Yes, I know… but an innocent man would count his blessings and lay fucking low after beating the system on some EVO Moment #37 shit.
I knew he was innocent when I saw him running away on the highway in that Bronco.
More great news. OJ’s release has prompted the return of the Bronco. The vehicle that engineered the greatest victory in Black History.
OJ ain’t that smart. lol
He knows smart people
And had money.
Because innocent people never run, same as innocent people facing overwhelming circumstantial evidence and a death penalty/life in prison never accept plea bargains to get their time reduced to something way less…
Oh wait, they do.
Acting innocent and being in cent are 2 different things. There are guilty people that act innocent and there are innocent people that act guilty.
If I knew I was going to be railroaded at a trial with fabricated evidence and lots of circumstantial takes, despite my innocence, I’d probably run as well. Go to some other place and take my millions with me.
All anyone has at the end of the day is evidence and where that points. OJ’s attorneys blew holes all up in the prosecutions case from the prosecutions timelines to their police witnesses to their blood evidence to their claims of a motive. And OJ still had only a small cut on him with no bruises, Nicole had “someone’s” skin and blood underneath her fingernails…
More than likely not OJ’s since it’s never been claimed afaik that it was OJ’s. They also have no murder weapon.
He may be guilty and he may be innocent. One things for sure, after the trial he went on tilt. Had most his money and possessions taken away via civil suit, and was convicted in the public court of opinion.
Were I an innocent man in that same situation I may have made similar choices with so little to lose. But maybe that’s just me.
You do realize that a ton of DNA evidence was ruled inadmissible/tainted after that one moron took the evidence home and let it sit in the trunk of his car for a day and a half, instead of turning it in because he was “tired and didn’t want to deal with rush hour traffic”.
im just wondering when he gets out, any of the family members are going to try to get revenge on him.
Yes, and there’s a reason for that. Because that idiot left it in his car for half a day and who knows what the fuck else was done to it. All we know is that’s what he said happened to it. Either way that “evidence” is now tainted. As it fucking should be. Doesn’t make OJ guilty or innocent. Does point to improper handling of evidence which has a cascading effect on almost all other evidence collected in the trial.
But since we want to ask stupid questions, here’s one:
You do realize that the lead detective on the case wouldn’t say he didnt plant evidence?
Case is practically closed at that point.
Now put yourself in a similar persons shoes. The lead detective in your murder trial won’t say that he didn’t plant evidence, do you feel that if convicted that your trial was fair given ONLY that?
I sure as shit wouldn’t.
Any one of these things and more could become reasonable doubt, but in the OJ case you have like 10 of these things at the very least.
Doesn’t mean he’s innocent or not, but there’s no way I could convict him based on the flimsy tainted evidence the prosecution had.
First off, that jury was incompetent as hell. Bloody socks, DNA, bodies, I mean damn. How much evidence do you need? Keep pushing those “corrupt-police theories” and “I didn’t do nothing, the police planted some evidence on me”. Nowadays you will get laughed out of the court room.
The judge was also at fought, the entire defense should have been deem irrelevant and hearsay. But of course, you need the prosecutors to object to those crazy bullshit stories that they were able to pass as defense arguments.
OJ went free from murder because of Police and prosecutor incompetence.
You fuck up the procedures and taint/plant evidence , then you case against a murder is lost.
It does not matter of OJ did it or not, the police had some stupid, almost cartoonish levels of fuckery, which will get most people out of murder.
Also OJ had what is arguably the best lawyer in the country.
You would get laughed out of the courtroom today, largely because police and prosecution nowadays have much tighter systems of evidence collection BECAUSE of the OJ case. That shit no longer flies because any decent defense team will assault your evidence the way Cochran did, so the police and prosecution make fucking sure they cross their “I’s” and dot their “T’s” the way it should be. No way I’m trying to get convicted by some racist ass cops leaving burner guns at the scene with some trumped up evidence because the cops think they are judge and jury. Leave the judging and jurying to the actual judge and jury.
