11 1/2 minutes of pure comedic genius.
Was OJ Simpson high on speed the night of the murders?
“Absolutely not!” said defense attorney Johnny Cochran today. “And a simple test of any of OJ’s blood found at the crime scene will prove it.”
I had never seen that skit...pretty comical. Did you notice that Orenthal was only wearing one glove? That part made me laugh.
The ESPN Made in America documentary is one of the best sports documentaries I’ve seen.
He can finally rest easy knowing Nicole's killer is dead.
Just breaks my heart to hear the news. Hopefully he gets Dahmer as his celly in hell
I watched the slow speed chase at the Deadwood. It was surreal. 100 people watching a slow speed chase at a bar.
It was fantastic. The FX drama series about it was really good as well
I just remember being so pissed because I was a Houston Rockets fan and they interrupted the Rockets-Knicks NBA final game to switch over to the slow speed Bronco chase. They took an NBA finals game off the air to show it! That is crazy when you think about it.
It was the Rockets. Pretty sure they put it in the bottom corner of the chase lol
Lots of sports that day
for once a black guy doesn't get incarcerated but everyone's sure he did it? why is his acquittal considered farcical? i know the trial was followed closely by the public but at the time i wasn't in a position to pay any attention at all.
Maybe location makes a difference. Was in Chicago... It sucked ass missing the game.
I was unaware he had cancer, which is a shame, as it would have been a rare opportunity to root for cancer.
Rockets-Knicks. MJ's first year of his first retirement.

You're right! This just totally jogged a part of the memory that I'd forgotten. They did put it in a small box in the corner of the screen!
Highly recommend Made In American documentary that ESPN did a few years back. They obviously spend a great deal of time on the trial itself, mistakes made by the prosecutors, odd decisions made by the judge, etc.
After watching it, I’m convinced that even had the prosecutors presented an airtight case he’d have still been acquitted due to everything else surrounding the case. His popularity, history of racial problems with the LAPD etc.
I was in Mumbai drunk off my ass. My mother kept calling my aunt's joint where I was drinking to tell me to turn the tv to cnn to watch this idiot drive through LA traffic.
I mourn for the Norm Macdonald jokes that will never be written.
It was over as soon as Ito let the Furman tapes in. It's too bad both him and OJ couldn't go to jail together.
The only karma was at least he spent a little time in prison.
Remember it well. Having dinner at The Village Bistro (RIP) in Arlington. However, we did not find it so compelling to stay to the end, which we caught at home
Nah, it had already gone into the toilet, and CourtTV really didn't have a very long life after that.
I will say though, I will never forget the day the verdict was read. Here at work, they had a big tv on in the conference room, and the place was packed. Probably a pretty even racial split among the group. When the verdict was read, the AA folks burst into applause, and the white folks sorta shook their heads and went back to their offices. A truly eye-opening and troubling experience.
I never understood folks cheering a murderer being found innocent
