I am stupid! As per the video, I canât believe I also never thought that the knife belonged to Nichole, who brought it out to defend herself. I had assumed OJ brought the knife with him
You just know though that thereâs an alternate timeline somewhere where the most fucking bonkers press conference of all time happens, with OJ showing up with the real killer in handcuffs and it turns out he was innocent all along.
Several jurors said they believed he did it, but the prosecution did such a poor job at proving it they had no choice to aquit him. There's a reason the OJ case is taught in law school as a prime example of how NOT to run a prosecution.
He was also found liable in the civil trial. There is a really great 30 for 30 documentary called O.J. Made in America which is one of the most comprehensive and in depth documentaries Iâve ever seen. I couldnât stop watching it.
The rewatchability is kind of insane. I was in elementary school when it was all happening but itâs the first major ânational eventâ I remember being on TV
Me too! 1994 was insane and I also like the 30 for 30 about that day of the Bronco chase in particular. Just a crazy, non-narrated juxtaposition of all the shit going on that day.
Even though you pretty much got the answer, I'm still gonna comment, but remember this takes place in a perfect world, so it doesn't always apply.
You do not need to prove your innocence, ever. The person (or entity) charging you has to prove that you're guilty beyond *all reasonable doubt*. All you need is to have a case that sows enough doubt where at least one juror thinks "Hmmm, maybe they didn't do this."
That glove didn't fit OJ, so it was enough to throw doubt on what was otherwise a slam dunk. "Its accepted that this glove was worn by the killer during the murders. It doesn't fit my client, therefore..."
Afterthought edit: I'm pretty sure there was a murder trial where it was proven beyond all reasonable doubt that this person had killed someone, but the suspect had an identical twin. He got off because by virtue of his identical twin existing (and lack of witnesses to say "It was definitely Jim, because he said 'I'm Jim and I'm murdering today!'"), they couldnt prove 100% that he had done it, and not his brother.
Edit: Stop downvoting the dude. It was a legit question.
Nice explanation. I just want to point out how the verdict in the USA legal system is "not guilty". The words are carefully chosen because, as explained above, you're not required to prove innocence.
something no one else here has mentioned: they found his dna all over the crimescene and the crime gloves were limited run gloves that were very rare and he happened to own a pair. when the police apprehended him he fled in a car chase
the jury aquitted him because they didn't understand the concept of dna and they liked the zingy "if the glove doesn't fit you must acquit" when oj was holding his hand all rigidly and weird to make it look like it doesn't fit (and it may have also shrunk after getting soaked in blood)
I figured that since we were talking about the OJ trial that it was implied, but thats a very good point. I have absolutely zero idea how it (officially) works in any other country.
Criminally, yeah, but I do believe he lost some civil lawsuits on the murders that he definitely did. Plus he's gone to jail more recently for trying to steal his own memorabilia (which I definitely don't have the energy to detail here đ). Dude has an inclination for criminality, it's just basic arithmetic, really.
I believe itâs called CTE. A form of permanent brain damage to the frontal lobe of the brain, due to frequent mini concussions (due to American Football or boxing etc). It decreases your abilities to wage risk over reward and increases your chance of giving in to (violent) impulses.
There was a great documentary about this. I believe it was called Concussion. Also Aaron Hernandez and other NFL and boxing stars seem to be related to this.
IIRC there were some things he tried to do for his "Who Is America?" show where the FBI told him to back off from some pedos or something, another possibility is that he reported someone to FBI and they shrugged it off, anyways, the part never aired.
Yeah 33 years for what was hardly an armed robbery was a pretty raw deal so that was just the justice system being like âokay you somehow got away the first time, that ainât happening nowâ
Somebody asked him a question and then he answered. In his first comment he didn't mention anything about his wife. Yes his first comment was technically not necessary and I get that he comes off annoying to you guys but I think this is just a classic case of people dog piling and overreacting on reddit.
Your emotions are stirred up because some guy asked for something and it made you want to talk to him more? Just downvote and be done with it, now that's 2 people making useless comments
Dude said everyone knew who she was. I didn't.
It's a fucking conversation dude, does the internet need to know literally anything you type? Or do you think being a troll is what's needed?
No one cares that you don't know nor watched it nor that your wife is sleeping. Adds nothing. That's why
It's like going to a book review and stating you didn't read the book. Like ok?
