OJ Simpson criminal trial from January 25th, 1995. (Christopher Darden, Johnnie Cochran, Raw, Uncut)

Well I have to say my perception has evolved as my emotional attachment has dissolved. I’m not angry at either side or even taken sides as I had pretty early on when I watched this what ? a few decades ago. I find Johnny Cochran intellectually fascinating. I’m watching this amiable defense lawyer address a jury with such entertaining finesse.. he’s actually seducing them in the non sexual way and it’s his style and hard not to like him and to look forward to every word (he can get away with...) I remember in real time having an immediate dislike for the entire defense team, especially Shapiro and Cochran along with affection for Darden and Marcia Clark. Now I’m fond of all of them and empathize with a bunch of lawyers who were right at the very beginning of the enormous public interest in live trials that has followed ever since. But this was the raw beginning when possibly some less comfortable than others on national television. Johnny appears quite comfortable as he’s talking to the jury more than outlining a case. The pundits were brutal back then as well. Marcia Clark changed her hairstyle ( big deal ) but also the not so frivolous speculation on Chris Darden’s late entry into the state’s case. Common sense can presume he was carefully placed when the news was out about a vulgar racist cop who would be presenting damaging evidence... but that kind of speculation failed to consider he was also a talented impassioned attorney whose participation was as vital for these attributes as well as for making a prosecution table less white. Less linked with the racism they themselves brought into the case and onto the stand to testify ... which was their big mistake not the fault of the defense for using the info to discredit a damaging witnesses who handled (literally) too much physical evidence, too much with a record like his. . To put a known racist officer on the stand against these sharp brilliant lawyers was thoughtless or arrogant. No case is strong enough to weather that kind of intrusion. It had nothing to do with the race of the jurors. It had to do with the racism of one crucial witness mistakenly entrusted in handling crucial evidence that could have been either exculpatory or damaging (incriminating) and thus he was miscast for that role. A public servant who serves only some is no longer serving anyone especially when he carries a gun.

They actually did try to have that excluded bc him being a racist really is irrelevant to the murders but since he found the glove at ojs he had to testify. The judge should have said no. It turned into a nightmare in that courtroom and with the judge setting the tone for the court, he made everyone favor the defense with his behavior

[@sherilynnpontillo7936]

They did know and they were scared to death because they were assigned the case and Mr.Cochran dug out all the dirt and threw it in their face. The police AND the prosecution blew this case.

how dodgy is this judge

[@iMatti00]

🤯🤯 ~ I’ve heard more info than I ever knew before. I thought OJ was guilty all of my life, this new information is quite compelling to show that maybe he is not guilty. I know the trial is just starting, but I had to mention this. But for normal humans it’s difficult to change your mind when you have believe something your entire life, no matter how much evidence is thrown at you. I do think I’m better and having the ability to be self reflective, but that doesn’t mean I’m immune to emotional feelings. I recognize my emotions and why I’m having them more than I think the average person does, but I’m not immune.

Guilty, if you think otherwise, you are very smart at nothing

[@annasrobloxchannel3816]

You obviously don’t understand how science and DNA work 😂

[@williemo44]

@@annasrobloxchannel3816 the defense never tested the dna evidence. The prosecutions lab made a mistake on the report and the defense exploited that calling to question the reliability of the evidence. Smart of the defense but it doesn’t make Simpson less guilty, just the beneficiary of a good defensive strategy. The defense has the benefit of not having the burden of proving anything. All the defense needs to do is create doubt and attack every bit of evidence that points to Simpson’s guilt.

[@gailventzke2085]

Simpson is just as guilty today as he was in 1994. It is sad that he got away with a double homicide, and I feel for Ron and Nicole’s families.
