I think the most frightening part of the Simpson case is not Simpson's acquittal, but that without the defense team and a team of criminal investigation experts that Simpson hired at a high price, Simpson would almost certainly die. Fang’s so-called irrefutable evidence, if Simpson is just ordinary people like you and me, then the prosecution can almost easily send him to the electric chair with these flawed evidence, which means that the police and prosecutors can use no technical content. The clumsy means of easily framing an innocent person, such a judicial system is more of a threat to ordinary people than a mere Simpson who may be a murderer. Think of a lawyer and think of the famous Simpson wife murder case in the United States. Simpson's defense team did a lot of work and successfully turned a criminal case into a confrontation between whites and blacks, and they built momentum in public opinion. But what made Simpson exempt from criminal responsibility was that there were obvious spears in several physical evidences put forward by material evidence experts and police evidence, as well as a series of irregular and non-procedural operations by the police. The defense team, of course, must tell the story, and public opinion must also build momentum. But it is the evidence that decides fate. Of course, many years later, Americans slowly reminisced about the race war, and there was a two-level reversal of their views on Simpson. In addition, the star was jailed for a crime. Most people think this person is problematic. . As for whether his wife was murdered or not, only Simpson himself knows.

O.J.: Made in America quotes

  • Marcia Clark - Interviewee: O.J. Simpson? Uh. I never heard of him until 1994. I was never into sports, and I couldn't even tell you what game he played. I thought he was a has-been.

  • Peter Hyams - Interviewee: I believed he was innocent. I was like everybody else, it was incomprehensible that my friend could do this. I snuck into the jail to see him and there's this guy that was my buddy and he looked emaciated. He was in an orange jumpsuit, and he was shackled to the desk in front of me. Then he looked at me on the other side of plexiglass, close as he could be, and he said, "I swear to God, I didn't do this." I believed him. He asked me if I kind of would be the chronicler of the whole thing. Would I write a book about the whole thing. I backed away from that. Then, in a moment of ultimate surrealism, I'm sitting with OJ and Lyle Menendez walks behind him. And I just went, shit, this is more than my little pea brain can handle.
