I had a class once where a reporter came in to discuss various things he had covered, including the OJ trial. He said the consensus among the reporters was, OJ did it, but the LAPD and prosecution botched the case so badly it got him off.
That’s the whole thing, it’s a system that’s good at sending black men to prison if they’re poor. The old Chris Rock bit about if it had been OJ the bus driver it would have been open and shut and on death row.
The consensus I've usually heard is that the prosecutors were so busy enjoying their 15 minutes of fame from being on TV that they failed to secure the easiest slam dunk in court in history.
