Furman lied about having used negative racial lanquage.

Oh, ok. I wasnt sure if buckymcnix meant something a bit more substantial, but apparently not
Fuhrman's use of racial slurs had no factual bearing on the case and was brought up solely to prejudice the jury and further solidify their intent to exonerate OJ. (as if there was ever any doubt). That doesnt excuse Ron's poor judgement, and Im not suggesting as much either.

I am just refuting your original point that the prosecution was unjustly criticized. This combined with furman's lies was enough to trigger some folks "reasonable doubt" threshold and both were presented by the prosecution not the defense. I don't agree with these juror's conclusions but i can see their line of thinking that led them there.

I say again, that verdict was pre-destined the minute OJ managed to get a change of venue. The jury dynamics drastically changed once the case was moved to a different part of L.A. The majority of that jury was black. NO WAY were they going to convict OJ, even if evidence was stacked to the ceiling. OJ lived in Beverly Hills, associated with high society, and was generally seen as a status seeker all around. So, all of a sudden, he remembers he's BLACK when he's charged with a double homicide? I think he knew he would have been convicted and manipulated the system to avoid justice.
