8 Days of O.J. - "A GLOVE, A DOG, AND KATO KAELIN: The Evidence That Should Have Convicted O.J. Simpson" - Day 2
Reid Carter examines February 1995 - the month that presented overwhelming evidence against O.J. Simpson that somehow didn't matter. Blood evidence creating a trail from Bundy to Bronco to Rockingham. The $55 Aris Isotoner gloves that would doom the prosecution. Kato Kaelin becomes the world's most famous houseguest while refusing to say what he really heard. Nicole's Akita with bloody paws that should have sealed the case. Rosa Lopez emerges as the defense's lying witness who fled to El Salvador. Denise Brown's devastating testimony about abuse gets overshadowed by legal theater. February proved O.J.'s guilt beyond doubt - and proved that evidence doesn't matter when you've got the right jury and better lawyers.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.359
Caalirogashark Media. This is read Carter, Saturday, September twenty seventh,
2
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.960
twenty twenty five, Day two of eight days of OJ.
3
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.239
We're examining February nineteen ninety five, the month that should
4
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.160
have ended this trial with a guilty verdict, the month
5
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:30.600
the prosecution presented evidence so overwhelming, so damning, so absolutely conclusive,
6
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.000
that any reasonable jury would have convicted OJ Simpson in
7
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.960
an afternoon. Instead, February nineteen ninety five became the month
8
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.960
we learned that evidence doesn't matter if you don't know
9
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.640
how to present it, That physical proof becomes meaningless if
10
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.560
the jury doesn't trust who collected it. That DNA trails
11
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.280
and blood patterns and witness testimony can all be explained
12
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.560
away if you've got the right story and the right scapegoats.
13
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.600
February was the month of the Bloody Glove, The month
14
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.840
cato'kalan became famous for being useless. The month Nicole's dog
15
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.439
tried to tell us who killed her. The month Rosa
16
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.879
Lopez proved that money can buy any testimony you need.
17
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.280
Most importantly, February was the month we should have realized
18
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.599
that this trial wasn't about evidence anymore. It was about performance,
19
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.480
and while the prosecution was trying to present facts, the
20
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.959
defense was putting on the greatest legal magic show in
21
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.280
American history. I'm read Carter, this is day two of
22
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:37.319
eight days of OJ. Welcome to the month that proved
23
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.319
OJ Simpson was guilty and proved that guilt doesn't matter
24
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:45.680
in celebrity justice. February nineteen ninety five. Twenty eight days
25
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.680
that should have sent OJ Simpson to death row. Twenty
26
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.719
eight days of evidence so clear, so undeniable, so scientifically
27
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.239
certain that denying it required abandoning logic itself. But here's
28
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.079
what I think happened in February. And I've studied this
29
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.400
case for years, so I'm confident about this. The prosecution
30
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:07.400
made their second fatal mistake. Their first mistake was letting
31
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.960
Cochrane pick the jury in January. Their second mistake was
32
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.960
thinking that evidence speaks for itself. Evidence doesn't speak. Lawyers speak,
33
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.240
And the prosecution spent February reciting facts, while the defense
34
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.319
spent February telling stories. Guess which approach worked better with
35
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.919
a jury that had already decided the LAPD couldn't be trusted.
36
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.520
Let me walk you through the trail of blood that
37
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.800
should have convinced anyone with a functioning brain that OJ
38
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.319
Simpson was a killer. February third, nineteen ninety five, the
39
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.599
prosecution begins presenting the blood evidence, and Folks, this wasn't
40
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:47.080
trace amounts, this wasn't microscopic samples. This was a highway
41
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.840
of blood leading from the murder scene directly to OJ
42
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.319
Simpson's bedroom. Dennis Fung, the LAPD criminalist, took the stand
43
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.560
to explain what they found at Bundy Drive. Nicole Brown
44
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.439
Simpson's blood, Ronald Goldman's blood, and most importantly, OJ Simpson's blood,
45
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.800
all at the same crime scene, all fresh, all deposited
46
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.000
the night of June twelfth, nineteen ninety four. But here's
47
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.360
where it gets damning. The blood trail doesn't end at Bundy.
48
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:21.120
It continues to OJ's white broncho, parked a block away.
