In a way, OJ Simpson died long before today. Though he was never convicted, he was a marked man for the rest of his life. This song was perfectly utilized to show the tragedy of this case. “Ain’t no sunshine when’s she gone… and this house just ain’t no home, anytime she goes away…“
Totally agree. After losing his first wife, his daughter drowning, and just an all around rough childhood, OJ was so scared of losing loved ones that he abused Nicole in fear of her leaving him too. Very tragic figure and he brought it on himself trying to avoid it
True he no longer was loved as much and he didn’t get to be in movies and commercials anymore but he still got to get up and golf whenever Murderers should be in jail for life
cuba as OJ was an absolutely horrendous choice. Nowhere near as physically intimidating as OJ. Also he has this naisley high pitched child voices where as OJ had a very deep voice
It really stayed true to being morally gray like it wanted to be, didn’t it? Other stories would probably try to be gray before pulling their punches with, “nah, that side sucks. This side was always right!”
Plus between the exorbitant cost of keeping the dream team on the case for months, the Custody fight with the Brown's and the Goldmans' lawsuit (that on top of losing he still had to pay lawyers to defend) his fortune was basically wiped out. So it's not even like he got to live a luxurious lifestyle with his freedom. He spent much of his time between the trial and the armed robbery trying to find ways to make money (which if successful would prompt a fresh legal filing from the Goldmans, pointing out he still owed them approximately 32.5 million dollars) with TV appearances, attempts to form multimedia brands and of course his: "If I Did It" book (the copyright of which, thanks to a legal challenge, belongs to the Goldman family, hence why the "If" on most every copy is tiny) none of which really helped. I'd also argue he didn't exactly lose his fame, problem for him is, he traded his fame as a athlete, actor and media personality, for fame as; "that guy who got away with murder thanks to good lawyers and the race card".
The last part when he's staring up at the statue is the most haunting and creepy scene in the whole series for me. His fame, glory, and respect were gone forever and he knew it. To me, that was worse than death. I think he broke countless hearts and helped caused the end of an age.
Despite this being an event caused by a terrible person, the heroism of Clark, Darden, Cochran, Scheck, Dershowitz, the Goldmans and the Browns is what always stays with me and enduring and inspiring.
Ty for posting the clip. The whole series was incredible, but this ending was beyond. #1: if you want to move me, play anything by Bill Withers; #2: so very respectful of the OJ's victims and all the players.
Regardless there is no excuse. But given his violent past and his career in the NFL, I wonder if OJ had CTE. I guess we'll never know. R.I.P. Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.
Especially now that he is dead and that could be physically examined, I wonder if he had CTE too! If that case had been tried today I am sure they would have used the argument of CTE
R I P Nicole Brown Simpson R I P Ronald Lyle Goldman 🥺😔 I wasn’t born yet and this happened 10 years before I was born and I watched the series and the casting did such a good job with this And good riddance OJ rest in pieces
Did you mean “reasonably intelligent, well-educated, culturally refined, and mild-mannered American citizens whom for the most part happen to be caucasian, because not everything is about race, and this trial had less to do with Rodney King, Civil Rights, or slavery, and more to do with the fact that people are dumb enough to think despite all of the evidence and logistics, OJ Simpson would not and could not commit these murders, the same way people who think Keanu Reeves is a good actor, Pauly Shore is funny, Ricki Lake is smart, and AIDs was made inside a laboratory and manufactured by the government”?
Uma mulher e seu amigo foram assassinados da maneira mais brutal possível, a ponto de a garganta da Nicole estar visivel, seu lixo, isso não tem a ver com a cor da pele, e sim com justiça. Pena pelos seus.
When you won the big game of your life, but did so all because of a bad call from the officiating which so happened to go your way! Even if O.J. got off, he knew things were never again going to be the same when much of the general public (unlike the jurors) found him guilty of what he was accused of. That while so many of his friends and admires dropped him like a bad habit once his name became mud, while his previously golden image would forever be a tarnished brand from that point onward. That and his main lawyers Robert Kardashian (who soon realized he did wrong by defending him, and rightfully cut him out of his life after the trial), and Johnny Cochran, who sold their souls to win this case for him, but ended up paying the ultimate price when karma got to them less than a decade later too!
@@spider-man120 But despite that, I gotta hand it to Johnny, and O.J. defense team, who ended up being the best offensive line he ever had in his life. That being even if Johnny clung to the delusional belief that O.J. was somehow innocent, when there's virtually no way he was. They of whom obviously did a fine job when many speculated the case was supposed to be a slam dunk for the prosecution, which them messing up also played a huge part in his acquittal. But while we're on this topic, one person from my personal life who also succumbed to cancer, which actually DID make me so happy to hear that was this fat, ugly, piece of shit, pig faced bitch lunch aid from my middle school days! She of whom had such an unpleasant, shitty demeanor who many students hated with such a strong passion! I'll never forget when she also yelled at, and nearly got me in trouble for something harmless for no reason! I'll admit that it felt great when I twice gave her the finger when she drove past me when I was in high school, even if she didn't seem to notice that unfortunately (or ignored it if she did) though. At least she truly got what was coming to her, and I'd happy chose Johnny coming back to life than her, even if O.J. was definitely 100% guilty with that being said also!
@@freakyfornashso a lawyer shouldn’t defend their client and try and get their client off? Blame the prosecution, blame the racist cop who may or may not have planted evidence which he had admitted as much in recorded interviews that he did so in the past which he didn’t need to in this case. Not too mention the rhetoric forensic team withholding evidence.
@@Maggot-ml3vz Well of course a lawyer should do so! And I can never not give Cochran all the credit in the world for quarterbacking OJ's so called "Dream Team" of attorneys who pulled off what seemed to be an impossible task at first! But in the end, it still came down to the jury, who had just enough doubt planted in their heads to think that maybe, just maybe, those brutal murders somehow weren't his doing when all was said and done.

