What also got him off in his first trial was moving the trial downtown to make it more convenient for the prosecution. Had that trial been held in West LA, where OJ lived, that jury of his peers would NOT have reached the same verdict. The criminal verdict had nothing to do with evidence and everything to do with minorities sensing an opportunity where they felt like they could bring vindication for all the misdeeds of the LAPD.
At any rate, justice should finally be served, even if it took 13 years to get it. OJ is going where he belongs.
