My dad was a defense lawyer and he said that the OJ trial was a “can’t lose” case from a defense standpoint. In other words, the easiest case he’s ever seen. When your entire case is built on blood evidence, (no witnesses, no murder weapon, etc.), and the police lose some of the collected blood, it’s a slam-dunk for the defense. Now they have no way to explain the loss and it could have been planted where needed by the police.
Do I think that OJ did it? Yes, of course. But it was a case that no defense lawyer could lose who was mildly competent. My dad also could not watch it on TV because the judge was so inept and everything about it was a joke.
