O.J. Simpson dead at 76

[dafarmer]

Prosecution lawyers were so incompetent, they should have been tried. Dried leather after it has been wet shrinks, cop with racist messages as a witness!

It’s also worth noting that the average Joe without the means to hire the defense team OJ did probably gets found guilty.

This times 1 million.

Times 20 million if average Joe is black.

A juror was interviewed years later said that 90% of them knew O.J. murdered Nicole and Ron.

OJ and Bill Cosby often make me wonder about how white people judge black people for things. Both were extremely popular in their day for acting white. Both turned out to be terrible humans. And yet white people tend to really judge/dismiss Black celebrities who embrace Black culture.

The world is a tiny bit better today.

wtf?

Ofcourse they did

I look forward to cancer’s upcoming book, “If I Did It”.

All I can think of is the classic Chris Rock skit.

“OJ is busy looking for the real killer. So far he isn’t found on a golf course or between a white woman’s titties. OJ, I think you better look again!”

Putting rubber on ruins most things.

Sorry, I can't believe an offseason thread made it this far without some inappropriate joke.

There's been inappropriate jokes. It's just that none of them have been sexual in nature. But I digress. You are correct and I'm quite disappointed in all of us.

They let a member of the Black Panthers be on the jury.

My brother shaved "OJ" into the back of his head in huge letters during the trial. He also once had a Mohawk named Jeffrey that he wrote a suicide note for when he shaved off the mohawk...

I wonder if he will shave OJ into his hair again now.

Replying to myself here, like it's not weird...

 

[Jakester]

Wasn't he devoting all his time to finding the true killer? Man, now we may never know.

Only person sad today is Kris Jenner because she wont be able to enjoy that BBC anymore.

Just.... damn.

He could have been one of the more beloved people in his era. Had it all, But based on his rage Guns and Roses made a song about him. Now I hope nobody attends any services.

Great running back, I wonder what happened to him after he stopped playing?

4:08.

They made some mistakes, but I don't think they were incompetent. And even if they were, incompetence is not a crime.

Yes, Mark Fuhrman was a big mistake. Yes, letting OJ pretend to try on the glove was a mistake. Easy to see in hindsight. Furhman, maybe should have been seen.

But the prosecutors took on the case like any murder case. They met the standard of care. OJ just wasn't any murder defendant. He had money. A lot. And Fame. And he put together possibly the best defense team ever. Without that team, I think OJ is found guilty, even if the prosecutors make exactly the same moves.

And I believe Clark and Darden were either fired, or quit to avoid being fired.

These Norm M posts are absolute classics.

Norm rightfully eviscerated OJ on a regular basis, and had the balls to do it even though it eventually led to his firing from SNL.

The biggest mistake was moving the proceedings out of Brentwood.
