I have watched Kato over the years and his story hasn't changed, unlike so many witnesses. He is a good person, had his own business at the time and paid rent. He has been treated unfairly.
Why were people so mean to him I don’t understand?! Who cares if he paid to live there or not or had a job or not or could afford his own place or not?! Who cares?!
Tanya Brown admitted that the photograph of bruises, was makeup Nicole Brown Simpson was involved in a film by Laura Hart McKinney on domestic violence
Yes. If you watch his podcast with Tom Zenner called "Tom Zenner's One Degree" he explains that his hesitation on the stand was more him wanting to be precise to give the right answers and also he was nervous because of the cameras in the court room.
@@Romulan2469 There was a rumor going around that Kato and OJ actually went to a Burger King to score some meth and coke that night and Kato couldn't say that. It's the only thing that makes me wonder if Kato told the complete truth. He did try to do his best and I think he is a fairly "good" guy ..someone that got wrapped in a situation he wasn not prepared for.
@@bethvirginiaphillips4583 Rumors are just rumors. One cannot believe a rumor. It sounds like it was probably made up by a person who was angry with Kato for his conduct on the stand and perhaps protecting OJ. He has had a lot of haters over the years when he did his best in a circumstance completely outside of his choosing. He got caught up in the circus and got blamed for the not guilty verdict. Also people forget that Kato and OJ were not close, not even friends, just acquaintances as a result of OJ not wanting Kato to live with Nicole because he was a possessive narcissist. Kato has always lived a clean life, his heart is pure.
@@bethvirginiaphillips4583What kind of person believes an unconfirmed "rumor" with zero credible sources over a man's sworn testimony in court and 30 yrs of interviews that have never wavered? Then, to repeat it on a video comment leading people, who've never heard it, to circulate it again. Nice way to add to the ridiculousness of the "conspiracy theorists". Real people with real families were murdered here.
There could have been a video of OJ killing Nicole and Ron Goldman all the while OJ yelling he did it in the courtroom and that jury still would have said not guilty.
9 unidentified, fingerprints, were found at a contaminated crime scene Testimony,on criminal evidence by Dennis Fung, admits to several mistakes . The Rockingham estate was entered without a warrant ! Domestic violence isn't murder ! Ron Goldman, was murdered, without any attention to domestic violence ! It didn't matter ! Statements are only supported by physical evidence The photographs, of Nicole Brown Simpson, kept in a safety deposit box with an inadmissible diary. was blackmail ! Mesa Luna Restaurant was a drop-off point for cocaine distribution Ron Goldman, was a dealer that plea bargained to become an informant Nicole Brown Simpson was a cocaine addict, a golddigger, &:a con artist that kept the company of several men
And juror throws up black power after not guilty verdict. Although the defense had to redecorate OJs house with more african decorations 😂 . He said I’m not black I’m oj. Definitely shouldn’t have had that trial in LA. with jurors who had that mindset.
@@camasultanulw.h.y1629 The media pointed a finger with domestic abuse Nicole Brown Simpson was involved in a documentary on domestic violence Tanya Brown, admitted that the photograph was makeup When Nicole Brown spoke with the police, they found body scratches not bruises It happens when a victim is defending punches, against their abuser The media was playing this from the beginning

Here 2024 and within a month I have watched all episodes 3 times and it shows how US judicial system is utterly corrupt. If u r poor and can't afford competent attorney, u get in prison, regardless of whether you are guilty or innocent; if u r wealthy u can get Scot free; if u r from chosen tribe, u can get away with anything and everything.
Who else would’ve brutally murdered Nicole? Is this a joke? Who else was she involved deeply with. This was a violent act with a thousand life times of feelings involved. It wasn’t a random act of violence. “If I can’t have you, no one can.” I believe it was premeditated also, even if only by a day.
An isolated tape of the 911 call in 1991, has OJ Simpson arguing that there were two call girls, and a drug dealer at the Rockingham estate in 1989 The actual recording !! With Simpson expressing concerns for the environment of his children It's during the 911 conversation that the operator asks Nicole Brown Simpson in 1991 was it something that you did? Nicole Brown Simpson replied Yes a long time ago Even with an intention of only being married to support a lifestyle The $50.000 received each month would not support an enormous cocaine habit included with a vigorous debt. This is illegally withholding evidence Regardless of opinions surrounding only circumstantial evidence with illegal procedure at the Rockingham estate A picture perfect lifestyle was excessively overused to protect the lies that were told . Furthermore racial prejudice was entered into testimony to legally discredit the Los Angeles police department It was a precaution to avoid another race riot in los Angeles with intentional mistakes Without your knowledge or anyone else's, of the company that Nicole Brown Simpson kept There's no legal right to a guilty verdict that never swayed the jury
Well The whole premise of these murders, jealousy, Without any elimination of another suspect Jason Simpson , was only mentioned after the fact. Simpson, being placed in handcuffs only minutes after arriving before being questioned shows intent ! Without a specific , background on Nicole Brown Simpson or Ronald Goldman , there is no choosing a suspect out of hat

Oj didn’t want Paula Barbieri to go to the recital because he was obsessed with Nicole; and he did want to go to dinner with her and her family afterwards.
so it took 2 hours to say that he was on the phone, heard 3 bangs, grabbed his flashlight, walked to the driveway, saw the limo drive there, didn't really check the side path because he was scared , then walked back and let the limo driver in. There, 2 hours into 10 seconds.
OJ treated Nicole like property. That evening was the daughter's recital and the whole family went to dinner after...except for one person, and boy!!! He was MAD for being excluded. He ended up at a McDonald's drive thru, which added to his rage. Seeing Nicole in her mini skirt that night and being completely ignored, made OJ who was enraged more so He killed her and the degree if the wounds should've been enough to show it was only one person...especially that one rich person with the overpriced Italian loafers that left the bloody footprints. This so called dream team (Cochran) made it into a race war. Which didnt make sense because IJ did not and would not interact with the black community...OJ preferred white company and white women. And even with all thise facts, the black community STILL backed OJ. it never made sense to me then, and now.
@@therobertspot4840 it’s everywhere. In the Nicole movie and oh Simpson movie. I don’t think I’ve seen it in article but im sure this information came from people that night at the dinner and what they saw.
I agree & I watched this trial live every day but this portion is still the same to me now. Marcia Clark's repetitive questions were ridiculous. Kato says no lights on downstairs but lights on upstairs. Marcia asks 2x so the lights were on upstairs but not on downstairs? Did you get the knapsack on Ashford? No OJ did. So you didn't get the knapsack on Ashford? No OJ did. Ugh