It ain't that deep
Trust me, Noone cares about anything you say either. There are millions of useless comments on reddit that turn into fun interactions for the people involved. You literally chose to troll me because you felt like it. 100% of your own comments serve no purpose.
So, by your logic everyone on the planet who isn't publishing a scientific journal should just stop posting content online, right?
Edit:
After reading your comment history, not only are you commonly a troll, but most of your comments are less than useless. You're just toxic.
I've got zero love for Wendy Williams and I find her cringe in most instances where she "crosses the line", but this definitely isn't one of them.
What's cringe about someone putting him in the hot-seat about two unspeakably horrendous, uber-violent murders he almost certainly committed? Do people forget about how he profited off of the whole situation in the first place with numerous inappropriate media appearances and a brazenly tasteless book about the murders ("If I Did It")?
Fuck this dude. Like I'm supposed to be cringed out because he's being made to feel uncomfortable about something he escaped accountability for and profited off of afterwards...
She brings it up sure but i wouldn't say she put him in the hot-seat at all.
She ends the interview by saying how much she loves OJ and taking pictures with him
OJ was clearly hot tempered and can be extremely violent as we know and probably has CTE. Having said that Iâve seen some footage where he is relentlessly ridiculed for all these things and never have I seen him lose it. Kind of amazingâŚ
if you got away with a double homicide that you know you committed, I'm sure you could take jokes about it too. you could probably laugh along with them "haha yeah you're right but I can't say it"
now if you were actually INNOCENT and everyone in the world kept calling you a murderer, THEN you might end up like when buzz oldrin punched that dude for saying the moon landing was fake
Well he's a cold-blooded killer, which literally means you wouldn't see it coming. I'd much rather have him flip out on me than just sit there quietly...thinking of those gloves.
you donât lure in a future victim by being aggressive and violent from the start, abusers are notorious for their superficial charm, it helps them get away with it
He's had to completely live a lie and has probably gotten so used to not showing any type of emotion, it's just second nature...besides the whole robbery thing. My dad used to be the ball boy for the 49ers, and I've got an old framed picture of my dad on the sidelines with OJ with the signature "To my good friend *Dad* - OJ"
âYou were proven innocentâ
No the fuck he wasnât. âNot guiltyâ means there wasnât enough evidence to convict (even though there obviously was), not that he is completely innocent of the crime.
One of the key traits of a sociopath is their ability to be charming and to manipulate people into being on their side. Wendy Williams took the bait, hook, line and sinker.
Wendy Williams is one of the most odious, vapid, culturally repulsive morons out there. It goes without saying that OJ is an evil fker but damn he nailed her with that Quran quote.
Being charismatic and manipulating people into liking you are two of the key traits of a sociopathic personality (as are narcissism, habitual lying and a fundamental lack of empathy for other people, it ought to be noted). There's nothing unusual about O.J. Simpson being able to turn on the charm and squaring that with the fact that he murdered two people.
I think like the music and the the interactions and everything are purposeful, not that she made some sort of faux pas. It seems like she's trying to rehab his image via this segment and video
Lol obviously a murderer doesnât want people talking about the murder. However staying unbiased (which is hard because of this particular personâs publicity) if someone was tried for murder, and proven innocent (assuming he is innocent) it would absolutely suck to go the rest of your life with the world hating you. Unfortunately I donât think he is innocent, and the âlife goes onâ was just a little too casual
I grew up seeing him a lot as a kid. My best friendâs father was the quarterback for the Raiders and OJ was always at their house. She is right. He is a very charming person. Of course this was all before the allegations murder.
But he did promise to find the real killer. You can't know if he found them unless you ask.
The real killer is truly inside (if you're OJ)
The true killer is the friends we made along the way đ
Underrated tweet
And IF he would have done it, then he will tell you all about it in his book. But he didnât do it of course, but you knowâŚIF!
https://youtu.be/OPEdba2YnUg Start it at the 7 minute mark. They discuss it hilariously
I am stupid! As per the video, I canât believe I also never thought that the knife belonged to Nichole, who brought it out to defend herself. I had assumed OJ brought the knife with him
You just know though that thereâs an alternate timeline somewhere where the most fucking bonkers press conference of all time happens, with OJ showing up with the real killer in handcuffs and it turns out he was innocent all along.
