck which is exposed in his death pose.
OJ then exits the killing scene, leaving Bruno Magli footprints in blood and by the left side a series of his blood drops from his bleeding left middle finger, which was wounded after Ron pulled off the glove. He runs to the back alley where he parked his Bronco and he returns to Rockingham where he is seen by the limo driver walking up to the house.
It was a frenzied killing and OJ left a mountain of evidence. If Rodney King hadn’t happened it’s likely OJ would have been convicted. Even though he didn’t go to prison, his life as he knew and loved it was over - he was ostracized by most of his Brentwood friends and Hollywood friends and basically most everyone but the black community who he never cared about before he was a pariah.
I take some comfort from knowing he spent years in prison and most importantly all the rest of his life in a prison of his own making, where he knew he wasn’t loved like he had once been.
What is also interesting is Nicole told OK that Sydney would have a sleepover that night. I think she lied because she didn’t want OJ coming over because Ron was there.
Both sides can use this as a point . People that don’t believe he did it use this to say OJ wouldn’t come over to kill since he expected the house to be filled with kids.
People that believe he did think he came over to check if there really was a sleepover and was pissed and arguing with Nicole when he realized the reason was Ron was coming over

Those 45+ who actually remember when everything happened actually can vouch for the fact that there was a lot of compelling evidence presented in court, however the jury simply focused on the wrong things when making their decision to acquit.
There were mistakes made during the aftermath of the actual murder, I.e., contaminated blood from investigators walking throughout the crime scene.
Also, Mark Furhman, the detective who claimed he found the bloody glove on OJ’s property could not be trusted since he publicly perjured himself on the witness stand.
That key part was a huge blow to the defense as nothing he said could be taken in as legitimate.
Finally the jury pool was predominantly Black and at the time, Black people were still hugely angry due to the Rodney King situation and this was a golden opportunity to make a statement.
OJ had a ton of compelling evidence against him - DNA and more.
However there were other factors at play during the trial which the jury focused on instead which caused a murderer to walk free. 🙁

This is an excellent point indeed.
Those who are saying O.J. Simpson is innocent were likely not even born when the trial occurred or if they were they likely were still too young to have known what was going on in our country.
They mostly are just going off of what they have read or seen of the past…..or here say.
You would likely have to be in your forties now if you actually remember all that went on in ‘95.
