OJ simpson case

I know that we studied the OJ Simpson case a while ago, but I wanted to share my opinion on it. I believe that in the criminal trial, the outcome was correct. I definitely believe OJ committed these murders, but there was so much doubt that he couldnt be convicted. There was so much evidence that he committed the crime, yet the prosecutors either poorly explained it to the jury, or didnt even bring it up at all. The fact that they let oj put the gloves on himself was a huge mistake. I completely understand the outcome of the criminal trial because there was a lot of reasonable doubt, including a lying policeman, not fitting gloves, and suspicious lab work. I believe, however, that the civil trial brought justice to the crimes. The prosecutors did a better job, the judge was much more strict, and the jury was not biased. Although he couldnt be put in jail, he could be stripped of almost everything he owned. I think that if he couldnt be put in jail for life, that this was the second best punishment.
