OJ had the top legal eagles of America who could clobber most any defense, any evidence. The defense team was so weak (in performance, credentials), laughably obvious to the casual TV viewer, perhaps by design.
I've done jury duty. Jurors are only to decide on facts presented, put aside the nuances, personal feelings/experiences, etc.
No doubt OJ's jurors couldn't let pass this opportunity to see a wealthy Black mega-celebrity 'finally' be able to legally and in high profile thumb their noses (theirs/the jurors, not necessarily OJ's?) at white America. JMHO.
