Thoughts on O.J.

With the evidence I feel that O.J. could have been convicted guilty. However, I believe that it is mostly because the persecution lacked the communication skills to persuade the jury. The case was really not new and because he was famous he had the advantage of the public. Other stars have had their stories and cases in courts too, but I believe this one was different because it was different. He was so determined to get certain lawyers and had that special lawyer group. He was not convincing whatsoever and he contradicted himself so much yet he'd smile and wave at the public. It is fascinating because he sucked so much and the money that he had could possibly be a reason why he wasn't convicted. It could also be because the people wanted something different and everything about the case was out in public. I feel like good for him if he can do that, it just shows how much farther we have to go in the court system. It also says a lot on us the people and what we like and how much attention we put to something so irreverent. It is amazing how he got away with it and it was very sloppy. At the end I feel like the consequences of what this trial didn't give will be given to society and will put guilty people to the test as well as change how the media receives celebrity's convictions.

  1. I understand where you are coming from. I also agree with the fact that his fame and money gave him advantages than ordinary people who don't have those advantages. If he was an ordinary person, the way this case ran wouldn't have happened.