@daviddavis3389 Do you even know why Ron was there?? Ron hardly knew her he was a waiter at the restaurant she had ate at that night she forgot her glasses there and asked if he would drop them off on the way home and for that he was brutally murdered. Who cares if OJ paided the bills they were divorced
@@chuckydall9250Ron knew her well enough to know where she lived. They were friends and went on several coffee and brunch dates together. As well as were workout partners. It's always been stated their relationship was platonic, and it's speculated Ron was gay either way.
When this case was going on in 1995 I was serving jury duty as well in NYC in a civil case, as soon as I got home I would turn it on to the trial of the century, Kato was the most honest person I have ever seen.
I believe Kato was being very truthful to what he remembered during that time, they were calling him names but he was smarter than they thought of him and he had a great sense of humor that broke the tension in the courtroom
Observation: They could have all this done in 15 minutes with time to spare. They repeat and repeat and repeat constantly. Do they consider the jury needing help to follow the basic information given as evidence, i.e. consider them rather stupid?
Kato Kaelin said he saw OJ right before and right after the time frame in which Nicole was murdered and that OJ didn’t look angry or upset at all. Later, Kaelin admitted that OJ probably looked angry while he was murdering her.
@@Nonameforyoudangit It was her witness too (I'm pretty sure), which made it that much more ridiculous. At some point he wasn't giving the exact answers she wanted and became what is referred to as a "hostile witness", so she began to grill him and eventually bury his credibility to the jury.
Kato was such a great witness though he was clearly nervous. He was solid on his testimony which never changed. At one point Clark turned him into a hostile witness and basically descredicted him in the eyes of the jury.
I just commented on how atrocious she was on direct. You can tell she went off script which further unnerved poor Kato. Darden gets a lot of the blame but IMO the blame rests 70% on the racist jury and 28% on Clarke.
@@ryanackley5242 says what source 🌚 I’m not disagreeing bc I just had this talk w my mom last night when I relistened to the 911 call and oj kept bringing up how her and her friends do drugs and even said that in his deposition 👀 the way he acted that night during that 911 call screams he was in rage and on that ❄️. It was the 90s and I’m sure everybody and they granny was doing it.
Because she was in it for the fame honestly which explains her ''damsel in distress'' look that the media made fun of her about. Like she legit thought looking distress was going to put OJ in jail LOL And plus look at that silly OJ show she ran, you can clearly see it was a cash grab that people forgot about right away so she never had any intent on being a legit lawyer. She's a fraud.
How stressful and scary it must be to have to testify at any time but especially such a huge televised trial crazy involving murder. And you have to be on the stand and try to remember little details about everything and share your personal information with everyone! How awful
the defense team and OJ are laughing at Marcia C around 1:42.00... something related to her hyper curiosity about the owner of that Akita dog... she splits too many hairs imo. If the jury can't tell what your going after, they can get confused, or lose interest, or just think you are reaching... keep it relevant and pick your battles.
I remember watching this trial and thinking he got away with double murder literally. Forget if the glove doesn’t fit you must always a quit line. He had another glove on.
Not only the other gloves, he wasn't taking his medication, so his hands had swelled up, and he wasn't really trying to get the glove on he was acting. This would have never been an issue had Dardin not asked him to try them on. Trial law 101 never ask a question you don't know the answer to. He let Johnny get in his head and make this mistake. It didn't matter this jury was not going to convict OJ even if he was on tape doing the murder!!
Totally bit of a circus that distracted from truth, no one else had any motive he either did it or ordered it. Any other common Joe it would've been guilty ten times over.
They say he stopped taking his arthritis meds a couple months before the trial so that his hands would swell and the glove wouldnt fit. I think Rob Ks reaction at the verdict says it all.. He won and was devastated.
Was OJ happy about you going with him to McDonalds? "Wouldn't you?" I WATCH THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND I LAUGH EVERY TIME (see 41:03).. I HAD A CRUSH ON KATO THEN AND I STILL DO...YUMMY!
As a survivor, victims of domestic violence I've put in several restraining orders and no contact orders. My question is, why does she never file? Any of them,/ any of those in court? She calls my phone and stays to everyone how he's gonna kill her and beat her to death, but she's never filed a restraining order. Alright, no corainting order????!!!!! this it's troubling and massively confusing
She was a victim of domestic abuse and stalking. This was 1994? 95? She was with him since she was 18 yrs old. Today we can recognize grooming. If you are confused, think abt how confusing it was for Nicole.
OJ paid most of Nicole's family's way... I remember watching an interview with Nicole's sisters... nobody wanted nicole to do anything that could possibly get that money train stopped. Sad fact... especially her parents, they loved OJ
@@conniegalan5534 you're a pretty naive they were both in the drugs and not to talk ill of the Dead but it's well documented her and her friends were hose bags
Kato is so fun!! I like him- he got a bad rap but he DID pay rent and it was OJ who didn’t want his money. The kids really liked him and Nicole trusted him. It’s kind of touching that Sydney and Justin wanted to name their dog Kato - “because he’s silly”. It’s important to me to remember how stressful and unusual this whole thing was for the witnesses & Kato was NICOLES friend first and foremost and he lost his friend. And was stuck still on the property of her killer. I don’t envy the position he was in back then at all.
I forgot that initially he lived with Nicole and it bothered OJ enough that he asked him to move to his place. I think he really cared about Nicole and her children. I don't believe he was romantically interested in her I never heard him mention that. Unless my memory is not clear.
He wasn't. He spoke well of the whole family and they liked him. OJ liked him. As others have said, he was just in an unfortunate situation.@@tomv5988
I remember watching the Trial. The day of the verdict we all gathered around a small TV set we had to play videos. I’m in LA. Less than 5 miles from Brentwood. This trial was 100% racially divided. The black secretaries were elated, whites devastated and others pretty much quiet. There was almost a fistfight between two secretaries. Sheer madness. In looking back, OJ had the element of the crime taking place before cameras, solid DNA and better law enforcement developed (the LAPD was good - evidence was not planted). But in addition to the times, looking back at this, he had an absolutely amazing legal team. I believe he would be found guilty today but back then things were so much different. Crazy times.
