It was painful for my dad watching the trial back when it was happening, the shit with the glove. My dad works with leather so much he's basically an expert in it, and he was practically screaming at the TV "BLOOD SHRINKS LEATHER!!"

Fun fact: OJ almost played The Terminator, but didn’t get the role because they didn’t think people would believe he was a heartless killer.

"Trusting twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty" is one of those magical sentences that says so much with so little. Thank you sir.

About forgetting Ron Goldman: current forensics believe that OJ had already started attacking Nicole when Ron came upon them. Trained in karate, he didn’t run, BUT CHOSE TO STAY TO TRY TO PROTECT NICOLE. And he lost his life for it.

Please do not forget this man, he had a good heart.

What still haunts me about this case is the children were home and asleep upstairs the whole time, they were so used to hearing OJ rage at Nicole like that that it didn’t even wake them. This was just a regular occurrence. That tells you so much about what kind of person OJ is.

Thank you Liam for wanting Ronald Goldman to not be forgotten. So often happens in reports of this, and the respect you want him to be given is admirable.

I would like to thank everyone who helped this get to a million views! You are the best audience a writer could ever ask for.

That poor girl was betrayed by everyone who should have protected her. Her "loving" husband was abusing her, the police didn't do anything, her parents sold her trust and safety time and time again, her friend slandered her for money and publicity, and even after her death, together with probably the only friend who stood by her, they destroyed her reputation, the prosecutors dropped the ball, chose the wrong experts and the jury refused to give her justice.

I'm a simple man. I see Simon talking for 2 hours, I click.

Fun fact: there is a Youtuber named Legal Vices who is a lawyer going through EVERY DAY of the OJ Simpson trial and providing legal commentary and analysis in real time as if January 2023.

The thing about the book OJ wrote, IF I DID IT the parents of Ron & Nicole got his release of book blocked but once they got a copy of it they realized he basically admitted to the murders, it had something to do with them having rights to the property because of the civil lawsuit, they allowed it to be published and the reason the “IF” is so small is because they directed it to be that way.

The saddest part of this case imo is actually OJ and Nicole’s poor kids, who had to grow up with this hanging over them, being raised with their dad who killed their mom and got away with it. They are the victims that are always forgotten

To put into perspective how popular the "OJ in the bronco" coverage was, it occured during the NBA Finals and news stations were covering the chase over the game.

I watched this as a young recent college graduate, holding a degree in Criminal Justice. This trial showed me that court was more about acting and money than law, and detoured me off my path to law school. He was so guilty.

It also really bothered me that there was so much speculation about the relationship between the victims. She was divorced, it didn't matter.

@Jrodbowman 2 years ago

You no longer have to say allegedly. OJ can rest easy knowing his wife's killer is dead.

@TeamQuigley 3 years ago

The police dropped the ball and he had that good lawyer money. We studied all the mistakes in my college forensics class it was a full class of "don't do this"

It's also worth mentioning, for those unfamiliar with american football, running backs are basically on a spectrum from little speedsters like Barry Sanders who rely on avoiding defenders, to big bruisers who could just run over would-be tacklers. Oj was the latter, he made some of the biggest and hardest hitting athletes on the planet fold up like a lawn chair. And he still had world-class speed.

I'm just saying he'd be one of the scariest people I could imagine being attacked by.
