My company has always done a lot of business with Turner Broadcasting, and back in 1995 I knew one of the Vice Presidents in charge of programming for CNN (he has since retired).
If you remember, CNN spent half of their programming day during that year analyzing, broadcasting, and investigating the OJ case.
I happened to have lunch with this guy during the trial, and I asked him what he thought about it. He said that CNN had uncovered quite a bit of information that they were not disclosing to the public. Then he told me some things that I had never heard before and have not heard since then.
He said CNN's investigation had turned up evidence that OJ had been involved with the selling/buying of illegal drugs and he had some kind of dispute with some Latin crime group over this. Maybe he had been dealing drugs. Maybe he was an addict. It sounded like something of that nature. He did not get any more specific than that.
He said some of their evidence pointed to the 2 murders being committed to frame OJ as revenge by this group. He said this was a somewhat common revenge tactic by these types of groups -- instead of killing you, they kill someone close to you in a way that frames you. Sounds like something out of the movie "The Fugitive".
He went on to say that it would have been done in such away so that OJ was involved and could not disclose the truth without incriminating himself. So he was forced to lie about it and try to fight the charge. From what he told me, it sounded like OJ was definately present when the murders took place, and perhaps even participated, but not by choice.
Anyway, I found that all rather interesting at the time. Whether or not he's guilty I have no idea. But this theory would explain some of the problems with the prosecution's case. I think it's obvious to anyone who has examined the case that he was caught up in it somehow. There's just too much incriminating evidence.
