The evidence was there. I read Marcia's book and I paid very close attention to that trial. In any event, even if you would have had overwhelming evidence, absolute smoking gun eyewitnessess, not to mention his own bizarre behavior, the JURY is what decided that case. His change of venue move guaranteed his acquittal. period. Once Johnny played the race card, it was a done deal.
as for the Uncle Tom part: OJ was all about White High Society until he needed his fellow Blacks to bail him out of a murder rap. Sad but true.
