There's no doubt that the defense attorneys have easier jobs, they just have to prove reasonable doubt, the prosecutor pretty well either has to nail the person to the crime, or get a iron clad confession.
In this case the belief is that she did the murder based on her behaviors (partying etc).
And while there was some physical evidence, I don't think that the prosecutors case was strong enough to breach reasonable doubt.
And since there is no double jeapardy, we've probably seen another murderer go free(even though I'm convinced that OJ's son and not OJ did the killing)