The Westlake district of L. A is in tact The point that racial tension could have happened is the point that nothing happened We can't live by intentional mistakes in the past ! Violence isn't an ancestry Blame the legal system , blame the prosecution . . Consider, that it's two people that we don't know anything about One that wasn't allowed to be innocent The other that's supposed to be innocent of everything because of domestic violence . It still isn't murder
@@KevinShaughnessy-lf3vs The defense attempted to present one flat earther theory. That was never allowed to be presented during the trial due to being debunked. Which would have equated to a victim being a villain and a villain being a victim. The witness they claimed would have proved it obviously never got near the witness stand. O.J. never stepped a single inch towards the witness stand either during his own trial. He never bothered to save his own reputation so he could continue working. He did move to Florida claiming he was really scared of bumping into the real perpetrator.
@@HazelAdoreRaven You've answered the question How involved was O. J Simpson testifying under oath certainly isn't about clearing his name He can't do that As you've mentioned it's about naming names One of which could be Charlie Ehrlich , possibly involved in the 1993 exact murder of Brett Cantor An investigation into drug trafficking Without guessing who was involved
@@KevinShaughnessy-lf3vs I mentioned saving his own reputation so he could continue working. I can easily say 1/4 of the way through the trial he was 98% exiled. You mentioned clearing his name which would mean proving his own innocence. I never mentioned naming names. You mentioned naming names. Johnnie Clown Car Cochran had many theories as to who committed the crimes. By the time he was finished he had almost everybody either trafficking or using. As if he took an entire vat of noodles and threw at a wall seeing if anything might stick.
I like literally stayed home from school just so I can watch the trial because I'm into court TV I've been since I've been 10 years old I want to be a prosecutor and a defense lawyer I always believe in my heart that OJ is guilty 1 million percent❤
Watch his interview about "If I Did It,' if you haven't. He describes what happened in a lot of detail. Like he'd say, "He crouched down in this karate position...," when talking about Ron Goldman confronting him. He almost forgot to make it sound fictional.
OJ running into the ac unit shortly after the murders. The glove was found back there and it seems Oj ran into it coming back into the house avoiding the lights at the front of the house after he killed Ron and Nicole.
@@margaretkaine3001 why would he run into it? Why would it cause 3 bumps? Why would he enter thru the front door rather than the back door out of view of the limo?
This is when the pettiness of Ms Clark came out, " when she asks kato "was OJ happy to have him in his company? The lawyers object to the question, and kato makes a joke of her question by saying wouldn't you??? "The court erupts into laughter hahahaha,but Ms Clark is pissed, no more being nice to her own witness. At this point Ms Clark becomes redundant in her questioning, asking the same questions over and over again and again. Now she's going overboard even answering her own questions before the witness can even speak. Kato knows nothing about OJ and Nicole other then their no longer married, but are still seeing each other off and on and their both dating multiple people, and on occasion they argued twice in his presence. The only question needed be asked of Kato is what time did you hear the noise outside your room and when was last time you seen OJ Simpson before his flight to Chicago. What kato eventually becomes to jurors is a freeloading jerk.
@jim-oq9px Ms Clark couldn't stay focused, on one hand she's fighting a child custody case, a failed marriage, and trying to be the leading prosecutors in a double homicide. "They basically eliminated Ronald Goldman from the trial and in their closing arguments both Darden and Ms Clark don't even mention Ronald Goldman it was all about OJ Simpson and Nicole Simpson and how he abused her. The prosecutors turned a double homicide into a domestic violence case. My personal belief is that the detectives, the district attorneys office and the prosecution team had never prosecuted a wealthy Black man before, so they treated OJ Simpson as if he was some poor negro: and handled the case as such and that was their biggest mistake, and they got outlawed because of it. They never faced powerful attorneys of this magnitude when it comes to a wealthy man like OJ Simpson. Every inch of evidence was put to the test, paid for by OJ Simpson, not the Black Community, no fundraising no church collection not one penny. Black people only gathered around OJ Simpson, because of the police and the media convicted him without a trial and the police was just unbelievable not a one could be creditable. When all fails race becomes an issue and police corruption gets ignored by those who believe that cops don't commit crimes. That was the difference between Blacks and Whites in this case; it just so happens that these police officers and those in charge of critical evidence were White and they had a bad history with Black people in California LA. County, even the Fuhrman tapes were proof of that city's history concerning law enforcement officers like Mark Fuhrman. Not one officer would come forward to vouch for Mark Fuhrman as being a good cop, "even Vannatter under cross examination when questioned by Robert Shapiro would get frustrated when confronted about who was giving the orders, making it look like Mark Fuhrman was giving the orders! Vannatter in his arrogance, "says Fuhrman couldn't tell me nothing. "Case closed, "because now Vannatter has to explain why did you take OJs blood sample to both the crime scene twenty-five miles away, instead of a few doors down where the blood sample was taken?, and then when the evidence of EDTA shows up on that sock; "game over." from that point on they could never explain how or why, promoting Ms Clark to say it's in the foods we eat. "If that were true Everybody should have EDTA in their system including the murdered victims. 30 years have gone by and not a single person other then OJ Simpson was being charged with murder. I still wonder if he did it, because if there were others involved that got ignored, because OJ Simpson was going to be the example of stay in your lane and don't crossover here....because that's exactly how it looked with those detectives who only had an high school education and came up in the ranks. " Even Fuhrman only had a GED diploma and spent time in the military. In today's law enforcement, they'd be patrol officers not detectives by no means. Now that OJ is dead all the silent people who had nothing to say are doing a hell of a lot of talking about OJ and Nicole's relationship and all kinds of conspiracy theories......."May they all rest in peace.🌹🌹🌹

