Not according to Marsha......

personally I think it was lost because of the makeup of the jury, plain and simple. Plus I think the Prosecution just lost a bunch of people when they started introducing the science. those working class folks didnt care squat about the science, they were bound and determined to get their boy FREE. It was the single most strategic move to request a change of venue in this case. Had OJ been tried by his peers from his OWN community, the result would surely have been different. Granted, the science could have been presented in a more listener-friendly manner, but if you think about the differences between what his jury would have looked like from Beverly Hills/Brentwood area as opposed to Downtown LA, its like night and day (no pun intended!) My instructor at Chico State is an expert in Venue cases and he is consulted for many high profile venue requests. The majority of the time, he recommends AGAINST a change in venue. (usually because media coverage is so pervasive, there's no real advantage in switching to a different community--especially for high profile cases please see the following) OJ managed to get a change in venue anyway, which, according to my former professor, was a total perversion of the process.....
not just MY opinion.
