OJ Simpson Dead

There's another 20 minute video of his OJ jokes floating around too. Just sorry that Norm didn't live to see this moment. Top 10 all-time stand-up, easy.

 

30 minutes even. Didn't even know he'd done this, it's just reletentless- great stuff.

I started watching the documentary OJ : Made In America documentary on Disney last night. 
 

5 episodes of 90+ minutes and almost finished it.

 

I’d seen the dramatisation on American Crime and knew bits of the story from elsewhere.

 

I didn’t realise how famous he was and what a pioneer for the black community, although he didn’t seem to want the be associated with the black community.

 

Although everybody knows he’s guilty, the LAPD fumbled the entire case (pun unintended).
 

Forensics were reasonably new at the time, people are always sceptical about things they don’t fully understand. The defence did a good job of pointing all holes in the collection of the evidence. 
 

Mark Fuhrman, although saying he was Hitler was going a bit far, they painted him as a racist well and planted doubt in the jury’s mind. Same with the glove.
 

As outsider, I do feel making the trial about race was below the belt (although it really isn’t my place to comment ), however, the LAPD made such a mess of it and enough doubt was raised, he might have gotten off with it anyways.

 

His wife, Nicole, was nearly decapitated. They found a knife mark on her spine. He went back to the boyfriend to finish him off multiple times. He left his kids in the house to potentially find their Mum like that. It was a brutal, barbaric murder and he should have been put away for life.

Johnny Cochrane (the main one who pushed the race angle) really comes out of it showing the world what a massive cunt he was. It was mental they pushed the race angle as O.J. hated the black community who adored him. 
 

And the way they caused all that shit in the media for Marcia Clarke (especially over her new hairdo) had a big sway in the verdict too. 

Scandalous how that trial was handled by the courts/media.

I read Marcia Clarke's book and I felt sorry for her by the end of it. She got treated horribly by the press.

He’ll say he did what he had to do to win the trial for his client and did it by any means necessary.

 

It reminded me of the Suarez handball v Ghana - did what he had to do to win, even if it left a bad taste.

He won’t be saying anything he’s been dead for nearly 20 years