There was never a question who the DNA belonged to. It was how it got there, that defined the case. Also, because of double jeopardy, OJ may never be tried for this case again. 🤷♂️
@@LynxStarAuto I just thought if DNA was inside the glove or under the victims nails or a place where it would be impossible to plant, it would be known and recorded in history that he did indeed do it and got away with it.

It would just be validation that he did it without a doubt, aside from a deathbed confession, which will undoubtedly never happen being the narcissist that he is.

they laughed because they were very highly paid lawyers -- marcia clark was a nobody and nobody liked her. simpsons dream team consisted of F Lee Bailey, you don't get better than that.
I never realized how repetitive she was. How many times did she ask about the dog and other things yet never during the trial brought up the bronco chase and more important data???
This is why all his lawyers had horrible things happen to them, cancer and death for 2 and the death of a beloved child for another. They literally fought to get him away with murder and they knew it. And OJ did finally get jail time. The DNA like come on. Brutal. He was guilty as sin and we all knew it and we all had to watch him walk. Still so unbelievable and disgusting.
So a defensive attorney deserves to have bad things happen to them for doing their job that the constitution you so love affords everyone? Your analogy sucks.
What about George Zimmermans lawyers, THEY GOT A COLD KILLER OFF? You sound ridiculous. If it does not fit, then what... say it for the people in the back. NOT GUILTY.
The lawyers all thought he was guilty but that's their job as criminal justice attorney. Look on TH-cam for the secret tapes of OJ Simpson all his attorney n friends knew he was guilty especially after hearing him in the 911 call.
this is the reason why crime scene photo's need to be seen by the public. even after he was found not guilty, people didn't really understand how brutal that crime was until decades later when the photos were released. Darden hands down is the best attorney there and Clark totally blew this case by throwing Furman under the bus. Everyone knows now he was reading from a script when he said those racist things just like a million actors do everyday. In what universe did she think that destroying her lead detective would somehow help her case?
Marcia really jumps around in her questioning, can’t blame him for being kinda confused. He’s obviously trying his best. If you’ve never given testimony, it’s nerve wracking. He’s doing it in front of the whole country.
Because he made racist comments that were well known among everyone he knew and if he had to admit it, it would have without a doubt swayed the jury to a guilty verdict. Who called Fuhrman the Fuhrer; defense or prosecution?
Because he did not want to get in trouble for perjury. He said he did not say the n word in ten years. He said the n word nine years ago though so he would have gotten in trouble
@@lorir5728 I know why he took the 5th, but I was referring to him possibly planting the glove. I think he just lied about the N-word, didn't he? I did ask why he took the 5th, but it was more to hint that he may have actually planted the glove.
@carrieohio Saying he planted the glove is absolutely ridiculous. First off, at that point, he didn't even know if OJ was in California or even alive, for that matter. Second thing Kato heard a bang behind his house well before before the police ever showed up after the bang OJ appeared telling the limo driver who had been waiting on him for awhile that he woke up late and needed to shower. That jury had absolutely no intention of convicting OJ the old black lady said it in a interview the blacks on the jury felt this was revenge for the Rodney King verdict. The old White lady, who the defense wanted off the jury, was bullied into vote, not guilty she reported she was being bullied, and nothing was done because they didn't want to have to start over again. How much evidence do you need to find the guy guilty? lol his finger was cut and his blood was there at the crime scene, and the victims blood was at his house for crying out loud. Did you need it on video??
Boy, this judge really screwed up bad, as well as the prosecution. They had more evidence that they could have put in. The blood spatter guy gave it to judge Ito because that's what he was ordered to do and judge Ito never did anything with it. Ridiculous. Rest in peace Nicole and Ron.
1:18:56, how hard would it be as a prosecutor to have Shapiro, Cochran and Bailey breathing down your neck as you're questioning the witness? Clark was dragged through the mud for doing her job. The prosecution showed he was guilty, but ignorant star crazed jurors who were out for Rodney King revenge let a murderer go. So so glad he's rotting in hell where he belongs.

I am usually annoyed by someone rude asking if someone has been living under a rock, but I can't imagine any other way that you could have missed this sad murder.
Im trying to find a legitimate answer. By the way I think hes guilty too. Can someone explain how the glove got back there if there was only blood going from the bronco up the driveway to the house?
OJ had 2 driveways into his home. Instead of going up one, he parked crookedly on the road. He went through the bush at the back and approached the garage from the side path right behind katos bungalow. He was running because he'd seen the limo at the main driveway. He was running, already lost 1 glove at the crime scene, smashed into the air conditioning unit behind katos, in the dark and dropped the remaining glove. It couldn't be planted as when it was discovered, cops didn't know where OJ was even if he was in the country so why plant something for an absent citizen. Just dumb. Hope that helps
Except according to phone records Nicole was on the phone at 10:54 pm .... When oj was in the limo heading to the airport with no bandaids or wounds as stated by the limo driver
Kato was at the crime scene and saw oj murdering nicole... In ojs confession he mentions his accomplice as "charlie" and keto was sporting same hairstyle as that of charlie sheen at that time in his recent released movie hot shots 1993
This was as hard to watch today as it was 30 years ago. Marcia Clark was not a good prosecutor. She focused on the wrong things and was so repetitive I wanted to scream. No wonder OJ got away with murder.
when people blame darden for the loss they shoud really watch these interactions and acknowlege the ineptitude in clarks supposed witness. she botched it so badly thta she had to declare her own witness hostile.
Because everybody dislikes him and has criticized him for not having control of the courtroom and pandering to the media. Marcia Clarke called him "starstruck" and even a "star f***Er". Nobody is interested in anything he says. He'll never take responsibility for this sh*t show than Johnnie Cochran ran in the courtroom. Judge also had a conflict of interest in this case with his wife being a cop or lawyer in the Fuhrman matter. He would not recuse himself. Massive ego.
I am from Europe , but I am so interested in this case even if it is so old , but what americans think , because I believe he is guilty , even if he murdered them or let someone else do the work ?
@Boc3phu5 the civil trial found him guilty. He had the same exact shoes (which were a very rare brand), the exact same size as the foot prints at the scene. He had no alibi for the time. He was wearing gloves under the gloves. He wrote a book and did an interview stating how he did it...
Think my Aunt Katie had a a little crush on him. Man, my mother and aunt were glued to watching the whole trial, arguing each day like lawyers about the case (lol). Judge Ito came and ate at my restaurant in San Francisco Bay Area during that time in 1995. Surreal.

