Goes beyond stupid. We just got over covidiots banning you from the grocery store because your three year old wasn't wearing a bandana mask. OJ truthers are in that same class. They ignore reality. And they're in the OJ cult until death...Once you program somebody they stay that way for life. [Reply]

I got bad news for you man, that's most of the human race. Nobody lies to nobody as much as people lie to themselves. People want to believe they understand the game and know how things work. That's not the case.
Most of us spent a lot of time learning about one thing in life and are pretty well ignorant of everything else. We might borrow a lot of beliefs from our religion, political party, or field of work but we largely don't know jack about shit when it comes to everything else. [Reply]
I went back this weekend and watched OJ Made in America, which to me is the best 30 For 30 ever and arguably one of the greatest documentaries ever made, and I still to this cannot believe the LAPD, Marcia Clark, and Chris Darden got the easiest slam dunk case of all time handed to them on a silver platter and still all somehow found a way to fumble it away and fuck it up....

We're in violent agreement. You can program people and if you're good your programing sticks for life. Which is what happened with OJ. World class law firm mass formulated people into thinking OJ was a civil rights icon when in reality he was a coked up wife beater and a homocidal maniac. [Reply]

Which was hilarious on so many levels esp. considering OJ didn't give one single solitary fuck about black people until the trial...he despised black people pretty much. [Reply]

When I think of the top male Black Icons of the 80's...I think of OJ Simpson, Bill Cosby, Prince, and Michael Jackson.
So a murderer, a rapist, drug addict, and child molester walk into a bar..... [Reply]
Seen today where O.J's attorney who said a few days ago that the Goldman's would get nothing now says he's changed his mind and is going to pay them. Kinda interesting [Reply]

I saw a doc years ago in which one of the assisting prosecutors said that Clark/Darden were so certain of a conviction before the trial started that they just never prepared for the unexpected. Basically they were overconfident and presumed the outcome.
They also never took into account the racism aspect. It never really occurred to them that the jury would be as biased as they were. [Reply]

I don't think he said he is going to pay. He said he would accept the claim against the state and then let the Nevada legal system take care of it. I think Vegas is a state that makes it very difficult to collect civil debts....the reason he was living there and Florida. [Reply]

Well Vegas ain't a state....
And collecting a civil debt isn't the same as making a claim on the estate. Even if they have difficult garnishment mechanisms (they really don't from my reading of them), a claim against an estate is an entirely different animal. And if he has the assets to open an estate, as a judgment creditor the Goldman's will be considered a priority claim.
If there's much to get at all, they'll get something out of it. But people holding that kind of debt usually get pretty cagey about not accruing equity in property and spending their resources as they get them. They live as high as they can by and large.
I'd be surprised if there's much left to get ahold of. [Reply]

Makes all the sense in the world...I think they thought they could show up, go through the motions, and voila a guilty verdict.
Darden's glove gaffe is like the biggest dumb ass idea in the history of the U.S. court system... [Reply]