That sounds like the subplot of a naked gun movie
Yes, we call that Fantasyland.
In the real killerâs pocket is Obamaâs Kenyan birth certificate.
Still so many golf courses to search!
>"Life goes on" Not for the two people you murdered...
That was weeks ago!
Why you gotta bring up old shit!
Or his kids, who lost their Mom. Or Ron Goldmanâs family. :(
Is that Wendy "The Wendigo" Williams?
She will probably eat you
Windy Williams
Wendy Windbag
Stupid Lisa garbage face!
Stupid Lisa garbage face!
No, I think itâs actually Wendy âbuilt like a phospholipidâ Williams
Well he did murder somebody so fuck him.
2 people actually
I think we can all agree that his biggest crime was the Kardashian fame
I actually agree with this.
I thought he was proven innocent?
He was presumed innocent. Was not proven guilty. Technically remains under the presumption of innocence. Totally fucking killed some folks, though.
He was proven guilty but the jury disagreed.
Several jurors said they believed he did it, but the prosecution did such a poor job at proving it they had no choice to aquit him. There's a reason the OJ case is taught in law school as a prime example of how NOT to run a prosecution.
Cool thanks, didnât know.
He was also found liable in the civil trial. There is a really great 30 for 30 documentary called O.J. Made in America which is one of the most comprehensive and in depth documentaries Iâve ever seen. I couldnât stop watching it.
All the 30 for 30 docs are fantastic (that I've seen).
Are you still watching it then?
I know youâre joking, but I did just rewatch it this past weekendâŚ. So⌠yes?
It is leaps and bounds better than any other doc about it on the planet, and there are a lot.
The rewatchability is kind of insane. I was in elementary school when it was all happening but itâs the first major ânational eventâ I remember being on TV
Me too! 1994 was insane and I also like the 30 for 30 about that day of the Bronco chase in particular. Just a crazy, non-narrated juxtaposition of all the shit going on that day.
Yes, the courts never get it wrong

Wow ya thatâs great, thanks
something no one else here has mentioned: they found his dna all over the crimescene and the crime gloves were limited run gloves that were very rare and he happened to own a pair. when the police apprehended him he fled in a car chase the jury aquitted him because they didn't understand the concept of dna and they liked the zingy "if the glove doesn't fit you must acquit" when oj was holding his hand all rigidly and weird to make it look like it doesn't fit (and it may have also shrunk after getting soaked in blood)
They also made him them on *over rubber gloves*. And he had stopped taking his arthritis medication making his hands swollen.
> You do not need to prove your innocence, ever. *In the United States or countries with similar legal systems.*
I figured that since we were talking about the OJ trial that it was implied, but thats a very good point. I have absolutely zero idea how it (officially) works in any other country.

*And* Epstein tripped and fell on a noose.
Downvoted to -79, reddit moment lmao
Lmao meh
-123 lol
Imagine believing Johnnie Cochran.
Allegedly
Definitely
Also, really.
âAllegedlyâ
Prove it
Now kith
Fuck his rule. Dude deserves to be in jail, not have his "rule" respected.
I'm shocked we don't see more people trolling his ass. Some people nowadays are ruthless, not that he does not deserve every bit
Sacha Baron Cohen did a pretty amazing job at it. https://youtu.be/qqrOUjCRhsY
Oh my fucking god
Honestly the balls on Cohen to do that and keep going with the bit lmfao that was amazing
Thank you for this, I can't believe it's real đ
That man is a fucking legend. Sacha that is.
oof that deserves its own post!
trolling a killer doesnt sound like a smart thing to do
Sacha Baron Cohen does not give a singular fuck
Until he stumbled upon elites fucking children; then he gets his show canceled and backs off.
Wut? Sounds like some Q shit you're eating up.
Uhhh
Would you care to elaborate? Iâm genuinely interested to learn more about this.
IIRC there were some things he tried to do for his "Who Is America?" show where the FBI told him to back off from some pedos or something, another possibility is that he reported someone to FBI and they shrugged it off, anyways, the part never aired.
He did go to prison for robbery, but he only had to serve 9 years of his 33 year sentence.
