It was funny I was watching the verdict in the dorms with some crackaz and they were pissed and I was celebrating freeing the juice. just like that family guy skit
I'm done with you on this. You're not reading my posts. I CLEARLY stated earlier that the glove not fitting is "singlehandedly" the reason. But go ahead wasting the energy in your fingers typing that...
The reason the officer planted the evidence is because he was racist. It was however, the glove that was the reason why he got off was it not? So however you want to parse it.
Money talks, bullshit walks. Google the numerous stories about it. If the glove alone got OJ off... One piece in a myriad of mistakes a dream team (made of money) was able to back the DA into. I have more insight into this case than the average person would (for reasons I don't care to disclose publicly). They knew OJ would walk. Suspects have less against them in many cases (or more when they are plaintiffs - Hello, Rodney). Money is a big key when battling LAPD.
Why do I need to exclude the word? It's true Mark Fuhrman was racist. I just provided proof above. He's still got off because the police planted the glove. Not because he had money. He got off because the police were faulty planting fake evidence.. Everybody knows this. Everybody also knows that Mark Fuhrman was racist. The racist planted evidence. There is no disputing this. If you want to sit here and say that I'm saying racism got him off because a racist is the one who planted the evidence, well then whatever. You're parsing.
Because they were white? Fuck if I know. They shouldn't have. The force was clearly excessive. They should be under the prison.
So his "expensive" defense got him off? <please avoid the inevitable jokes my word choice will invoke>
Sure. If you have money then an innocent black man can get off. Cue The Crazies... I personally don't believe OJ did it. It was his son Jason in my honest opinion. People can say that they know but the truth is nobody does.
Rodney was a poor, beaten down truck driver. OJ was a national sports hero with deep pockets and the love of a nation. I remember being in 8th grade, watching his acquittal, hoping for it in the moments leading up. I wasn't the only one. I watched his Bronco tour. I was hoping for his innocence then. It wasn't the glove, my man.
I watched the whole trial. It was the glove. The key statement that Johnnie Cochran said and you know it: "If the glove don't fit, you got to acquit." You really like to parse things don't you? Did money have something to do with OJ getting off? Sure. Johnnie Cochran cost a grip. So just like money helped him get off, so did a racist planning faulty evidence that was exposed in litigation.
As an aside, do you really think Jason did it? Not debating. Studied criminal justice in college and spend a lot of time watching the iD channel. So I'm always interested in true crime stuff.
So wait... The glove got him off? (Again, let's avoid jokes here, S2.) Or, money, racism, and the glove?
I would also bet dollars to Donuts that if Mark Fuhrman didn't plant the faulty evidence that OJ may have been convicted. The world will never know. And it doesn't matter. Know why? Because for some reason in this country you can get off in a criminal trial but you can be sued civilly for basically the same shit. So @BLAZINGGIANTS: What happened during the Civil proceedings? Where is OJ now?
All 3 had a hand. But racism or not, without the planting of faulty evidence we don't know how the trial would have ended. It was the faulty evidence that was the end-all-be-all.
There's no reason to make a joke. You're the parsing King. Just like El Presidente was parsing rape earlier...
1. Civil is 50/50. The glove didn't get him off. 2. OJ was found guilty of a situation that had too much evidence. After money got him out of the first situation that the public court of opinion convicted him of. The glove didn't get him off this time, I guess. Money can't get you out of everything. Plenty of white dudes' convictions can verify that. Arguing his Vegas memorabilia sitch plays into his murder trial is a strawman argument.
WTF? It was a notation so to ward off jokes that were bound to come in the next several responses, as I understand our audience.
