Watching Dateline OJ what the jury didnt hear

[FreedRadical]

4. At first I didn't think he was guilty.

As the case began to unfold I had my doubts, but I also had complete contempt for that cop Fuhrman. I have no doubt he planted evidence.

I did not dance with glee when he was acquitted, but I did believe OJ got away with murdering two people. I still do. It was the fucking cops and DA's fault he got away with it.

That said, I trace that moment in my personal history that my relationship with white America changed. Or more accurately, white America's relationship with me changed. Over night I became a potential OJ, to be feared and despised. It was a strange time.

However, I learned a lot from the sister, Denise Brown. I was a young man then, and domestic violence was not on my radar. I had no idea. Her campaign to bring awareness to the issue was eye opening for me. Before that I thought I was a good guy because I wasn't beating on women. I didn't know jealousy was a form. I didn't know being controlling was a form. I didn't know being critical of what she was wearing was a form. I didn't know I could be an abuser even though I wasn't hitting.

After my son died it used to piss me off when someone would say to me, "something good will come of this". I was like "how the fuck could that be"? I now I do crisis intervention work. I help.

I hope something good has come to these two families.
