OJ
This case actually seems the most reasonable and just to me. In the other cases, it seemed like people either received too much punishment or too little punishment. In this case, OJ wasn't incarcerated and only received heavy fines. It seems completely reasonable to not incarcerate OJ because he isn't a menace to society. While it is likely that he killed his wife, I don't think that he'll repeat his actions. OJ took a life and it seems like he deserves to be treated how in the same manor that he treated his wife. It seems like heavy fines are a reasonable consequence because serving time in prison would not have made him a better person. OJ paid for the hurt that he caused and for the turmoil he created. In that area, I feel totally fine with the cause and it does not "irk" me. The trial itself seemed to have many faults. The case focused on the poor collection of evidence and while all of that was true, it didn't seem to be enough to completely invalidate the evidence. Also, the conspiracy theory that stated that the police were setting OJ up seemed completely outlandish because, while some of the officers were racist, the consequences for such actions could have been death. It seems like jury was persuaded away from facts and this lead to OJ's innocence. While the resolution wasn't perfect, it seems like the punishment he received from both the civil and criminal trials was reasonable and sufficient.