Yes. If you watch his podcast with Tom Zenner called "Tom Zenner's One Degree" he explains that his hesitation on the stand was more him wanting to be precise to give the right answers and also he was nervous because of the cameras in the court room.

It's the only thing that makes me wonder if Kato told the complete truth.

@@bethvirginiaphillips4583 Rumors are just rumors. One cannot believe a rumor. It sounds like it was probably made up by a person who was angry with Kato for his conduct on the stand and perhaps protecting OJ. He has had a lot of haters over the years when he did his best in a circumstance completely outside of his choosing. He got caught up in the circus and got blamed for the not guilty verdict. Also people forget that Kato and OJ were not close, not even friends, just acquaintances as a result of OJ not wanting Kato to live with Nicole because he was a possessive narcissist. Kato has always lived a clean life, his heart is pure.
@@Romulan2469 yeah. I tend to agree with that.

There could have been a video of OJ killing Nicole and Ron Goldman all the while OJ yelling he did it in the courtroom and that jury still would have said not guilty.
9 unidentified, fingerprints, were found at a contaminated crime scene

The Rockingham estate was entered without a warrant !
Domestic violence
isn't murder !
Ron Goldman, was murdered, without any attention to domestic violence !
It didn't matter !
Statements are only supported by physical evidence
The photographs, of
Nicole Brown Simpson, kept in a safety deposit box with an inadmissible diary. was blackmail !

Ron Goldman, was a dealer that plea bargained to become an informant
Nicole Brown Simpson
was a cocaine addict, a golddigger, &:a con artist that kept the company of several men

You sound like a racist sociopathic troll
They said it themselves after the trial. This was payback for Rodney King. The trial should have been held in Santa Monica. Not downtown LA.
And juror throws up black power after not guilty verdict. Although the defense had to redecorate OJs house with more african decorations 😂 . He said I’m not black I’m oj. Definitely shouldn’t have had that trial in LA. with jurors who had that mindset.
This was such a circus, it's amazing that the dog wasn't put on the stand.

An isolated tape of the 911 call in 1991,
has OJ Simpson arguing that there were two call girls, and a drug dealer at the Rockingham estate in 1989
The actual recording !!
With Simpson expressing concerns for the environment of his children
It's during the 911 conversation that the operator asks Nicole Brown Simpson in 1991
was it something that you did?
Nicole Brown Simpson replied
Yes a long time ago
Even with an intention of only being married to support a lifestyle
The $50.000 received each month would not support an enormous cocaine habit included with a vigorous debt.
This is illegally withholding evidence
Regardless of opinions surrounding only circumstantial evidence
with illegal procedure at the Rockingham estate A picture
perfect lifestyle was excessively overused
to protect the lies that were told .
Furthermore racial prejudice was entered into testimony to legally discredit the Los Angeles police department
It was a precaution to avoid another race riot in los Angeles with intentional mistakes

There's no legal right to a guilty verdict
that never swayed the jury

The whole premise of these murders, jealousy,

OJ treated Nicole like property.
That evening was the daughter's recital and the whole family went to dinner after...except for one person, and boy!!!
He was MAD for being excluded.
He ended up at a McDonald's drive thru, which added to his rage.
Seeing Nicole in her mini skirt that night and being completely ignored, made OJ who was enraged more so
He killed her and the degree if the wounds should've been enough to show it was only one person...especially that one rich person with the overpriced Italian loafers that left the bloody footprints.
This so called dream team (Cochran) made it into a race war.
Which didnt make sense because IJ did not and would not interact with the black community...OJ preferred white company and white women.
And even with all thise facts, the black community STILL backed OJ.
it never made sense to me then, and now.

@@Nonameforyoudangit It was her witness too (I'm pretty sure), which made it that much more ridiculous. At some point he wasn't giving the exact answers she wanted and became what is referred to as a "hostile witness", so she began to grill him and eventually bury his credibility to the jury.
Kato was such a great witness though he was clearly nervous. He was solid on his testimony which never changed. At one point Clark turned him into a hostile witness and basically descredicted him in the eyes of the jury.
I just commented on how atrocious she was on direct. You can tell she went off script which further unnerved poor Kato. Darden gets a lot of the blame but IMO the blame rests 70% on the racist jury and 28% on Clarke.

Because she was in it for the fame honestly which explains her ''damsel in distress'' look that the media made fun of her about.

Kato's hair was cool af
I remember watching his testimony and i believed everything he said.
the defense team and OJ are laughing at Marcia C around 1:42.00... something related to her hyper curiosity about the owner of that Akita dog... she splits too many hairs imo. If the jury can't tell what your going after, they can get confused, or lose interest, or just think you are reaching... keep it relevant and pick your battles.
Good point
She’s asking questions that aren’t even pertinent to the case.
You mean about the Akita dog? Yes.
Too many ducking irrelevant questions
I remember watching this trial and thinking he got away with double murder literally. Forget if the glove doesn’t fit you must always a quit line. He had another glove on.
Not only the other gloves, he wasn't taking his medication, so his hands had swelled up, and he wasn't really trying to get the glove on he was acting. This would have never been an issue had Dardin not asked him to try them on. Trial law 101 never ask a question you don't know the answer to. He let Johnny get in his head and make this mistake. It didn't matter this jury was not going to convict OJ even if he was on tape doing the murder!!
Totally bit of a circus that distracted from truth, no one else had any motive he either did it or ordered it. Any other common Joe it would've been guilty ten times over.
They say he stopped taking his arthritis meds a couple months before the trial so that his hands would swell and the glove wouldnt fit. I think Rob Ks reaction at the verdict says it all.. He won and was devastated.

