    Well the juror interviewed in the 30 for 30 seemed to imply that 90% of the jury thought he killed them but they let him off as 'payback for Rodney King.'

    Some of the jurors have said it was payback against the police. The main detective in this case was also racist. Dude got away with murder.

    That is just so completely asinine. Punishing people who had nothing to do with the police or Rodney King.

    Yep.

    The prosecutors put OJ on trial. Johnnie Cochran put the police on trial. Johnnie won.

    If you read the thread title it's pretty obvious how I feel about OJ but if they do an autopsy on him and discover Aaron Hernandez levels of CTE does that change your opinion of him?

    If you were his kids would you demand they look for CTE?

    A little hard for me to believe all 12 jurors had a social payback motive. If so, the prosecution did an awful job in jury selection.

    Some interesting info on the jury breakdown:

    He had an absolutely terrific legal team. Their job was to create reasonable doubt.

    Listening to local Bay Area sports talk today, I heard famed sports/rock photographer Michael Zigaras speaking to OJ being a bit of a coke head. That perfectly coalesces with my sense of the Juice.

    If there is a hell, he's sizzling in it

    The police fucked up enough that money won.

    That's why crooked police target the poor and minorities.
