In short
Part 3/4 of “The People vs O.J. Simpson” focuses on O.J. Simpson’s Dream Team defense, the trial’s racial dynamics, and key courtroom tactics around DNA/glove evidence and Mark Fuhrman’s use of the N-word.
Guests
Red Richardson, described as a fan of O.J. (and Naked Gun), who discusses O.J.’s public persona, the defense lawyers, and how race shaped jury perceptions.
Guest backgrounds
Red is a comedian/podcast personality (frequent “friend of the pod” framing); he references watching BBC/ESPN O.J. documentaries during lockdown and comments on legal strategy and media coverage.
Key claims
The defense wins by reframing everything as a racist police conspiracy centered on Mark Fuhrman; the N-word controversy is used to argue jurors can’t fairly hear the prosecution; domestic-violence arguments are undermined because the jury is largely Black women; televised trial dynamics favored O.J.’s presentation.
Notable examples
“Dream Team” lawyers (Robert Shapiro, Johnny Cochran, Carl Douglas, F. Lee Bailey, Chris Darden); Fuhrman’s recorded N-word tapes; glove “doesn’t fit” moment; DNA “one in 9.8 billion” discussion; jury composition (9 Black women, 2 white, 1 Hispanic; 10 women/2 men).

They can't believe it. This is Mount Rushmore for unemployed guys. But yeah, OJ, it's a very racially charged issue, so we thought we'd get the only black guy we know on. Who's called Red. That's the least white guy we know. It's a guy who's called Red. And we were saying that you basically look like a cross between me and Finn.
3:08That could be, yeah. So we thought we need to hear what this guy has to say about this. OJ is one of my heroes, friend of the pod. He's a friend of the pod. Your opinion of the man? Big OJ man. Naked gun was part of my childhood. Yeah. As was him killing his wife. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's huge. It was, it's weird because in lockdown, I watched the BBC doc. There was six-parter. Do you remember that? We've watched an ESPN 10-parter. Well, the BBC put out a six-parter in lockdown. For the first four, if they'd ended it there, you go, that was one of the best guys that's ever lived. You know, if he'd have been killed by a cop, in 1976 yeah it would be there'd be statues everywhere if Mark Furman had killed him can you imagine well that song has anyone seen my friend oh Jason that would be one of the lyrics yeah I mean look at him he was a great looking guy had a brilliant voice gorgeous and he stayed pretty much gorgeous he aged unbelievably well for someone who was doing that much coke and drinking that much it was amazing but he had so many iterations of him there was the world class sports star brilliant comedy actor the other bit which I usually I skip those chapters proud father and loyal husband till the end and then he was the best guy on Twitter for ages in a sea of negativity he would come out and go be nice to each other when he got out of jail do you remember that's how he said he's not the messenger we wanted he's the one we needed yeah yeah he's absolutely brilliant so we got up last episode we got up to the Bronco chase.
4:46Yeah. He's been, he was sucking on a revolver in the back of a Bronco and then everyone was like, think of your kids and they were like, don't say that, he's going to kill himself. Yeah. So he's now been arrested, he's in custody and he is forming a defence team. Yeah. They get known as the Dream Team. The Dream Team. And as you said before we start recording, they're all fucking crooks. They're amazing. Biggest scumbags. I mean, yeah, this is, it turns into GTA from here on out. It is. Every character is a cut scene in GTA. Yeah. One of them got Michael Jackson off. the year before. The pedo stuff.
5:16Off what? The pedo stuff. So I think it was... Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you saying about Michael Jackson? Yeah, we will not have this sort of slander. One of them cleared his rightful... Yeah, his innocence, basically. But then there was the other guy who was the Boston Stranglers guy, wasn't there? Right. That was one of them. Now, who is the Boston Strangler? He doesn't sound like... If you're called that, I guess you're... He strangled 13 women in the 60s. And he got him off? He got him off. No, he didn't get him off, but he defended him. Right. But I see OJ went, I need to speak. I need a load of guys who'll defend anyone who'll defend anyone yeah you know and get me off that is up we are the drink team we could have turned up you know they're on 50k a day it's pretty spicy Christ yeah yeah yeah we'd give it a go for that sort of money I also reckon we could have done the same defence yes whereas the prosecution concentrate on the blood evidence and the DNA and the domestic violence the defence basically go oh shit man hey man help a brother out I mean I could have said that you know what I mean Yeah, yeah, yeah.
6:13The guy who found the glove was Adolf Hitler. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you're not even joking. He says that. He calls him Hitler. He calls him Hitler. Yeah, well, he called Furman Hitler. We will get to it. So, OJ pleads not guilty on the charges of homicide. But I did kill my wife. We were saying, Red, in the last couple of episodes that he is a cunning man who is ultimately still thick. Yes, yes. Quite a deadly combination. We've got a lot of different combos on this show. He's a charming thicko. I mean, like a pastor or something. But then he plans. He still schemes and he's stupid. But it's so obvious.
6:50It's him in a white Bronco going on the wrong side of the road. Yeah, he's got a white car covered in red blood. Yeah. Did you cover that when they found him, he had a fake moustache? Yeah, yeah, we did. A little go-to. We were wondering if it was one of those Chinese long ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like a bonnet. So, a moustache works on a white guy. It's just going to be OJ pretending to be Mexican trying to get in. Hey, mate. Hey, Cameron. Hey, yeah, yeah. What's that, OJ? So on Time magazine, they stick his photo up, and the headline is an American tragedy. And then this is where, so he's basically been like a non-racial white guy for his entire career.
7:24Yeah, yeah. Racist has never been a part of his story. No, and then they - I'm not black, I'm OJ. Yeah, and they Photoshop him to make his skin darker. Yeah. I don't know, like, what that's saying. I guess - What's the white version of that? You just Photoshop like a Coldplay T-shirt on the guy. You can only see his eyes and it's just completely blown out. Yeah, because he's already, I don't know what they're doing. I think it's more of a dramatic picture. Yeah. It's the lighting, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. They've gotten a lot of shit for that, but that was seen as the turn of, all right, this is racial.
