With all that went into o.j. Simpson story was wondering if king would ever put his spin on it. Also with the new series that came out and the documentary ( which was an incredible piece of work) wondering if u think he is guilty or innocent.

With that trial which took forever and all the witnesses that testified, the lapd, furman, the proof of the planted socks, the blood at bundy, ect,ect. Basically it comes down to 2 pieces of evidence. For innocent, the couple who were on there first date walked by the scene and testified that saw nothing and no bloody paw prints from the dog. Which were all over the side walk. That blows up the time line and proves he couldn't have done it. On the other side is the blood evidence at the scene. The only other person that would go along with that DNA was Simpsons son. Strange to that he was a chef and earlier had a knife to his girlfriends throat. I think it was his girlfriend. Might have been someone else like his boss or something.

Do u guys and gals think he did it, didn't do it, son did it or someone else. Also I doubt king would do a fictional book on it bc of the sensitivity but he might do his own version of the events. His story telling would make it tops than all the other books written about it that has a lot of bias in it bc of the agenda of the author

I think OJ did it. But I'm willing to consider any further evidence.

One thing I never could figure out was why neither of the prosecutors put holes in the "glove doesn't fit" thing by pointing out that they were leather and had been wet. Leather shrinks when it gets wet. Just sayin'.

Because they were the ones who told him to put it on. Anyone dumb enough to dig themselves into that hole won't stand a chance of climbing out. I happened to be watching that day, and my first thought was "eeewwww gross" quickly followed by "it will have shrunk".

I took a high school law class and one thing I remember is a good lawyer never asks a question he doesn't already know the answer to. Fishing expeditions don't usually end well in a court room.

That was a sad moment for that family. I can't know for certain but given his violent past and extreme jealousy, it's likely he did it. I've never heard about the theory that his son did it. Dear God. It's hard to watch what goes on in this world.

Will SK do a book on it? I doubt that. Writing about icon still among us, nah. Have you read Rose Madder? That was a horrifying story of domestic abuse. So painfully real.

I think he did it or had someone do it. Obviously he got off on the fact that Fuhrman definitely killed any chance of a guilty conviction. Although I do find it quite intriguing that OJ never wanted to be seen as black until it basically saved his butt.

Plus OJ was wearing latex gloves when he put the other ones on. Nothing goes over latex gloves very well. Also, OJ took anti-inflammatory meds for arthritis and he could have also had swelling. One of the all-time dumbest prosecutor moves.

Marsha Clark said this case had the most evidence against a defendant that she had ever seen in a murder case.

Innocent? come on now.

OJ's blood at the murder scene.
OJ's blood plus Ron and Nicole's blood in his Bronco
OJ's blood plus Ron and Nicole's blood at his house
The missing glove from the murder scene at his house
A Knife wound on OJ's finger
A long history of domestic violence and stalking

The footprints at Bundy were enough for me.

The Juice is pretty close to getting squeezed from prison isn't he?

Marcia wrote a book about the trial called Without a Doubt. Very interesting and enlightening. I think he did it. Why would an innocent man lead police on a ridiculous car chase while holding a gun to his head, threatening suicide? At least he is where he belongs now!
