The People vs. OJ Simpson

[GMDGator]

This ESPN multipart documentary is fantastic... I have only seen 3 episodes so far, but there is so much that I was unaware of at the time that was missed by all of the hype of the trial... Investigation was bungled by LAPD, and the ITO bungled the trial by letting the jurors tour the staged house... It is disheartening that so many people were so happy when he got off with zero concern for the families of the victims, but this kind of gives you where they were coming from... I still remember the idiots on the bridges cheering him on as the Bronco was being chased (or escorted) instead of being detained.. After this, if anyone doubts his guilt then you are just biased or foolish.

Before this you would still be a fool. The people that applauded the not quilty verdict didn't believe that he was innocent. Their reaction was racially motivated.

It's definitely worth seeing. They show some photos of the crime scene. Absolutely sickening and gruesome stuff. Fred Goldman is such a jackass. I never liked the guy, but any form of sympathy I have have had for him was shot a long time ago.

If it wasn't for Fred Goldman, O.J. wouldn't be in prison today, where he belongs.

This is false. He's a loudmouth jackass who wanted JC locked up for his closing argument. He didn't want the book published until he could be the one to profit on it. Fred Goldman is a massive hypocrite.

I'm pretty sure Goldman's son was ruthlessly butchered by OJ Simpson. I don't know about you, but I'd be pretty pissed, too. Goldman seizing all of Simpson's assets is what led to that armed robbery attempt by Simpson that got him finally put behind bars. So how is it false?

Fred could've dropped dead the day after the verdict, and it wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference in sociopath OJ committing the crimes he went on to commit. The robbery case had nothing to do with the goofy handlebars guy.

I am not saying that I agree with either of you because I don't know all the facts and particulars. However, if OJ hadn't been broke he wouldn't have had to steal. And if he didn't have to steal anything he most likely wouldn't have gotten caught for the burglary and so I guess I am sort of on Ox's side on this one.

I couldn't possibly disagree more. Do you think Goldman should NOT have filed his civil suit? Just let Simpson jump in his Ferrari's and hit the golf course? You assume it's all about money - I don't think it was. He knew Simpson would have to testify in a civil suit and the truth would come out.

Are you honestly saying Simpson would have broken into a hotel room with guns trying to get back some crappy memorabilia if Goldman hadn't seized all his assets? The guy needed money, it was a desperate act.

Goldman did what I would have done and what most fathers would have done. Punish the bastard who murdered your son and got away with it.

 

[crosscreekcooter]

If I had been Goldman, I would have just killed the rotten piece of stinking human excrement. I would have done it slowly so that both OJ and myself as his executioner could savor the 2 or three hours of excruciating pain.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

I have zero sympathy for OJ on anything. Less than zero if that's possible. Whatever is happening to him now isn't harsh enough.

No question that it was racially motivated. At the time the verdict was read I was in the waiting room of a large medical practice with my professional peers (at least 1/3 were black) watching the TV. Guess I was naive but I was shocked when everyone of these well-educated, professional blacks cheered. This obviously has negatively affected my thinking and opinions since that time.

 

[MJMGator]

Witnessing an entire race of people celebrate the acquittal of a man they KNOW slaughtered two innocent people tends to have that affect.

I'm really glad that we've come far enough now that if this sort of thing happened again, the black populace would react much differently...