49
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.280
OJ's blood on the driver's door handle, on the interior console,
50
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.439
on the steering wheel, Niicole's blood on the carpet, Ron's
51
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.520
blood on the console. Then the trail continues to rocking
52
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.919
them OJ's estate. More blood drops leading from the broncho
53
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.400
up his driveway into his house. OJ's blood drops in
54
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.879
his foyer in his hallway leading directly to his bedroom,
55
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.479
and in that bedroom socks, dark socks with Nicole Brown
56
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.960
Simpson's blood on them. Not transfer blood, not secondary blood.
57
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.639
Nicole's blood soaked into socks that were sitting on oj
58
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.400
Simpson's bedroom floor. This isn't circumstantial evidence. This is a
59
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.919
GPS tracking system written in blood, leading from the murder
60
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.439
scene to the killer's bedroom. Any competent prosecutor should have
61
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.280
been able to convict Ojay with this evidence alone. But
62
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.280
Barry Sheck was about to earn his fee. Shek took
63
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.720
Dennis Fung apart, piece by piece, not on the substance
64
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.079
of the evidence, but on the collection procedures, the chain
65
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.040
of custody, the storage protocols, the laboratory standards. Shek wasn't
66
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.879
disputing that the blood was there. He was planting the
67
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.600
idea that it got there through contamination, mishandling, or deliberate planting.
68
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.600
And watching this testimony thirty years later, I can see
69
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.040
exactly what Sheck was doing. He was making the jury
70
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.240
more concerned about how evidence was collected than what the
71
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:48.759
evidence proved. But the blood evidence was just the opening Act.
72
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.199
February ninth brought us the gloves, the fifty five dollars
73
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.920
rus Isotoner gloves that would eventually destroy the prosecution, but
74
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.519
started as their strongest weapon. One glove was found at
75
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.839
the Bundye crime scene, soaked in blood from both victims.
76
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.680
The other was found behind Ojy's house at Rockingham, also
77
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:14.879
blood soaked, same manufacturer, same size, extra large, same rare
78
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.079
style that Nicole had purchased for OJ as a Christmas gift.
79
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.560
The prosecution had receipts. Literally, Nicole bought these exact gloves
80
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.519
at Bloomingdale's in December nineteen ninety. She bought two pairs,
81
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.279
one brown, one black. She gave them to OJ as
82
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.279
Christmas presents. The gloves found at the crime scenes matched exactly.
83
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.160
But here's what the prosecution should have emphasized and didn't.
84
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.160
These weren't just any gloves. These were expensive, distinctive, custom
85
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.319
fit gloves that Nicole specifically chose for OJ's large hands.
86
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.720
The odds of someone else having identical gloves that happened
87
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.639
to be soaked in Nicole and Ron's blood and left
88
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:59.839
at both crime scenes astronomical. Instead, the prosecution got bogged
89
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.439
down in technical testimony about leather shrinkage and blood degradation.
90
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.560
They turned smoking gun evidence into a chemistry lecture. They
91
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.800
forgot that juries need to feel the weight of evidence,
92
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:17.600
not just hear about it. Meanwhile, February brought us kato'klan
93
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.439
and let me tell you something about Kato'kalean. This man
94
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.240
had the opportunity to be the hero of this case
95
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.360
and chose to be a coward instead. Kato'klin lived in
96
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.319
Ojy's guesthouse, rent free. He was there the night of
97
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:38.120
the murders. He heard strange noises, he saw oj acting suspiciously.
98
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.519
He knew things that could have convicted a killer and
99
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.639
saved Nicole and Ron's families years of pain. Instead, Kato'calein
100
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.800
turned his testimony into performance art. He played dumb, He
101
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.759
claimed memory problems. He acted like a stone surfer who
102
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.839
couldn't remember what he had for breakfast, let alone what
103
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:02.480
he heard the night two people were butchered. February thirteenth,
104
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.759
Kto takes the stand. The prosecution asks about the thumps
105
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.720
he heard against his wall around ten forty five pm.
106
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.519
Three loud thumps that shook his room, Thumps that came
107
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.879
from the direction of the pathway where the bloody glove
108
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.279
was found. What does Kato say He heard thumps but
109
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.480
didn't think they were important. He was watching TV, he
110
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.480
was distracted. He didn't investigate because he was tired. Tired.
