I heard on the news that the 30 something million dollar judgement was never paid .

I don't consider it tragic when his own actions caused his misfortune. The only tragedy is that of his victims.

Probably the biggest setback in "race relations" in the US between the Civil Rights Act and the election of Obama.

Agreed. When the verdict was read I was working as a McDonald’s manager, the black people on staff and customers started cheering and hugging, literally crying, yelling over-and-over, “We won!”

I hate Captain Janks (Howard Stern related) but the news media was so anxious to talk to someone they let this idiot on the air as a ‘witness’ and Peter Jennings went along believing that someone actually talked like that…

I think that "honor" goes to Rodney King.

Right? His life may have started out in hardship but most of us did. He eventually pressed through and became wealthy and popular; almost venerated unlike most of us. Then he either became or never left selfishness. I’m convinced he murdered two people and a De La Beckwith style jury let him off the hook. Any remarkable tragedy was of his own making and is dwarfed by that of his victims. F that guy.

I hope he suffers in hell where he belongs.

The prosecution dropped the ball, Clark was in over her head, Darden was for optics. Sorry, Clark looked like a prosecutor at the beginning of the case, by the end her hair, shoes and dresses were the focus of the media and she was all wrapped up in it. Darden was a junior ADA with little experience, he was there for optics and PCness. Judge Ito was all wrapped up in his celebrity, Jay Leno had the Lance Ito Dancers, too much fame. The defense was Sheck and Derschowicz and Shapiro, Cochran was a Personal Injury lawyer who was on LA TV all the time, ambulance chaser who never tried a Criminal case let alone a murder. However the defense took apart the case, reasonable doubt was shown.

Everyone dropped the ball and it started with the investigators. His interview/interrogation was pathetic if anyone has read the transcript. There is so much that went wrong. The investigators were star struck and even took pictures with OJ. OJ expected to be arrested and brought a bag with him to his interrogation that people suspected contained evidence he planned to turn over. His lawyer came and got rid of that bag and no one knows what was in that bag now or what happened to it. I went through a class that studied all the evidence investigators screwed up on and there is so much. Prosecutors sucked to, but they were setup for failure by the detectives.

Shithead OJ also wrote a book called “If I did it.” There is an interview he did about the book and as he is talking about it, he starts by saying everything is hypothetical, but then shifts into describing the murder in detail saying how “I” did it and what he did with the knife and things that match the crime scene that investigators failed to ever question him about. He began explaining what he actually did. He is a murderer and can rot in hell.

Mike,

Man, very sorry to read that. Did the maggot eventually get his just punishment?

No, it never does.

My uncle, (my mother's "baby
brother) who was like a father to me, after my father was killed in a drag racing crash, and my cousin was like my brother.

Bobby was killed Thanksgiving weekend in 2012.

He was a master machinist at Boeing in Wichita from 60's until he retired in the late 80's.

He did a great deal of machine work from his home shop keeping vintage motorcycles, cars and various machines running when there was no other source for parts.

When he was in San Diego in the USMC in the late 50's he was on hand to work with my dad and uncle in their speed shop and helped with their dragsters.

He was a stoic, reserved and quiet person, but very forthright in stating his opinion and offering his wisdom and logic.

I was very fortunate to have his council when I was young, and to have his "voice" in my ear in many places in my life.

Dinesh D’Souza had on his X an interview from one of the jurors that admitted about 90 percent of the jury felt it was a payback for Rodney King.

Ronin1069, thanks so much for finding and posting this!

I was never a Howard Stern fan. But back then there wasn't much more to listen to on the daily morning commute. This prank call really captured the idiocy of the media's live coverage of OJ's "low-speed" chase.

Offering an opinion here, but I think that the media coverage of the "low-speed" chase and corresponding coverage of the trial marked the beginning of the end for responsible journalism in the United States. The cracks had been forming for some time. But after this the networks were only interested in sensationalism and infotainment to draw in as many viewers as possible.
