I honestly don't know if he is guilty or not I didn't watch much of it. I only got a few blurbs on the news.
Then you really don't know what went on. The evidence was overwhelming hambeak. The bastard's blood was found at the scene of the crime, Nicole's blood was found on OJ's socks in his bedroom, one of his gloves had her blood found all over it and he had a mysterious cut on his finger coincidentally on the same night his ex-wife is found murdered. And by the way, contamination cannot change someone's DNA from one person to another. O.J. was a violent wife beater who had beaten Nicole many times before and had threatened to kill her. He had the means, motive and opportunity. He has no alibi for the time they were murdered and the limo driver saw OJ entering his house shortly after the murders took place where he lied his face off and said "I overslept". And if you watched the Civil Trial (where he was found responsible for the murders), you would know that the footprint at the scene of the crime of the "ugly assed shoes" that OJ denied owning, was later found to match a pair that he did own. And lo and behold it was the same size. And there were less than 100 pair of those shoes made. Kinda coincidental that OJ owned a pair that were identical to what was found at the murder scene eh?
Why did the jury only take 3 hours to deliberate a case that took months?
A combination of reasons. First, thanks to Johnny Cockroach, this went from being about domestic violence to a Race trial. This wasn't that long after the Rodney King incident where a bunch of white cops were initially found 'not guilty' of excessive violence, even though it was caught on tape. I'm sure you remember the riots that ensued. I don't live in the States, but from what I gather, race relations between whites and blacks in LA can be extremely tense. The jury was made up of almost all black people, mostly women. There was no way in hell they had any intention of finding him guilty, partly because of the race card, but partly because he was also a good looking celebrity.
The preliminary studies before the trial even started indicated that black women who were potential jurors, did not like Marcia Clark, referring to her as a "bitch", so it was incredibly stupid of her to fill the jury box with people who didn't like her from day one. Plus, DNA was in it's infancy during the trial and it went on for so long that much of it was simply lost on the jurors. The prosecutors were not really very competent and Judge Ito was a fool who let so much crap go on in the court room, it wasn't even funny.
All the evidence points to the fact that OJ Simpson indeed killed Ron and Nicole. There isn't the slightest bit of evidence that points anywhere else but at him. He is the lowest form of scum and I'm amazed someone hasn't taken him out long before now.