As a survivor, victims of domestic violence I've put in several restraining orders and no contact orders. My question is, why does she never file? Any of them,/ any of those in court?

Alright, no corainting order????!!!!! this it's troubling and massively confusing
OJ paid the Bills he couldn't do that from jail 😮
She was a victim of domestic abuse and stalking. This was 1994? 95? She was with him since she was 18 yrs old. Today we can recognize grooming. If you are confused, think abt how confusing it was for Nicole.

It was a very different - worse time - especially if your abuser was wealthy, and, or famous.
Kato is so fun!! I like him- he got a bad rap but he DID pay rent and it was OJ who didn’t want his money. The kids really liked him and Nicole trusted him. It’s kind of touching that Sydney and Justin wanted to name their dog Kato - “because he’s silly”. It’s important to me to remember how stressful and unusual this whole thing was for the witnesses & Kato was NICOLES friend first and foremost and he lost his friend. And was stuck still on the property of her killer. I don’t envy the position he was in back then at all.
I forgot that initially he lived with Nicole and it bothered OJ enough that he asked him to move to his place.
I think he really cared about Nicole and her children.
I don't believe he was romantically interested in her
I never heard him mention that.
Unless my memory is not clear.
He wasn't. He spoke well of the whole family and they liked him. OJ liked him. As others have said, he was just in an unfortunate situation.@@tomv5988
I remember watching the Trial. The day of the verdict we all gathered around a small TV set we had to play videos. I’m in LA. Less than 5 miles from Brentwood. This trial was 100% racially divided. The black secretaries were elated, whites devastated and others pretty much quiet. There was almost a fistfight between two secretaries. Sheer madness. In looking back, OJ had the element of the crime taking place before cameras, solid DNA and better law enforcement developed (the LAPD was good - evidence was not planted). But in addition to the times, looking back at this, he had an absolutely amazing legal team. I believe he would be found guilty today but back then things were so much different. Crazy times.
People did not understand DNA. Even some of the lawyers did not understand the significance of the DNA.
The Westlake district of L. A is in tact
The point that racial tension could have happened is the point that nothing happened
We can't live by intentional mistakes in the past !

This is when the pettiness of Ms Clark came out, " when she asks kato "was OJ happy to have him in his company? The lawyers object to the question, and kato makes a joke of her question by saying wouldn't you??? "The court erupts into laughter hahahaha,but Ms Clark is pissed, no more being nice to her own witness. At this point Ms Clark becomes redundant in her questioning, asking the same questions over and over again and again. Now she's going overboard even answering her own questions before the witness can even speak. Kato knows nothing about OJ and Nicole other then their no longer married, but are still seeing each other off and on and their both dating multiple people, and on occasion they argued twice in his presence. The only question needed be asked of Kato is what time did you hear the noise outside your room and when was last time you seen OJ Simpson before his flight to Chicago.
What kato eventually becomes to jurors is a freeloading jerk.
@jim-oq9px Ms Clark couldn't stay focused, on one hand she's fighting a child custody case, a failed marriage, and trying to be the leading prosecutors in a double homicide.
"They basically eliminated Ronald Goldman from the trial and in their closing arguments both Darden and Ms Clark don't even mention Ronald Goldman it was all about OJ Simpson and Nicole Simpson and how he abused her.
The prosecutors turned a double homicide into a domestic violence case.
My personal belief is that the detectives, the district attorneys office and the prosecution team had never prosecuted a wealthy Black man before, so they treated OJ Simpson as if he was some poor negro:
and handled the case as such and that was their biggest mistake, and they got outlawed because of it. They never faced powerful attorneys of this magnitude when it comes to a wealthy man like OJ Simpson.
Every inch of evidence was put to the test, paid for by OJ Simpson, not the Black Community, no fundraising no church collection not one penny.
Black people only gathered around OJ Simpson, because of the police and the media convicted him without a trial and the police was just unbelievable not a one could be creditable.
When all fails race becomes an issue and police corruption gets ignored by those who believe that cops don't commit crimes.
That was the difference between Blacks and Whites in this case; it just so happens that these police officers and those in charge of critical evidence were White and they had a bad history with Black people in California LA. County, even the Fuhrman tapes were proof of that city's history concerning law enforcement officers like Mark Fuhrman.
Not one officer would come forward to vouch for Mark Fuhrman as being a good cop, "even Vannatter under cross examination when questioned by Robert Shapiro would get frustrated when confronted about who was giving the orders, making it look like Mark Fuhrman was giving the orders!
Vannatter in his arrogance, "says Fuhrman couldn't tell me nothing. "Case closed, "because now Vannatter has to explain why did you take OJs blood sample to both the crime scene twenty-five miles away, instead of a few doors down where the blood sample was taken?, and then when the evidence of EDTA shows up on that sock; "game over."
from that point on they could never explain how or why, promoting Ms Clark to say it's in the foods we eat. "If that were true Everybody should have EDTA in their system including the murdered victims.
30 years have gone by and not a single person other then OJ Simpson was being charged with murder. I still wonder if he did it, because if there were others involved that got ignored, because OJ Simpson was going to be the example of stay in your lane and don't crossover here....because that's exactly how it looked with those detectives who only had an high school education and came up in the ranks.
" Even Fuhrman only had a GED diploma and spent time in the military. In today's law enforcement, they'd be patrol officers not detectives by no means.
Now that OJ is dead all the silent people who had nothing to say are doing a hell of a lot of talking about OJ and Nicole's relationship and all kinds of conspiracy theories......."May they all rest in peace.🌹🌹🌹

