    I personally think he was guilty and that the jury made the right decision. Such a fucking mess.

      You think so? I don’t know… I mean, he did publish a book that detailed exactly how the crime happened and why but the title is called “If I Did It” not “I Did It” so we can’t be sure…

      I personally think he was guilty.

      So do the rest of us, there’s mountains of evidence to prove that he was guilty.

      and that the jury made the right decision. Such a fucking mess.

      So you think he was guilty, and that it was appropriate for the jury to acquit him for the murder?

      Explain to me please, why you think deaths were justified and that OJ deserved to walk free if he’s guilty?

        Because the prosecution failed to make their case, mishandled the evidence, and were torn apart by a well funded defense.

        Nothing justifies the deaths, and I would not try to. But being able to mount a defense against charges made on you by the government is a cornerstone of our justice system.

        Thus I do feel comfortable saying that I think he was guilty and that the jury acted properly. The case was NOT well presented at all, even with all the evidence they had.
