television was over. now, the fate of og simpson would be settled behind closed doors, by 12 people who had all endured eight long months of a grueling trial and secret station. but, as alliterations began, lon cryer aka, juror number six, or thanks. e you wanted out of there. all i can think of in my man i had formed an opinion that i am probably going to i m also worried that i and the only crimson cryer and the 11 other jurors took their first straw poll. wow! 10 to 2 for acquittal. now, i went to the restroom and i said, oh yes. and, it wasn t because of the
body. by now, the news had the first sketching report. deputy district attorney marcia clark was with the special trial unit. she was consulted about getting a search warrant for rockingham. like tom lang s partner detective phil van, who already considered since in the suspect. he said, you know this? oj simpson. who s that. oh wait, oh yeah, naked gun. hertz commercial, right? you re not a big football fan, right? no, i wasn t a big football fan. but, i know who he is now. some 13 hours after the murders, simpson returned from la to chicago. a journey that took him from household name to potential suspects. you never thought of him as the killer? no, no. to me he was bigger than life and had a great personality. he loved, you know, being oj simpson. bad enough that simpson might be involved in the murder
yeah, i think it was in the timeframe that he was with. me i said, no you weren t. and, inside i m going he s trying to make me say something that s not true. kiddo callum was saying another og simpson, far different from the affable glad-handing celebrity image that simpson had so carefully cultivated and protected. but simpson also had a dark and violent side. one that had nicole fearing for her life. just weeks before her murder. coming up 9-1-1, i m urgency. could you get someone over here now? he s back, please? okay, what does he look like. he s oj simpson. i think you know his record. did nicole brown simpson predict her future? she said, things are really bad between oj and i and he s going to kill me and he s going to get away with it. when dateline, continues. when dateline, continues ineeeeeeee!
it was horrifying. horrifying. and, listening to that, if it was like having a sermon unloaded on his head. fuhrman insisted the conversations were no more than a basis for a movie. is this really what the reality of a democracy is, that we use a fictional screenplay to prosecute one man for doing too good of a job on a murder case and according another? i just think it s absolutely absurd. absurd to detective fuhrman that it was live ammunition for simpson s attorney. the defense maintain that fuhrman was a racist cop, who, in an effort to frame simpson planted the bloody glove at his estate. undermine fuhrman what they re thinking, and the entire lapd investigation would be in doubt. now, judge ito made a controversial ruling that would greatly benefit simpson s defense. he allowed two excerpts from
issues. so, the dna was not the problem. the problem was the jury didn t want to believe. and, so, at the end of the day you can t make someone believe something they don t want to believe. but, there was plenty of other evidence besides dna that the prosecution never showed the jury. like, the police interview with simpson. or, his emotional farewell note and the ensuing bronco chase. those were critical lost opportunities, says detective tomlin. i had a problem from day one because of evidence that they didn t want to put up. and, you prosecutors, what do you do? and they would say, don t worry, we have dna evidence. they didn t say that. they obviously implied that. we kept getting evidence, getting more and more evidence, and they weren t having anything to do with it. but, clark says, she was concerned that the broncos changed, since the police interview on the so-called suicide note might play
