^^^ There’s an excellent, multi-part documentary about O.J. Simpson, floating around somewhere online and On Demand. I watched the limited series several years ago.
I’ll never forget how appalled I was, seeing an interview with one of the jurors from O.J.‘s murder trial. She, an African-America woman, said that she’d acquitted O.J. because Nicole Simpson could have escaped her abusive marriage, but hadn’t left, and thus had deserved her brutal slaying.
Putting aside the utter absurdity of this argument… Nicole Simpson had, indeed, left her husband and marriage. She was killed in the front yard of her own house!
If this one juror had considered her ridiculous opinion, there could have been a hung jury, mistrial, and re-trial. Instead, O.J. was acquitted.
The documentary presents O.J. Simpson as the quintessential sociopath, all charm and smiles while harboring an ugly, violent past.
