April 12, 20241 yr people throw around the phrase “murderers row” a lot…but this…this is a murderers row OJ way better football player than human being, hope he is having fun with Saddam and Epstein for all eternity… Edited April 12, 20241 yr by Evil Bill Obrien
April 12, 20241 yr Did it ever occur to any of you that obviously the killer of Nicole and Ron would go to hell for it just recently. And now that this unknown killer is there, O.J. has rushed down there as well to find him in the zone of ends? That’s called dedication. It’s what makes a champion.

Didn't realize he made it into law and teaches at Northwestern now. Good for him https://www.law.northwestern.edu/faculty/profiles/JonathanKoehler/ He was also my stats professor in late 90s and I remember he said that he most definitely did not prove OJ was innocent but that the sample that was proclaimed as a million to one was more like 75,000 to one. I remember he said how masterful a job OJ’s lawyers did because they kept proving how wrongly inflated the odds were and how clearly wrong the defense was….all so that no one would notice how ridiculous 75,000 to one (still way guilty).

April 13, 20241 yr Fired up the OJ Made in America 30 for 30 again. Great, yet infuriating, docOne of the best documentaries I’ve ever watched … and own.

Jay showed us the footage and yes it was basically with the lab having a 5% chance of error being so much more statistically significant than the DNA profile matching you can absolutely just throw the DNA profile match out and focus only on the lab error.
April 15, 20241 yr For those that didn't see this documentary...its worth the watch. @1:20 thru 03:00 is all you need to know about how this case would go.

Most everyone says "football" few could answer the follow up, what team did OJ play for? Spoiler No respect for San Francisco City College. So far my favorite answer came from a couple of 20-somethings at my globogym, He was the guy found not guilty of murder because his lawyer was Kim Kardashian's father.

April 18, 20241 yr It irks me that we never beat Simpson; only two games because he started at City College. OJ cut us up in 67. 68 was a tie despite the Irish pressing the juice to 55 yards rushing. Ara Parseghian's offenses had two first half leads and two second half goose eggs. The closest to justice would be the 1969 Rose Bowl, where #1 Ohio State came back, after OJ's 80 yd td, against #2 SC with defensive coach (DC!?) Lou Holtz. The articles say that Simpson threw an interception. Edited April 18, 20241 yr by notre dame joe

Perfectly spells out and explains everything about the case, both before and after. I fully understand why he was found innocent after watching both of these. He deffo 100% did it, but the entire case was lost the moment Mark Furman could not say he didn't plant evidence to frame OJ Simpson because he had to plead the fifth otherwise he would have been asked if he'd ever planted evidence to frame anybody in his career, of which he likely had. If it's a question of reasonable doubt, they had done a good enough job of showing how systematically corrupt the LAPD was from top to bottom that not hearing outright "We didn't frame him" could constitute reasonable doubt. I love the part in The People vs OJ Simpson where they go to his house and they've changed all the pictures on the walls, haha.

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Yes the conduct of the government established reasonable doubt against itself. It seems to be a question of individual philosophy, Should you vote guilty or not guilty if the gov rigged it against the actual criminal?
April 19, 20241 yr 25 minutes ago, notre dame joe said: Syntax. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. No, it's not syntax. It is a different thing conceptually. Did the jury say he didn't do it (i.e. was innocent)? Absolutely not. They said he was not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on the case presented by the prosecution. It's miles from the same thing.

The criminal jury found that the prosecution had not met its burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that OJ caused the deaths. The civil jury found that a preponderance of the evidence established that he did cause the deaths. There’s a huge difference in the standards of proof necessary in criminal and civil proceedings. You’ll care if you get in a wreck and the other driver isn't prosecuted or is acquitted by a criminal jury, but you can still recover from him in a civil suit.