7:56Yeah, yeah, yeah. His lawyers just jumped on everything. Yes. So let's talk about the lawyers. You've got Robert Shapiro, who's like a Hollywood fixer, a great man. Yeah. What is it, Charlie? Is that Ben Shapiro's dad? No, no. But Ben Shapiro is cousins of Matilda, the girl who played Matilda. Yeah. do you know that what in the film yeah that's Ben Shapiro's cousin what the fuck it's really great isn't it he's always on Twitter calling him a scumbag yeah and he's like you one hit wonder cunt that's crazy it's really horrible that's fucking crazy right so Robert Shapiro has no relation to Matilda or Ben Shapiro Johnny Cochran is my favourite he is like probably the biggest black lawyer there was incredible like a celebrity lawyer so many good phrases that have come from him but he's like an actor he's like Don King is what he was.
8:41Johnny Cochran. He's the guy who hosts The Creek Blackout. The Blackout. Shout out Johnny Cochran comedy though. Give him a follow. Yeah, him and Inel Tomlinson do a kids show. That's very much not Johnny Cochran. That's where he went. He went, you know what? I'm done with this little stuff. I'm going to become an MC. So Johnny Cochran was like big civil rights lawyer. His whole career has been basically getting black guys off police brutality. But he's a civil rights but he only has one type of client which is guilty rich black guys. If you're an innocent poor black guy you go fuck yourself. So he defended Michael Jackson.
9:21But he also understands what the black community want to see from a PR perspective. They want big. So he's going around like a purple car. It's Don King. He's had his bodyguards were Nation of Islam. Black supremacists. Which I had to Google was like, what's a black supremacist? You never hear about the black supremacist. Because when he was accusing everyone of being Hitler, they went, your guy's literally saying we should kill the Jews. But he would wear, so he'd wear African print ties. Eight women walking in with him like a William special. Yeah. He had a gold microphone. Yeah, yeah. It's like doing a black gig.
9:56It's like a Bernie Mac. He's got a pictureless face on his trousers. I'm scared of you, motherfuckers. Then you've got Robert Kardashian, whose backstory we've dealt with. Robert Kardashian is the least involved as an actual lawyer. He's come on basically. He interned. He volunteered. Yeah, because he wasn't, he was semi-retired. Yes. And it was just because he was, and OJ was best man at his wedding. Yeah. So he basically thought my friend's in trouble. He had to get his license back to do it. Yeah, my friend's in trouble. I'm at least going to do what I can for a huge amount of money. But Chris, his wife, Chris, who I think he may have divorced by this point, was good friends with Nicole.
10:30She's now with Caitlin. You were saying earlier to me that Chris was cheating on Robert. Yeah. with Bruce Jenner. Yeah, she had the affair with Bruce, Caitlin, and then they were apparently in a commercial for his thighs, so he was fucking, Rob was freaking out because every day on the TV it was his wife and her new man. And it was like, she's like oiling up his thighs. It's a whole fucking, it's a whole cesspit. Push your limits, train with precision, see the results. At Equinox, that's high-performance loving.

11:34month equivalent taxes and fees extra new customer offer for initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy c terms so he's carl douglas who's like uh he's like a lawyer who's probably one of the best in the documentary we watched he's one of the most telegenic guys um who was carl douglas he's the one who worked for johnny cochran's um firm he's not the guy that sung kung fu fighting that's a different carl douglas um and then f lee bailey who you mentioned who's the white guy who had defended the boston strangler yeah and as you said they cost him 50 ,000 day to maintain this so the whole defense costs him between three and six million dollars which now must be like 30 million oh yeah but he made three million dollars in jail from signing autographs easy printed money I mean it's amazing he just said his fingers must have been no wonder he couldn't put the fucking glove on he'd be on cameo now wouldn't he hello he was on cameo I think he must have been on cameo he was on cameo that's a missed opportunity from all of us the dream was to get him on internet but he only lived like two years after jail I'd be intimidated he'd do it though he'd kill you when he died someone on Twitter said something poor OJ Simpson he died never knowing he'd killed his wife
12:48so the judge is Lance Ido who is an Asian American because I guess you've got to go let's go neutral referee I love that It's like, you never see, you never see an Asian judge in any sort of like courtroom drama or anything like that. It's the only time - But they're in LA, so they're like, right, it's Asa Akira or it's this guy. Like, who are we going to get? No, not Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's. That's not - No, but what is going on? It could have been. Could have been him. It could have been him, we don't know. This whole trial is just so racially judged. Let's get Mickey Rooney.
13:19The only place we can do this is a white guy in yellow face. So just calm us down. Yeah. I mean, they're always, they're talking about like, how we can't make this a race war in a courtroom. But from the off, it's a race war in a courtroom. They're like, right, we're going to have an Asian judge. I guess, yeah. There's been that whole thing that we covered earlier just after Rodney King, where the Korean woman in the grocery shop had just shot a black girl from behind. So then it starts kicking off between the Koreans and the blacks. In LA riots. But this is all pre-Rush Hour. Yeah. Which kind of healed those wounds.
13:48Which healed the wounds. It was kind of like sort of Mandela effect. Rush Hour is sort of peace and reconciliation. Yeah, okay. But the prosecutor is led by a woman called Marcia Clark. Yeah. who... Disaster. Yeah, it's very, very funny. She's got an awful perm, and she thinks everyone loves her, particularly African-American woman, even though they polled that they fucking hate that bitch. So basically she's seen as the ultimate Karen. She's the original Karen. Didn't she say, she said something like, no, I can really talk to African-American women. And that's like, you know, that's like three glasses of Chardonnay, and being like, don't worry, I've got this.
14:25I speak jive, sisters. It's Tarantino Whenever he does a press chunk With other blanks Yeah what y 'all saying Put some Lil' Kim on y 'all We're going chicken and waffles after this Yeah yeah yeah Turning around to a white friend It's like I got this Do you think the Karen haircut Is based off this lady? No I think it's just This is before the word Karen had come in Yeah She was a dumb white lady Who read
14:57read one Maya Angelou book and was like I get it I fucking get it this is why we got red in we need a balance on a very complicated trial she was a dumb white lady who read one Maya Angelou book we need a counterweight to our bullshit yeah stupid stupid woman idiot anyway but she didn't know who OJ is do you know that she didn't have a clue so she was completely Apparently she just listened to the doors and that was about her only thing she did apart from law. Well, a lot of white people, by this point, because this is like, what, this is 20 years after he, well, 15 years after he stopped playing football.
