Have to admit I’ve been watching the ESPN film on the double murderer OJ Simpson. It’s kept my interest more from a standpoint of the racial history of Los Angeles than of the trial itself. It was never a trial with Simpson being tried for the horrific murders of Nichole Simpson and Ron Goldman, but rather a trial of the Los Angeles police department being tried for years of racial bias towards blacks.
It should have been an easy conviction, but instead Simpson walked after brutally murdering two young people in the primes of their lives.
I’ve read several books on the trial, but the best is by former prosecutor later turned criminal defense lawyer Vince Bugliosi. In my lifetime, there’s probably never been a better prosecutor than Bugliosi. One of the great courtroom minds of our time.
If you think OJ Simpson didn’t murder those two people then I have no idea what I could possibly write to change your mind. My guess is you’ve probably got a Trump yard sign about to be planted in your yard—so what could possibly be my hope in changing your mind.
Interestingly, there was a picture of Simpson and Trump together in Simpson’s home amidst all his other pictures of him interacting with prominent whites. In hindsight…you’d have to give OJ the edge in size of ego because he actually did murder two people, left his blood all over the murder scene, basically confessed, almost committed suicide — yet walked.
Like when Trump says he could shoot someone in broad daylight and wouldn’t lose any of his core supporters.
Anyway, for anyone interested in the law and the facts of the case this is pretty good.
