I wonder if there are people out there that care enough for a funeral?
Or maybe just toast him and toss the ashes in the trash?

Here are 12 facts Toobin uncovered about the jury:

1. Of the 24 jurors and alternates, 15 were African-American, six were white, and three were Hispanic — “in a county,” Toobin notes, “that is just 11 percent black.” This partly reflected the defense’s attempt to seat a largely African-American jury, because of research that revealed very early on that black and white people perceived the case much differently.

2. Over the trial, 10 jurors were replaced by alternates — but no alternates were ever removed.


3. All 12 of the jurors who ultimately decided the case were Democrats.

4. Two of them graduated college.

5. None read a newspaper regularly.

6. Nine rented homes; three owned.

7. Two had supervisory managerial duties at work.


8. Eight watched TV tabloid shows like “Hard Copy.” (Defense research found that people who liked tabloids were more likely to think Simpson was innocent.)

9. Five said they or a family member had “endured a negative experience with law enforcement.”

10. Five thought it was acceptable to use force on a family member.

11. “Nine — three quarters of the jury — thought O.J. Simpson was less likely to have murdered his wife because he had excelled at football,” Toobin wrote.

12. The prosecutors didn’t exercise all of the peremptory challenges available to them to strike potential panelists.
Also, the defense removed all pictures of OJ with white celebrities from his Brentwood estate and replaced them with OJ and black celebrities before the jurors toured it during the trial. They also replaced his mostly antique furniture with more modest furniture that they felt was more appropriate in a black person's home.

The prosecution objected to this but Lance Ito let the tour go on as planned. The defense felt that this would make OJ appear to be more of a "poor black man finds success and keeps his humble roots" narrative and many feel it helped sway the jurors.

I worked with OJ years ago on an HBO series "First And Ten". He was a nice enough guy. I have two friends who worked with him on "Frogmen" where he played a Navy Seal and received extensive training in knife combat skills. This was right before the murders.

"David Zucker, who directed the films, commented on Simpson’s death and his acting and included a barb about his murder trial that first appeared in a book about his films.

“R.I.P. Nordberg. ‘His acting was a lot like his murdering: He got away with it, but no one believed him,’” Zucker wrote."

For the jury, the trial wasn't about O.J.
It was about justice denied for the Rodney King acquittals.
Burning down your own hood has morphed since then to going elsewhere.
The Koreans were a tough bunch.

let's be honest here,
his acquittal was nothing more than PAYBACK
for the rotney king beating.

The jurors are just as guilty as OJ.
