He couldn't put on the glove because it was planted by the police, who were convinced of his guilt but wanted more evidence. The jury decided there was insufficient evidence.
On the other hand, while circumstantial evidence leads a lot of people to conclude his guilt, I have little respect for those who say "Of course he did it!" You know this for a fact? How? I stick with the jury's decision.
Likewise, this jury could have been reacting to the previous decision, but I don't know that, and neither does anyone else. They decided, and unless evidence is shown to warrant a retrial I'll stand by their decision. |
SS you know I respect the heck out of you and I will give you the shirt off my back if you would ever need it. The only thing I find a bit troubling is the assertion of "planting" evidence. I must have missed the the federal civil rights trial against the members of the LAPD that participated in the conspiracy to frame Orenthal James Simpson of a mass murder. Why didn't the
Dream Team go after the city of Los Angeles in a civil trial for framing OJ? It was not as cut and dry and many mistakes were made in both the investigation and the presentation of the case. All OJ's attorneys had to do was plant a seed of doubt in the juror's mind. Which I submit, was easy in the totality of the circumstances.
