How sad is it that I knew this was about OJ before opening the thread? |

Why Fox decided to air the special? It's been 24 years. What happen to change their mind? Some things should be let go.

True, though I was thinking of the victims. If I were a victim I'd want it to stop being newsworthy. The Brown and Goldman families feel differently. I won't attempt to place myself in their places and offer reasons. My injection is from the outside looking in, a bystander. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I can totally see where they are coming from. This isn't just "keeping it in the news" . . . This is essentially a public confession, and without a conviction, this is as close to closure as they will get.

As I stated, I won't attempt to offer reasons why they're willing to go along with the airing 24 years later. To say I know why would be foolish. What I offered were my feelings as to why I wouldn't want the case to be dredged up again.
OJ being acquitted left few paths for conclusion other than his death.
I'm going to watch the special with unbiased eyes. I will look and listen for a veiled confession. I don't believe there will be anything concrete to say he confesses. Let's see. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

If OJ is paid the money is supposed to go the Goldman's. OJ's lawyers are finding ways to get around that. I don't think he needs money. If I'm not mistaken he gets $25,000 a month from his pension. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Remember the ESPN OJ documentary, then the FX ones?
As an attorney, just brought up so many conflicting emotions. I believe he committed the murder.
But then I marvel at Cochran's mastery of the courtroom.
I think Darden, in FX's depiction said it best when he responded to Cochran at the end of the trial telling him that the OJ case advanced the cause for African Americans across the country.

I'm assuming People vs OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, telling of Cochran going to Simpson's Brentwood mansion and changing the pictures on the walls and redecorating was true. If so, yes, he distanced himself from people outside of Brentwood. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
