No idea, and listing all her sex partners was a really dick move. It had nothing to do with anything. They were playing to the black women on the jury trying to dehumanize the victim and make her look like a slut. Typical defense ploy in cases like these.

You are correct and I apologize for my tone but as a black woman it is really irritating to read so many stereotypical comments. Please try to educate yourself. In the 1970s and 1980s when Obama was coming up, approximately 32% of black Americans were living in poverty, which means that 68% were not. More than half…

I still remember the look on Cochran's face. He looked like a kid on Christmas morning.

First you say Obama missed the back youth experience and then you say he didn't have the poverty experience. Are you equating the two? Are you saying every black youth in this country grows up poor in a ghetto? You obviously know absolutely nothing about being black in America and you sound rather idiotic spewing…

Probably every other black person in LA had directly experienced racist treatment by the LAPD or knew someone who had. Let's just say that during that trial, a lot of chickens came home to roost.

Not with that jury.

That was Dominick Dunne and those were the kind of people he regularly hung out with. He wrote a book called "People Like Us".

She'd never heard of him before the murder? What star system did she come from? Jeez Louise, even people in Lower Slobbovia heard of OJ.

Bugliosi's book was a lot a ranting and raving but he did make some good points. Although given the client, the atmosphere and the jury, I don't think even Bugliosi could have scored a conviction. Toobin's book is the one to read.

It sure is. I'm going to check this out after every episode. I remember a lot of the trial but not 100% of it.

You heard right. As soon as I saw that glove fiasco on the TV I said hot damn, there goes the trial.

What was he supposed to do, throw the trial? Cochran did the job he was hired to do. A defense lawyer's job is to use every legal means to get his client off, whether or not he's actually guilty. That is what Cochran did. You may not like him but you can't deny he was a great lawyer.

This series is full of interesting anecdotes. I can't begin to imagine how Christopher Darden must have felt when he read in the LA Times that 76% of black people thought he was an Uncle Tom. I mean, that had to burn.

I remember watching the press conferences immediately after the verdict. They had one for the defense team and another for the prosecution team. Johnnie Cochran was grinning like he had actually seen Santa Claus come down the chimney. Gil Garcetti was visibly holding back tears. And Christopher Darden actually…

Time Magazine reported it during their coverage of the OJ trial.

That was why the prosecution wanted to avoid all mention of his past. In fact, the jury never got to hear one of Fuhrman's more unsettling comments — that he got his best kicks from torturing black suspects. He actually used the word torture.

Nope; in fact, when I heard about it, I almost collapsed laughing. From the very beginning of the trial Darden acted like he was the boy wonder who was going to show up Cochran and make him look like he wasn't all that. Darden never knew what hit him. Cochran was nobody to mess with. Whether or not you agreed…

They had to have a black prosecutor on the team. This case was so racially charged that to the black community, an all-white prosecution team would have looked like a lynching party.

She thought Fuhrman was their best witness since he found the bloody glove and she didn't want to lose him.

OMG Cochran played Darden like a slide trombone. "N—— please"… Poor Chris never had a chance.