15:35A lot of people just think he's a film star. Yeah. Which he was. Which he was. An innocent film star. So by the end of 94, only 10 % of African-Americans believe that OJ is guilty. Yeah. And then basically all the whites believe he is guilty. Yeah. So it doesn't mean - But it's interesting because we've got a lot of identity politics now and race is a big issue now, but it felt just different then when it was literally like you're on teams. Here it's complicated and it's like, there's victims and there's - Intersectionality. Intersectionality. But here it's like, it's black team versus white team.
16:05It was a lot more cut and dry. It's tops on, tops off. Yes, there was no - Asian guy in goal. You know, like far left women going, maybe she should have died because she was taking up space, which could happen now. She was a white woman. Have you seen Naked Gun recently? I've watched it many times. It's weird because it almost makes it better. It's a bit better. And it's such a perfect film to have a guy who killed his wife in because it's so silly. So them picking the jury takes ages because they're trying to find people that aren't black or white in LA. Mickey Rooney. Mickey Rooney. I mean, again, 12 yellow face acts, 12 Mickey Roonies.
16:44And also, because it was going to go on so long, they were like they couldn't find anyone who could have that had that much time to spare which must always be a problem in big trials oh yeah it was like six months of someone's life wasn't it yeah it was like nearly a year so you're looking at the same pool of people who go to like watch pointless being recorded yeah that is it elderly people and the unemployed it's deal on no deal not Noel Edmonds a studio audience is what it was and they've got two people's lives in their hands yeah and Johnny Cochran is Noel Edmonds telling them like a story what's in the box what's in the box but what's crazy about the jurors because also you're not meant to have any contact with the outside world right no you're not meant to speak to any of the other jurors so you go back to the hotel room you don't speak to anyone yeah for a year you just go mental it's like lockdown for a year for them and they can't they can't leave their room yeah can't speak to anyone can't put the news they're all going mad yeah and so I think that's by the end of it they're all like fuck it I don't care so more of them are obviously working or lower middle class which I mean then people think this may have affected how seriously the scientific evidence was taken, which, I mean, that's quite a big leap Phoebe's put in the script.
17:53Oh yeah, it's interesting, a bit spicy from the plan. They don't believe in science, these are people who, they're low middle class, they're idiots. Therefore they're thick black magic voodoo worshippers. They don't know what DNA is, but the final makeup of the jury is nine people were black, two were white, one Hispanic guy, ten women, two men. They should all be Hispanic. They should have. If this was a fair trial. Every time he came in the room, they all just went. 10 women, 2 men which it's weirdly that's not fair on OJ to be honest but why is it black women are the nearly all of the jury ah that makes a big difference doesn't it yeah that ends up making a huge difference but what were they thinking well no it's more that they they were looking for people who were free okay in an area of LA that's very diverse right because there's a big thing about whether they do it in the Watts County Jail yeah exactly courtroom or they do it in Brentwood because bretwood's where the the crime happened it would be a huge pool of white i think they even the defense wanted to do it in watts yeah because they wanted to make sure that if they won it wasn't seen as the white because it's post rodney king is post the other yeah so both sides did want it in this area yeah so the trial begins on the 24th of january 1995 uh should we place this for our listeners 95 do you want to play this place i mean you said before after you used to host a history podcast.
19:16Yeah. Sort of. Yeah. It was a history podcast. It was great. This is a lot, lot, yeah. Do you want to name one event before 1995 and one event after so that people can see kind of what happened? What happened? So we can place this. But your old podcast was, you would go through a year. What happened in a year? One year. We basically read off Wikipedia. And that was about it. My name's Phoebe, but... So what happened? First Twin Tower attack, 1993, should we say? Oh, interesting. This is... Our fans will gobble that up. Because that's tight as well. You've cushioned it. And then Princess Diana, 97.
19:49Bust everywhere. Yeah. That's beautiful. A legion of unemployed men with neckbeards. I mean, actually, it's between the failed 9-11 attack and the real 9-11 attack. It's kind of like, yeah, it is. The first one. But the successful Diana attack. Yeah. By her driver. Or OJ. Or OJ. We don't know. He would have loved to have done that. He was free. Where was he on the night of August 31st. You find out where OJ was on the night of Diana's death. Was he in Paris? And probably was an hour of Diana saying the N-word somewhere as well. So, now the first mistake arguably the prosecution make is they see, they basically see that Johnny Cochran and his team are wearing, essentially, coming in with like African hats, African ties, hey man, and then they're like, right, we're two white people and maybe this woman isn't as popular with the black women as she thinks.
20:43so they're like we need a black guy yeah so they get this guy called Chris Darden who I think is probably one of the most interesting characters in the story actually because he's he's like the most complicated things going on he's like a ego in the show they made he's like a prodigy of Johnny Cochran yeah and he's kind of like he's trying to prove that he's better than Cochran in many ways this is his moment Kobe versus Jordan sort of thing yeah kind of yeah to use it racially what made you think of that just two successful people in their fields now they had the big thing the trial starts with is a meeting to decide whether the court and the jury could hear the uh use of the n-word this podcast similar meeting we have similar meetings every every day we have that meeting we put our head together should we use it today no okay he said we could use it he gave us the n-word point yeah hands them out i asked i asked he's called red so um basically the uh one of the key uh witnesses for the defense was the man who found the glove police officer mark firman upstanding gentleman of law yeah uh just cares about protecting the community a great man yeah friend of the pod working car friend of the pod mark firman go please somehow I don't know how Mark Furman they find some records where he has used the n-word a lot he wasn't singing along to a song yeah how many times is a lot though you can make your own mind 12 hours of recording just him saying it for 12 hours that's a lot I wonder if you could yeah how long would the super cut be if Mark Furman saying the n-word and he definitely wasn't launching a rap album.
22:32Yeah, but just do it for an hour, Mark. Yeah. 12 hours is a lot. It's egregious. Do it into a pillow. Like, don't mind you screaming it on tape. And didn't he say he hadn't said it in 10 years, which is already, it's like he was an addict. That sounds like I'm doing no N-word November.
