How to get away with murder

There are some things in life that are painted to be impossible to get away with. Is this really a reality? Is justice always served? Ask OJ. After his 11 month trial, and a trail of blood leading to a mountain of evidence against him the jury was still not convinced with out a doubt that Mr. Simpson could have done it. Despite Simpson pleading no contest to domestic violence charges, an incredibly shakey alibi, and on top of that the hair, blood, glove, and shoe evidence against him the jury (somehow)   wasn't swayed. On October 3rd, 1995 Oj Simpson was acquitted on 2 counts of murder.  Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman's murderer was walking free among the public. 12 years later Oj Simpson published a book titled " If I did it" in which he puts forth a "hypothetical" description of the murders from his perspective. That same year Oj Simpson seemingly confessed in an unreleased interview only available to the public as of recently. Oj again provides a hypothetical description of the murder of his children's mother, but constantly accidentally slips into first person revealing details too intimate for anyone but the killer to know. What type of innocent person would "hypothetically" put themselves in the murder's shoes? The description of the murder is too obvious to bare, Nicole's body was left mangled on the floor and yet no justice is served. The killer walks away with even the confidence to dangle his wrongdoings in front of the public, and most importantly the victim's families face. Since a person can not be charged twice for the same crime, regardless of his a confession Oj walks free. In many ways, this shows the holes in our justice system. How the wealthy, prominent figures of America can sneak above the law. It asks the important question; who is above the law?

  1. I too, find it extremely unconstitutional that OJ was found innocent even with mountains of physical evidence going against him. On top of the physical evidence going against his testimony, he continuously lied about it. He denied ever wearing the "ugly ass shoes" who's marks were found at the crime scene, even though they showed the jury countless images of him wearing those exact pair of shoes. He refuted those claims by calling it "photoshop", even though photoshop did not even exist at that time on that level. Even with blood evidence the jury found ways to disregard it, by saying the people who collected the evidence were at fault. The fact of the matter is, if OJ wasn't OJ, he would have never been found innocent. His extreme charisma, and his lovable attitude attracted the masses. No one wanted him to be found guilty. Even after stating, "I'm not black, I'm OJ" African Americans chose to ignore this side of him, and see him as the black person his appearance told him to be. If OJ didn't have his money, he would've been found guilty, and even he admits that. OJ is a very special case, and it happened to be that his cards lined up exactly in his favor.
