41. Yes, O.J. went to trial.
And he was found not guilty.

That he went to trial is not mean that he was more likely to have done compared to the lacrosse players.

The people who still claim that O.J. did it aren't any different than people who still maintain that the lacrosse players did it.

Being found not guilty, or having the charges dropped, is not proof that O.J. didn't kill Nicole, or proof that the lacrosse players didn't rape that woman. It just shows there's insufficient evidence to prove their guilt.
