allegation of racism a part of the l.a.p.d. i mean, this was a case where people, you know, quickly drifted off the facts and quickly got into a lot of other topics and sometimes, you know, these issues, you know, they are relevant. bias is always relevant in a trial. but this was used by the defense. yeah. it was. it s interesting because the defense did have a jury consultant, a juror consultant, very nice gal. and the defense jury consultant said that the defense should get black women on the jury. they would be be partial to o.j. marcia clark knew this but she felt that over the years she had done very well with black females on juries. that he they were responsive to her. so they both went looking for female black jurors, got a number of female black jurors. marcia clark knew this was right after rodney king. l.a.p.d. was hated. this was a minority jury.
pair of bruno mali shoes luxury brand that left a bloody footprint at the crime scene. during the middle of the trial photo surfaced simpson wearing those shoes. the photo caught simpson in a lie, a big lie. on february 4th, 197, the jury found simpson liable for the two murders of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman. many have said this was the trial done right. in a civil case, john, i remember that you, the civil team, you presented the blood evidence in very short order compared to marcia clark and christopher darr den did it on days on end. friday afternoon i put detective vannatter on the stand for 12 minutes. everybody sat back and thought it would be two or three days of direct and cross-examination. how about the fact that they didn t have the picture of o.j. simpson wearing those bruno mali shoes which he so infamously described
the defendant orenthal james simpson not guilty of the crime of murder. o.j. murderer. 10 years after the trial i sat down with simpson one-on-one in miami to hear his thoughts on the case. o.j., how is life? pretty good. my golf game is in good shape. i m happy. when they say o.j. simpson, they think trial of the century. a huge population is mad out there about the verdict. you know that. yeah, yeah. i know the media i know that for sure. i realize now, it took me a long time to realize i couldn t understand why people so into my trial. why i m on tv. people say i watched every minute of the trial. i have more people tape the whole thing. do you know how much tape that must have taken. they say if you need it, i got all the tape. do you hate the media?
hotel room. trying to retrieve some of his own stolen memorabilia. charged with armed robbery and kidnapping. so he went on trial it was a very strange trial. prosecutors seemed determined to get him. and there were overtones of the trial in l.a. two police detectives said oh they didn t get him in l.a. so we re going to get him here. which obviously is not the way the justice system is supposed to work but in a way that s how it worked. he was convicted of pay back. pay back or not, the murder trial was one of the most extraordinary in trials in history. 20 years later what s the latest? i think one of the forensic legacy is that it established d.n.a. is important. and i think normally you take years and decades
neighborhood opinion. you cannot protect them from if it s a high profile case. you cannot protect them from being infected by somebody s opinion. somebody else s opinion. every time i have lost a trial and i always thought i wish i had done something differently or, and looking back, do you wish you had done something differently in terms of your participation in this trial? in the trial or in the investigation? or in the investigation. anything. do you have any regrets? i don t have any regrets. if there is a regret. it would be that i wasn t there to close down the crime scene investigation. make sure that everything was covered and everybody did everything that they should have done. but overall yank of anything i would change. can i defend christopher darner on one thing? putting the glove on o.j. simpson. i know everyone has taken him apart on that. i don t think he had any choice. first of all o.j. simpson had put on weight in jail.
