What I find really weird is that apparently O.J. would still have been 100% guilty even if all that stuff really had been stolen from him.

The real injustice in this whole case is that all his accomplices, some of which committed more serious crimes than he did, will all get off light or even completely in exchange for their testimony, just so the prosecutor can make sure to nail OJ to the wall and look good. I mean, why exactly is convicting OJ so bloody important that you can reprieve four other violent felons to do it?

To be fair OJ was the mastermind of the incident so even if he wasn't OJ they would want the leader.

O.J. was offered the same deals to roll over and confess on anyone who wouldn't. The plea out was not discriminatory. The difference is his buddies were smart, their lawyers saw the evidence on discovery and then decided to not try and challenge a "slam dunk" case in court.

O.J....Not so much. I guess he figured after the first trial that the court system was a complete joke that he could work over again, big mistake on his part and near incompetence on his lawyers part if the lawyer didn't urge him to plead.

Also, for us "normal" folk, judges routinely threaten max jail times if someone forces an open and shut case to go to court. They aren't supposed to, but if you fuck with a judges docket without him approving, you better win.

OJ is dumb for doing something that was illegal, did the man not stop to think hmm we are bringing guns to this maybe we should just let it go. Regardless how this trial went he should of just stayed off the Radar.

He means he has been a defendant before.

Obviously the best plan is to galavant around like a flailing shit head who thinks he can do whatever he wants and threaten people's lives over hearsay and conjecture.

FAKE EDIT: Oh wait.
