I am convinced that O.J. suffered from CTE. I had a strange and frightening incident with him at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. This happened about 4 years before Nicole Simpson’s murder. During a conference there, I was chatting in the lobby with several colleagues, when O.J. suddenly appeared in front of me. He glared at me and said, “You’re coming with me,” and attempted to drag me out of the group. We were all just stunned, as I struggled to get away from him. As I broke free from his grip, O.J. then took off across the lobby and left the hotel. The only reason he broke his grip was because of the commotion he was causing. The people I was with then asked me if I knew O.J., and I replied, “Hell, no, he just appeared out of nowhere.” To this day, that was a scary incident none of us will ever forget. And today we are facing the brain damage some professional athletes are suffering from. CTE is no game.

If you had watched the trial from beginning to end then you would understand why the prosecution didn't have a case against OJ. The news media wanted to sell a story that this horrible black man murdered his poor innocent sweet white wife. That was the story-line that most whites in this country wanted to hear. So the media followed that narrative and made millions of dollars doing it. They knew of the facts and evidence that would exonerate OJ but they wouldn't report on it. There was all kinds of evidence that came out of that trial that was in OJ's favor that the media didn't cover because it wasn't supporting the story-line that was profitable for them. If you want to make a lot of money in this country, then drum up a hate campaign against someone of color, especially black people or Hispanics and this country will make sure you are well compensated for doing it. Donald Trump has made hundreds of millions of dollars doing that very thing towards the Hispanics. Yet. I don't have a doubt that he uses many of them to work in his hotels for low wages.

You know what's so very sad, is how we are so divided just like our country and races in America, this case was a very pivotal turning point for us as Americans, I really do my best not to judge anyone, however how can you not think Oj was guilty who else has been murdered in that area before, since those murderers, I hope the souls of Nicole an Ron are resting peacefully 🙏🙏 I can't feel anything for Oj I do feel bad for his kids. Very sad all the way around. Prayers for Ron's and Nicole's family's and their children 🙏

The saddest part is that no one has ever been arrested for the murders, this is the injustice that still exists today.

[@earthstewardude]

Not true! OJ was arrested ! He also spent a year in jail during the trial - get your facts straight!

[@shaggybreeks]

Actually, the murderer WAS arrested. He went to trial and was found not guilty by the jury. Later he was sued by the Goldman family and lost. He went to prison for for 9 years for a robbery later, and served his time. He's probably dead now. I forget the asshole's name...

I remember watching Kato’s testimony; it was kind of a train wreck, really. He was feckless, inarticulate, and seemed to have dual loyalties. It - like so many things - did not help the prosecution, and a killer ultimately walked.

[@johnmadison3472]

Imagine yourself in the same situation with a friend you are were living under with all of the commotion and media attention. He was probably afraid for himself, either by angering Simpson, or by the LAPD framing him into being an accomplice. I would NOT want to have been in his shoes then.

On Kato's reveal when OJ lied to him.: I harbored suspicion about OJ's character & innocence in the face of all this ever since- after the trial, during an interview OJ swore that he would do all he could in his power and use his resources to find the real killer of his wife. How noble of him. And so I said to myself: "ok OJ. We will hold you to that". While at the same time, full of doubt that he ever would. And of course, he lied.
