This was the best documentary I ever saw. Maybe it's the magnitude of the story that takes it over the top, but its great storytelling really makes it one cohesive picture. Before this documentary I didn't think much of the case or OJ, I simply thought "star, crazy car chase, acquitted of murder, made fun of on Seinfeld and other shows, he's in jail now because he got away with it, ight b." But the context this documentary gives and how it relates to the case is something I didn't think about looking back on it.
Things that stood out to me:
- I didn't know how much of a c00n OJ was, and I never used the word "c00n" in a serious manner until I saw how OJ acted. "******s in Brentwood"
- Gil Garcetti's priceless expression watching the chase. "He's pulling into his house oh shyt"
- All the 911 calls of Nicole calling because she was about to get/getting her ass whooped.
- If that story that ron shipp told on how OJ cut his finger was true, that alone is enough for me to think OJ killed Nicole, and then combine with the "ugly ass shoes" he wouldn't wear.
- I learned of the prank phone call during the driveway stop. Considering the situation this is probably the greatest prank call ever. I know it isn't relevant to the story but it would've been nice to have seen it in here.
The trial itself was fukkery if for nothing else the glove fiasco. The fact that they let this kind of ridiculous exhibition enter their minds as a legitimate argument is tomfoolery. Even if the man can fit the glove, would he not purposefully try to make it look like he had trouble putting it on? Then fuhrman...I understand he said racist shyt. This does not mean he planted the glove. What made him completely fukk the case over was lying about said racist remarks AND THEN pleading the fifth on questions later on. At the very least he could've answer the question "did you plant the glove?" and continue to proceed pleading the fifth if he truly did not plant the glove. These things combined with the complete dismantling of people testifying was enough doubt of guilt. I still think the nikka did it, but their argument did not show that.
But the thing I got out of this documentary was this right here is what getting caught in your own way can get you. Being entrapped in the mentality that "the world belongs to you" and having both the charisma and slick-talking can literally have you get away with murder.
Don't forget they make Darden WAY MORE irrelevant & incompetent than he was in the FX show.