22:50I always break. I've been clean for a decade. I can't even say homo. Otherwise, I'll wake up in an N-word alley three days later. It's a gateway. Why? Sucking a wrapper off for an N-word pasta. So the prosecution get Darden, the black guy, to be like, don't use the N-word. And then they say, like, it's too, it makes black people too angry. They won't be able to actually listen to the case. Well, he's saying this to the jury. That's one of his opening. Johnny Cochran's then like, shit. He says N-word, please. Right? Because he's just blacking it up to fuck. That's his strategy. And Cochran, they basically, see any mistake by the defense the prosecution the defense just jump jump and make a huge must have been sweating when he's when he was seeing him say it he just wanted to relapse but then cochran then implies that the prosecution lawyers are racist by implying black people can't like hear the word and not get riled up yeah um that's my opinion as well cochran's basically just chumming up the wall it's patronizing for me not to say yeah yeah um what's crazy is that the trial is like it's like match of the day yeah it's highlights on every night yeah and so what's the stat about productivity one company records a 40 billion dollar loss of productivity i don't understand that i don't know what company could that possibly where'd you get that because that's surely that's bollocks yeah who would that was the entire u.s national economy yeah that's important America is the company yeah the company is America it's not that makes sense I think one company losing 40 billion dollars what is going on how have you is that a bad day shut for six months listening to the OJ trial your nurse is just watching the trial when Boris Yeltsin meets Bill Clinton in 1995 he asked Clinton do you think OJ did it I mean it's like what does he say I wonder I think Bill Bill stuck out of it though Bill didn't get involved no he probably shagged OJ's wife at some point yeah probably But there's also, wasn't there a point where...
24:47It's a scuzzy age, isn't it? When you see all these characters. Yeah, everyone's getting sucked off or killing someone. There's blood on gloves. There's come on White House. It's sleaze. Great time to be a man. Yeah, it's brilliant. The last great time. To place this, this is the end of the good days for men. Yeah, yeah. The last hurrah. This, well, actually... Before OJ ruined it. Well, no, I mean, I guess OJ getting off is still pretty good for men. It's still all right. Still high fives all around. So the prosecution, as I say, feature on two main factors in the arguments. The fact that he did it.
25:19But you can't hold that against him. I feel that. The forensic evidence that shows he did it. Yeah. The fact there's blood, his blood everywhere. Her blood. Her blood everywhere. The dog's fur was on his jacket. I'll be like, objection, what's the relevance here? Yeah. Why are we talking about this? Objection. Yeah, yeah, yeah, excuse me. Oh, shit, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice try, Hitler. Yeah, yeah. DNA's for Nazis. What do you see Kyle? Be quicker. He doesn't get enough credit for not killing the dog, I think, because that was there, wasn't it? Yeah. A bit of fur in the glove. Yeah, that was there.
25:51So they argue the prosecution that Nicole's murder is the final act of domestic violence, which I think is what, they want to show 62 instances of it and they have witnesses for like 40 of them. Objection, what's the relevance here? Why is this relevant? This is a surprise matter, Your Honour. He's attacked her more than Mike Tyson had professional fights, really. that's insane and he's got a better record 6.62 and 0 yeah that's fucking oh god oh my god oh my god it's easy to get carried away isn't it yeah we all get excited yeah it's a great story I have a suit on you just don't feel like you can say anything the suit makes it fine yeah I feel like I'm on official business this is official business I mean this is what people in the 90s did in their toffee book oh my goodness but this is crazy because this is what's mad is that the jury is made up of mainly black women right nine of the twelve are black women but the prosecution end up having to drop the domestic violence angle because the black women are basically being like fuck it yeah stand up for yourself yeah I would have used a frying pan I would have used a frying pan yeah yeah yeah yeah if that piece of shit tried it with me exactly so they're basically victim blaming from the off yeah but then because it's being broadcast and I never understand the legality of like broadcasting a trial.
27:11Whose idea was it? You don't do that anymore, do you? Where the Johnny Depp was, that was on, he fucking killed that. But the British one wasn't because in the UK, no, UK wasn't. America, you've got to take it to the States. Yeah. Anything is television there. It wasn't about putting it. Here, we just get a caricature artist to draw you with like a big nose. Obviously in the US, it was like the glove don't fit. In the Depp trial, it was, there's poo on the bed. it's a different trial yeah yeah yeah if there's poo on the bed then she did it yeah yeah yeah it's true the shit on the bed was really what sunk her case in the end I mean that's the modern OJ isn't it because she said it was a prank yeah and I just feel is that OJ's defence as well yeah it was a prank I thought it was it was a joke knife but yeah so the public are hearing all the stuff about domestic violence so they well the white people in the public are like well he obviously did it but then black people are like, I don't know, is there some sense that black women are like more, they stand up for themselves more?
28:13So they're kind of like, they're saying it's all bullshit? I mean, fundamentally it's just black people had never had a win in the justice system where it felt like that. So they were just like, we want the win, we don't care. It's irrelevant if he gets it. It's black people against white people. Too much has happened and they go, even though this is the whitest black guy who hates black people, the most racist black guy ever, they went, we don't give a fuck this is one for and I think white people went yeah we have been a bit bad so maybe he gets yeah he was kind of the original black square token gesture from whites that did nothing eventually Neil deGrasse Tyson yeah now the physical evidence that the prosecution have is fairly definitive okay I would say let's go through it because I'm not sure no for those still on the fence and we need this needs to be relevant because otherwise I will object so So there's his blood and Nicole's blood and famously the gay waiter, Ron.
29:11Was he gay? Ron plays Runtime Goldman. Was he gay? Yes. Fuck. He's an LA waiter. I thought that was a change of view. No. What happened?
29:23Let's start again. Sorry, are you doing no homo January? Can you, is that? I'm just delusiting my ties. It's fucking killing me. Yeah. so yeah the fact that all those bloods those three people's bloods are found on the glove and the murder weapon and OJ's shoes and the footprints near the victims the probability of error is one is one in 9.8 billion objection your honour that's conjecture yeah it's true yeah and also why couldn't it be the one in 9.8 billion it's gotta be sometime it's gotta be wrong at some point he um so in the you gotta be 100 % sure yeah not 99.9 recurring in America it's all about the avoidance of doubt yes and that that one in 98.8 billion you just put doubt in my mind I'm now doubting everything one in 9.8 billion and you know so they they expect like Shapiro thought what was going to happen is everyone went OJ's done it they all thought he's done it but what we'll do is say he's fucking insane and he went nah I'm pleading not guilty and they gave him a lie detector test and apparently that six is like you didn't do you're telling the truth minus six is your you're lying.
