OJ Simpson has died of cancer

[TURBO UNO]

The day of the verdict, freshman year, 4th period art class. Our teacher let us watch it on TV, but only if we would write a report on it afterwards. Everyone cheered when he was announced innocent.

You had to write a report on it? Why? It was art class

I know, lol. It was a compromise. The whole class kept asking if we could watch it. I think teach wanted to as well.

First thing I looked for was a deathbed confession. One of the biggest stories of my childhood. Mid 90s were crazy.

1996, was the first year I vividly remember the most. This was a big thing. “Save the juice, or squeeze the juice” and the glove don’t fit. Vividly remember my parents always playing with me and asking me if I wanted to save OJ or not. Needless to say, my ppls think OJ was innocent (even tho he was a sellout) lmao.

Anyway….yikes

His son lowkey was suspect but they wanted the big fish

 

[DonCigaro]

OJ son didn’t do it either. I remember hearing about Nicole being a drug addict that owed money to some mob boss dude. She hung out w a lot of sketchy people I’ve heard.

 

[DB Cooper]

I still find the whole confrontation suspicious. That gruesome of a double murder and not 1 MF in all that surrounding heard anything?

I’m curious as how teach would’ve reacted had everyone said no to watching it

Maybe someone did and did not come forward. Also, It's not like they were in a row house or apartment complex. Add to that it's, OJ, NFL defenders could barely tackle him. Give him a knife and he'd run for 10,000 yards in a season.

Regardless of whether he did it or not, I don't think there's any debate that he shouldn't have won the trial.
The cops' racism tainted that trial beyond repair.

This.

The doc also showed how big a role EGO played in that entire trial...not just from OJ.

According to everyone involved in the prosecution, it was always someone else's fault when something went wrong Ron Shipp mentions how no one else wanted to testify after he got cross-examined...etc.

I wonder if Ron Goldman's Dad was equally as upset with all of those white Brentwood folks who couldn't put their pride to the side for the sake of justice

Whether he did it or not, I don’t know, I wasn’t there. But the prosecution lack of doing an actual investigation had me looking sideways.

[1995]

There was a kid in grade school who had this OJ Simpson slammer for pogs

Not the juice man

That is so 90s love it

A little light reading for those still wondering what the real killer would have done. OJ wondered too.

 

[Mister Meaner]

He was on his way to becoming an uncle to many on that platform w/ Cam & Mase. Him, his blueberry juice and stories about girls w/ daddy issues is what I’ll always remember. Still considered the goat rb to many doing what he did in the time he did it. Dude was a monster in all facets of life seemingly. Not passing judgement cuz I’ve never peered into the case and all the details. My tin foil hat is lost in my college boxes as well. From what I know, methinks he did that ****.

That book there don’t help neither even if I ain’t got time to read it. Some ppl strangely appreciated the audacious approach after the verdict.

RIP to everyone.

the whole defense team cursed

You mean cursed us with the Kardashian clan. That is literally the lingering effect of that trial. We would never know the Kardashians without the OJ trial. They built an empire off that trial.

 

[fluid hips]

Yea no. No one was checking for them. Kim was known as Paris' assistant.

Ray J put them in the spotlight

Exactly. The whole TMZ era of entertainment "journalism" was born out of that trial. Harvey Levin who founded TMZ gained popularity from covering the OJ trial. 24 hours cable news channels came about because of the OJ trial (outside of CNN). There was so much of a demand to be constantly updated. All of those multiple true crime shows that exist are from the after effect.

1990-1996 should be studied. It's not talked about enough but that was one of the most crucial eras in history because of everything that happened in current events, art (movies, music, television), sports and technology.

National enquirer and sun have always been around. Think tmz blew up with the Michael Jackson death. Don't think Harvey Levin started tmz until years after OJ trial

Definitely did it, but the verdict also seemed right based on how the whole state botched the entire thing beginning with the initial response.

That's how I've always viewed it since I've been old enough to review everything.
