O.J. Simpson, former football star acquitted of murder, dies at 76
- Thread starter We Never Know
- Start date
I remember O.J. Simpson when he was playing for the Buffalo Bills. I was kind of a fan for while, and he was quite a celebrity for many years. I was rather shocked when the whole murder case came down, and I didn't believe it at first. The trial itself became a major media event, going on for a protracted length of time. (I was still subscribing to the print edition of TV Guide at the time, and it got to the point where "OJ Simpson Trial" became part of the daily listings.) Part of me still wants to believe that he didn't do it, but I'm not so sure.
It was 30 years ago. Time passes quickly.
If that glove don't fit you must________!..........And that lawyer would be driven crazy by Cosmo Kramer...
I have never believed in his innocence.
I just think of the heartbreaking images in the courtroom, while the judge was reading the verdict.
Mr. Goldman's sister and father were really suffering.

Look, dearest...he got away with murder because there are attorneys who would defend anyone. Just for money.
I am different. I believe in values. Ethical values.

During that period, he was a wholesome charismatic sports hero. A role model.
To see so many heros now that have fallen to such lows , to put it lightly, really crushes the heart and soul.

All they had to do is launder a fitting pair of identical gloves and see if it shrinks from the washer to dryer.

To my understanding it was the gloves found at the scene. I wouldn't think the prosecutor would wash and dry their evidence.
An actor knows how to pretend that a glove doesn't fit his hands.
I can pretend...let alone an actor.

I'm talking about an identical pair to see if it shrinks when wet or perhaps shrinks if wet with blood.
That's ugly rubbish. He was found not guilty because, in part, he had a team of exceptional lawyers, which is precisely what he deserved. Sadly, far too many fail to get the same.
Apparently, your ethical values stop short of the right of due process and its presumption of innocence.I am different. I believe in values. Ethical values.

He was found not guilty by a jury.
However whether he did it or not, you don't know, I don't know. People can believe either way.
It doesn't change the fact that cancer sux.
Well, RIP to him for his family's sake. I really don't have much of an opinion on him as that was somewhat before my time (I was 5 or 6 when the murder trial happened), but I know he was a big pop culture icon, a sports hero. He certainly was a charismatic star.
As for the murders, I wasn't there and don't know what happened. I always thought it was sad how racialized the whole thing became. Actually, my mom (who was white) never thought he was guilty and believed that drug dealers did it. Maybe so. It doesn't really make sense to me that he would brutally murder people like that. But regardless, they're all gone now. RIP to Nicole and Ron, too.