Also I don’t see what’s hearsay about tainted evidence, racist cops that won’t say they didn’t plant evidence, OJ with barely a mark on him, beating the shit out of a guy that supposedly has a 7th degree black belt meaning his hands are registered lethal weapons (if that’s true, may not be) all the blood at the scene managing to come from a small cut on OJs finger. OJ’s finger being cut THROUGH A GLOVE THAT HAS NO CUTMARKS.
The shit is flimsy at BEST. I don’t know where we should be convicting people of murder based on flimsy as shit evidence even though we have non flimsy evidence like what I just pointed out, but I sure as shit don’t want anyone convicted on the kind of evidence that they had against OJ.
I say this as someone that was wrongfully accused of something I didn’t do because of some seriously fucking stupid assertions of what evidence should be.
I left the state and never heard anything again about it. So yeah, innocent people do run and flee the scene. Not trying to make it easy on motherfuckers to give a me a case on trumped up bullshit.
People see what they want to see with no logic or insight at all into what it actually takes to convict someone of something.
The cops that were on trial for the Freddie Gray death were ether all acquitted, mistrial, found not guilty or the changed flat out dropped.
The State prosecutor for the city of Baltimore Marilyn Mosby circumvented normal procedures “to step into the national limelight”, and that she “pandered to the public”.
The six police officers that were unsuccessfully charged by Mosby decide to sue Mosby for malicious prosecution, defamation, and invasion of privacy.
I never defended the police. Their incompetence and racism lost that case for Clark and Darden before OJ ever promoted Cochran to lead attorney.
I’m also not blind, and can see the behaviors of a guilty man who was barely keeping it together in the courtroom.
The whole case was fucked nine ways from Sunday at jump… From Ito’s circus ringmaster style of moderating the courtroom, to Fuhrman’s racist ass, and Darden and Clark’s puppy love affecting their focus on the case.
It’s an amazing look at the best and worst parts of the American legal system, race, society, and human nature. The OJ case is one of those things that gets stranger and more fascinating with time… It’s as much a part of American history as the Boston Tea Party, or the JFK assassination.
What were these “behaviors of a guilty man barely keeping it together in the courtroom?”
Where I stand his behavior can easily be attributed to being scared as shit of being convicted. Which has no bearing on innocence or guilt. If I were on trial and knew that all the evidence was planted and circumstantial, I’d be fuckjng scared as well because people can be and have been convicted on that and less. This was a death penalty case iirc. OJ was looking at the electric chair if convicted. If that don’t tighten your sphincter I don’t know what will.
So do you think he did it?
Doesn’t matter what I or anyone else thinks. What matters is the evidence in the court of law. Some nights I think he did it, some I don’t. Every night I think about it though, I think he was 100% framed via planted evidence and that puts all evidence into question. Guilt or innocence doesn’t really come into the equation for me because it’s a crapshoot either way, were I a betting man, and I’m not, I’d put no money on either side.
I’d be willing to bet a crispy c note that evidence was planted though.

Look, he probably did. At the same time though if we start ignoring the verdicts of the criminal justice system the whole world falls apart. The ruling is the ruling, they couldn’t legally prove he did it, so by law, he didn’t.
Sorry to hear that about your experience. These people should be punished with the full extent of the law that accused people of doing something that they didn’t do (not children though, we all no why). I’m not here to defend our justice system, it’s outdated as shit and highly inefficient. “Leave the judging and jurying to the actual judge and jury”. Juries and judges are some of the worst at predicting when someone is lying. I think the research scores it at anywhere between 50-65%. So yeah it is more likely that a jury will not save you, if you are innocent and have a poor defense.
Think of this way. It was so much damning evidence against OJ his defense team only way out was to use corrupt police, racist cops, and evidence planting theories.
I mentioned how it was pretty much standard for the LAPD to plant shit on people to ensure a conviction, yes, it’s twisted policy and culture beyond reason. But it does show how confident some systems are in are legal system. If I actually gave a damn, I wouldn’t mind writing about police culture (the history of it and what it means now).
