Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence

As a piece of entertainment it is well done. However, like the book it is based on, it is so misleading that it dangerous.

The production quality of this series is very good. Unfortunately nothing else about it is.

6 episodes and they finally work out what took the police back in 1994 seconds to see. Of course if they had worked out that their smoking gun evidence was total BS at the start then they wouldn't have a show.

Watching this show I felt sorry for the family of all involved, including the production crew. This show must have put a few lawyer's kids through university based on the Slander it portrays as evidence. There is the occasional disclaimer but even that is spoken in a token way.

If you want to see 6 hours of what many would describe as "Cyber Bullying" if done online, then watch the whole show, but all the info is presented in the last episode. If your still interested watch that first and judge if the show is worth it for you.

Given enough time and effort anyone could be linked to many different crimes or events. Especially if you only show evidence that supports your theory.

There is no way I believe OJ is innocent but it's interesting to have on for background TV I guess. I just cannot stop staring at how bad the makeup is on these guys. In one scene when they are looking at a duplicate Bronco in a underground parking garage they look green as if an ill person. I dunno it may sound funny but what has my attention so much in watching this is me not getting over how bad the makeup artist is here in the touch ups. It bothered me enough that I actually had to look this up to leave a comment. I have always been interested in watching OJ documentaries this case is one I remember so vividly as a 8 year old when it happened. This documentary has my least amount attention though, it also appears super scripted so my interest was easily getting lost when this is a topic I'm normally glued to.

This "docuseries" was clearly a desperate attempt for Bill Dear to get the smear campaign against Jason Simpson of the ground, which he's been attempting to market since 2001. There is no evidence uncovered in this show that wasn't revealed in the Trial or "O.J.: Made in America". Every single piece of evidence that "proves" Jason was involved can be easily explained. The only thing this documentary showed was that O.J. was just as terrible of a father to his children as he was a husband to his wives. It's frankly irresponsible and cruel to be accusing Jason of these atrocious crimes with nothing to back it up except for the word of one attention seeking old hack.

Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence (2017)

You can check out the individual episodes to hear my thoughts on each of the six but this here is just an overview. This six-part television special has Martin Sheen narrating as an investigator presents new evidence that he claims proves that O.J. Simpson was not guilty of the murders and he points the finger at his oldest son. From here a couple detectives join the case and comb through the evidence to see if they can prove that there was someone else who did the murders.

Again, you can read my thoughts on each episode but I must asy that for the most part I enjoyed this special even though it ends with a major dud and in my opinion the sixth episode is the least entertaining. The highlight of the entire series is the fact that we get some new interviews with many of the key players in the trial including Fred Goldman, Tanya Brown, Detective Tom Lange, Henry Lee, Allan Park, Andrea Scott, Ron Shipp and Kato Kaelin.

The episodes present some rather interesting bits of evidence and the series does a very good job at pulling you along just like an old-fashion cliffhanger. They build up your interests, present the story and then they usually leave you with more questions. Throughout the series I was interested in what was going on but it seems every piece of evidence would then lead me to ask several other questions. The Simpson book "If I Did It" is called into play and we're asked to believe the book just in case Simpson told the truth in it.

I'm a Simpson buff and will watch any film or documentary that deals with him. I found the first five episodes to be highlight entertaining and thanks in large part to the new interviews. There's some interesting ideas brought up here but I think most of it gets flushed down the toiled during the final ten-minutes of the last episode. I don't know, I just feel like the producers of this were playing a joke the entire time as it really just doesn't end very well.

Still, if you're enjoy stuff dealing with the case then it's worth watching.
