Cacería implacable: O.J. Simpson

I enjoyed the way this was set up with commentary from many involved with the case at the time. Even Mark Fuhrman. I took away one star for including Carl Douglas. What an obnoxious tool...I don't know how the man sleeps at night. Ever want to punch someone through a screen? That's him.... Bill Thompson the lawyer/DNA guy was not much better.

They both seemed to revel in the fact that they got OJ out of a murder conviction. I don't know how anyone could feel good about that.

Really felt for Christopher Darden, what a likeable guy. You can see the pain he feels to this day over this case. Ultimately the documentary did what others didn't, put the focus on the actual victims. Not just Ron and Nicole, but the people whose lives this awful event caused so many others. The saddest part is how the LA police dept. Really ended up affecting this case because of the Rodney King beating. The OJ trial turned into a trial about race and it never should have been. Had it not been for that I think this would have all turned out differently. His lawyers should never have referred to as the Dream Team, they were awful humans that spun this thing in the wrong direction. So unfair to the families of Ron and Nicole.

I remember the verdict and I can honestly say I wasn't surprised at the time. The defense team successfully turned this into a case about race and a referendum on the LA police department. The prosecution had all the evidence necessary, but were totally outclassed. Their bungling, and those of the detectives, made for an easy acquittal.

This documentary puts all of this on display, complete with interviews from many key players. I highly recommend it to those to young to remember as well as those who saw it happening.

In the end, the presentation reminds us of what really happened. All the impressive legal wranglings, race divisions, drama, and emotions aside - OJ killed Ron and Nicole.

Everyone knows the truth - even Carl Douglas.

This case is like a monster that just won't die. Even after Simpson's death in 2024, we have another production, in documentary form, of the events that took place back in 1994-95.

This documentary stands out, though. We get to hear from the actual people who were directly involved with the entire event. Most of the key players who are still alive today are interviewed and their candor is compelling.

Anyone who's familiar with this case (which I imagine is everyone over the age of 40). For those born in the 90's, check out this documentary and you'll get perspective straight from most of the key players who were involved.

I've watched just about everything ever produced about the OJ Simpson murder trial but this one put the final touches on everything. I recommend it because it's well produced, and raw. No narration, just the voices of those who lived it. And I actually got some new information that I was unaware of. I found myself shaking my head often. It was good enough for me to binge watch the entire series in one sitting. If you have any interest in this subject, watch it. It's a great study of an American tragedy, and a fall from grace.

The Ezra Edelman series from 2016 was so good I couldn't help but compare the new Netflix series to that. I remember the day the verdict was read I was in Paris, CA at a Walmart watching the verdict being read and the shouts of joy from the people around me. It's hard to believe anyone actually believed he was not guilty at the time. Payback for Rodney King? Perhaps...

This series is very well produced and informative and there were a few things I had not heard before. I wish Marcia Clark was involved with this series besides file tape but I can understand not wanting to go through the story yet again.

It's a story we've all heard a million times by now, so it's nothing particularly groundbreaking. It was interesting to hear from some of the witnesses who never testified. As bad as human memory and eyewitness testimony is, it's still considered good evidence, and may have actually done something impactful in this case. The one thing this documentary did manage to do that I was impressed with was to find the only person in America who seems to still honestly believe OJ was innocent. I get that he has a business and he can't go around saying his former clients were guilty, but come on man. Of course OJ did it.
