Do You Remember The OJ Simpson Murder Trial As It Happened?

The way it was split was that most Caucasians believed he was guilty and most African-Americans believed he was framed by Mark Fuhrman and the LAPD. The main thing that put the trial in Simpson's favor and helped him get acquitted was an audiotape of Fuhrman repeatedly using the N-word after he said under oath he wasn't a racist and never used that word. This same theory carried on to the civil trial he was found liable for later. As the years went by, less and less people believed he was innocent, especially after he released the "If I Did It" book. A lot of people feel that he was convicted in his recent robbery and kidnapping trial more on the fact that the jury wanted revenge for his acquittal on his murder trial than whether or not they thought he was guilty for what he was actually being charged with.
