The People vs OJ Simpson: American Crime Story

[KChiefs1]

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

His mother always maintained his innocence from what I've read, so I doubt the confession.

AC's wife has longed talked about all kinds of shit OJ supposedly said...maybe from there?

Is it reliable? I don't know.

It kinda does fit the bill though along with the suicide notes, the suicide chase in the Bronco, etc. Basically it wouldn't shock me if he actually said that.

Hard to say.

I found it somewhat interesting that he didn't admit to it in any way in any of the notes or chase. Being despondent and suicidal, it seems like he'd lay it out there, but that may have been his ego trying to keep him less "dirty".

Plus, they had DNA on his socks, on his glove, in his car, and carpet fibers from his Bronco at the scene. One of his gloves was at the scene.

It was literally as open and shut as you could get, but because DNA was such a novel technology and the prosecution didn't present it well, the jury supposedly didn't buy it.

Wasn't the dna found with preservative in it or something wacky? dna on the socks was a key point for the defense

3 is going to have more on Kris K.
How did OJ and Robert K know each other? Friends, but how did they meet?
College, business?

Supposedly some type of anticoagulant, but later reviews of the material seem to hint that was a story mostly ginned up by the defense.

OJ was the beneficiary of a historically incompetent prosecution along with a jaded jury. The DNA in his car along with his blood and glove at the scene is unimaginably damnable.

.

1) The gloves were soaked in blood then frozen and unfrozen multiple times. That would shrink the leather.

2) The cut was on his left hand, which is the glove that was left behind at the scene. Glove comes off, hand is cut.

I remember hearing a rumor that he had arthritis in the hands and took medication for it, but during the trial his defense had him quit taking it so his hands would swell more making the gloves not fit.

possible, odd for the glove to just come off though

The Dream Team episode was enlightening. They hated each other.

MASSIVE ego's. Differing motivations.

Travolta is still hard to watch.

I think this is probably the truth also. OJ did it. Furman probably did something with evidence to make it go smoother. The black community had been ****ed over by the cops so many times for years, they were just glad to see someone beat the system. Him being guilty was even better.

With the advent of social media we now have evidence of how many times the LAPD crosses the line just like the black community was saying. Whites were saying don't commit crimes then. We are finally dealing with now.

Ep 3. Robert Kardashian on being famous-"Being famous is feeling, hollow. It is no good without a pure heart."

That had to be put in as a dig.

Damn OJ

[MikeMaslowski]

Was OJ such a whiner like Cuba portrays? Cuba is a sniveler.

Odd for a driving glove to come off when in a life and death fight?

John Travolta is a really bad actor....
