The only justice the victims and their family got was that idiotic hotel robbery for some of his junk. Imagine escaping a high profile murder conviction, only to do something as stupid as that.
That murder case blew my mind as a kid. I was in grade 4 and remember the talk of school that day was the verdict. When it came down as not guilty the kids were dancing around during recess celebrating his release, singing songs in his name. Just childish nonsense from grade 1- 6. The first exposure to "reality TV" for many of us.

Because of double jeopardy you can't be tried for the same crime twice. He could've said he did it on the courtroom steps after the verdict and nothing could be done. At least he did end up in prison for a while and became a national pariah.
