From what I gather the evidence in both cases was overwhelming. How long do you think anyone SHOULD get for armed robbery? According to other similar armed robbery cases and what is prescribed by law he got what he deserved. The first trial does not even enter into the equation. He was punished for armed robbery which he was guilty of...nothing else. He is a despicable human being and deserves to rot in prison.

I watched the first trial everyday and followed it with much interest. Whilst it was alleged that there was incompetence when gathering evidence and some of the police were possibly corrupt and racist there was still a stack of legit evidence plenty enough to convict.
The jury sucked.... not us who say OJ eventually got what he deserved.
Cochrane & Co. did a good job spinning, blustering and twisting simple evidence into confusion. Sadly these "HARD OF THINKING" jurors could not see through it. BTW The gloves DID fit I have seen photos taken of him wearing them at a football match before the murder and the ones taken in court with him holding up the same perfectly fitting gloves. If his innocence depended on the gloves fitting he would have slipped them on easy.