111
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.800
Three loud thumps shake your wall an hour after your
112
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.759
landlord's ex wife was murdered, and you're too tired to
113
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:37.439
look outside. That's not tired, that's willful ignorance. And here's
114
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.600
what I think really happened with Katoklin. I think he
115
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.199
knew exactly what those thumps were. I think he suspected
116
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.279
what Oj had done. But Kato was living rent free
117
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.040
in a mansion, hanging out with celebrities, enjoying a lifestyle
118
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.879
he could never afford on his own. He wasn't going
119
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.000
to bite the hand that fed him, even if that
120
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.879
hand was covered in blood. The prosecution should have destroyed
121
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.439
Cato on cross examination, should have forced him to admit
122
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.120
that he was protecting his meal ticket, should have made
123
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.079
the jury see that Cato was choosing comfort over conscience. Instead,
124
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.000
they treated him like a friendly witness and let Cochrane
125
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.959
turn him into comic relief. Cochrane made Cato seem harmless
126
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:22.160
and confused, rather than complicit and cowardly, another prosecution opportunity wasted.
127
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.920
But February's most heartbreaking testimony came from an unexpected witness,
128
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:32.440
Niicole's dog. Pablo Fenves, Nicole's neighbor, testified about hearing an
129
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:36.320
akida barking plaintively around ten fifteen pm on June twelfth.
130
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:42.000
Not aggressive barking, not territorial barking, mournful, continuous wailing that
131
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.840
went on for hours. The dog was found later that
132
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.519
night by other neighbors wandering the alley behind Nichole's condo.
133
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.480
The dog's paws were covered in blood. The dog was agitated,
134
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:57.159
trying to lead people back toward Nichole's gate. The dog
135
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:00.159
knew something terrible had happened and was trying to get help.
136
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.519
Animals don't lie, Animals don't have ulterior motives. That dog
137
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.759
was trying to tell anyone who would listen that its
138
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.000
owner was dead. That dog provided a timeline and a
139
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.360
witness account more reliable than anything kato'clin offered, But the
140
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:19.840
prosecution barely emphasized this testimony. They mentioned the dog in
141
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:23.159
passing like it was a minor detail instead of powerful
142
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:27.600
evidence about timing and the scene itself. Meanwhile, the defense
143
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.840
was busy creating their own witnesses. Enter Rosa Lopez, the
144
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.360
housekeeper who claimed she saw OJ's Bronco at Rockingham during
145
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.399
the time of the murders. Rosa Lopez, who would become
146
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.279
the defense's first major witness and their first major embarrassment.
147
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.960
We'll be right back with Rosa Lopez's lies, Denise Brown's
148
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.879
devastating testimony about OJ's abuse, and how February proved that
149
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.159
evidence doesn't matter if you don't know how to tell
150
00:09:54.200 --> 00:10:07.759
its story. Welcome back to day two of eight Days
151
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.919
of OJ. I'm Red Carter and we're examining how February
152
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:16.039
nineteen ninety five presented overwhelming evidence of OJ Simpson's guilt
153
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.440
that somehow didn't matter. Rosa Lopez. Let me tell you
154
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.080
about Rosa Lopez, because she represents everything that was wrong
155
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.480
with this trial. Rosa Lopez was a housekeeper who worked
156
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.279
for Ojay's neighbors. She claimed she saw OJ's white Bronco
157
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.879
parked at Rockingham at ten fifteen pm on June twelfth,
158
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.440
exactly when the prosecution said he was at Bundy murdering
159
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.080
Nicole and Ron. If true, this would have given OJ
160
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:47.440
and alibi. If true, this would have destroyed the prosecution's timeline.
161
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.919
If true, this would have been the most important testimony
162
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.200
in the trial. But it wasn't true. And here's how
163
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.919
we know it wasn't true. Rosa Lopez's story changed every
164
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.559
time she told it. First she saw bronco, Then she
165
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.919
wasn't sure it was the bronco, then she was sure again.
166
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.320
First she saw it at ten fifteen, then it was ten,
167
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.360
then it was ten thirty. Her story had more versions
168
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:17.519
than a Hollywood script. More importantly, Rosa Lopez had lied
169
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:21.399
to investigators multiple times. She initially told police she didn't
170
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:25.639
see anything unusual that night, no bronco, no OJ. Nothing.
171
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.919
Only after the defense found her and offered to help
172
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:32.919
with her immigration status, did she suddenly remember seeing the bronco.