30:33And he scored minus 22.
30:39Quadruple lying. I don't know how he... Hang on. So he's lying so much he's actually telling the truth. He thinks he's telling the truth but he's lying. Yeah, it's crazy. So the prosecution argue... And also he's like a superstar in the trial. Like he just knows how the cameras work. Like the look of the old trial because they know it's been... The something that the prosecution never got right was because it was being televised. They just... The suits of all the lawyers, the kind of branding of it. they chose where they sat they just OJ just looked great yeah the way he just he would even look at the jury he just had aura he auraed the fuck out of everyone but also when Marcia the prosecutor she changes her hair at one point and then the whole press is like eww and then she goes she crumbles because she realises well she braided her hair yeah she put seashells in it yeah we're not playing the race car even though like Bobby Shapiro's got fucking a bone through his nose at this point yeah
Read the full transcript
31:34it's not about race no um so the prosecution argue the oj drives to nicole's house kills her and run plays wrong time goldman returns to his house he then sees a limo waiting by the front he tries to enter through the back to the house which leads to the trail of blood right his security system wouldn't let him in which leads to the banging noise that his kato this random boy kato okay, then he drops the glove and returns to the front door. And the evidence of this is that there are 108 exhibits of his DNA being everywhere. That's a lot. That's a lot. Which is a lot. The thing is, it's not even a well-done murder.
32:07He fucked it. He couldn't even get back into his own house. This was a fucking disaster. he left one... That's such a funny perspective. The real tragedy is how badly this murder was committed. He didn't even do it well. It wasn't even... But he drops one glove at the murder scene, leads a trail of blood, his blood and Nicole's blood all the way to his house. Like an Easter egg hunt for a child. And then drops the other glove. That's what's so ridiculous about the glove don't fit. So many clues. It's just like there's one identical glove at his house and the murder suit. And a footprint. It's too perfect.
32:44It's as if he's been framed. It's hardly a riddle. That's true. I'm an ex-black footballer who was in Naked Gun. Who am I? He is literally murdered it like he's in the film Naked Gun. So Nicole's hair is on the glove that's in OJ's house. On the glove, they also find clothing fibres, dog furs, you said, from Nicole's dog, fibres from the Bronco that he drives. The defence... This is the greatest water battery of all time. This is phenomenal. He's a black man, and he's being targeted by a racist police force. Yeah. But I mean, the whole thing is a lesson on how you can win arguments. Yeah. And how you can just frame issues.
33:22Because when you, in the documentary or any film about this, when you see the evidence stacked up, in your head, you're like, there's just no way anyone could get off. I don't think anyone did think that. Yeah, and you just see the way they build that and you can actually understand it kind of makes sense how he got off just watching them lay it out because it becomes... Who's on trial is black people. Yeah, but the defence make it about race. But also, in this type of case in America, you can't... The fact there's no alternative killer is irrelevant. All you have to establish is a reasonable doubt that it wasn't it might not be what's amazing is they never talk about there's never an idea of like well if it wasn't him who was it who the fuck was it and also why is no one concerned about who it was no no one gives a fuck and it has to be quite high the percentage doesn't it it's because civil trial is like 52 % or something this has to be at least two in 9.8 billion yeah and it's 1.9 so it's fine imagine if he didn't do it do you mean don't need to that would be the most amazing pullback and reveal is that he didn't do it because what would happen The only way he didn't do it is someone went, I want to kill OJ's wife.
34:29What I'm going to do is go up to OJ when he's getting the burger or something and just stick a needle in it. And then go kill, then leave a track. Or just framed him or something. Nick his shoes. He deserves to go to jail for being that dumb for not noticing that was happening to him. Starting or growing your own business can be intimidating and lonely at times.

Which is not the house where it happens. They died. No, but before they get there, the defense team take down all the photos. Because he's got no photos of black people. No, it's all him with white guys. And his staircase is like an Italian restaurant that's had like a famous guy in it. Kids, remember when I met Tupac? Go find it. And they now just suddenly put all these random photos. It's like Stalin Photoshopping Lenin out of it.
37:36Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is me with Martin Luther King. This is me and Muhammad Ali. I'm calling the gang. Yeah, this is me and Bootsy Collins. Carl Douglas, the lawyer, says if it was a Mexican jury we would have hung pictures of him in a sombrero and a mariachi band out front and a piñata at the upper staircase. I mean, they're so shameless, this team. It's fucking brilliant. And didn't even say when he pulled through because when they were shouting go OJ, you know, when he's fucking driving away from the cops and apparently he said, oh, why are there so many N-words? in Brentwood or whatever, yeah.
38:05Crazy, crazy. Even then, he hates Spaggill. So the main argument the Dream Team make is that they try and paint this picture of a conspiracy by a policeman, as we've said, called Mark Fuhrer. This is where it already gets pinned on. Because when they call, I think it's Shapiro or one of the big lawyers saying, do you want to take this case? He says, yeah. And the answer is, or maybe it was fucking Dershowitz, Alan Dershowitz. Oh, yeah. Alan Dershowitz, who's like one of the greatest lawyers of all time. was on Epstein's Island, I think. He was, well, yeah, yeah, yeah. Basically, they call him about whether, I think Cochrane might have called him saying, should I take the case?
