Few Americans will forget what was called the “trial of the century” when OJ Simpson was acquitted of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her acquaintance Ron Goldman. It split the country along racial lines but race was only a small part of what was a very complex and not so complimentary expose’ on celebrity lifestyles where people with star power have enough money to act on their fantasies with sometimes tragic outcomes.
OJ Simpson was among a percentage of successful black men who consider themselves post racial and view a Caucasian trophy wife as the ultimate treasure. Though OJ and Nicole had two children they were tangled in an abusive lifestyle with the typical philandering one-upmanship that goes on so much in modern society and particularly in celebrity circles.
Nicole was like a lot of middle aged women who wake up one day and see new wrinkles on their face. As well as being abused she had developed the proverbial seven-year-itch and began having sport sex with other men to recapture her youth. This enraged OJ who saw his trophy in the possession of strangers and though he and Nicole were legally divorced it eventually pushed his obsessive, sociopathic personality over the edge.
The only real victim in this tragedy was Ron Goldman. He was just a handsome young man who was lured by a cougar and ended up being murdered by a jealous ex-husband.
The trial itself was a joke and the butt of the joke was the American legal system. The moneyed defense team was able to move the venue to a place where a jury could be hand-picked to reflect something cognitively comparable to the front row of a professional wrestling match.
The ineptitude of the prosecution was the laughing stock of modern law as they tried to shovel the complexities of DNA onto a jury that could barely understand the rudiments of ABC. By the end of the first week the jury was so thoroughly confused that they sat through the rest of the proceedings, nearly a year, functionally unconscious and then deliberated for less than four hours.
Johnny Cochran stole the show as he made fools of the buffoons who prosecuted the case and gave OJ the glove that if it didn’t fight you must acquit. OJ looked positively giddy as he was granted parole on his armed robbery charges. He’s not the first celebrity to get away with murder by buying his way out. The first trial had nothing to do with racism and the second was a poor attempt to rescue the image of American law.
