(3,110 posts)There are still people convinced that the LAPD framed him. I know the LAPD has a history of corruption but that case was blown by the prosecution. His defense did benefit from the residual anger of the Rodney King beating and acquittal of the officers.

(3,110 posts)Why do you think he was framed?

(53,443 posts)I can't fathom any other reason for them to have carried the blood around and for the blood in the car to have the preservative in it. I think they felt he was guilty and would likely get off without a strong case.
If you are talking about the samples being in the trunk of the detective's car, that created some reasonable doubt but not the blood in the bronco.

(3,110 posts)I don't understand the fascination with OJ's parole hearing. He is an absolute POS that got away with 2 murders, he needs to stay locked up.

(33,424 posts)he was convicted of, not a crime where there was no conviction. If he was not OJ he would have never received the sentence he did for the Las Vegas crime. It would have been far shorter. He has been a model prisoner and should be released.

(8,419 posts)All the evidence they needed was provided, due to other bias they refused to look at the evidence. In addition, the OJ jurors looked at him a black man who would support their cause, the tRump voters saw a white man who would support their cause. In both cases they could give a morning shit about who supported them, only about themselves.

(53,443 posts)but I do have a lot of respect for the Constitution. The fact is the cops lied about why they climbed that wall and all because they were too damn lazy to get a warrant.
