It just spurs a lot of memories. From the bronco chase that interrupted our Rockets' first championship experience. The beginning of reality TV that the trial broadcast started. To the verdict that was cheered or jeered mainly down racial lines. I was in HS at the time so I had a lot going on but I remember being relieved at the verdict but that was just the adoration of sports stars as a youth. As time passed, it was easy to see why he became so hated.
In 1973, OJ Simpson ran for 2003 yards in a 14-game season. He still holds the record for yards rushed in 14 games. Simpson rushed for over 1000 yards each year in 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, and 1976.. All of those were 14-game seasons. 1972: 1,251 1973: 2,003 1974: 1,125 1975: 1,817 1976: 1,503
It happened while LA was still raw from the riots. People were gearing up for another on verdict day. That would've been a hoot for social media... I was in elementary school when it happened, and I still remember remarking he was guilty and the girl behind me said that he was not with the starkest conviction of a nine year old.
My favorite moment of the trial was when they called in for testimony from the thief who broke into the impounded white bronco in the police lot... and wanted to know if he saw any blood or potential evidence while stealing stuff from inside the vehicle.
Cancer bravely fought to avenge Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman and valiantly won the battle, though ultimately it was a Pyrrhic victory as cancer soon followed OJ in death.
People act like Baretta didn't kill his wife Or Spector got away with like 2 murders or the DuPoint heir that had someone cut up in a bucket THE 90S WERE WILD BABY!!!! Money made the difference The funniest thing is. . . OJ was the one . .. ._______ People could not get over The enraged anger that the society even had to have trial that they couldn't drag him from the jail cell and have a good ole fashion lynching with lemonade and parades The GALL that he used the same money justice that the others used nope. . _______ People could not let it go he was Worse than Hitler in their eyes They had to get him . . .. and then they did and gave him Murder Sentence for basic crime They felt vindicated they got that #$R#$2 !!!! Then OJ got out and once again paraded in their faces. . . . OOHHH the Hate . . . . Palpable like Palpatine! Good Bye JUICE! And it seems to me you lived your life Like a Vandal in the wind Never knowing who to sing to When the rain set in And I didn't care to know you But I was just a kid For real! Your candle burned out not long ago Your legend never WILL!!!!!!! I got no Hollar Rocket River Yes . . . I legitimate only came here for the HATE