38:40And he says, there's an argument here. It's all in Furman. Look into Furman. Really? So he said, just look into Furman. That's where, you'll win the case with Furman. Well, you take one look at Furman, you go, yeah, there's the guy, there's the fucking. So he's the officer who found the glove? Yes. And he's the one, he's the one. Mark Fuhrman. So the problem is, is that Furman was this racist cop, but just happened to be there. he was basically probably trying to frame a black guy who had done it like that was the issue but they found an old lawsuit by Furman against the LA pension board where he was asking them to let him retire early because he hates black people for that it's interesting which is rare as a smoking gun it's fairly insane but there's a lot going on there because I think someone who truly hates black people they might want to keep on working working he's clearly got this like yeah he's got this really like internal fight where I'm so racist but I can't you've got to not put me in the field because I don't want after Rodney King and the backlash to that he's like well I can't I can't work anymore then if you've taken that away what's in it for me if I can't do what I love this is why I signed up it's basically I've got no self restraint you do what you love you never work a day in your life I can't have biscuits in the house yeah I can't
39:52so he admits to using excessive force while being a policeman and they spread the theory that the glove had been planted by Furman due to his hatred of black people they also then and this is a pretty amazing bit in the documentary they go really hard on the lapd for a supposed history of planting evidence which i don't i think they always clap back on they say there isn't one but when they're chatting to the asian guy who's the forensic what's his name fun they basically say they show footage news footage of him at the crime scene not not wearing a glove to pick up like blood samples i mean there's also that they put a a blanket over the body because there was loads of press outside and her head was nearly cut off and because the blanket was contaminated, they were like, well, just because it's covered in OJ's blood doesn't mean...
40:34They also took blood samples from the police station back to the crime scene and they're like, why did you do that? Did you ever do that? They're like, no, we never do that. And he's like, right, well... Yeah. They were really, really sloppy. It happens so much. So they then use this evidence that OJ's DNA has been planted. It also, his DNA had been unrefrigerated in an LAPD van for seven hours after collection. Like a dodgy kebab just been sitting there. What do you mean? if it was sitting there does it spoil and become OJ's DNA is it saying it's some other guy but if you leave it it just it'll become OJ's yeah OJ's a bit off yeah he's been left in the sun it was a white guy but they just you leave it long enough so the defence argues that a police conspiracy was enacted by prison nurse Thanos Thanos Paratus Mark prison nurse Thanos Paratus she sounds like a comic book character prison nurse Thanos Paratus that's who you want to marry a prison nurse.
41:30Let's get to the timeline of the defence paint. So they use all their experts to undermine the prosecution's theory of events. A physician testifies that OJ's arthritis means that he couldn't physically commit murder. Yeah. But then the prosecution showed a fitness video that he made the week before. He's fucking benching like 180. Yeah, yeah. He's so physical. It's a knife skills. He's holding a giant knife you know those Israeli knife skills videos yeah yeah yeah yeah and then you're like really didn't commit murder it's alright he's got arthritis he's an old man it's him slicing bread it's him butchering an animal karate choppy watermelons so the glove they find obviously contains blood and DNA from OJ Nicole and Goldman yeah but it could have been anyone's Nicole and Goldman are dead and OJ isn't And he's there and the blood's there like a cocktail.
42:31But the defense say, oh, shit, man. And then they say Furman planted the glove due to his racism and he took the glove in his own sock to OJ's house. Yeah. There's a big debate about what they do with the actual glove. And this is kind of the lasting image of the whole trial, right? So the prosecution didn't want OJ to try on the gloves in an open court. what you were meant to do right is you're meant to take the glove and OJ away to a separate room get him to try it on and then come back and say yeah it fits I think that's what legally you're meant to do but this is on TV and that's not that's not good TV it's not good TV this is kind of the most the key TV moment yeah it is but this is what I mean is that Darden decides that OJ has to do it so he he fights Marcia and he says no we should we should definitely get him to try it on in the courtroom to incriminate him himself um but the glove didn't fit him famously and he also then he really puts on a performance oh it's great he's like whoa okay i mean what oh yeah yeah so he's wearing a naked gunning it completely yeah he is he naked guns it it's the naked gun it's a naked gun defense it's so funny about it he so he's wearing a latex glove which is crazy i just like i don't know it just feels like the american legal system is just so insane he's wearing another glove underneath yeah so Get him to take the glove off.
43:54Also, the glove had been like frozen and then defrosted several times. And it's leather. And it was covered in blood. So it was obviously going to be shrinking. And then they also, there was a strategy that when they had wind, that the prosecution were going to get him to try on the glove, they were like, stop taking your arthritis medication and your hand will swell up. I mean, genius. They're genius. I mean, they knew he was guilty. They're brilliant. Of course. They're on 50 grand a day. Yeah. You know, they're earning their money. Get him off. It's amazing. But why didn't they bring up, why was the identical one of the gloves at your house?
44:28The other glove was by his back door. What does that matter, you fucking Nazi? Gloves are for Nazis. Gloves are for Nazis. Oh, it was at his house. Why don't you kill six million Jews, you piece of shit? So they then bring, so the glove doesn't fit, and then they bring Furman back to the witness stand because in the meantime, they'd found, And he'd been chatting to like an LA screenwriter. Yeah. What's the screenplay? There's so many scumbags in this. It's impossible. It's a den of rats, isn't it? It's genuinely, it is GTA, the whole story. It fucking is, yeah. There's a screenwriter there. He'd been chatting to a screenwriter about what it's like.
45:13She was obviously trying to write The New Heat or something. Right. About what it's like to be a policeman. And so. So the defence introduced these 12 hours of like recorded tapes between Furman and the screenwriter. And Furman, as he loves doing, sprays the N-word about. Uzi out the window. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the Gaddafi embassy. It's a spark off. For creative reasons, yeah. You've got to take creative license. The screenplay is called Men Against Women. Exterior, chicken shop. Mark Furman, played by Brad Pitt. falls up outside. I mean, what is kind of interesting is the screenplay was basically, it was written by a woman called Laura Hart McKinney who was trying to highlight harassment of women in the LAPD.
46:01So her attempt to do that basically got a guy who cut a woman's head off. Yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy. And Paul, his kids are there the whole time. So what age are they at this point? I don't know. Are they kids? No, OJs. So all these fucking bloodsuckers are there dressed up in African garments and there's a screenwriter trying to get a film off the ground. Their mum's been murdered in all of this. You know what I mean? But what do the kids think? Because he also has three kids that he doesn't really care about from his first marriage. Yeah, there's the weird one that I saw a doc where they were like, maybe it was him.
