The biggest problem reflected in this case is that racial opposition in American society is still obvious. According to the questionnaire survey before the verdict, 74% of white people think that the defendant is guilty, while 77% of black people think that he is innocent. President Clinton also expressed concern about this antagonistic attitude in criminal cases. On the second day after the verdict, he made a speech to the whole country, saying that the judicial system in the United States may be flawed, but we all respect this tradition of rule of law. Now that the jury has made this verdict, everyone should abide by it and remain calm. After the verdict, prosecutor Clark told CNN: "Although liberals don't want to admit this, it is impossible for black juries to make a fair verdict in such cases." This remark caused an uproar in the media.
the function of money
Simpson spent nearly $1, in the criminal trial. He hired the most talented lawyers, the most famous forensic experts and even scientists. These latter experts may not be interested in favoring the defendant, but express their professional knowledge and experience. In their testimony, they said that there may be another person's footprints at the scene, and DNA blood identification may not be 1% accurate. The United States is a society with a developed commodity economy, and many things, including a person's success or failure, are almost judged by money. Just like the election campaign in American politics, it is an indisputable fact that money plays an indirect role. The American media is outspoken about this. Because Simpson hired the most talented and famous lawyer at a high price. They used all their wisdom and experience to challenge the prosecution again and again, making the case complicated and protracted and making the jury doubt the reliability of the evidence obtained. In order to balance the cost paid by the defendant, the prosecution also sent a strong lineup and used various means to find evidence and arrange witnesses to appear in court, which also cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Clark, a female lawyer who is the main defense lawyer for the prosecution, became famous in this case. Shortly after the verdict, she wrote a documentary bestseller and received about $2 million in royalties. In a market economy, money can really affect the outcome of things to a certain extent.
