geared Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Dead at 76. Notorious for definitely not murdering two people back in the 90's, also had a successful American football and acting career. He was not half bad in the Naked Gun film series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Must remember not send flowers. Court TV coverage was shown on BBC2. Seems fame can buy you an innocent verdict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Bundy Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Crikey, that's a shock. I was in a restaurant in New York when everyone got up and started watching the TV when he was trying to get away in his white jeep. A massive rumour was that his son was the one that actually killed his wife but OJ was so guilty. The not guilty verdict was universally seen as a reason to stop mass riots breaking out. I was working in The Bronx when the verdict came through and the celebrations outside were huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I remember Simpson trying on a pair of gloves during his murder trial that didn’t fit. I’m sure it was because of this he was found not guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had DNA evidence against OJ, but since it was new technology at the time, it wasn't given the weight it should have been. Perhaps if the crime had happened a few years later, he'd never had got away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well have made off like that to protect his son. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