46:32And they basically made out because he was slightly autistic that he had like anger issues and stuff. He's the one who ran out and tried to punch someone when OJ came back in the Bronco. What do the kids think about the OJ murder? No, they still had a relationship. So Nicole's kids still had a relationship with him. I guess you're in a sticky situation because you've lost one parent and you can't then you'd lose another one yeah but why did you lose that one you shouldn't go fucking missing in Vietnam when I was killed by the dad Red we can't know no he was acquitted ultimately we can't know there's no footage we can't know I don't want to spoil it do you reckon he wakes up and just does a glove every morning before breakfast and then we go let me put my cereal gloves on yeah so Furman they then play there's then an argument as to whether they can play all these tapes in the courtroom again we have a similar argument before we start every day here shall we play the firman tapes for 12 hours before his podcast then firman firman tapes to look to study and relax to yeah yeah yeah firman beats to work yeah play it to a child and they'll be a genius headphones on firman in the sauna yeah lo-fi lo-fi firman beats so he he gets caught back to the stand and then in every question he's like you can plead the fifth which I don't think you can't do in here right pleading the fifth is an American thing and that's no comment but is it it's no comment but it's legally no comment so I plead the fifth can you just get up what the fifth actually is because like the legal it's the right to remain silent isn't it yeah is it the right to which we don't have over here right isn't it it's the right against self-incrimination which it's almost like it's yeah because you're basically saying you have a right to not incriminate yourself yeah it's so because if someone goes oh have you been cheating you go no comment you have because no is an option it's partly American's constitution.
48:18Why don't you just say no? Well, I'd be lying if I'm not going to say no. I guess it's like American constitution stuff, right? And fucking like Jefferson and stuff. They, they were cheating all the time. They were shagging their slaves. I guess it was like, let's put one in there. It's the ultimate. If I'm ever asked about anything. So you don't have to get it done for libel. You can just go, you know, I did. Cause it's such a shit talky culture. Yeah. You shouldn't be able to incriminate yourself with the wild shit you say. Yeah. It's so funny. I never get it. Yeah. You see in our crime programs, and you get the gangster and they're like, no comment.
48:48Just say no. It's so... Just lie. Yeah, lie. Because you're a gangster. But if you get found out, then that's... Yeah, but they were on trial for his murder. Whatever. I know it's Furman, it's different. But you're American, aren't you? A bit American. Yeah, half American. On what side? My mum. On the OJ side or the Furman side? What side of the divide? The Mickey Rooney. Yeah. Judge Mickey Rooney. Judge the court's now in session. So Furman pleads the fifth, which then, there's an amazing moment in a drama where they're like, are you going to plead the fifth to every question we ask? And he says, yes.
49:23But I'd plead the fifth to that. They then go away and they have a huddle. And then the prosecution are like, this is pointless because he's just going to plead the fifth. And then the judge is like, we'll have one more question. Brilliant. And then Cochran and, is it Cochran or is it F. Lee Bay? Cochran's a fucking legend, isn't he? I mean, I'd want him as my man. Yeah, 100%. 100%. It'd be so funny if I'm on trial, he plays the same race car. Yeah, you do it. as well. Hey, shit, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So they then, they do this final question where they go, did you plant or manufacture any evidence in this case?
49:55And he goes, I plead the fifth. So the jury are just like, right, well, yeah. And that's the... So you should have just said... No. No, I didn't. Say no. And in the documentary we watched, all the other LAPD officers are like, say no. Say no. Why are you pleading the fifth? But by that point, he was so cooked as like publicly, because he was basically public enemy number one. He was like a pantomime villain. Yeah. At what point? Because is it, had he been called twice? When he first came to the stand, right, they basically, I think part of what undermined everything he said is they're like, have you ever used the N word?
50:27Yeah. And he said no. Yeah. And it was 12 hours and he used the N words. And he's like, well, all right. Well, if you dig that up, then yeah. Yeah. It's like us on WhatsApp chats. Yeah. You ever said this? No, I've got your WhatsApp. Well, obviously I've said that. Yeah, obviously I have then. If you've got that, I thought that was off limits. Imagine if in 10 years they find a picture of Furman and OJ from 1973 having drinks. On Epstein's Island? Yeah. And you go, what happened was OJ went, I'm going to kill my wife at some point. I'll put you on a retainer to become a cop and say racist things.
50:57You know what I mean? In cahoots. This is the kind of stuff we need. We need to throw that out there. Sowing more confusion. so that basically then then there's this whole argument about uh there are people outside who've been watching the match the day highlights uh and it's live and they're now protesting for the uh court to release all the tapes they want to hear more of the n-word i mean the it's like our patriots they're holding big foam knives outside yeah more the fermentates are so explosive and they're so upsetting because there's so much n-word usage in them they're basically just it's like a tinder box being lit the weird thing is it starts a riot outside everyone's oj probably heard the tapes and agreed with everything he said it's the odd thing yeah what we found he's now writing true crime oh he's a radio host but that's just a radio host he's hosting talk radio of course he's hosting talk radio radio firman show can we get on it get on mark firman yeah what is it Good morning, N-Words.
51:57Is it LBC? It's got to be LBC. He just plays NWA all day, so he doesn't feel alive. Well, I'll tell you what. In the dock, his talking head, I thought he came across well now. I think he comes across as the final story. He was just a victim of the times and circumstances, wasn't he? It is council culture before it had a name. Digging up old tapes. yeah it's illegal to be a white man do you think he's got a cameo yeah am I on trial for being white yeah that's what it feels like of course he hosts talk radio of course this is the problem they can never just fuck off you know what I mean basically everyone attached to this because it's such a big media frenzy they couldn't really live any normal lives after this because they're always tainted by this Kato is now he is a byword for freeloading slob who lives in your house that's what Kato's say they'll go you know that's it's like a but it feels like every LA mansion has to have one yeah and you know he was like it feels like having a guard dog he goes I was nearly Jeff Daniels' role in Dumb and Dumber so that's how we could have gone but you need to have someone who was nearly Jeff Daniels' role in Dumb and Dumber in your garden if you have a mansion in LA that's part of the deal and that's why OJ thought he could get away with it he goes look at this thick piece of shit I can fucking kill my wife and come back covered in blood if you've made it as an actor in LA you need to have a failed scumbag actor in your garden as a way of paying back yeah But also acting is such a brutal job and it's people with the biggest egos getting rejected all the time.
