- Comments Off on O.J. Simpson 10 Year Later

Its already been ten years since O.J. Simpson’s acquittal from the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. A trial that divided the nation between blacks and whites. I guess if the glove doesn’t fit you must acquit.
Ten years after his trial, he is essentially an outcast to whites and also to blacks, to whom he is more of a symbol than he ever was a hero.
An ABC News-Washington Post poll at the time found that 70 percent of whites thought Simpson was guilty and 74 percent of blacks thought he was not guilty. Sixty-four percent of African Americans cited a “police conspiracy” to frame Simpson.