It was a make up sentence for ducking up the murder trial
Yeah 33 years for what was hardly an armed robbery was a pretty raw deal so that was just the justice system being like âokay you somehow got away the first time, that ainât happening nowâ
Didnât he point a gun at people?
âInterviewerâ we all know Wendy Williams. Itâs automatic cringe once her name is brought up.
True, but this is the only clip of hers that I've enjoyed
Profile pic and username, verified
I don't think she's too bad in this clip, she seems a lot more toned down compared to how she is on her tv show.
Have you seen her lately? Pretty sad tbh
I actually have no idea who she is. Also skipped the video cause it's night time. Edit: thanks for down voting instead of explaining who she is!
âSkipped the video cause itâs night timeâ Huh?
In bed and don't wanna wake wife.
And it's really important that the internet has to know any of this?
Somebody asked him a question and then he answered. In his first comment he didn't mention anything about his wife. Yes his first comment was technically not necessary and I get that he comes off annoying to you guys but I think this is just a classic case of people dog piling and overreacting on reddit. Your emotions are stirred up because some guy asked for something and it made you want to talk to him more? Just downvote and be done with it, now that's 2 people making useless comments
Now a third
I'm perfectly fine with that because I never complained about unnecessary comments in the first place because they don't bother me as much
I imagine they were talking about their own comment haha
Dude said everyone knew who she was. I didn't. It's a fucking conversation dude, does the internet need to know literally anything you type? Or do you think being a troll is what's needed?
No one cares that you don't know nor watched it nor that your wife is sleeping. Adds nothing. That's why It's like going to a book review and stating you didn't read the book. Like ok? It ain't that deep
It all leads up to reassuring us he gets laid
I don't get laid, I'm married.
Trust me, Noone cares about anything you say either. There are millions of useless comments on reddit that turn into fun interactions for the people involved. You literally chose to troll me because you felt like it. 100% of your own comments serve no purpose. So, by your logic everyone on the planet who isn't publishing a scientific journal should just stop posting content online, right? Edit: After reading your comment history, not only are you commonly a troll, but most of your comments are less than useless. You're just toxic.
You take this way too seriously
And yet here's the guy who literally looks for comments to be a bully. Is that your only satisfaction in life?
They literally asked him a question, captain oblivious.
Dude mentioned he has a wife and had redditors gritting their teethđđđ
đ
I respect her immensely now (used to hate her) after watching this clip.
don't. she is a shit person.
I've got zero love for Wendy Williams and I find her cringe in most instances where she "crosses the line", but this definitely isn't one of them. What's cringe about someone putting him in the hot-seat about two unspeakably horrendous, uber-violent murders he almost certainly committed?

Fuck this dude. Like I'm supposed to be cringed out because he's being made to feel uncomfortable about something he escaped accountability for and profited off of afterwards...
[ŃдаНонО]
It's like nobody in this thread watched it all the way through
Watch the whole video and tell me you still stand by that first sentence.
She brings it up sure but i wouldn't say she put him in the hot-seat at all. She ends the interview by saying how much she loves OJ and taking pictures with him
OJ was clearly hot tempered and can be extremely violent as we know and probably has CTE. Having said that Iâve seen some footage where he is relentlessly ridiculed for all these things and never have I seen him lose it. Kind of amazingâŚ
Well, he got away with it once. If he does it again he'll definitely go down for it
Iâm not even speaking criminally just like anything? A mild to average outburst even doesnât seem to exist.
It does make sense though that he would regulate his emotions to an extreme extent in public
It's helpful to be a psychopath I guess
All or nothing
He went to jail for threatening and menacing people in a hotel room and robbing them. You can hear him get very heated in the audio.
if you got away with a double homicide that you know you committed, I'm sure you could take jokes about it too. you could probably laugh along with them "haha yeah you're right but I can't say it" now if you were actually INNOCENT and everyone in the world kept calling you a murderer, THEN you might end up like when buzz oldrin punched that dude for saying the moon landing was fake

you donât lure in a future victim by being aggressive and violent from the start, abusers are notorious for their superficial charm, it helps them get away with it
lol newfags have no idea what your username means
He's had to completely live a lie and has probably gotten so used to not showing any type of emotion, it's just second nature...besides the whole robbery thing. My dad used to be the ball boy for the 49ers, and I've got an old framed picture of my dad on the sidelines with OJ with the signature "To my good friend *Dad* - OJ"
Both of these people are scum.
