Just found this thread and see that it has left iPlayer

Remember watching the bbc coverage of the trials with my Dad and would have been interested in this.

Assume it won't reappear and will no go to Netflix/Amazon or somewhere?

It's been on Netflix for sometime...

No, The people v oj Simpson is on Netflix. The programme on iplayer is something different.

Oops..sorry.

[dom9]

So, nowhere at the moment?

It's been taken off iPlayer and is going to be shown on BT Sport in the next week or so.

Brilliant set of programmes - anyone who can watch them and not think OJ did it must have watched something different to me!

Just watch the usually eloquent Barry Scheck, one of the world's leading experts on DNA who pointed out the flaws in the LAPD's processes in order to get OJ off, stutter and stumble when asked whether he thinks OJ was guilty. That in itself is enough to convince me he did it! On top of that, you have a mountain of evidence against OJ and even his agent telling us that OJ basically admitted it to him!

Something along the lines of,

"If she hadn't opened the door with a knife, she'd still be alive".

I'm not sure what happens is every lawyer refuses to represent you ?

The court will assign your case to a lawyer who doesn't have the right to refuse to take it...... how hard he works on it is a different matter though!

Can the defendant claim foul play if he suspects he is not being given a fair crack of the whip?

Of course, that is basically what the appeals process is about. Not sure what the procedure is if the defendant isn't happy with their lawyer during the trial though, I guess they can dismiss them if they have reasonable grounds?

It wasn't a BBC-made documentary - it was made by an American doc maker so it should be available for purchase/streaming somewhere soon. Just noticed it has 98% on Rotten Tomatoes - that is fairly impressive.

If you have a Kodi box you can find it on UkTurk's feed.

Repeat on at 9pm BBC4 for those yet to see it.

Long but stick with it. Amazing television.

Fascinating - never knew half of what went on

[dom9]

Stuck in Houston on business - Will this be on iPlayer when I get home, this weekend, now it has been re-shown?

Goes to show how narrow our U.K. Education is
Henry 8th
WW2 (Germany UK only)
The Renaissance (if you do A level history)

Actually we miss out on so much of UK history let alone the key parts of history in other parts of he world.

Yep, the number one reason for appeal - ineffective assistance of counsel.

Defendant can also ask for a different lawyer to be assigned but given most lawyers fight to not be in the room when pro-bono cases are handed out I doubt the judge would be too receptive!

College sport is strange in America. 100,000 people watching a college football game, making celebrities of students etc.

I had no idea how big he was before he even left school. Purely supposition on my part but it can only lead to narcissism and other personality disorders.

I've watched some of the other Storyville programmes on iPlayer.

Some brilliant TV there. Excellent series.

Especially the Kasparov/Big Blue, James Randi and Pink Panther episodes.

Highly recommended.

Yeh, i've watch quite a few nearly all of the storyvilles! - some great ones! Some of them are standalone docs just branded as Storyville for the BBC, like the last days in Vietnam one... theres a ton of good ones! the North Korea film directors one is good!

They choose them well generally. I have watched a bunch of them.

Queen of Versailles is quite a good one when it comes back round.

The killer would have been covered in blood. There wasn't a sign that OJ had cleaned himself up. That suggests he was a very careful, calculating and meticulous murderer if he did it.
The Las Vegas incident suggests he's careless and clumsy.
I struggle to link the two scenarios to the same person.

the link is his son may have helped or done it and OJ covered up for it.

it is clear he had something to do with the murder, his foot prints were there.
