Exactly. Caught the dude off guard, in the dark, in a seemingly narrow walkway, with big *** knife.
You know, I picked [Bill Hodgman], Bill didn't pick me. The minute I got the case, I ran to Bill and said, “Please do this with me. Please be my partner.” I begged him. I begged him. And he had to go home and talk to his wife and think about it. And I'm like, Oh God, ahh!
It's not the writers’ fault, you know. They didn't know. They based the script on a book that has glaring inaccuracies. Toobin got a lot wrong because he's not behind the scenes. He's not there. And so he has third-party sources he talks to that don't care about getting it right, or deliberately lie.
Yes. In the immediate aftermath of the trial, there were a lot of people who did not want to believe race played as big a part of the verdict as it did — and not necessarily because it was payback for Rodney King. I know that for some jurors, because they said so, it was. One of them left the jury box with a black-power salute.
But then they blew one of the greatest lines in the show. Detective Ron Phillips, wonderful guy, he was the one who called to notify Simpson in Chicago. What he actually told Simpson was, “Your wife is dead.” And Simpson's response was, “Who killed her?” Wait a minute, how about a car accident? How about an overdose? [Ed. note: In the FX series, Detective Tom Lange calls Simpson at his Chicago hotel and says, “I have some bad news. Your ex-wife Nicole Simpson has been killed,” and later notes to his partner that Simpson didn’t ask how she died.]
It's ten episodes.
