NOT GUILTY

[@jelliebird37]

This is what you always get with Mike Florio: the top down, most important, facts. Mike makes his living in front of football fans - like me - who want to admire their football heroes. But he doesn’t pander. He doesn’t equivocate. He doesn’t put football players on a pedestal with their hall of fame busts and their feel good highlight reels. He has the courage and the integrity to put the humanity of the story above the football lore; he speaks truth 👊🏼. I was a huge fan of OJ the football player. I admire and respect Mike Florio the human being,

[@jo0123]

He was a Hall of fame football player, but will always be known for that killings.

[@user-iq6cc3df3l]

Let’s see. OJ’s blood and DNA were found at the crime scene. Both the victims’ blood and DNA were found on OJ’s property. OJ had the motive, means and opportunity to commit the crime. The crime scene was classic “overkill” which usually means the UNSUB knew the victim and/or victims. Any other questions today?

[@onone2451]

Terribly funny how the media then and now still won’t expose the known truths. Goldman was a documented low tier coke dealer, Nicole, Kris K, Faye resnik, and her girlfriends were all coke madame liaisons…. She crashed out unfortunately and thought she was a drg queen pen but soon owed the big dogs cash, and later got deleted for it. Oj knew it was coming but didn’t know from where exactly, and he never snitched cuz he had other family to protect from harms way…..that’s why there were so many documented fights and arguments between he and nicole,,,, she brought what they did in the club to the house around the kids. Nicole had coke, dealers, prostitutes and female pimps in her house, that’s why oj was raging not bcuz of her boy toys. Goldman sold coke at his tennis club, and out of the Mezzaluna restaurant he worked at, Along with other staff there, it was a known mid post spot in hollywood. That’s why there were two other murders of Goldman friends around the same time, Brian cantor and another. Goldmans stepmom was an ex wife of a drug dealing corrupt atty Glass, and his dad may have been a drug asset as well. SMH good ole fashion cover ups and suppressed info due to racial elements. Btw: do u really think a brotha could get away with offing two Caucasians in such a high profile case?….heck no! Ppl stop believing the mainstream media, they are the grimiest voices of them all, they feed the lies, and influence the populous for their own twisted agendas. Rip oj. Nicole, Goldman cuz the hollywood drug world is a nasty game to play with. Ppl do the science and the real research and stop covering your eyes to documented intel, bcuz ignorance is not bliss, it’s simply closeted prejudices...

All O.J. had to do to find the real killer was look in the mirror. RIP to his victims, Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman

[@mikeadamsfootball]

Thank you, Mike Florio! Skip Bayless and Keyshawn Johnson completely avoided this type of commentary yesterday, and completely disrespected the victims. Skip’s exact words “I want to honor OJ Simpson as a football player” and goes on to brush over the murders!

[@elephantdog3471]

I blame our injustice system more than anyone for letting him go free.

[@alanfortune3092]

That is true, however, given what was going on in Los Angeles during that period of time, could it have been payback for the injustice that happened with Rodney King! That verdict was injustice at it's highest!

[@Padraig1974]

The justice system worked. He was acquitted because that’s what the law Required

Well said, Mike.

[@ronanderson7598]

I’m curious as to why there continues to be a significant racial divide about Simpson’s guilt.

[@user-hh6mq6lw7z]

Mike Florio is the best in explaining everything in detail!

[@buddysteele7624]

Oh good Lord Cherene you would never have been able to make him admit to the murder, give me a break. No one on this green earth thinks you’re some hard-boiled streetwise detective that’s gonna corner someone into admitting guilt. That’s laughable. There’s nothing you’ve ever done that I’ve seen that would ever suggest you’re savvy or skilled enough to do that. Laughing out loud

[@neugey]

Florio's got it. My disgust with OJ has only increased based on what he continued to put Fred Goldman and the others through after the verdict. My daughter's friend died due to domestic violence and it cuts deeper for me than it did before.

[@gregpaspatis9425]

Over the past day the media unfortunately completely forgot to put any spotlight whatsoever on the topic of domestic violence, they decided to instead take a look back on his biographical life with all of its negative points included, though I would guess that there wasn't even just one TV network or local station anywhere that had any reporter stationed at a battered women's shelter to report on the importance of the work they do there.

[@Mediocre_Bass_Player]

I was working at E! for the entire trial. I had to watch all day and then cut packages for the recap show. The public didn't see a lot of the evidentiary rulings, a bit reason why OJ was aqitted was down to Judge Ito. I fully believe he was affected by the cameras, had they not been in the courtroom I think the trial would have been adjudicated and ended differently

[@bigjermboktown6976]

I remember where I was the morning this was all being talked about. Because it was my birthday June 13th 1994.

[@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle]

It is not a mystery at all why he was aquitted. The prosecution could have tape of him doing it, and it wouldn't have mattered. Edit: several of the jurors even told you it had nothing to do with bad prosecution

[@johnchedsey1306]

That 30 for 30 documentary clearly pointed that out. Had the murders happened in another city like San Diego, Simpson would have died in jail. The jury had it out for the LAPD.

[@shawnfitzgerald818]

Yes also clear in OJ Made in America doc. I get tired of people blaming the prosecution or saying it was celebrity not race. The jurors told you 90% of black jurors to quote the jurors questioned said it was payback. When the interviewer asked if she thought that was right the jurors shrugged through her hands in the air. They could have found oj duffelbsg with the knife bloody shoes a signed confession. It wouldn't have matters. The same cops that came to his house to party all the time and ignored all the 911 calls suddenly decide to frame him in a massive conspiracy. To quote sleepy Joe "cmon man"!
