O. J. Simpson clearly killed people . . . he murdered his wife," admitted CUNY professor Marc Lamont Hill, supporting Simpson's guilt. Hill justified the 1995 acquittal as a product of a racist legal system.
Multiple witnesses observed him leaving his home in dark clothes just before the murders were committed, returning shortly thereafter with no alibi. Evidence against Simpson included DNA, blood, and shoe prints at the crime scene.
Rather than focusing on overwhelming evidence against Simpson, some supported his freedom due to a police officer's prior use of a racial slur. Racial factors influenced Simpson's acquittal despite the evidence.
Racial politics played a significant role, with a predominantly black jury feeling the use of the "N-word" by a police officer created reasonable doubt, leading to Simpson's freedom over his victims' justice.
