The People V. OJ Simpson, Ep. 10 Recap

By the time it came down to the closing arguments, Johnnie Cochran had received up to 20 death threats. The trial outcome had become so big, heads were praying for his downfall.

Marcia Clark’s closing statements made logical sense but was no match for Cochrans blame game on Mark Fuhrman and the LAPD. He eventually hit em with the classic “If it doesn’t fit you must acquit” and the rest is pop culture history.

To the surprise of no one, two white folks on the jury equaled two guilty votes during deliberations. Eventually they worked “The Demon” until she folded and voted not guilty.

Because of the death threats, Johnnie Cochran had Louis Farrakhan provide him security much to the comedic dismay of Robert Shapiro.

After finding out that the jury had reached a verdict in a mere four hours, Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden actually started to believe that they had won the case.

When the “Not Guilty” verdict was read, white folk were shocked beyond compare while non-white folk celebrated. It was like the end to Monday night’s (April. 4) NCAA Championship game and the white folk were the Tar Heel nation.

Christopher Darden didn’t have the nerve to face the media while Marcia Clark said she was “so ashamed.” At the press conference Darden eventually broke down in tears and into the arms of the Goldman family.

Johnnie Cochran shed a tear of his own when he saw his actions had reached the desk of President Clinton.

Marcia Clark admitted to Chris Darden that she was raped by a waiter in Italy when she was 17-years-old. Hence, her unwavering quest for vengeance for victims. Yet, like Mary J. Blige, she not gon’ cry.

Upon his release OJ was picked up by his right-hand man, Robert Kardashian. To show his gratitude for the unwavering support, OJ returned a Bible that Rob gave to him at the beginning of the ordeal.

After he was back home and it all sunk in, it was OJ’s turn to break down in tears.

 After having lived through the “trial of the century,” OJ couldn’t wait to throw the “party of the century” where he made an unexpected and unnecessary statement where he swore to track down the killers.

Robert Kardashian finally accepted the jig he’d been peeping and made sure OJ witnessed him leave the lent Bible on a coffee table during the party.
