Negative Positive
Title: In Hindsight...
Review: I read this book when it first came out, whenever that was. Vinnie's only convincing argument was that Cochran obfuscated the truth by setting up the jury against the LAPD, on a non-existent bias based on cops framing minorities. As far as I'm concerned, and I've always believed in OJ's guilt, all the rest of the evidence COULD have been planted by police.At the time of publication, there was no evidence that LA cops had ever framed suspects. Jurors were supposed to make this leap of faith based on their own experience with racial profiling. This is where Vinnie bashes the lawyers and jurors for making, in essence, a verdict that had nothing to do with the crime itself.But as it turns out, LAPD officers WERE planting evidence and conspiring to expedite convictions by lying and backing up their partners. Maybe Furman didn't do this, but the foundation of this book, years later, is sand.
Is the review positive or negative?