I wonder if kato even thought about OJ tried to frame him, since he was the only one there.
@@75pdubs to avoid being seen..he was a bloody mess...i personally think he dropped it an couldn't find it cuz it was so dark, hence the thud..not much room back there...leaves everywhere from what i remember... and a big dude like o.j. bumped the wall/a.c. unit..then he gave up thinking he'd rid of it later.
With all these cold cases getting prosecuted because of DNA evidence, why don’t they at least test the DNA for the families sake?
There was never a question who the DNA belonged to. It was how it got there, that defined the case. Also, because of double jeopardy, OJ may never be tried for this case again. 🤷♂️
@@LynxStarAuto I just thought if DNA was inside the glove or under the victims nails or a place where it would be impossible to plant, it would be known and recorded in history that he did indeed do it and got away with it. I understand double jeopardy applies and I know the family won the civil suit. It would just be validation that he did it without a doubt, aside from a deathbed confession, which will undoubtedly never happen being the narcissist that he is.
@@laurablake2711would
Be cool of him if he admitted it on his death bed . He can’t say it now or he will go to jail
@@Emolga6274Obviously you have never heard of double jeopardy. You might want to look it up so you stop spreading false information...
DNA was so obviously used in this case
Does seem she’s asking some dumb questions. “That’s a lamp” “that a painting” “ that’s a car”

Looking back, I can’t believe how much this judge allowed the defense to laugh at their own comments! It does emphasize that we have come at least a little way toward respecting female prosecutors and judges that don’t allow this in their court
they laughed because they were very highly paid lawyers -- marcia clark was a nobody and nobody liked her. simpsons dream team consisted of F Lee Bailey, you don't get better than that.
Funny that the prosecution still spent far more on the case than OJ did.
The way Kato plays with the mic lol
Stephanie Lazarus & Mark Fuhrman were probably colleagues at the LAPD in the 80's & 90's. We need to hold LEO's to a higher standard.
lEO’s?????..
She’s so annoyingly repetitive and choppy in her questioning I can see why they lost
I never realized how repetitive she was. How many times did she ask about the dog and other things yet never during the trial brought up the bronco chase and more important data???
Also the goofy hair didn’t help. I can see why they voted not guilty.

This is why all his lawyers had horrible things happen to them, cancer and death for 2 and the death of a beloved child for another. They literally fought to get him away with murder and they knew it. And OJ did finally get jail time. The DNA like come on. Brutal. He was guilty as sin and we all knew it and we all had to watch him walk. Still so unbelievable and disgusting.
We all gone die one day! People who live right die early because it’s their time to go. BTW, OJ is still alive many years later.
So a defensive attorney deserves to have bad things happen to them for doing their job that the constitution you so love affords everyone? Your analogy sucks.
What about George Zimmermans lawyers, THEY GOT A COLD KILLER OFF? You sound ridiculous. If it does not fit, then what... say it for the people in the back. NOT GUILTY.
@@sappmorgan4647 not any more
The lawyers all thought he was guilty but that's their job as criminal justice attorney. Look on TH-cam for the secret tapes of OJ Simpson all his attorney n friends knew he was guilty especially after hearing him in the 911 call.
Kato is a stand up guy...a good man. Got a bum rap, if you ask me.
Oh he did. He got smeared by the media back then.
He was probably trying to frame kato leaving the blood and glove there
this is the reason why crime scene photo's need to be seen by the public. even after he was found not guilty, people didn't really understand how brutal that crime was until decades later when the photos were released. Darden hands down is the best attorney there and Clark totally blew this case by throwing Furman under the bus. Everyone knows now he was reading from a script when he said those racist things just like a million actors do everyday. In what universe did she think that destroying her lead detective would somehow help her case?
Reading from a script? It was an interview.
You can easily see them online
Marcia Clark asks so many step-by-step questions it would drive anyone crazy man I don't know how Kato did it dag
Marcia really jumps around in her questioning, can’t blame him for being kinda confused. He’s obviously trying his best. If you’ve never given testimony, it’s nerve wracking. He’s doing it in front of the whole country.
So many unnecessary repetitive questions!! No wonder the trial took 9 months!
Why would Fuhrman take the 5th? That's party why oj won, IMO.
Nonsense this jury already said it was payback for the Rodney King verdict. They wouldn't have convicted him if he was on video doing it.
Because he made racist comments that were well known among everyone he knew and if he had to admit it, it would have without a doubt swayed the jury to a guilty verdict. Who called Fuhrman the Fuhrer; defense or prosecution?
Because he did not want to get in trouble for perjury. He said he did not say the n word in ten years. He said the n word nine years ago though so he would have gotten in trouble
@@lorir5728 I know why he took the 5th, but I was referring to him possibly planting the glove. I think he just lied about the N-word, didn't he? I did ask why he took the 5th, but it was more to hint that he may have actually planted the glove.
@carrieohio Saying he planted the glove is absolutely ridiculous. First off, at that point, he didn't even know if OJ was in California or even alive, for that matter. Second thing Kato heard a bang behind his house well before before the police ever showed up after the bang OJ appeared telling the limo driver who had been waiting on him for awhile that he woke up late and needed to shower. That jury had absolutely no intention of convicting OJ the old black lady said it in a interview the blacks on the jury felt this was revenge for the Rodney King verdict. The old White lady, who the defense wanted off the jury, was bullied into vote, not guilty she reported she was being bullied, and nothing was done because they didn't want to have to start over again. How much evidence do you need to find the guy guilty? lol his finger was cut and his blood was there at the crime scene, and the victims blood was at his house for crying out loud. Did you need it on video??
I like how most of the cast really looked like the people involved in the real case. Except for o.j, Cuba gooding jr was too little.
Yea, i haven't seen the film but was surprised by the casting of Cuba for this role.
Boy, this judge really screwed up bad, as well as the prosecution. They had more evidence that they could have put in. The blood spatter guy gave it to judge Ito because that's what he was ordered to do and judge Ito never did anything with it. Ridiculous. Rest in peace Nicole and Ron.
Being a defense lawyer is a crazy profession!
Geez, I watched this a the time it was shown on tv.
I don't remember that it took hours to ask a question, fortunately.
Exactly.
1:18:56, how hard would it be as a prosecutor to have Shapiro, Cochran and Bailey breathing down your neck as you're questioning the witness? Clark was dragged through the mud for doing her job. The prosecution showed he was guilty, but ignorant star crazed jurors who were out for Rodney King revenge let a murderer go. So so glad he's rotting in hell where he belongs.
Agreed! Prosecution did a good job just like the Prosecution on Casey Anthony case.. the jury on both cases saw something else which I don't believe was facts
Who remembers how many times someone was in a garage? 16 times? Does he have a photogenic memory?!
He was being sarcastic.... It was missed.

