Who doesn't like a good court drama? Everyone played their parts well. But I agree Gooding Jr was not right for the part -- too small, not very attractive, wrong vocal tonality. The producers obviously spent a lot more thought on the other characters. My complaint is that this series does the same thing the media has done since the trial ended: insinuating that the jury got it wrong and that the 'dream team' got him off because of grand-standing. That's just not true. They used what was right in front of them and it was hard data, not made up. Darden and Clark were out of their league but they didn't have a case. They made rookie mistakes rushing to prosecute without checking their evidence and witnesses. This would have never gone to trial if they had just made sure they had all their ducks in a row . And then they toyed with the jury trying to get all the blacks out when they realized they had no other way to win! The fact is even today there is no evidence that OJ committed these murders. He was talked into putting his name on a book that someone else wrote just for the money. It's a fake book describing a what-if scenario. No one believed it to the point that only the Goldman's had the audacity to publish it pretending that it was an actual confession. In an interview about the fake confession, OJ makes up various what-ifs, none of which coincide with the fake confession in the book. All these people that want OJ to so badly be guilty are just trying to cover up what Cochran uncovered. That's the big take-away from this trial. I believe the jury had more than reasonable doubt. There's something about powerful black men that American law enforcement and media want to take down. The one's they can't shoot of suffocate, they try to imprison. Let's not forget what was learned in this trial.
