Summary: Excellent
Comment: What an outrage....if this case intrigued you, then I suggest you read this book and read the "evidence dismissed". Well written, and fast paced, I couldn't put the book down. It really puts a cast of doubt on the justice system. And to know this man is still out there walking around free, while two people are not, is unbelievable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves true crime!

Summary: The Final Verdict
Comment: The Final Verdict
For OJ to be guilty, you must believe that he quickly disposed of the bloody clothes, shoes, and knives so they would NEVER be found, yet brought the socks and glove back to his home! And then smeared blood all over the console!
The coroner who did the autopsies testified "the forensic evidence says the murders occurred after 11PM". The limousine driver testified he brought OJ to the airport at that time. When you read this book, note how they avoid discussing these facts.

Summary: Paradoxical Polemmic
Comment: I agree with much that has been written by other reviewers at Amazon and do not want to rehearse those points here. Yes, much evidence that pointed to Simpson's guilt never made it into the courtroom and never reached the jurors. Judge Ito's rulings, prosecutorial misconduct, and LAPD's ineptitude all played a role. And yes, Simpson participated in the murders beyond any doubt.
Yet jurors entertained reasonable doubts precisely because of some of Vannatter's testimony and mishandling of evidence. This puzzle points to some paradoxes at the heart of this book.
Vannatter claimed that when the four detectives -- the usual complement for notifying a man who is not longer next of kin that his ex is dead -- invaded Simpson's estate, Simpson was not a suspect. This is paradox one. If Simpson were not a suspect by the time the four got to his place, then the four were incompetent detectives. If Simpson was a suspect, then the four precipitated a search as illegal as the one they conducted after Vannatter lied to get a search warrant. So which is it? Liar or incompetent?
In addition, Vannatter drove about LA with Simpson's blood for no good reason that he even he can conjure. You do not have to be Jackie Chiles or Johnnie Cochran to find that inexplicable road trip to be explicable in a way that helps Simpson. The second paradox to be highlighted, then, is that Vannatter dismissed himself!
In sum, this book poses a third paradox. If the reader is credulous enough to believe these Keystone Kops, the reader is credulous enough to believe Simpson's lawyers. Hmmmmmmmmm!
