Review on OJ Simpson Case

Known as the most infamous case possibly of the century, the OJ Simpson case is plagued with controversy. In my opinion OJ was guilty due to the many pieces of evidences against him and his unusual reaction and actions taken after the murder of Nicole and Ron. The DNA evidence in itself was enough to convict OJ, furthermore the same DNA was found in his car and at the scene of the crime. Also, when reviewing the defense and its claims that the evidence was planted, it is clear that the police could have not planned to falsely charge OJ for the murder of his ex wife and Ron Goldman. Because of this it is remarkable how the defense team was able to defend a seemingly "impossible" case by switching the topic, in this case the way the police handled the evidence, which helped create enough doubt in the jury. I think that because of this, the most important lesson we can learn from the OJ Simpson case is the need for a strong prosecution/defense because otherwise a clear case becomes a matter of rolling a die in which one has to hope the jury correctly interprets both sides of a case. This becomes even more important when one realizes the impact of such a result for a case, not only for someone like OJ or the parents of Ron Goldman, but how it can impact the entire country due to the high amount of publicity.
