It was the trial of the century. I remember thinking he got away with murder, and glad he was sent to prison for stealing his own stuff. Now, years later, and a new outlook on the justice system, I think this aithor's article poses a lot of things to prove OJ's innocence and I now doubt he was guilty and was over sentenced for theft.

But one thing I do know is this------Once law enforcement zeroes in on a "suspect", guilty or innocent, they can AND will twist and manipulate the evidence in their favor to make it seem a slam dunk case for a conviction. They will "cherry pick" evidence; evidence in favor of guilt is accepted as truth and any exculpatory evidence which favors the defendant is discarded.
People who have so much vitriol for felons, and especially sex offenders, do not even have a clue---not even the faintest idea--- as to how easy it is to get falsely accused and convicted. It can happen to anybody.

Things like the Avery case, and now OJ, make me take a step back and really look at the state's case, and see if there are holes in their story.
Then there was that bloody glove. ugh...
The trial that seemed to go on for weeks with the jurors locked up and the entire nation watching on CourtTV, oh what a channel... when they still just sat in courtrooms and just watched.
I have not seen the show but have seen an advertisement for it, but in the documentaries I have watched about the case in general, there didn't seem to be as much doubt presented other than the cops that did some nefarious things and of course that car chase.. Oh that was a doosey.... the white bronco jokes for the next decade were priceless. I remember there being confirmed mishandling of evidence and that the LAPD did take a serious blow for that and I think the OJ thing was on the heels of the Rodney King beating... It was a volatile time for sure.
What I do know though, we'll never know what happened in that house that night, nor will we know with any certainty who did it. Same thing with the Avery case, although the timing of things in that case are certainly suspicious among the many other things, which is probably just as true for OJ. At this point I don't really care, he has paid for his misdeeds of that time period. The running from the cops, the lying cheating and stuff he did on his deceased wife, etc. OJ has paid dearly for the mistakes and poor judgements he has made over time. Some might say the cost was too high, but we don't really know. It could just be Karma at work making up for lost time. So why are they dragging this man back out again in to the spotlight? Because Avery got such a warm welcome? From what I understand he is of rock star status in the Wisconsin prison system, although according to a recent article, his roommate would beg to disagree...
Did all the police officers get together at the scene of the crime and say, "I know lets frame the juice." They would've had to come to that conclusion and planted evidence in a very short window of time. This situation is not analogous to making a murderer. OJ was pretty well liked by everyone, USC football star, NFL star, and becoming a movie star.
I don't buy it.
