The jury finally verdict not that he was innocent, but that he was guilty but the evidence was insufficient, so he was not guilty in the end.
I just read the book run of his life. The author especially criticized Marcia for being too conceited and lacking in darden ability. In fact, this case is obviously an escalation of domestic violence to intentional homicide. At the beginning, the case with solid evidence turned out to be insufficient. Blame the defense.
And the defense lawyers won't be honorable. If there is no history of LAPD's racial discrimination and previous riots, and without those special backgrounds, they may not be able to win. But whether this case exacerbated the racial conflict in some way is unknown.
If this case is placed in the context of the current me too movement, it is estimated that public opinion is one-sided in finding guilt...
My favorite point of view in this case is the media portrayal, especially the sexism of the media against Marcia at that time, which is so unimaginable and familiar today twenty years later. Twenty years ago, everyone discussed racial discrimination, two Ten years later, when everyone talks about sexism, it seems that the times have progressed, but it seems that nothing has changed.
ps. Jiaojiao's acting is really good, it's a matter of course and effortless, after seeing the grand slam is inevitable. Marcia himself likes and appreciates Jiao Jiao's character characterization.
Finally, when I saw these people in real life, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The big things can be moved on in the end, and life is just like that.
Update on Marcia and Chris:
Actor Sterling, who played Chris, said that his relationship with Jiaojiao is surprisingly similar to the development of the characters in the play. The two would stick together before and after filming to talk about acting and life. In the scene in front of the hotel room, Sterling couldn't help but want to kiss Jiao Jiao when he was shooting the first scene. The director said you can play whatever you want, so Jiao Jiao kissed her without knowing it. Jiao Jiao was like mind blowing shock . Every time I took a few shots later, I thought Sterling was going to kiss her, but she didn't. I have to say that the chemistry of the two actors was really sparkling, and I couldn't help but feel a little good. (When Jiaojiao was in the video with Kaikai, the big devil said that your chemistry was too hot. I don't wanna know how, Jiaojiao be like casually blurted out that they had sex for the authenticity, I was shocked...)
Both Jiaojiao and Sterling felt privately that something happened between Marcia and Chris, something was going on...
Later, after reading the autobiography of Marcia and Chris, I never imagined that the biggest doubt in the Simpson case, apart from whether Simpson was the murderer, was whether Marcia and Chris had a relationship...
I have watched a lot of interviews between the two of them on youtube, and every interview must ask this question. Marcia was on the Ellen show when the show was on, and Ellen asked her three times did you make out? She kept laughing until she deflected the question and didn't deny it.
Marcia's book said that after the nude photo incident, Chris comforted her that you looked good in the photo, Marcia cried and said don't you think I'm fat, Chris laughed and said no way man, you know it gave me woody (physiological response). Shocked to see this... Marcia's description of Chris in the book is so indulgent and inspirational that she has never written so much about anyone else, not even her ex-husband. She said that there are many people speculating whether she and Chris are lovers, and here comes the point! Marcia once again did not deny it, but just said that this problem is irrelevant, her relationship with Chris is beyond lovers, because only the two of them have experienced this together, so only the two of them understand.
Chris said that after the case he never thought that the question that everyone asked him the most was whether he would marry Marcia, and he said that maybe the case was too tragic, so people hope that some good delusions come out of this. In the book, he is frankly attracted to Marcia. She is wonderful. During the interview, he said that if the two of them were really together, everyone would blame them for losing the case, thinking that the two of them did not give their best because of their feelings. , which they cannot afford.
In a sense, Marcia survived. She has been writing books since the Simpson case and is a best-selling author. The show's analysis of sexism, especially Jiaojiao's portrayal of her, made her a big hit again to some extent, but this time she became a hero in everyone's hearts, a sexist who suffered from sexism 20 years ago. Strong career women and single moms, not ambitious cold bitch anymore. Seeing her current state I finally feel a little comforted, finally something good come out of it.
And Chris never made it. The case completely destroyed his faith. He never seemed to come out of the shadow of glove fiasco again. The wonderful thing is that he got married later, and his wife's name was Marcia. Is this just a coincidence, maybe only Chris himself knows.
