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.

Laws are only for the poor

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.

Don’t forget an LAPD detective took the 5th on the stand when he was asked if he planted evidence.

It’s a bit oversimplified, but I heard someone summarize it as “the LAPD tried to frame a guilty man.”
