I will say this forever, why Garcetti charged OJ in downtown was the stupidest decision he ever made, OJ lived in Brentwood and killed in Brentwood, he should have been tried there.

From what I've read, there were a couple reasons. First, the Brentwood courthouse could have never accomodated the trial, logistically. Second of all, trying the case in all-white Brentwood probably would have triggered another riot, so soon after the Rodney King trial.

Someone posted that the glove was a mistake by the prosecution. I agree, but it was just one of a million mistakes. And, ultimately, it might not have matterd anyway. He was never, ever, ever, ever going to get convicted by a jury at that time period, with those demographics. Never. Never, ever, ever. There is fascinating stuff out there about Marcia Clark going down to Phoenix to practice for mock focus group juries of black women. Almost unanimously, they hated her and loved O.J. No matter how they tried to spin the evidence or tweak the way the facts were presented, black women were not going to convict him in that case, at that time, in that city. Never.

Logistics, that's short term thinking in a case of this magnitude; I would have expected more from the LA DA's office.

Potential riot? Garcetti needed to look beyond the knee jerk reaction to the Rodney King incident and look at it for what it was; OJ lived in Brentwood and was not some ghetto thug. He married a white woman, was more a hero to middle America than the 'hood. He chose to live there. Look at who his confidants were, Kardashian, etc. They were all white. It would have died down.

Which is why it was so bizarre that his defense attorneys were able to play the race card so effectively. O.J. used to have white LAPD officers over to swim at his house. They let him off the hook time and again for domestic incidents. And yet, suddenly, the jury was asked to believe that he was targeted like "some ghetto thug." And believe it they did.

HARPO spokesperson denies story:

A spokesperson for Harpo Productions denied online reports Thursday saying O.J. Simpson would confess to killing Nicole Brown in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

“It’s not true,” a Harpo spokesperson said in an email to the Star.

The reports began surfacing online Thursday and were attributed to the National Enquirer, which quoted a Harpo source as saying Simpson had already confessed to a producer of Winfrey’s. The source reportedly told the Enquirer he stabbed his ex-wife in self-defence.

Not arguing over which lawyers botched what, but there is no courthouse in Brentwood.
West L.A., Beverly Hills and Santa Monica are the closest.

Wait, if OJ admits to killing Nicole, is it still OK for us to call all white people who thought he was guilty during the trial racists? Because that's not something I'm willing to just give away.
