In a collective alienation from the individual, it is a mystery whose perspective, except for the parties involved, stands

#American Crime Story# is also an American drama that needs to be sorted out after watching it. Whether Simpson is guilty or not, this matter has been divorced from the factual basis, and turned into a trial of people under the premise of various labels, including race, personal history, and even ridiculously wearing hairstyles. Public opinion is swayed by the fantasy jury using the racial card, but what most people want to know from their own perspective is the truth they imagined. Under the stew, the case has become a mystery. The perspectives of many characters and the evidence with loopholes really confuse the audience whether Simpson is the murderer or not. Reminiscent of Camus's "The Outsider", the protagonist accidentally kills for no reason. The judiciary has to find out a reasonable motive for the murder from the protagonist's history, put people on trial, and even pick up the protagonist's private affairs in the name of censorship. The alienation of individuals by collectives or social machines is intrinsically similar to the Simpson case.
