Only two of those people were proven guilty in court and then got out later due to their wealth and power. The other two are innocent until proven guilty and 1 of them is dead and died an innocent man.
Yes, they all got out of it despite all of them being guilty. Because they're rich.
Your opinion does not make someone guilty. There was not enough evidence to convict.
Not enough evidence to convict OJ? Are you fucking joking?
If the glove don't fit, you must acquit
He wasn't convicted.
I'm aware. And it wasn't because of a lack of evidence.
It was because the defense was able to cast doubt on the evidence because of how terribly it was handled. The best evidence in the world won't help if the police and the prosecution screw it all up.
Like do you really not know what jury nullification is? For real??
Innocent in the eyes of the criminal justice system does not require the rest of society to ignore the evidence against them, it just means they don't face criminal punishment
The criminal justice system does not weigh the issue of innocence at all, they weigh the issue of guilt. So these people declaring, OJ WAS FOUND INNOCENT, nope, it doesnt work that way. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty, they did not declare him innocent and never could.
OJ wrote a book titled "if I did it", and then proceeded to explain in great detail how he did it. How much more obvious can it get that he did it and got away with it?
The nice part about that is that the Goldman family got the rights to the book and the released it with this cover:
They didn't change the name. The 'if' is there. It's in small grey letters at the top of the I.
The law is blind, and should be.
I personally am not, and prefer not to be. It is silly to think the law and a citizen should hold themselves to the same standards and methods.
Not guilty in the eyes of law is not the same as innocent.