173
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.919
And then this is the best part. Rosa Lopez fled
174
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.399
to El Salvador before she could be cross examined by
175
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.240
the prosecution. Fled the country rather than face questions about
176
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.600
her convenient memory and her changing story. Think about that
177
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.720
the defense's star alibi witness ran away rather than be
178
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.320
questioned under oath. That tells you everything you need to
179
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.000
know about the quality of OJ's defense. They were willing
180
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.279
to put up witnesses they knew were lying, and when
181
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.600
those witnesses got scared of perjury charges, they helped them
182
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.679
flee the country. But the prosecution let this slide. They
183
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.879
should have made Rosa Lopez's flight the centerpiece of their case.
184
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.759
Should have argued that innocent people don't need lying witnesses,
185
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.279
should have pointed out that OJ's defense was so weak
186
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:21.960
they had to import perjury from Central America. Instead, they
187
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.159
moved on to the next witness, like Rosa Lopez's lies
188
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:28.360
didn't matter, like suborning perjury was just another day at
189
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.039
the office. Meanwhile, February brought us testimony that should have
190
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.240
broken every heart in that courtroom. Denise Brown, Nicole's sister,
191
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.840
took the stand to describe Ojay's abuse of her sister.
192
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:46.039
February fifteenth, Denise Brown testifies about a restaurant incident in
193
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.799
nineteen eighty seven. Nicole and oj are at a restaurant
194
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:54.320
with friends. Oj gets angry about something trivial. He starts
195
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.320
screaming at Nicole in front of everyone. He grabs her
196
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.720
by the hair. He throws her out of the restaurant
197
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:04.240
like she garbage. Denise describes Nicole coming home with bruises,
198
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:09.320
with black eyes, with excuses for why she fell downstairs
199
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:14.200
or walked into doors. Classic domestic violence patterns that should
200
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:16.879
have made the jury understand what kind of man O J.
201
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.559
Simpson really was. But the defense objected to most of
202
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.919
this testimony too prejudicial, they claimed, not relevant to the
203
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.879
murder charges. Judge Ido sustained most of their objections, keeping
204
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:33.159
the jury from hearing the full scope of OJ's violence
205
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.960
toward Nicole. And here's what infuriates me about this decision.
206
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.120
How is a pattern of domestic violence not relevant to
207
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:45.240
a domestic murder case? How is Ojy's history of controlling, abusing,
208
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:49.240
and terrorizing Nicole not directly connected to him killing her
209
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:53.480
when she finally tried to leave permanently. The prosecution should
210
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.799
have fought harder for this evidence, should have made domestic
211
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.519
violence the centerpiece of their motive argument, have shown the
212
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.960
jury that June twelfth wasn't OJ's first attack on Nicole,
213
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:07.720
it was his last. Instead, they let the defense minimize
214
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.759
the abuse testimony and focused on scientific evidence that the
215
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:14.440
jury didn't understand and didn't trust. But here's the most
216
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:18.200
damning evidence from February evidence that should have ended any
217
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:23.639
reasonable doubt about Ojy's guilt. The timeline the prosecution established
218
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:26.639
that Nicole and Ron were killed between ten fifteen and
219
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.960
ten forty pm on June twelfth. They proved Ojay had
220
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.679
no verifiable alibi during this time. They showed he was
221
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.320
supposed to be home packing for a trip to Chicago,
222
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.360
but couldn't account for his whereabouts during the murder window.
223
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.480
They proved Ojay left for the airport in a rush,
224
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.320
didn't answer his phone, acted agitated and suspicious. They showed
225
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.600
he had fresh cuts on his hands the next day
226
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.799
that he couldn't explain. They demonstrated he had motive, opportunity,
227
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.840
and the physical evidence linking him to the crime. This
228
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:02.240
wasn't circumstantial evidence. This was direct proof of guilt. Any
229
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.440
competent jury should have convicted based on the timeline alone.
230
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.879
But this jury wasn't interested in timelines. They were interested
231
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:14.399
in police misconduct. They were interested in racial conspiracy theories.
232
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.679
They were interested in everything except the fact that oj
233
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.720
Simpson had murdered two innocent people. And by February's end,
234
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:25.519
I think the prosecution realized they were in trouble. Not
235
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:30.080
because their evidence was weak. Their evidence was overwhelming, but
236
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.279
because their jury had been selected by the defense and
237
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.720
their judge was more interested in television ratings than controlling
238
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:45.360
his courtroom. February twenty eighth, nineteen ninety five twenty eight
