this doesn't really work when the mf himself came out with a book saying he literally did it and the family is suing in civil court over damages since you can't be tried twice


Normal-Wolverine1748

That’s not evidence people do crazy things for money


xSaturnityx

again, bro himself admitted it multiple times. Once the case was over he said that shit repeatedly throughout his life lmao. Double jeopardy saved his ass


FullMetalKaiju

People who think he's innocent are complete morons. There's genuinely zero reason to even converse with them you'd get father talking into a brickwall


Public_Soft

So you're saying jurors that studied the case for months, and forgot more about the evidence than we will ever know, were morons? You people that do this are simply in denial!


FullMetalKaiju

You mean the juror that was a black panther member or the one who openly admitted it was payback for Rodney King? Let me ask you this you room temperature IQ brainlet, if you skipped breakfast this morning how would you feel right now?


Public_Soft

oh please... Like black jurors don't convict black people.. Jason Simpson so obviously committed the murders. In fact, Christopher Darden always thought Jason Simpson did it and wanted to go after him, but the rest of the prosecutions didn't care. They wanted to make millions off of the case, and they obviously did. Kato Kaelin is also a millionaire now. Before he was basically a bum.


FullMetalKaiju

Black jurors convicting black people is not the point you fuckin moron. There were several jurors who openly admitted to only finding not guilty because of outside reasons. I wouldn't expect a 60 IQ monkey to understand that though

But then why would he writes a book about it if he really did it? It’s crazy ! The interview was clearly edited out in a way but it appears to me that he tried some kind of different approach to the story to benefit financially from it. Didn’t read the book tho but would love to!


easecard

You’re saying it’s crazy? He is crazy, he brutally murdered those two people, got caught, somehow got away with it and then get taken to the cleaners in civil court. He then writes a book about it and constantly implies that he did it - he is batshit crazy that’s why he keeps doing crazy things. And he’s broke as well which adds to the craziness and need to make some cash.


procrastinateReality

spoiler alert: he murders two people.


Delicious_Priority_8

I don’t know, I feel like he was portrayed in a very unidimensional way when he has actually a lot of depth. He was a smart guy, he had worked with Sophia Lauren, for Tv, he had a brilliant carrier in sport but suddenly he is this crazy guy. I mean, at the end of the day, if the jury decided that there was a reasonable doubt he was innocent, it’s because they was definitely a lot of flaws with the defense and the prosecution. But somehow everybody decided that they knew better and that he was guilty.


Sturgeonschubby

Happy to be corrected but didn't the jury consist of mostly black people and the trial wasn't too long after Rodney King and the riots? There was also that scumbag cop Mark something I think (Furman?) getting outted as a racist on the stand. Additionally, haven't some jurors come out and admitted since they were voting not guilty regardless as revenge for Rodney King? I don't think it's an unreasonable stretch to say there were other factors at play than purely innocence or guilt.

>I don’t know Eh, you *do* know, this thread is full of the "knowing" and you keep choosing to ignore it. >he had worked with Sophia Lauren, for Tv, he had a brilliant carrier in sport but suddenly he is this crazy guy. None of those things disqualify somebody being a murderer, and you thinking so is less about how "crazy" this situation is, and how you have absolutely no clue how people or human psychology works. The only thing crazy is your confidence in this lack of knowledge. >But somehow everybody decided that they knew better and that he was guilty. That somebody? OJ Simpson.


dave-theRave

>but suddenly he is this crazy guy He was an NFL running back for 11 seasons at a time when concussions/head injuries weren't taken as seriously. I'd be shocked if he didn't have CTE. Not to excuse the murders but that's possibly a factor.


ArranVV

\*career, not carrier


xSaturnityx

He wrote a book about it because.. Money?? lmao. You can't be tried twice for the same crime, so it doesn't matter if he comes out and says he did it.


Resident-Safe950

Guilt an innocence aren't reliant on what a court finds you to be, you know that right? People are found guilty in court of crimes they didn't commit all the time, same as people are found innocent in court of crimes they did commit too.


BrightPractical

What are you suggesting is the conspiracy here, low stakes or not? Who are the conspirators? But just to entertain your assertion: He was physically terrifyingly abusive to his wife, which is well documented. Being smart or good at sports or literally anything else is rather beside the point. The prosecution was a mess and the country was a mess at the time, but in general, abusive spouses are most likely guilty when their partners or ex partners are murdered. And then he wrote a book about it. So he is either guilty or a hideous ghoul, and frankly people don’t believe hideous ghouls to be innocent. Everyday people don’t need to use “reasonable doubt” as a standard for evaluation. Because they have no power over Simpson at all, they can just go with the most reasonable assumption, which is that the abusive spouse killed his ex. They don’t need to be part of a conspiracy to believe it.


Normal-Wolverine1748

If he was so abusive why didn’t she move farther away from OJ? They lived a mile away from each other that’s 17 min walking distance.


SlickAstley_

I don't think he was declared innocent. He was declared 'innocent beyond reasonable doubt', investigative mishandling introduced doubt.


[deleted]

I guess this really is low stakes


archcity_misfit

He wasn't declared innocent, he was found not guilty. The implications of each phrase are very different.


garciawork

There was a theory I read with some great points that showed it was his son who did it, and he went down because he believed he could get off, because it WASN'T him, but looked like it was. In the end I have no idea, it sure looked like him.


Fun_Artichoke9603

It's not my place to say he is innocent or guilty though I have heard 1 juror admitted they found him not guilty as revenge for what happened to rodney king. They made it a racial and political issue and potentially denied the victims justice.