Murderers should be in jail for life
Best television mini series ever!! this show was spot on! great casting!! FX knocked it out of the ball park!
Cubs Gooding as OJ was the epitome of miscasting!
If anything proves how well this show was casted, it's right here.
They did a fantastic job. What a great mini series.
Cuba was the only problem for me. Not big enough to be OJ.
cuba as OJ was an absolutely horrendous choice. Nowhere near as physically intimidating as OJ. Also he has this naisley high pitched child voices where as OJ had a very deep voice
@@ehhhhhhh6141 He really didn’t capture any of OJ‘s mannerisms
kardashian not speaking to OJ after the trial tells me everything i need to know about OJ’s “innocence”.
According to Kris Jenner, when Robert Kardashian was dying, OJ tried to get in touch with him. Robert didn’t take the call.
if you watch the trial, when the judge says the veredict, if you look at robert's face, it tells it all. he knew OJ did it.@@Courtneybenson907
@@Courtneybenson907damn that’s cold
@abrahamrivera6298 you know what's colder? O.J. murdering Nicole and Ron.
Honestly this series depicted everything perfectly and showed no bias towards any side.
It really stayed true to being morally gray like it wanted to be, didn’t it?
Other stories would probably try to be gray before pulling their punches with, “nah, that side sucks. This side was always right!”
They Casted TF outta this series 😮💨👌🏿
the price of oj's freedom: fame, friends and respect
Shouldn't have murdered those people, it would have saved him the headache

Very classy to remember the victims of it all at the end. So easy to forget with the media circus
There this was one of the best ending's you'll ever see.
Like Rasheed Wallace said, the ball dont lie, he ended in prison anyway
out now

Such a great production
The fact that Ito stayed on the bench for another 20 years is a joke.

This should get more views since OJ is dead.
RIP Nicole, Ron and Robert. Rot in hell, OJ Simpson.

Ain’t No Sunshine
Perfect ending
Also written about another movie where the good times turn bad…days of wine and roses 🌹
So good. Ryan Murphy is such a genius.
who‘s here after he took it to the grave?
Hoje em dia nós temos a certeza que foi em quem assassinou Ron e Nicole, é muito triste que ele foi inocentado.
He died today.
Rip oj
2024
He’s out
White American is still big mad OJ got off 😂
OJ turned his back on the Black community when he became famous and you STILL cheered the fact he murdered two innocent people.

No. The whole world is still big mad that a murderer got away with it
