A grotesque American story

At first, it was thought to be a century-old crime-solving documentary, but it is indeed a documentary that includes race, celebrities, and Simpson's personal growth experience. It is not difficult to see that Simpson is a person with a high dual quotient and gets along well with the people around him. He would give each of his teammates a gold bracelet engraved with their own number after each victory. He was comfortable in front of white people and spoke well in interviews. From a ghetto black man to a celebrity with national traffic, Simpson's road to fame can be said to be a quintessential American dream. Ironically, a black man who has always wanted to escape from the black race, the last life-saving card is also a black man, I am afraid that Simpson himself would never have thought of it before. Before the jury visited the Simpson mansion, his team of lawyers replaced all the pictures of Simpson with whites and blacks. On the other hand, many people say that the acquittal was won because of the card of race. I would like to say that the power of money cannot be ignored. His astronomical team of lawyers not only played the card of race, but also overturned the evidence of the prosecution one by one. , by the rules of the court, they won. The view I prefer is that this is a failure of the prosecution. More than a decade later, when Simpson was sentenced to a hefty 33 years in prison for kidnapping, it seemed very satisfying, but objectively speaking, is this fair justice? Including the previous century case, is it fair justice? In 2017, after serving ten years in prison, Simpson was released on bail and lives a peaceful life today. From here we can see that, first, his life is good, at least he can pay a high bail. Second, the punishment he received was only ten years in total. What about the two victims who were killed, their lives stopped forever. After decades of observation, is the Simpson case a victory for money?

O.J.: Made in America quotes

  • Marcia Clark - Interviewee: [on whether to have OJ Simpson try on the leather gloves that was recovered from the crime scene at Rockingham and Bundy] Chris says I want to do it and I told him in no uncertain terms why we should not be doing this, and he said if we don't do this: they will, then I said let them and we can show why it was a bullshit experiment why it was never going to work between the shrinkage and the latex, it's never going to fit in the same way, don't do this: it was the biggest fight Chris and I ever had.

  • Fred Goldman: [referring to OJ Simpson answering the questions asked to him during his deposition in the civil lawsuit] He'd lied about everything! There's not one honest bone in his body. He's lived a life of fraud and being a fake for God knows how many decades, to a point where I think he just believes his own bull.
