What did u think, and how did u feel after the fact?


At the time I was really thinking guilty (especially after watching the movie and for weird antics afterwards).

Looks a WHOLE LOT like he did it, but somehow I've never quite been totally convinced that he was physically or intellectually able to do all that stuff and get away with it.

I think the "Jason Simpson did it" theory was never quite given due attention.

I thought that Maggie Simpson did it?

You're thinking of The Burns Conspiracy

Now a major motion picture starring Ed Asner.

Physically? The man was a pro-football player in a jealous rage.

Intellectually? There was no real plan here. He slit their throats, and in the process, cut himself, and their blood and his blood were everywhere.
Unless you believe that a whole bunch of cops, from flatffoots to forensics, some of whom didn't even know each other, all decided on the spur of the moment to pin the crime on O.J.for no discernable reason, all the while unaware if O.J. would simply have a rock-solid alibi that make them all out to be conspiratorial liars.

As I said, overall, it seems an obvious conclusion that O.J. did it. I've certainly never defended him... and never will. It's just not grossly less plausible that Jason, his son, did it. There's a new book investigating it, actually, and it sounds suprisingly reasonable from several forensic standpoints.

I'm not saying that it was right. And I'd never say that murder is justified--but he didn't exactly kill mother Teresa.

This is the thing I never understood about this case. Instead of facing the stark reality that the facts spoke pretty loud and clear as to OJs guilt, people focused on the fact that Nicole wasn't "innocent". What the fuck does that have to do with the price or tea? Especially when OJ wasn't the faithful partner people were accusing Nicole of not being.

From Saturday Night Live's "The Fake News", with Norm MacDonald:

"O.J. Simpson did not spend Mothers Day with his children. When asked why, he replied, 'Duh! Because I killed their mother!' "

"Two more jurors were removed from the Simpson case after revelations of conflicts of interest. One of the jurors once worked for Hertz and the other juror once held Nicole's glasses while O.J. killed her."

"O.J. Simpson reportedly has a videotape that he says proves who actually murdered Nicole. He said he intends to use this tape as evidence in his upcoming civil trial. What's on the tape? The first Simpson trial."

"Tempers flared in the O.J. Simpson trial this week. Fred Goldman stood up and shouted, 'Stop giving me that damn look!' O.J. replied, 'Look, I didn't give you a look. You're just mad because I killed your son.' "

"It was revealed this week that defense lawyer Johnny Cochran was once accused of beating his wife. In his defense Cochran stated, 'Hey, at least I didn't kill her like some people I know.' "

"Thurman Thomas of the Buffalo Bills has just broken some of O.J.'s records recently. He now leads the Bills in touchdowns and yards. Next on his list: Killing two people at once."


From Chris Rock:

"(After the O.J. verdict), black people were like, "We won!!! We won!!!" What the fuck did we win? Every day I check the mail for my O.J. prize: nothin'."

Can't forget:

"After trying on the bloody glove, OJ said 'see? These are definitely not the gloves I wore when I killed them'".

Yeah... a 50-something-year-old former football player with screwed up joints killing a strapping dude half his age AND another person, tearing through a quiet L.A. suburb altogether unseen in a white Bronco, jumping fences, recovering after running full-speed into an air conditioning unit, changing clothes, catching his breath, looking pretty... yada yada yada... all in less than 30 mins. I suppose it's possible. Just has always sounded a bit "Hertz commercial" to me.
First, Relax.

As logistics go, he didn't just "slit their throats." Forensics suggest there was, at least in the case of Goldman, quite a struggle. And as I recall, the blood crossover (that is, their blood in his Bronco and house; his blood at Nicole's place) was notably small. Those were two of the sticking points for the jury as I understand.

Next, I'm not big on conspiracy cop-outs... even where racist cops are in the mix. I would remind that a conspiracy takes only two like-minded individuals to set things into motion (and only one person, incidentally, to corrupt evidence beyond repair). But I've never been convinced that the cops en masse had it out for O.J. enough to orchestrate an entire months-long drama. (And, as I think they weren't collectively too much smarter than O.J., I'm not so sure they could all intellectually pull off a full-scale framing.)

I just look at O.J. and realize that he's not an intellectual giant. That he never slipped up enough -- during or after this affair -- to blow his cover is simply remarkable to me. I totally believe, though, that if he didn't do it, he knows who did.


As I said, overall, it seems an all too obvious conclusion that O.J. did it. I've certainly never defended him... and never will. It's just not grossly less plausible that Jason, his son, did it.
