[@ramblincapuchin9075]

In the world of finance, numbers are the name of the game. If you can convince a jury that OJ's number is higher than than the prosecution's, it really doesn't matter what they think. It becomes a matter perspective You could have been hiding in the closet at the scene of the crime, history will remember it different because that is what they have been programmed to believe. Case closed It is in the best interests of public opinion that the matter is swept under the rug. It doesn't stop people from feelings of contempt, but as far as the court is concerned, you cannot use their ruling as a citation beyond speculation This is why I don't avoid conflict. You never know when someone with a grudge might throw a brick through your window

[@francescov.3610]

Honestly the more I look into the OJ trial, I ultimately believe that it was Mark Fuhrman that ultimately got OJ off. The combination of him going on a psychotic white supremacist rant full of racial slurs, plus the fact that the fucker plead the fifth when Johnnie Cochran asked him if he tampered with the crime scene. That was essentially taken as an admission that he planted evidence and therefore, the prosecution's case lost credibility to the layperson.

[@bouji_]

He was acquitted because the cops were busy planting evidence. How was the jury supposed to believe anything the prosecution said after that fact came out?

[@TenorMan96]

Despite all the ridicule, you gotta give props to Johnnie for pulling off such a tactic especially in the 90s where there were no TikTok shorts. It may have been stupid but it was creative and it’s his job to defend OJ. Being a defense lawyer is not textbooks but rather pulling a chess move.

I can not believe this was in 1995, I was only 10 and I still have so many memories of it. This tells me that children(especially me as a child) pay attention and notice more than we think or know. According to the memory of my thinking it's almost impossible that I was only 10 years old. Great lawyer, I would like it if he was still around. His children are though and the Cochran law firm in Atlanta.

[@ollikoskiniemi6221]

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 his logic might be perfect for the jury, but it isn't right. That "logic" in which he doesn't probably believe himself is deeply flawed and morally wrong in a way. It's opportunistic, cowardly and despicable to tell good lies. There's barely any (if at all) admirable qualities in it, yet many of you seem to admire him for succesfully lying. Are those things what you aspire to be, and what you want your children to be? Are those your values; opportunism, cowardice and despicability? That's the thing you "lawyer-minded" people don't get. You have no respect for humanity, morality or the actual law itself, because to you, if you can get away with breaking the law, you practically didn't break it. It's disgusting and you know it! You are not thinking without emotion, you are not aspergers in good sense, rather, that line of thinking is deluded.
