The sad thing about all these comments is that many blacks thought he was guilty to so stop making all these stupid comments. Hell, even Chris Rock made "OJ did it" famous in his comedy stand ups back in the 90s. Sadly, if OJ killed a black woman this post would have ZERO comments. Anne Sorge, said, "We never once referred to the past. We had so much information in front of us to cover." All what information? All you did was listen to OJ on tape then decided he was guilty because his voice was on tape. All what information! Robert Shapiro told the Post, "He got a fair trial from, what I read." Robert got rich and famous off the first trial, he didn't care what happen to OJ this time, he got his money for the first one. To all the racist: OJ is going to jail for robbery, he will ALWAYS be NOT GUILTY for killing your white woman. This shouldn't be a "victory" or "payback" for you.

Fair trial? OJ's defense team was there when the jury was picked. The defense helped, along with the prosecution, pick the jury. Yes, it was a fair trial.

Somewhere, Marcia Clark quit sucking Chris Darden's dick long enough to smile about this.

Weirdly enough, I remember what I was doing when the first verdict was read. I had just started my semester at NYU and was walking somewhere on campus, when a group of about 10-20 African American students on the sidewalk started cheering gleefully. They had been watching the verdict on a TV in a window. I heard a few minutes later what had happened, and all I could think was, "that's really fucked up..." Granted, they were young, so maybe the obvious details of the case were lost on them. I only hope that all these years later, they've observed his behavior and maybe, just maybe reconsidered their initial joy.

"These jurors wanted payback, and they were going to have the payback to the day." Maybe they wanted payback because the earlier jury created a total miscarriage of justice. Those idiots brought the term "jury nullification" into the public consciousness. How could anyone be suckered by that bad acting when he tried on the glove? Hey, OJ, if you didn't do it, where are your leather gloves and size 12 Bruno Magli shoes? I'm sure LAPD officers are soooo smart that went through all this planning to find out your glove size, shoe size, stole your clothing, made sure you had no alibi or witnesses, etc. Yeah, they're a regular Impossible Missions Force. Bring in Peter Graves. Too bad, OJ. Payback's a bitch.

"Some black Los Angeles residents were also skeptical about whether he received a fair trial" Is OJ like the black Jesus or something? Why do these people love him? Is killing whitey his water into wine miracle?
