Episode 1 and 2 - Origin:
60s-90s: Simpson's sports career started at SCU University of Southern California, became a professional football player, low tide, 2000 yards nationally famous code name JUICE, top athlete endorsement, retired, traveled the circle of celebrities, divorced, married Nicole, transition The actor played golf and became a businessman. The Rockingham family in the 80s was like a city. He started domestic violence in 1993, divorced, and murdered in 1994.
At the same time: Los Angeles gathered more and more black communities, 65 years of Watts riots (OJ did not stand up at all), LAPD and blacks continued to intensify contradictions (proven by various events), the outflow of police gang beating blacks, the aforementioned police acquittal, outright riot (burning gas station)
In this process of escalating conflict between LAPD and black people, OJ never stood up, never regarded himself as black, and kept yin and yang in interviews to distance himself from the black community.
Two parallel lines go to June 1994, where Nicole was killed.
Episode 3 and 4 - The Trial:
At first, the prosecution had evidence of overwhelming, which was simply too obvious. OJ was summoned as a major suspect, but OJ hid and staged a great chase of the century, a carnival of low-level blacks and ordinary citizens.
Trial started, lawyers from both sides appeared, and jury was selected (273 days of complete isolation), jury visited rockingham (the defense changed the photo wall), the LAPD had too many flaws in falsifying evidence, the Forman racist tape, the blood-stained gloves failed totally try on, Summarize the statement, pronounce the verdict.
If it doesn't fit, u must acquit (acquit).
It only took jury a morning to reach an agreement. For 267 days and 266 nights, each night of jury has only his own thoughts, which keep accumulating. When the trial ends, they have reached a conclusion.
A trial that at first appeared to be a no-win for the defense turned upside down. The core is: 1. LAPD fucked up by itself, the evidence collection is full of loopholes, and the key police is total racist and perjury. 2. Los Angeles, black people murder white people, a natural racial issue, the defense's racial card is six, and there is a black lawyer who is very sophistry, who stop this cover-up? For jury, it is natural to vote for innocence Come to complain about yourself or sympathize with others, plus LAPD is messing around.
The irony is that OJ doesn't see himself as a black brother at all... He properly wiped away the dividends accumulated over the years by racial conflicts... It's really a lucky dog... Just imagine another black man killing Nicole, jury may Still sympathetic, LAPD is still full of loopholes, but there is no such sophistry lawyer who hangs up logic for him and exonerates him. Just imagine that OJ killed a black ex-wife without any reference to race. It's really uncertain how the sentence will be judged. At that time, he only spoke with facts and arguments.
None of the defense lawyers was refuted by the prosecution, and none of the evidence was unjustified, so what's the problem? But on the other hand, really? OJ Simpson as civil rights victim? Hero? It was disgusting.
Race victory? It seems. Payback for the innocent black people in front, raise the fist of the year. It seems that the justice system in this country is finally working for black people. The black community was agitated and rejoiced. The white man was frustrated and shocked. (But, then again, jury was just a scapegoat, and if Foreman's image didn't collapse, if he didn't try the gloves, if he debated normally, they might have won. They messed up.)
However, this moment of racial joy is only this moment, and the situation of blacks will not be any different the next day. Because it wasn't a victory for the black race, it was just a victory for a rich black man named OJ Simpson. He won as a rich man because he was black, and he won as a black man because he was rich. Black and rich are indispensable here. Another moment of triumphant Simpson.
The complexity of the case goes far beyond the case itself. It can even be traced back to the tragic plight of black people over the centuries. It's too complicated, everyone is a participant, and everyone has a personal sense of gain and loss.
Episode 5 - Epilogue:
One of the white lawyers exposed their racial cards on the show as soon as the case was over, and made a clear distinction with other lawyers. He was really smart, and he was going to mix with the white community. After this incident, OJ will never again. It's worth using.
OJ thought he would go back to his old life, but it's actually impossible, the vast majority of the white community he had been in contact with thought he was guilty, and he couldn't go back to the past.
Writer interviews, friend and agent interviews, all show that OJ revealed that he killed Nicole in different words. His dearest agent also began to have no doubt that he killed Nicole. OJ is not outspoken, but his words are flickering and arrogant and conceited.
When the civil court opened, he was already a complete old fritter in court, with a lot of lies and a contemptuous attitude. Civil jury can win as long as 51%, and civil can also question suspects. Civil verdict of guilty, $33.5 million.
Constantly someone has justice to take his stuff, property and even great souvenirs...
In 2001, OJ's charisma was still great, being OJed...OJ effect...
OJ is inseparable from fame. He went to Florida, mingled with lower people, depraved, and indulged. He's going down. Dress up as a clown and go out selling oranges...OJ doesn't care about anything, doesn't care about his kids, doesn't care what they think, completely depraved. Then he felt forgotten and he decided to publish a book, IF I Did It, and Murdoch killed the project. The Rongman family got the copyright, and the if was very small when it was published. This is a confession.
In 2007, after traveling to Las Vegas, OJ remembered his stolen souvenirs and planned a bizarre show of color... which turned into an actual kidnapping and armed robbery... No luck this time, sesame was made into watermelon, 13 years later, OJ was sentenced to the strictest 33-year total sentence by the judge, echoing the fine of 33 million. The judge is on payback. This is white justice.
The pity of hateful people. Truly a tragedy made in America. He had everything. He used to be a good young man with three views and hard work, but in the end he spent his days in prison, ruined and discredited, and no one cared about it. Hateful and pitiful.
