Wow excellent piece of writing, I really enjoyed reading it from an Australian perspective so we really only saw the media portrayed , thank you for sharing the story
Great piece, Glenn. The personal and the political and the sensational all overlapping and informing each other. I can’t believe that was 30 years ago.
Such a juxtaposition of stories, Glenn. Great piece. I remember the slow chase, thinking it only made him look guilty. I know where I was when the verdict was read. I'm still saddened by it all.
I always considered OJ a superstar running back, and enjoyed watching him play. I was in the minority when his trial was televised; I did not watch it. When I read the day's testimony in the print media I thought the case was against him. I did not hate him by any means, but I was embarrassed that the trial became a circus with lots of melodramatic play-acting (the gloves that were "too small"). I still don't understand the legal system that acquits a man in criminal court, but convicts him in civil court. I did a face palm when he was arrested in Vegas, thinking he could NOT have been involved with something so dumb. Definitely no happy endings in this tale. I still shake my head.

I always imagined O.J. would finally confess to the murders on his death bed. Maybe he did, but I doubt it.