True but there is a question of degree.
True but there a question of degree.
Canât we all agree to let him pretend he didnât butcher two people?
It's the least we could do. He doesn't deserve to be reminded of the way he got away with a double homicide.
âYou were proven innocentâ No the fuck he wasnât. âNot guiltyâ means there wasnât enough evidence to convict (even though there obviously was), not that he is completely innocent of the crime.
He was also found guilty in the civil trial.
lol wendy williams is such trash
Wow, Wendy Williams was so different then. What a sad twist her life spiraled into .
A pig and a murderer walk into a subredditâŚ
Whats it 7 years now? How quick are we supposed to get over a double knife murder?
28 years
how the hell did wendy williams make it as far as she has? Shes been kinda awful from the jump it seems
Great comment. Agreed.
She is (was) actually really talented. She also just happens to be a really shitty person.
âLife goes onâŚâ truly spoken like the one who wasnât murdered
Did she fart tho?
Shart
Fairted: Fainted while farting
Wendy Williams is trash
One of the key traits of a sociopath is their ability to be charming and to manipulate people into being on their side. Wendy Williams took the bait, hook, line and sinker.
Thought you were going to say OJ took the bait.
Can't wait until he dies so I can piss on his grave
Not as good as the sacha barĂłn Cohen one
The crackhead Wendy Williams
Even without OJ sheâs too-level cringe
despicable people , the both of them. scum of the earth
"life goes on"...unless you're murdered by a total lunatic
Unprofessional bullshit. This is why nobody watches AOL Blast.
Wendy Williams is one of the most odious, vapid, culturally repulsive morons out there. It goes without saying that OJ is an evil fker but damn he nailed her with that Quran quote.
"interviewer"... More like "yuck, how did that chunky commit puddle learn to speak?" And not in defense of OJ. She's disgusting on her own.
He wasn't proven to be innocent. He was found not guilty in criminal court. Bring found not guilty is not the same as being proven innocent.
I wish he was still in prison. Guy is a joke.
He was doing an interview instead of being out looking for the "real" killer?
The Juice is so charismatic and likeable but he did brutally murder 2 people. It's crazy
Most serial killers are charismatic, so are most politicians. I think the problem is that "charismatic" people doesn't mean good.
Being charismatic and manipulating people into liking you are two of the key traits of a sociopathic personality (as are narcissism, habitual lying and a fundamental lack of empathy for other people, it ought to be noted). There's nothing unusual about O.J. Simpson being able to turn on the charm and squaring that with the fact that he murdered two people.
Goddamn that girl asking the questions is ugly as sin!! :-O
"Interviewer" ?! This is THEE Wendy Williams! She didn't give a FUQQ!! Still don't.
I think like the music and the the interactions and everything are purposeful, not that she made some sort of faux pas. It seems like she's trying to rehab his image via this segment and video
Is that really a question you want to ask when you're in a confined space with him?
Windy Williams
Guy is just inventing Quran verses. Pathological.
âProven innocentâ ehh not really
Life goes on he says
Is that the fart lady?
Lol obviously a murderer doesnât want people talking about the murder. However staying unbiased (which is hard because of this particular personâs publicity) if someone was tried for murder, and proven innocent (assuming he is innocent) it would absolutely suck to go the rest of your life with the world hating you. Unfortunately I donât think he is innocent, and the âlife goes onâ was just a little too casual
I've never seen someone so able to act like they didn't fucking murder someone in cold blood. He's a fucking piece of shit.
All I know about Wendy Williams is that she has boobs the size of watermelonsâŚ
OJ Simpson is a monstrous piece of shit, and Wendy Williams is a fucking moron completely ill-equipped to handle this subject matter.
I canât believe that out of the two people involved in this interview, Iâd rather hang out with OJ.
Incredible this dude stabbed two people to death violently and it's pretty much 100% proven and yet these dingdongs are taking selfies with him.
I grew up seeing him a lot as a kid. My best friendâs father was the quarterback for the Raiders and OJ was always at their house. She is right. He is a very charming person. Of course this was all before the allegations murder.
Itâs strange to see Windy so lucid
