This happened through mid-nineties, when only one or so such prominent events occurred per year, unlike now, as you say, there are numerous noisy news events weekly.
It was relevant then because it spawned serious social divisions, on racial lines, on gender lines, on domestic violence lines, and even sports loyalty lines.
Even with his known history of domestic violence, many people were "rooting for him", out of bizarre loyalties.
I am curious if anyone familiar with the case had a change of heart since the original criminal verdict, the civil suit verdict, and OJ's behaviour/"hypothetical confessions"?
