So OJ got a Twitter account and his first post is...

I think I learned more about LA from that documentary than I have from living in LA the past five years. The LaTasha Harlins trial may be the worst legal outcome in modern US history that people outside LA don't even know about. Community service for shooting a young girl to death in the back of the head as she clearly is walking away? Who wouldn't riot seeing the video evidence and knowing the murderer did 0 seconds of jail time.

On the plus side it seems like the city government and LAPD have really improved. Reading the local paper here things are generally squeaky clean compared to Chicago stories I read from '02-'15, but Chicago seems to actually be turning a corner too finally rejecting the Daley family's return to power.

Agree completely; clear security video evidence for conviction, prosecutors recommending a long prison sentence, and the judge lays down several years of probation and some community service.

In the doc, it was very interesting to hear the different takes on those incidents from the community members compared to the police. Also the difference of opinions regarding how things should've been handled and who screwed up the most (detectives, crime lab, prosecution).

Ito was so worried about becoming a media darling and a star that it was in his best interest to keep that trial going for as long as he possibly could which is why he allowed the defense to present and do anything that they wanted to do. He allowed it to become a circus rather than a trial to determine guilt or innocense on thost two specific charges.

The DNA evidence was overwhelming and the defense knew it so they used Schenk to tear down the science and then made the trial about everything except OJ and the murders.

Agreed, it pointed to one person on the planet who just happened to have been married and had children with one of the victims, live within a couple miles of the victims, have no alibi at all for the time of the murders, had physically abused one of the victims multiple times in the past, and just happened to have a fresh wound on the same hand that the killer injured during the crime.

Their only chance at an acquittal was to claim massive conspiracy by racist cops. Perfect storm of prosecution/detective mistakes and an ignorant jury bought it.
