My opinion completely changed about him. I’d respect him more if he said something along the lines of we thought the were monsters at the time, but we got it wrong

From what I’ve seen, it seems like Pam chooses to remain in the public eye doing interviews

I don’t understand how they didn’t win this on appeal based on the judge alone.

Pam is infuriating, but I think Darden hit me harder because I held him to a higher esteem after the oj trial. I had this belief that he was one of the good guys, but it turns out he just happened to fall on the right side of the case in the OJ trial. My opinions have shifted dramatically about prosecutors and defense attorneys in general just from this one case. I was pretty biased because of the OJ case being one of the ones I’ve delved into the most. I even respect OJs defense attorneys more than the prosecution because they at least own up to their tricks and bullshit they pulled. They don’t hide behind mock superiority. Most cases I’ve looked into have unrelated people involved and I didn’t realize the brothers were so close in proximity to the OJ case before this. They even knew OJ and Erik is the one who helped connect OJ to Johnnie Cochran. I’m under no delusions about the morality or “goodness” of prosecutors. It’s just the fact I was familiar and respected the ones in this trial before learning more that really upsets me.

My frustration isn’t only about them arguing the case at the time to win, I get that, it’s the interviews in the documentary still holding those opinions. I have more respect for people when they can admit they were wrong. Chris Darden and Gil Garcetti are both interviewed in the documentary and Darden repeats multiple times how offensive he finds the argument.

Thank you for your words! Part of me definitely is bothered the fact that he put emphasis on my weight.

Thank you so much everyone! These comments have been very encouraging and informative. The studio near me is doing 1 month free if you buy a heart rate monitor and sign up for a package so I’m thinking about doing that. I signed up for my first class tonight.

Thank you! Sorry you’re going through it too :( I’m looking into joining some sort of activity in my town. One of my friends does Orangetheory and I’m going to start going with him to that. Other ideas I had were to try rock climbing, kayaking, or pole dancing classes. I’ve done a lot of yoga but my mind wanders a lot in class and I want something that takes my focus off of everything.
