No Way OJ

I think everything about the OJ Simpson case could have and should have been done differently. For one, if they knew that Mark Fuhrman was untrustworthy and racist, they should have just avoided using him in the case at all. This way the gloves would not have the chance to be used as evidence so OJ would not be able to try them on, and Fuhrman would not have the chance to make the LAPD's case look skewed and unreliable. Also, they should not have allowed so much media coverage so early on in the case because I believe this large media presence really helped set the jury's mind on a verdict. The location of the trial also should have been moved to a place farther from home in order to insure a more fair trial. This change in location may not have done anything if there was the same amount of media coverage, but if there was less media coverage and the trial was moved early on while everything was kept more under wraps, then I believe that both sides (more so the prosecution than the defense) would have a better chance at having equal chances in the trial.

  1. I think that the prosecution basically shot themselves in the foot. It seems as if everything pointed against OJ and they still found a way to screw that up. Reasonable doubt seemed to be his way out.
