Re: What if O.J. Simpson is innocent?

I sure do not know but do know there are a lot  of people out here in California who are just not real sure he had anything to do with it. Just a lot of questions.

Re: What if O.J. Simpson is innocent?

Does anyone have the air date?  I'm curious if they cover the possibility of Jason being present at the crime scene.

@SydneyH - the series began on Sunday 1/15 and continues on 1/16 and 1/17.  It is on the ID channel.  I'm sure it will be repeated.  The whole show seems based on the premise that Jason was involved to some extent in the murders.  This is also the topic of discussion on today's Dr. Oz (1/17), if you are interested.

Thanks for posting this @dawg lover. They'll probably repeat it many times.

Well, a jury of his "peers" found him innocent, I never bought it. After watching just about every show on the JonBenet Ramsey murder and not coming to any concrete resolution, I'm not wasting my time on this. Oh yeah, karma is a you know what, he's not doing time for murder but is still sitting in prison! I wonder if he watched The People v. O.J. Simpson!?


No, they found him Not Guilty. That's not the same as Innocent.



Thank you.  There is a difference between "factual guilt” and “legal innocence." Just because someone is found “not guilty” doesn’t mean that individual is “innocent.”  Not guilty means that a jury could not find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.  O.J. Simpson was found not guilty for the murders of his ex-wife and Ron Goldman because they believed that the prosecution had not met their burden.  However, it does not mean he was innocent by any stretch of the imagination.

Re: What if O.J. Simpson is innocent?

Didn't read all the replies ...but I am not a OJ Fan..was never a football fan in any way.

I think he most likely was guilty of the murders but unfortunately (or fortunately for him) the Jury found him not guilty. It is the only system we have - so agree with them or not (like Casey  Anthony) they found him not guilty. I think him being an outcast was great. I am not so sure I believe they should of locked him up for years for this crime as I feel it was only in retaliation for being found not guilty in the murders. This was a wrong deal where they stole his property and yeah he went about retrieving it the wrong way but do you think anybody would of followed up and went after his property? Of course not..I don't think he should of gotten away with it totally but all those years? If it was anybody else they would not of done all that time for that crime.

 

It is what it is at this point..but we don't have double jeopardy for a reason..and making somebody do years behind bars in a crime that he would of otherwise received a few years if that..is not the way the system should work. JMO

Re: What if O.J. Simpson is innocent?

Going back to when the murders happened, my sister was absolutely convinced that Jason was the culprit, not his dad.    

 

Her comments on this, most of which I didn't know:

 

 

"Jason had almost killed an ex-girlfriend with a knife, assaulted another girlfriend and came after his boss with a kitchen knife.

 

He was trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as field knife training while attending the Army and Navy Academy.

 

Jason had been diagnosed with intermittent rage disorder which is commonly known as jekyll and hyde syndrome.  He had been known to blackout, hear voices and just go crazy at any time.  He had been committed to the hospital several times.  He was given medication to keep it under control, but had stop taking it months before the murders.  

 

And OJ hired a criminal defense lawyer for Jason four days after the murder, when OJ at the time was the only suspect."

Has it been mentioned yet that one of the guys "investigating" on this show, Derrick, the police officer from Rhode Island, was last on television on Big Brother, and won that season?  Somehow seeing him on this show made it all the less credible and just a bunch of people trying to make some money.

It's like they saw the success of the JonBennet shows and figured they would give it a try.

 


I love Big Brother and watch the live feeds. Derrick blapped about OJ being innocent on the live feeds. He also mentioned he was developing a show on his innocence, had evidence to back it up. Think partly why he was on Big Brother was he knew the show was happening and on the road to promoting it. It also lost all creditability when I saw it was the show he tlaked about years ago he was going to produce.

Re: What if O.J. Simpson is innocent?

There was no evidence at the scene to link Jason to the crime.   I think after 23 years, if they had something, they would have pursued it