Such crazy questions
O.J. Simpson was in some sort of trouble with the law? When did this happen?
Omg are you serious or being sarcastic?
He's had several run ins with the law but this one was 1994.
@@heatherbeach4696 It must have been for being too good of a running back. I can't think of anything else, he certainly had a great relationship with his wife.
@@atfmedia9540*You are a sarcastic piece of crap!! 🤦♀️ He K1LLED HIS WIFE AND HER FRIEND!! THE COURT ACKNOWLENGED THAT HE DID INDEED MURDER THEM. HOWEVER, THIS JURY WAS TOO DUMB TO EVEN THINK.

Which wife would that be? The one named Nicole Brown Simpson who divorced him? Then was brutally murdered by him in a shocking violent attack? Along with her friend Ron Goldman? I am usually annoyed by someone rude asking if someone has been living under a rock, but I can't imagine any other way that you could have missed this sad murder.
1894.
Its wild how much of a joke this court room was
Im trying to find a legitimate answer. By the way I think hes guilty too. Can someone explain how the glove got back there if there was only blood going from the bronco up the driveway to the house?
OJ had 2 driveways into his home. Instead of going up one, he parked crookedly on the road. He went through the bush at the back and approached the garage from the side path right behind katos bungalow. He was running because he'd seen the limo at the main driveway. He was running, already lost 1 glove at the crime scene, smashed into the air conditioning unit behind katos, in the dark and dropped the remaining glove. It couldn't be planted as when it was discovered, cops didn't know where OJ was even if he was in the country so why plant something for an absent citizen. Just dumb. Hope that helps
@@julesmisty that didn't answer it. Why was the glove at the side of the house and no blood and blood going up his driveway?
9:37 pm they return from McDonald's and the murder was at 10 pm 😮
Oj dropped Kato off and went straight to Nicole's house he fooled alot of people but not me
She only lived 6 mins away
Except according to phone records Nicole was on the phone at 10:54 pm .... When oj was in the limo heading to the airport with no bandaids or wounds as stated by the limo driver
@@70elcamino. I genuinely would like to see this evidence. Can you please show me
Kato was at the crime scene and saw oj murdering nicole... In ojs confession he mentions his accomplice as "charlie" and keto was sporting same hairstyle as that of charlie sheen at that time in his recent released movie hot shots 1993
Judge Ito. Probably the only judge next to judy il never forget
LOL
OJ flashbacks at Christmas time? Really @courttv? Then don't shirk. Do the WHOLE TRIAL!
😂
Please do the whole trial.
kato was raised right.
Is this video earlier?Kato said they got back home at 9:40 after McDonald’s so how did he call his friend Tom at 9:37. Can someone clear this up
Why’s his testimony being replayed?
Cuz ur watching it
It’s a classic.
THUMP THUMP THUMP
@@Emolga6274I meant because it has been replayed on CourtTV recently, genius.
This was as hard to watch today as it was 30 years ago. Marcia Clark was not a good prosecutor. She focused on the wrong things and was so repetitive I wanted to scream. No wonder OJ got away with murder.
I saw on Google last year that the Akita dog Kato passed away in 2003 🐶 😢
Duh. This crime happened 30 yrs ago!! Did you think doggie Kato was still alive? 🙄
@@julesmisty 😂
Why didnt Clark call to the stand the woman who saw Simpson on his way back to Rockingham from the crime scene?
She sold her story to tabloids and became unreliable.
I remember watching this live.
when people blame darden for the loss they shoud really watch these interactions and acknowlege the ineptitude in clarks supposed witness. she botched it so badly thta she had to declare her own witness hostile.
i've never heard anyone blame darden much. mostly blamed marcia.
@@Seashellsbytheseashore21 Darden gets credit for the gloves typically
Was OJ in jail during this trial???
He would not be left at home. Yes in prison.. held being tried for a double murder.
How come the Judge has never done a book or interview
Because everybody dislikes him and has criticized him for not having control of the courtroom and pandering to the media. Marcia Clarke called him "starstruck" and even a "star f***Er". Nobody is interested in anything he says. He'll never take responsibility for this sh*t show than Johnnie Cochran ran in the courtroom. Judge also had a conflict of interest in this case with his wife being a cop or lawyer in the Fuhrman matter. He would not recuse himself. Massive ego.
I am from Europe , but I am so interested in this case even if it is so old , but what americans think , because I believe he is guilty , even if he murdered them or let someone else do the work ?
He is innocent. our American justice system found him not guilty so therefore he is innocent.
I personally believe he killed them, on his own and Nicole saw it coming for years.
@@Boc3phu5 no, it means he was found not guilty. that doesn't mean he is innocent.
@Boc3phu5 the civil trial found him guilty. He had the same exact shoes (which were a very rare brand), the exact same size as the foot prints at the scene. He had no alibi for the time. He was wearing gloves under the gloves. He wrote a book and did an interview stating how he did it...
Think my Aunt Katie had a a little crush on him. Man, my mother and aunt were glued to watching the whole trial, arguing each day like lawyers about the case (lol). Judge Ito came and ate at my restaurant in San Francisco Bay Area during that time in 1995. Surreal.
Focus on the time he heard the bumps out side the house and match it up eith the time they found the bodies the time is in the same ballpark
The napsack was crucial evidence.She should have focused more on it and I would have asked if the napsack was there the first time he went out.
In Sveden we call it a noopsack
