The People vs. O.J. Simpson

Travolta seems like he's doing some kind of caricature, but not one that really resembles Robert Shapiro at all. Cuba doesn't have the right look or voice, but he's bringing the right emotions.

I don't remember Kardashian well enough to say if Schwimmer is doing an accurate portrayal, but he's making the character interesting. The whiny, kinda pathetic stuff people hated on Friends works here.

This could be said about damn near every role he's played since Vincent Vega.

 

That might just be him.

 

Maybe so. But I still think for whatever reason it is a good role for him.

 

Watched Episode 1 last night.

Travolta as Shapiro reminds me of Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi in "Ed Wood."

 

Or Vincent Barbarino.

 

Still convinced O.J. is innocent and that his son did it. He took the fall, knowing he wouldn't turn in his own son from his first marriage. Explains Bronco Chase, etc., and how gloves didn't fit. Can't remember the guy's name and I can't think to it at work, but an LA detective laid out entire case that pointed to Jason, O.J.'s son, as the killer. He had been trained in knife fighting in the Army and they even had a picture of him wearing the same knit hat that was found at the scene. Detective alleged that after the killings the son called O.J., who went to the scene of the crime, which explains his bloody footprints and the small amount of blood found in his car.

 

Or, the most logical scenario. OJ got away with murder due to an incompetent DA's office.

 

If OJ kills her 10 years later, he's found guilty faster than you can say Steven Avery.

 

DA gets a bit of a bum rap. At that time (post-riot) and after the Fuhrmann tapes surfaced, that jury wasn't convicting.

The glove was a terrible mistake. I don't think it ultimately would have mattered.

 

if you watch the special this guy did -- I think it's available on Google or YouTube -- he lays out a convincing case for Jason, not O.J., being the murderer. He was supposedly infatuated with Nicole and the whole family was supposed to go to see Jason at his new sous chef job that night, but Nicole bailed and he was pissed. He always carried his chef knives with him in his car, the same kind of knife reportedly used in the murder.

here's a link talking about the guy's book.
