Nope. My #4 & #5 don't contradict each other:

4) If OJ didn't commit these heinous crimes, how did his blood/DNA end up at the murder scene?! And, how did the blood/DNA/hair of Nicole & Ron end up all over his car, his house, etc.?! Going along with this, IIRC he had cut(s) on his hands when he was caught. His guilt seems straightforward to me.

My point in #4 was that there was so much physical evidence he should have been found guilty.

5) Re: the outcome of the trial: it's interesting that back in '95, based on the jurors' decision - most of the jurors in the trial obviously didn't believe OJ was guilty....nor did all of the people who cheered when the innocent verdict was reached. However, these days, if you talk to most people they'll say they believe OJ was guilty....

My point in #5 was that back in the '90's when the trial took place, obviously the jurors at the time chose to ignore the plethora of physical evidence & vote towards an innocent verdict. Why?! Possibly because they genuinely believed that he was framed. Ditto re: all of those who cheered when he was found innocent.

Also following up with what I said in #5, despite the fact that many cheered when he was found innocent - it's interesting that these days most of the people you talk to believe he was guilty.
