Even the majority of blacks think OJ's guilty now. The reason the prosecution lost the case quite frankly was their own dislikeabilty. The defence was likeable and charismatic and, even though it was clear behind any doubt to me he was guilty, I found myself rooting for the defence. The prosecution on the other hand was EXTREMELY unlikeable. Marcia Clark got her hair done half way through the trial for no other reason than to improve her image to the jurors. Chris Darden? He made OJ look like the friendly black guy in the courtroom. Then you had Mark Fuhrman. Ridiculous to think he planted evidence, but his personality was so unlikeable it was easy for jurors to believe it was possible.
When the verdict was read I was shocked but not surprised. If you look at the look on Robert Kardashian's face when the verdict was read, he also seemed incredulous. It looks like he was literally thinking, "this guy just got away with murder".
