OJ Simpson Trial

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/index/nns053.htm

The former football player O.J. Simpson was held accountable for two murders. The murder of his ex wife, Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goodman who was a waiter. This case was the most recognizable case there is in US history as there were 90 million viewers of the OJ Simpson case during the time period. Simpson hired a high profiling team lead by Johnnie Cochran which helped OJ convince the jurors of the unreliable DNA testing there was of the blood sample which was seen at Nicole's house. Goodman's family ended up suing OJ for the murder of Ronald Goodman, but eventually OJ was not convicted of both murders and was let go freely. This was an uproar in American society as the viewers can not believe what has unfold beyond their eyes. There was suppose to be another case awaiting OJ which was the grand jury, but it was called off two days later due to the excessive media coverage. OJ Simpson is still a freeman today and will live as the symbol of injustice among 90 million views.

Ultimately, there OJ had the upper end in getting away in this case as the officers believes that it was a solid case ready to be taken by a breeze. This high profiling team that OJ hired ended up saving him due to Johnnie Cochran taking him to higher heights and convincing the jury of his innocence. This case would have gone a different way if we have a different jury at the time. If we implemented a system of a test where we get well-qualified jurors, then the case could have taken a different spin and the outcome would have been different.

The voices of America was heard, but ultimately it was in the hands of jurors who did not do justice that day.
