Lawyer for O.J. Simpson in 1995 trial discusses his complicated legacy

Carl E. Douglas, one of O.J. Simpson's attorneys during the football star's 1995 murder trial, spoke to CBS News about Simpson's complicated legacy following news of his death at age 76. Simpson, who was acquitted of the double murder of his ex-wife and her friend, died of cancer on Wednesday.

    He is innocent! So OJ is a super criminal ninja. A guy with two bad knees. Takes out two healthy adults. One was a martial artist. No injuries to himself. No knife found. Nicole and Ron owed the mob money. Nicole sister was dating the owner of the restaurant Ron worked at. He was a mobster. Do some research. They're were two sets of bloody foot prints found at the scene. They weren't for OJ, Nicole or Ron.

    The criminal trial was an indictment on the LAPD and prosecutor's office as much as it was a trial of Simpson, who allegedly exercised his hand to make it impossible for the infamous glove to fit-- damn clever, if underhanded. The prosecutors failed to make their case beyond a reasonable doubt, Simpson was acquitted, and that's exactly how criminal court is supposed to work. The civil trial revealed that Simpson was his own worst enemy, lying on the stand while testifying on his own behalf. He also got caught committing armed robbery, he filed for bankruptcy to deny the families of the murder victims from collecting his wealth. No one's a perfect hero, no one's a complete villain, and Simpson is probably as good an example of this as any.

    The burden to show beyond-a-reasonable-doubt that he was guilty was not met in the OJ trial. Mark Fuhrman was the cop who directly handled the physical evidence presented but he was shown on audio recording to be a vile racist against Blacks, calling them the n-word and saying the first thing that comes out of their mouths is a lie. That did cast extreme doubt on the physical evidence, along with other major question marks and inconsistencies about the evidence. The jury voted accordingly ... not guilty.

    OJ had a FULL life. Not many have lived a life like OJ. He had it all, but Lost it all. His life is one of the Most Fantastic Biographies. OJ was a fantastic athlete and football player in his day. He rose to the top and had a life of Privilege and then sunk to the bottom. His life was actually the epitome of one of the most shameful lives ever lived. The matter of who thought he was guilty and who didn't, came down to a tale of two people groups, with some individuals crossing over to the common belief of the other people group. The majority of blacks thought he didn't do it and celebrated his acquittal. The majority of whites thought he did do it and were shocked. And Even though OJ had financially transcended the majority of his community, (when he rose to affluence), his people group supported him over any evidence given. It says a lot about race relations today even. BUT... Even though he got off? His life in the white community and the affluent circles was OVER. He was literally shunned and run out of Brentwood and had to leave the state, because everyone knew/believed he killed his wife. So, they black balled him from restaurants, dry cleaning, gyms, shops, the golf courses etc.--you name it, He could have stayed living in Los Angeles, but he had no place to enjoy his life and he began to go bankrupt. So, he sold his house and left. The next owner of his house literally destroyed it with a wrecking ball ( one of the most beautiful Houses I've seen for it's style) because the community was disgusted by any sign of him and the shameful act of the person who owned the house (OJ). The owner even got a deal since no one would even buy it until the price was dropped to nearly a fraction of its true worth. So OJ got screwed on the house, but had no choice but to leave, as he was run out of the area socially. So, He rose to the Top and Fell to the Bottom. He got off on killing his wife. But he went to Prison for 9 Years ( that's a lot of your life), for something else. I think the guy got his Karma. I do. It started in this life and who knows what he'll have beyond it. But I just hope he admitted it to his kids and apologized for killing their Mother before he died. I really Do.
