Ironic, since OJ, after he became famous, was never part of the black community
again.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

There was no play the race card. One of the
detectives really was a racist, and some of
the evidence was seriously questionable, and
all of that traced to that detective.
It would have been malpractice not to bring
that up.
Mind you, this is my memory, years later, and
details get fuzzy with time, but I do recall
clearly that I was convinced by the testimony
and the blood evidence that the guy had planted
some evidence. Also by interviews with him
at the time.
Racism isn't a fantasy. In the US it's very
real. At the Republican convention yesterday or
the day before, two people, maybe more, threw
peanuts at a black female camera person who was
working at the convention for some media outlet,
and they said to her, "This is how we feed
animals." That's racism, pure and simple, and
here we are in 2012. In the South, it's very
much alive even now.
That doesn't prove OJ was innocent. I don't believe
he was. But the trial, the criminal trial, did not
establish guilt, to me or to the jury. And when it's
not established by the evidence in the trial, not
in the media, you can't convict. Or you are not
supposed to.
