I think race may have had a small factor in the outcome of the case. This was only a couple of years after the Rodney King riots and everyone was prepared for another set of riots if OJ was convicted. The main factors though was simply poor prosecution and bad detective work. Too many mistakes were made when the case was being put together and the prosecution did not explain the evidence properly. Several jurors said afterwards they didn't understand exactly what the DNA evidence meant. Remember, this was one of the first cases where DNA was presented. OJ got off simply because of bumbling cops and better defense attorneys.
Bad detective work? You must be one of those who bought that whole cops planted everything line of bull! As if those police would want to risk the little pay check they do get for the likes of this pig right? Use some common sense here will you?
As far as the trial, I also think it was the camera's in the court room that played a big part of this. Judge wanted air time and to make money off it afterwards, state reps wanted to show off and get money afterwards too as did most of the players and this pig is no different he was just waiting til he thought it would be enough time to have passed.
I am sure the riots they had with Rodney King Verdict also had a play in the outcome but not by much.
As I said before they had less proof in the Scott Peterson case and they sure got the guilty verdict but yet with blood,foot prints, motive, access those 12 people could NOT send the pig to the gas chamber where he belongs.
I guess the cops also planted the limo driver to show up earlier than supposed to right? Just thought I would shove some more goof ups over to the cops side for you..
Even all these years later I am still amazed that some people will STILL put the blame on the cops and not on the ONE who got away with the PERFECT MURDER... What a shame.
