Beast Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The fact that the jury consisted of 8 blacks, 2 Hispanics, 1 half-Caucasian, half Native American, and 1 Caucasian female…..then the lead investigator, Mark Fuhrman, lying about using the N word…..and the prosecutor’s stupid tactic of making OJ try the glove on led to the not guilty verdict. Plain and simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 18 minutes ago, richNjoisy said: I do hope the Simpson family allows a postmortem analysis of his brain for signs of CTE. I have, for years, suspected he was suffering from this and it could possibly point to severe mental illness (undiagnosed) later in life. OJ was my hero as a boy but I too thought he was guilty of the double murder. I thought the prosecution did a terrible job and that the LA police made several agregious errors at the crime scene. The conviction in the civil trial, his subsequent behavior stealing his own property at gunpoint, and time in prison as a result certainly pointed to a troubled man , fallen from a great height, who some might say deserved all of it. I only know it was a terrible situation obviously for the victims and the family and also for OJ and his living family. RIP OJ, and I hope the victims remaining family have some peace from his passing. No way the glove was not in planted. That was just stupid, and Mark Felt was a disaster for prosecution. Plead the fifth on planting the glove. Im sure he was mentally ill, so hope they do allow the CTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain and simple. I forget who should be credited with this quote, but always found it humorous. “A jury is 12 people too dumb to get out of jury duty.” Jokes aside, as I said in my other post, this particular jury had to be made up of 12 people who could be considered unbiased. The amount of rocks they had to have overturned to find 12 people who didn’t know enough about the case to be biased much have been huge.

Now he, Nicole, and Ron can all be together again. But why call him a terrible human being for one lapse in judgement? By my estimate, he lived 28,035 days. 28,034 days he never killed anyone (as far as we know). Pretty good record by any measure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) 34 minutes ago, Warcodered said: The practical difference is it's not about you being innocent, not guilty just means they haven't done enough to prove that you're guilty, that's the point, if you had to prove yourself innocent it would be much higher burden because you'd have to actually prove it there wouldn't be an automatic assumption of innocence. And yet, under our binary system, "not guilty" is the only available verdict besides guilty. So, even a person who is 100% verifiably innocent of a crime cannot obtain a verdict that is more favorable than "not guilty", at least in a criminal trial. FWIW, it's my understanding that a person who was wrongly convicted of a crime can later be set free based upon a showing of "actual innocence", but that's not what we're talking about here.

People can create "studies" to fit whatever narrative they want. Nothing against black people because white jurors do it too , it's called racial bias. I'm not saying everyone, but if you think there isn't racial bias then you're sadly mistaken. Having that many minorities as jurors certainly wasn't a bad thing.

That's because the system isn't for proving innocence, it's for punishing criminality while protecting people's right to presumed innocence. I know the process of getting cleared/retrial or however it is, is more difficult not sure if it's the same as being proven innocent, don't know not as familiar with that concept, just think I remember it being more difficult due to a loss of the presumption of innocence or something, not sure there is anything that proves innocence in our system not really what it's built for.

I’m the most anti woke poster on this board, but the black jury wouldn’t convict a black defendant just isn’t factual. The prosecution lost this case horribly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Not sure what the fuss is about but, personally, I have zero issue with speaking poorly of the dead. Never had, despite convoluted attempts to shame others. He went from a Bills superstar to a horrendous multi murderer. That makes him a POS now and forever.

Just Jack Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) https://babylonbee.com/news/oj-simpson-excited-for-god-to-tell-him-who-real-killer-was Quote U.S. — O.J. Simpson has passed away from cancer at the age of 76. According to sources from the afterlife, the former football star is looking forward to asking God who really killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. "I've been racking my brains for decades trying to figure out who may have done it," said Simpson. "It will be great to have all my questions finally laid to rest. I really can't imagine who might have committed such a crime." At publishing time, O.J. Simpson's questions unfortunately remained unanswered after a majority-black jury declared him "not dead."
