Yesterday I sat and watched a two hour programme about the OJ trial. What an embarrassment for the US. Your legal system is a disgrace. The lawyers discussing things outside of court on TV, bringing all sorts of disgraceful matters into the trial that have no bearing on the facts in question. The judge letting everyone but jurors see parts of the evidence. The judges wife being part of the trial. What a system you have. I am not surprised you have all these exhonerations on death row. I was really shocked to see how this trial became a TV soap opera instead of a fair trial of the evidence. Yet Americans seem to think their justice system is brilliant. Unbelievable.

At 14:12 the reason Clark asks the Burger King question probably is because there was a rumor that Kato and OJ actually went to buy crystal meth from a Burger King parking lot.

It was a 9 month trial. There's a lot going on in such a long period of time. There's a lot of tension, some people crying, but also sometimes smiling or occasionally laughing for whatever reason. That's life going on. If at one point the judge thinks a reaction is not appropriate he can act.

[@kepler240]

Why ask Kato if he thought staying with OJ would help his career? A lot of pointless questions. And this is her own witness....a hostile witness at that.

[@johnmongani5223]

She wanted to make the point that OJ may have suggested to Kato he could help his career if he lived in his guest house, thus a way to getting Kato out of Nicoles condo. That way OJ could have an easier time controlling her with nobody else living there. She went at Kato aggressively because she thought he was acting in a way that was not truthful especially why they went to a McDonalds that was farther than another one closer to where OJ and Kato lived. And the reason for that is a drug dealer came forward who said he sold drugs to OJ and Kato the night of the murders at a Burger King that happend ot be close the McDonals OJ and Kato said they went to. The drug dealer was never called as a witness because he sold his story to a tabloid TV show.

The camera really needed to pan the court room. The only one not amused was Marcia Clark. 14:10 "and you did not go to Burger King?"

the Burger King reference is implying that they went there instead of McDonald's to buy drugs. A drug dealer tipped Clark off to that.

[@rubywoo.caicedo8455]

[@johnmongani5223]

the rumor was that OJ and Kato actually did not go to the McDonald's you know of but a Burger King somewhere nearby and met a dealer who sold them coke or speed. That's why Marcia Clark asks him at 14:11 if he was sure that they didn't go to Burger King instead of McDonald's.

[@dontaeward34]

WOW really

[@lissalives1]

Her questions are ludicrous. Why is it important to ask Kato if living with O.J. would be advantageous to his acting career? What does this have to do with the murders? Marcia was unprepared.

[@johnmongani5223]

those do seem like dumb questions but I think she asked about OJ helping him to imply that Kato would lie to protect OJ in this trial since OJ gave him a free place to live and might help his acting career. Kato was having a hard time answering some of the questions and Clark declared him a hostile witness.

[@TSeeley01]

So interesting here Kato makes it sound like it was oj not wanting him to move with Nicole to bundy but in more recent interviews he says HE didn’t feel it was right. And people say he was helping oj here and that’s why he was declared hostile but I’d say making oj seem like a jealous spouse helps the prosecution especially if it’s a mountain out of a molehill and Kato didn’t not want to live with Nicole. I think Kato just didn’t have the best memory. Many of us don’t and it’s even harder when you don’t know you might need to remember something.

[@johnmongani5223]

Pretty sure Kato was planning to move in with Nicole. If he didn't feel right about it that was OJ manipulating him to feel that way. That's what the prosecution was getting at, that OJ was a controlling person, controlling Kato to get out of Nicoles house by offering his guest house. And also controlling Nicole's feelings by stalking her and later letting her know he knew what she was doing and with whom at Bundy.

[@TSeeley01]

@@johnmongani5223 yes that’s what the prosecution was getting at but in a more recent interview Kato says kato didn’t want to live with Nicole because Kato didn’t think it would be right. He didn’t mention oj at all being an influence. If that’s true then he was going along with Clark’s portrayal thus trying to help her and yet she tried to make him a hostile witness.

Oj kept saying the d.a. never proved he was jealous. Isnt that jealousy that kato was Nicole's friend & they had a mutually beneficial deal. Then oj who doesnt know this guy let's him move in free of rent . Its bc he did not want a man living at Nicole's. Also I think he did not want kato around Nicole's to see when he was stalking her or kicking doors in to rant & rave. The 911 call , oj was ranting to Kato who came home. At least that is what Simpson said at the civil trial. I was actually home from school & my grandma babysat me & I remember watching with her cause she was glued like everyone. Anyway my grandma was laughing saying " this guy stutters & mutters through this . I think he is on something " marcia freaking hated him.after this. He was very hemming & hawing & he was not very forceful in this testimony. Oj I think went to kato for the money to est. An alibi. Like have someone see him. Man the gallery thought he was just hilarious. I guess he is a goofy guy & it was some levity. I imagine the goldmans for sure were not amused. Marcia Also said he did not want to piss oj off. I just wonder why bc I doubt he was thinking of living still at the guest house. Kato was an aspiring actor can u imagine how thrilled he was getting all this exposure. He got a radio dj job but refused to talk about the case so why else would anyone listen to his show?

[@kingdomofanimaria]

But kato was living in Nicole’s house for a whole year even while they were in process of reconciling so would be pretty odd for him to not want staying with Nicole after a year of living with him when he could have said no to him living there straight when he moved in
