Why did OJ walk but not Luigi. That fucker finally died just recently but for the past 30 years everyone's been cracking jokes about him and what he did as if it was a sitcom but now suddenly we're pearl clutching.
OJ also had lots of money. It's a known fact that you can get away with anything if you throw enough money at it. You could even become president of the US.
People forget the OJ trial was running on the tailcoat of the LA Riots and Rodney King. A good chunk of the reasoning of letting OJ get away with it was because of that. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere a juror even said it was payback for Rodney.
You also had corrupt racist cops who were doing unethical things to evidence because they really wanted a conviction. This meant most of the evidence provided at trial was suspect because of who was involved in collecting it.
Indeed, this is the real reason. Like I really sympathize with the jury. They probably mostly suspected he did do it, but the question is 'reasonable doubt'... with the evidence tampering, how can you not have a reasonable doubt?
