The People vs OJ Simpson: American Crime Story

[KChiefs1]

Just watched the first episode. I think it's going to be very interesting.

I forgot that one of the prosecutors had health issues during the trial. And the staged house. Isn't that tampering with evidence??????

What a cluster that whole trial was. Health issue, car chase, famous people, race card, beginning of the Kardashian fame, gloves.

The only thing that could have made it worse is if it was in Florida

He quickly relayed a story told by one of the SWAT members who got OJ out of the car in his driveway.

After getting out of the Bronco, the first thing that OJ said to the SWAT member was, "How did all these ****ers get into Brentwood?"

That 30 for 30 sounds incredible...can't wait for it.

A construction worker found a knife buried on the perimeter of the former O.J. Simpson estate ... and it's currently being tested by the LAPD in a top secret investigation ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

The story is incredible. We're told a construction worker found the knife years ago -- we have heard several different stories, ranging from "several years ago" to 1998, when the house was demolished.

The weapon is a folding buck knife.

Our law enforcement sources say the construction worker took the knife to the street, where he saw an LAPD cop. He told the officer where he found the knife and the cop took it.
Turns out the cop -- who worked in the traffic division -- was off duty at the time, working security for a movie shoot at a house across the street on Rockingham. Our sources say the officer took the knife home and kept it ... kept it for years.

In late January of this year, after the cop retired from the LAPD, he contacted a friend who worked in LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division (RHD). The cop told the friend about the knife and said he was getting it framed to put on his wall. He wanted his friend to get the DR (Departmental Record) number for the Nicole Brown Simpson/Ronald Goldman murder case, which he planned on engraving in the frame.

We're told the friend was indignant, and told his superiors. The brass was outraged and demanded that the retired cop turn the knife over, which he did.

Our sources say the knife is currently being tested for hair and fingerprints. It will be moved to the Serology Unit next week, where it will be tested for DNA and other biological evidence.

One source familiar with the investigation tells us, cops who eyeballed the knife think it could have blood residue on it, but it's hard to know without testing because it's extremely rusted and stained.
The investigation is top secret. It's been logged into the LAPD's computer system outside the official case file to maintain security. Our sources say, since O.J. was found not guilty, it's still an open case. That means cops can continue investigating, but O.J. cannot be prosecuted again -- double jeopardy.

...........ok.

Yes. Good job on the story. A little less fiction, but review of details.

Can't believe we are talking about this 20+ years later.

I can. The case changed the world.

Heisman trophy winning, NFL Hall of Famer and movie star allegedly murders his wife and friend.

Angry Los Angeles jurors, large personality lawyers, a judge that clearly pines for the camera, the "Dancing Ito's" on The Tonight Show, all the while the trial is televised 24/7 for nearly a year.

DNA evidence becomes a household phrase, which spawns a new genre of TV shows, the "medical procedural" along with the Kardashian family.

You couldn't make this up.

Anyone still watching this? I zoned out after the 2nd episode but caught it tonight. It got much better. Very riveting. I didn't get that into it all back then so this is neat.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

yeah, I enjoy it.

yep watching it.

How did Juice get all tough that episode? A couple days before he was almost crying when he demoted stretchface Travolta.

[MikeMaslowski]

I can't tell. Was he a super, well, wussy? Or, was he just trying to "act white" or just a whiner? Was pretty young watching this stuff. Didn't really see him talk much but the show makes him look like a baby. Wasn't sure if that was just Cuba's take on him and the fact Cuba has a whiney voice anyway.
