I know nothing about the OJ trail so I really can't speak on it but I am glade that now he is in jail for his wrong doings and he didnt get away with it. Like I mentioned earlier I think the only reason why this went so big is because at first it wasn't even going to be a trail. They were trying to sweep it under the rug like nothing ever happened. They wasn't really communicating with his parents and would really give them information. This was try and has been stated even by Zimmerman layer. I think they felt like getting the story out would give them the opportunity to have a trial and it did.
