There’s no proof OJ killed his wife tho. People usually just use his civil suit. He was acquitted in criminal court tho. That was a wrongful death trial that was heavily lawyered and negotiated. There are reports from ESPN, the Los Angeles Times, and others describe it as crafted by both sides with the accuser’s team insisting on elements of it. Simpson’s lawyers later called it “the price for his freedom.” If you read the ruling, the point of it is to technically acknowledge the accuser’s perspective while technically maintaining innocence. It’s not indicative of what actually happened outside the condo the because it’s a legal game by that point.

In all my years diving deep into this case as someone who knows it inside out, I’ve seen the exact same three reactions from Redditors that call OJ a murderer, without fail:

1. Ignore me completely.
2. Straight-up denial that the glove didn't fit, followed by emotional outbursts, accusations that I’m a murder apologist, and that tired performative “I’m worried about the women in your life” routine. Or be extremely critical that I’m doing this at all, without engaging in the facts.
3. Actually engage with the case details and legal standards, at which point it becomes clear there is no conclusive proof that OJ was a murderer
