10 years since OJ killed Nicole
Bill Simmons at ESPN.com has an interesting look back at the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman on June 12, 1994 and the trial that followed. I remember a lot about the trial; however, I forgot just how much DNA and other physical evidence there was against OJ.
Here is a quote from the column that sums up my problem with the defense's claim that OJ was framed:
"On the one hand, the defense argued the LAPD was completely incompetent, so you couldn't possibly trust the DNA evidence. On the other hand, they played the race card, arguing the LAPD was calculating enough to arrive at a crime scene and, within about 10 minutes of digesting what had happened, hatch a convoluted plan to frame Simpson because he was African-American ... even though they didn't have any idea if he had an alibi or was even in the country at the time."
