O.J. Simpson Dead at 76 After Cancer Battle

I had a class once where a reporter came in to discuss various things he had covered, including the OJ trial. He said the consensus among the reporters was, OJ did it, but the LAPD and prosecution botched the case so badly it got him off.

I liked his performance in the Naked Gun

Many white people proved that before him. I thought what was special about this case is that a black man killed a white woman and bought his way out of it. With how racist the US justice system is, that had to have been super unexpected. I'm glad he's rotting though.

My American relatives still complain about the black jury letting him off beside of their “collective victim complex”

Out of the blue, I remember getting obsessed with the case decades after it was relevant. From what I remember:

1. That whole "he only got away because of a Black jury" is bullshit because the jury had more women than Black people. It was 9 Black people vs 3 Black people but 10 women vs 2 men. The media pushed it for obvious racist reasons.

2. "The Black jury didn't understand DNA testing because they were Black and uneducated and Black and stoopid and Black" was also bullshit. His lawyers argued that because the LAPD was (and still is) full of anti-Black white supremacist pigs, they purposely plant evidence so a rich Black man would know his place as a Black man. They played recordings of that purjuring pig detective ranting about how seeing miscegenation filled him with homicidal rage and how the LAPD would regularly plant evidence. It was a very convincing defense.

3. The prosecution was also completely incompetent. OJ putting on the gloves that don't fit was the prosecution's idea, not the defense, so you could pretty much throw all the "his gloves didn't fit because he took medication that swelled up his hands" out as well unless you're saying the defense was playing 5-d chess and purposely got OJ to take the wrist-swelling medicine knowing they would get him to try on the gloves.

4. Johnnie Cochran was worth his weight in gold and then some. The prosecution never stood a fucking change.

What?

Was he jabbed????

On NBC they were doing picture-in-picture so you could also watch basketball at the same time

For those with prostates:

High ejaculation frequency was linked to a decreased risk. Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer.

Also useful for kidney stones

Our meta-analysis demonstrated that male sexual activity as an alternative therapy for distal ureteric stones had comparable outcomes to the use of alpha-blocker, proving a viable alternative therapy in those patients wishing to avoid pharmacological management.
