When you drive to someone's house in the middle of the night with a huge knife and an outfit concealing your identity.. it's not a chance meeting or unintentional murder.... The fact that him and his pathetic weasel buddy, Kato, had likely done some Crystal Meth, or smoke some crack, is only somewhat relevant. OJ was jealous and was goin to "get that b..." period. The Prosecutors could have gone for Misdemeanor Aggrevated Assault... and that jury wouldn't have convicted. LOL.... Mike tioedong

A common form of suicide, but hard for someone else to do...especially to a lady sitting in a chair... So maybe there was reasonable doubt...as for Blake, I agree: he got someone to do it but they tried to prove he pulled the trigger..., and the OJ case should have gone for second degree murder...an obvious rage murder from cocaine/anger, not a planned murder. Maybe they need better prosecutors in LA... I haven’t followed the cases, but the BBC today makes note that the fatal wound was a pistol shot inside the mouth…

It was a difficult case. The prosecution strategy was to make Blake the shooter, put the gun in his hand. Though I believe he was involved, I doubt he was the shooter. I disagree about Blake.

Obsessed by personality, easily hoodwinked by charismatic defense attorneys and, possibly, unable to believe that one of their celebrity icons could be guilty of anything. Clueless in Hollywood. Like we always knew.
