O. J. IS INNOCENT AND I CAN PROVE IT by William C. Dear
According to Amazon, Mr. Dear had a book out on the same topic Nov. 14, 2000, entitled O. J. Is Innocent, But Not of Murder.
I haven't read any of the reviews yet.

1. Just read all 576 pages in two days. Fantastic read, if you were facinated

by the trial and all the mysteries about it. The problem is that most all
people have an automatic smirk when someone mentions OJ's potential innocence and are closed minded about it. The author, a renowned investigator, spent 14 years of his life, using his own money, to meticulously research the case. Without spoiling..it is a compelling read. If you are analytically inclined. |

2. I intend to read it...

I thought he was innocent and watched the whole first trial and most of the second. And I never thought that his son did it either, which is what the author of this book is saying. I thought it was a drug cartel.
There was a website that had the whole trial on it, and I can't remember the name of it. Do you know it? Something like Soloman, my mind is a blank there. In watching the trial, one of the things I caught in the 2nd trial was the testimony of a waitress who saw the family come into the restaurant, and now I can't even remember what the discrepancy was. There were other murders connected with the restaurant. The sunglasses were not "lost" I thought and were the cause of anyone going to the victim's house. I based this on the extremely short time it took to locate them between the phone calls of the parties who called about them... Trouble is, I have 14 books to read - but I will get into this one. Thank you for replying. Oh, Court TV used to have a board setup like DU for viewers to discuss the trial, and the fighting became so intense that the moderator couldn't calm everyone down. I was part, but not a leader of the groups, pro and against OJ. They had to close the board and never opened it again.... |

3. Very interesting about the sunglasses...never thought of that. This book does

bring out the fact that there were restaurants in LA that cater to
the famous and wealthy - like Mezzaluna/ They had dual purposes - restaurants and drug dealers. I actually thought it was pretty ingenious.....if you wanted some coke, say, they would up your dinner bill and deliver your coke in the dinner "doggy bag." The reason no one thought about/suspected his eldest son was because OJ had been bailing him out whenever he got in trouble and had the power and charisma to squelch it from the media. He also was pals with cops, which helped a lot. But, the book brings out all the serious mental issues Jason had/has and the criminal acts he has committed. The author just dug this up. No one at LAPD ever even interviewed Jason. Therefore, no one investigated his past. No, don't know about trial footage online. But, been thinking that I would love to watch it again. Just youtubed it....looks like just highlights. 14 books...yikes. Hope you get to read this one. PM when you do ! |