53:25So you need a piece of shit, a piece of shit little gay boy living in a pool boy to make you feel better about this. He's living in a pool boy. Sorry. He might have been. We don't know who he's having sex with. Living in a pool house in order to make yourself feel better. But also he had something slam on his roof and he goes, oh, that's weird. Do you know what I mean? What have you found, Charlie? He's written a book about, it's called Murder in Brentwood. They all wrote books. Everyone wrote books about this. Well, you've got to monetise the thing. Everyone monetised it. It's the biggest news story.
53:50It's the biggest news story ever. Yeah. And everyone's trying to get money out of it. And I also just think, yeah, you just, I imagine you couldn't walk a normal job because you were on TV. Sorry, how many times is the N word used in the book, Charlie? Is it, what's it called? Oh, Bremble murdered. NWA, a white perspective. What about Mark Furman? If I said it.
54:11That's really good. Is that what it's called? If I said it. Yeah. Which I did. Yeah. This is how I would use it. Mark Furman. For 200 pages, for 12 hours, is how I would have said it. Mark Furman, if I said it. There's different ways of spelling it. Mark Furman, those N-words are crazy. 40 times in the novel. Page one. Dedicated.
54:3940 times. How was he doing that? Why don't you dedicate it to your wife, Mark? This seems a bit extreme. Page one. Yeah. I'm 10 years clean. We shouldn't be doing this in front of Red. He's on his 12-step program. Yeah. Have you got your chip? Yeah, that's the cold. Get on the bus and just turn to a black guy next to me. He looks the part as well, Furman. He looks like a piece of shit. Everyone looks in this how they should. Yeah. It makes you realise that, like, white guys having normal conservative haircuts, you look racist. It's why I've got long hair. Yeah, yeah. We've all got long-ish hair.
55:19exactly you can't have that cop haircut you look so guilty if I have a buzz cut I'm finished yeah well there's just been too many guys before yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but it also changes the context of what I said yeah of course it does yeah grow the hair a bit it just what is this it could be Greek yeah oh I dine out a lot on the fact that pretty much there's a I can pass for a lot of the world what's the furthest what's the hottest you can pass us temperature wise you're looking at you're probably looking at Iran yeah you're looking at you're looking at northern Iran northern Iran yeah I don't think we can go you know I look at the Shah of Iran and go I think I'm a bit darker than the Shah of Iran yeah yeah yeah and then South Latin America got covered yeah yeah Argentina but yeah no no more than Argentina white white white heritage yeah the Nazis we're in the era of white sort of yeah sliding slightly with, you know, confusing people with hair.
56:19Yes, exactly. Hispanic gammon is how I classify myself. Hispanic gammon. Yeah, I'm a Spanish glazed gammon in little chunks. Tapas gammon. Tapas gammon. I could pass to Latin America, Cuban, Irish, Scottish, British, obviously French. I don't have many. I've got German. You're a British man. You are. German, British, Swedish. That's all I've got really. You're a family values Tory from the 50s who turned out to be gay and killed his wife. I don't think you could even pass for like Northern. Yeah. Not Northern. Not Welsh. Not Irish. Not Cornish. Hampstead Heath is as far north as it gets with you.
56:57Your home county is just... Nothing north of Hampstead. Whereas me and Red are similar. We could... You could pass a lot. We could have a military dictatorship in some country. Yeah, you could easily be a dictator of a failed state. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Video me fleeing my palace in my pants with the uprising. Kick to death. hiding in a hole with a load of doughnuts. Gold AK-47. That should be your next tour show poster. It should be like you, like Saddam coming out of the tunnel. Oh my God. Going out with a massive beard. That's exactly the point. When you saw Saddam like that, you're like, oh, he can't be that bad.
57:32Why didn't he go out shooting Saddam? Because it's just, it's over, isn't it? What he did do is when he got hung, he did say, fuck you. It was amazing. Did he say, fuck you? He said any final words, go fuck yourself. Oh, that's sick. Yeah. This whole court's out of order. Yeah. And he stood up and he just started mouthing off. Because he's lucky because you see Gaddafi and that was no way to go. He should have fucking shot himself. That was the best I think he got bummed didn't he? The best way to go. Yeah, yeah. It's the most satisfying way any official's ever elected been out of the way. Not for him though.
57:58No. For the lads. Yeah. Unless he liked it. Maybe that was the whole thing. I've been saying this for a long time. I've been trying to get this joke on the internet that it's maybe a very long term planned kick. He became addicted because he goes I'm going to piss everyone so much off. He spends his whole life building up that much rage in the public. So he gets that one up the arse. It's like, you remember when Kevin Spacey got robbed in Hampstead Heath at four in the morning? And you go, he was out there going, oh, I hope no one assaults me. You know what I mean? That's what Gaddafi was doing.
58:32It's exactly like that. Anyway, I think you could get to probably the Mongolian steppe before I really, you know. Central, yeah. Kazakh, you know, it's there. it's in there and then obviously you go down to sort of Pakistan I mean I'm not no but Russia because it's so big it leaves the door wide open you know what I mean there's some Pakistani cricketers that are like you're quite light skinned yeah but you've got Pakistani hair like a yeah yeah they often have from the back yeah Pakistani hair from the back from the Pakistan just say that in a comedy green room Pakistani from the Pakistan that's a white line up no Finn's got Pakistani hair from the back the diversity's arrived you've embarrassed yourself you've got egg on your face anyway right on the 26th of September the prosecution and the defense make their closing arguments and we're going to deal with that in the final part of our series Red's going to stick around which I think is my favourite part to be honest the end of the story is the best of the OJ story it almost blows everything out of the water You think, I was surprised I was watching this documentary.
59:43I thought it would end at the end of the trial. It doesn't. It gets better. It gets better. You think the trial's the highlight, it's better next episode. Because everyone has such energy and goals, you know, as you find out. I think it's also, it's such a true American story because you go from so many different places and I think there's a real, we descend. It's like American Pie, the wedding. It keeps going. This is glitzy. This is glamour. It's getting seedier, the underbelly. Next time. If you think these guys are scumbags, the people you're going to meet, it's just... No one moves to Tibet and becomes a monk.
1:00:14That's the good thing. We've been in GTA Los Santos. Next time, it's Vice City. We're moving into the swamp. We'll get to Florida. Red will stick around. That episode's already on the Patreon.
