This case should've been tried in Brentwood, where the crime occurred, and where O.J. Simpson would've been judged by a jury of his peers. Gil Garcetti used his muscle to move it downtown. At that point, it was no longer about murder and escalating domestic violence, and O. J. Simpson was home free.

@@kevinchambers1101 really good point. I remember ppl fearful of that.
My late uncle was employed by the DA's office and many times worked with Marcia. He liked her and told me she was a hard worker (this was years before the OJ trial).
Marcia gave me the kick in the ass to stand up for myself, as a single mother of 2 & going through a divorce at the same time as this trial, while working for a Fortune 500 company who treated women like me as a liability. My voice steamrolled many changes in the company. Thanks, Marcia! You were a kick ass force defending Nicole! Unfortunately, Darden made rookie mistakes...and should've been overruled by the DA's office.
Total admiration for Marcia
The interview I didn't know I needed. She's fascinating. I was about 10, when this all occurred, only superficially knew what was going on. May have to check out her book.

Marcia Clark is very intelligent and a great prosecutor and she won countless murder cases. The jury in the OJ criminal trial were really stupid and biased and it never even mattered that they had tons of strong evidence of OJ's guilt. Thankfully the civil court trial where he testified and badly, that jury was very sensible and found him responsible for the brutal insane murders of poor Nicole and Ronald.
I was 22, a young wife and mother and DV victim at the time and was HEARTBROKEN with this verdict
"Without a Doubt" By Marcia Clark was my FAVORITE book of the year when it came out. She is brilliant, insightful, and I was rooting for her the whole time! When she described Nicole Brown' and her family, my heart broke into a million pieces; it really grounds the reality of the evil of OJ Simpson and how the media totally botched the narrative.

I am so surprised at how different Marcia really is to what I thought she was like,full of humour,stoic,and just so affable and sharp,have watch all these interview,clips,and she's an absolute delight will get her book for sure.
I think this is one of the few things we disagree with. O.J. Simpson is not guilty. Glen Rogers was the one who killed Nicole.
Toobin covered the trial and wrote a book saying that Ito asked him personally ‘How am I doing?’ (I’m paraphrasing). Can you imagine a judge asking a journalist that? He was clearly very concerned about his image and meanwhile Cochran and company took over the show.

I was glued to the TV watching the OJ trial. I loved Marcia and sent her a card thanking her for her tenacity. I taped a lot of the trial on my VCR. I should go back and watch because I’d like to see judge Ito in action again, since I’ve been more educated on how the courtroom works by watching many trials after that. The evidence was so strong against OJ and I was flabbergasted by the verdict. A couple of years after the trial I was going thru some photos I had and found one that had Kato in it! It was from 1986 when my friend celebrated her 25th birthday at the Bicycle Bombay restaurant in Burbank California. He was our waiter wearing and black and white striped shirt. Crazy.
The glove debacle really made me mad. I had a pair of leather gloves with cashmere lining and put a latex glove on to see how that would affect the fit. Of course it was really hard to get the glove to fit, as I suspected! Too much friction. Ugh.
Interesting to hear from Marcia. Lots to learn here. I wouldn't have paid attention had it not been Megyn's show. She is great with the long form interview. Glad I stuck around. Big surprise right? Only one of my favorite shows.

I saw the title and it got me thinking about another story: the time Marcia Clark had to leave court early to pick up her kids; she was going through a divorce and trying to manage her life, all the while putting up with comments about her hair, clothes, and other crazy things. I was astounded by the court's lack of sympathy for her situation and the professionalism shown toward her. She was defending a murdered woman and man and having to deal with this nonsense.

Totally.
IMHO the case was lost in large part to the prosecution trying to paint an extremely specific chain of events. When inconsistencies arose it allowed the defense to pull at that thread and unravel the trust in the entire case being presented by the prosecution. Add to that the obvious chain of custody issues surrounding the vial of blood taken from OJ. The volume drawn wasn't documented and it was inexplicably allowed to remain in the wild four several hours before finally being entered into the lockup as evidence. Again giving the jurors a reason to doubt the validity of all blood evidence. State may have won the case if they were facing lesser council, but the "dream team" put up a seriously compelling defense. To this day we all know the phrase "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit".

Does DNA in a hot car magically turn DNA into the victims and Simpson's DNA. Most of the discrediting of forensic evidence was like this, yes procedural errors, but not significant to the results. What was far more damaging was the allegations of police planting evidence. The defense made these allegations based on emotion and speculation, not proof. If there was proof OJ could have sued the police for violation his rights.
Clark was the wrong lawyer for this case. She paid too much attention to what the media said about her. That's why she changed her hair style in the middle of the case because of the media attention, then later the media published topless photos of her. That's what happens when you give the media attention, you shift the attention from the defendant to yourself. That behavior is NOT what anyone would want from a laywer. Not to mention her affair with Christopher Darden, also in the middle of the case, which she never denied. She should have been fired.
it was obvious that OJ was guilty and it was also obvious Marcia and Chris were amateurs compared to the defendants team-the jury had already made up its mind -racism goes both ways

While I agree with you about OJ's guilt, timothy, the real amateur in the room seemed to be Judge Ito. However, I said many times back in the day that OJ could have jumped up on the defense table and screamed his guilt for everyone to see, and that jury would have judged him not guilty anyway. Rodney King's ghost hung over that courtroom, and there was no getting over that.
Marcia was a great attorney but she found out the hard way that Johnnie Cochran was next level ...and not only that she had to deal with Shapiro, Bailey, Scheck, and many many more.....she didn't stand a chance
Oh gosh!!🤦🏻♂️ Furhman made about race. Not the defence. The dude who “found” the gloves, and walked around the crime scene, and befriended the guy who had the blood tube, expressed hatred to interracial couples (specifically white women with black men). Go figure!!!
A presge to the current fallen state of CA.

That contempt, btw, is why I simply roll my eyes in apathy when Megyn clutches her pearls and gets the vapors about the lack of proper decorum or respect for the legal system. I mean, I have nothing but respect for Megyn, but it always amazes me how serious lawyers and their ilk treat the system, and why they seem confused by Americans' collective hatred for their profession.
