Yes likely unless you were there to witness the event as it unfolded.  He will be judged by a more capable judge if you have faith in God or just believe in karma as a balance that has a one scientific reasoning that will one day be formulated by top researchers.  After all positive and negative ions exist.  KArma is the balance between the 2.

Yes. More than “might have” and less than “did.” 
 

A jury of his peers saw all of the evidence and concluded that he was not guilty. 
 

Doesn’t mean you have to agree with it, most don’t. But you can’t say with 100% certainty. No one can except OJ, and maybe Kato.

My dad was the Bills statistician that kept the rushing stats from their inception until he died in 1973. I can still hear him lamenting OJ’s “dancing on eggs” running style his first few years in the league and how OJ wasn’t gonna amount to much. Then 1972 happened and he started to change his tune. A shame my dad never got to see what came after that. 
 

No Bill, before or since, has ever created such a visceral reaction with the ball in his hands. You literally had the feeling he could take it to the house on every play.

Simpson's eyes tell the tale.

There are rare  videos out that see into his helmet at his eyes.

Those videos show his kinesthetic sense, which is the ability to read body language and move accordingly.

When he got in space, his eyes were always on the next guy. He already had the first guy beat.

Larry Byrd was similarly gifted. He could diagram every one of his team mates and the defenders on the way down the court.

 

A singularly amazing athlete.
