Inside Edition: Looking Back at OJ Simpson & The 'Trial of The Century'

Source:Inside Edition with a piece about The Trial of The 20th Century.

"O.J. Simpson’s trial for the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman riveted Americans. Inside Edition looks back on the murder and the trial, as well as what came after the former NFL star was acquitted." 

From Inside Edition

I don't think the prosecution could rest its case on the Ford Bronco chase. But that chase alone laid out so much personal guilt that O.J. Simpson must have felt about the double murders of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman who tried to save her from being murdered. And then all the money that O.J. had one him obviously trying to get out of the country and avoid being arrested and then later prosecuted and convicted. 

Just to give you a little personal background about myself in this case: I was 17 at this point and on summer vacation in Delaware with my family when this case broke. And I think I was looking forward to seeing game 3 or 4 of the 1994 NBA Finals between the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks, that NBC Sports had the coverage of. Until NBC News with Tom Brokaw broke in (this was before MSNBC) and NBC just went with this story with News covering instead of Sports. And the championship basketball game was pushed aside in favor of a tabloid true crime story. Which is another story in of itself.

Before the double murders, I wouldn't say I was a fan of O.J. Simpson, but I always saw him as tall, good looking, funny man, who was also a solid NFL analyst for NBC Sports and then later ABC's Monday Night Football. And saw him as an excellent action/comedy actor in The Naked Gun and the commercials that he did. So I wasn't one of those people who just purely hated the man and was thinking: "We finally got the nigger!" or whatever. 

But other than delivering not just a confession, but a full confession and not just admitting to your murders, but exactly how you carried them out and laying the details that only the murderer could know and of course video recording your murders, I don't see how O.J Simpson could possibly look more guilty. Means, motive, opportunity, no alibi, his blood and DNA all over the crime scene, his bloody hand. I mean that jury literally saved his life, even though he was obviously guilty of both murders.
