People realize this is where Family Guy got the Inspiration for Consuela
No, no !
Lol 😂
Mr OJ noo here!
I like how Christopher Darden outright caught Ms. Lopez lying a couple of times and the media and court completely glossed over it!
Park saw her walking the dog.He also saw the strange car parked to his left.The occupants made the noise Kato heard.Another group was watching Ron.
ms lopez heard scuffles at OJ mansion the day kato and OJ went to mcdonalds and she heard two men arguing in the yard of Simpson when Oj left to chicago.
@@philipwilliams1754oh yeah it was the Colombian drug dealers that Johnnie alluded to 😂
The prosecution fell for this, hook, line, and sinker. The defense was never going to make such an unreliable witness central to their case. This was simply a way for them to completely disrupt the prosecution’s case and they delayed it by at least a week. That also gave them more time to find the Fuhrman tapes and as an added bonus, because of the prosecution’s request for the examinations to be on tape, it essentially gave the defense a trial run of Lopez’s testimony, to see if it would actually hold up after cross examination. Because of that they were able to throw the whole thing out, and the sanctions were irrelevant as well because they never called Lopez. The only outcome achieved was the delay.
The defense team is in total control here
I think it’s funny she needs a translator…when she answers MULTIPLE questions before translations
To be fair the translator is probably there incase she can't understand something. This isn't casual conversation and English isn't her first language so I'm sure they want to make sure she understands the questions. Articles I've read said Lopez speaks some English, but wasn't fluent in it.
Most do that in my life experience & professional experience.
My Mexican wife is like that.
I remember when Chris Darden busted out Rosa Lopez on her lies!! That was great!
Darden wanted to make a point that Simpson was a control freak!
Well yeah
When your wife's a cocaine addict that brings drug dealers and prostitutes into the house, with 2 minor children on the property
Ya have to wake up to realize that your wife is a freak
How was this not a mistrial
Good question
Esp after the racist Mark Fuhrman debacle. I agree!
I think Mrs. Lopez was lying. I also feel the defense knew how to manipulate the prosecution. They knew how to get them to react and then play innocent. The defense played the prosecution like a fiddle
I think you just don’t like hearing evidence that does not support your preconceived ideas.
You THINK she was lying?? It was OBVIOUS she was lying. It was PROVEN she was lying.
@@KanyeBreast4 Allan Park saw her walking her dog.
It was all about playing the Race Card from day one!! He was full with Jealous Rage when he finally realized she was totally done with his Narcissist Controlling Ego! That was a Rage Slaughter, who else in her life had that much hate and rage against her! The truth be known, he probably had Brain Damage from playing Football!
The worst jury for the prosecution, but the best jury for the defense.
That jury could have had OJ on video killing them and they still would have found him not guilty. In the new doc OJ made in America they interview several jurors and one of them straight up says they found him not guilty as payback for Rodney King's police officers getting off.
Marcia is a great lawyer and a very strong woman!😊
Mrs.Lopez was OVER IT okay lol
She was a mood
Facts
Corrupt
She was run out of town. Especially since her story was not on narrative.
@@Sinncere06 No, she was "run out of town" because she blatantly lied multiple times on the stand and she is lucky they didn't charger her with perjury. She deserved it.
33:25 completely inappropriate for a judge to make light of this witness signaling
typical of Ito.
It's so the court reporter could type into words what Chris is doing with his hands. It's not Ito's fault that the courtroom laughed.
@@optimisticcosmiche absolutely should have controlled the courtroom’s reaction. He was unprofessional for sure.
Right. it's a murder trial for crying out loud
21:41 maybe if you told the truth Rosa, you'd be able to eat/sleep better! That conscience is keeping you up, 'dear'
Why was Lopez even questioned when she had demonstrated she was a chronic liar?
Worst than Furhman ???
She told the news paper's that morning everything she testified to,there's a video of her talking to the news.She told Furhman the same that morning.
Send her back to El Salvador
The defense was never going to use her as an alibi, they knew how unreliable she would sound. Here, they essentially got a test run without the jury and created an artificial delay in the case giving them more time to find the Fuhrman tapes.
@@goldenstatewarriors9418 Allan Park testified after entering Rockingham he saw a lady walking a dog.He also testified while leaving he saw a car to his left,was not there when he arrived.The occupants of that car made the noise Kato heard.They were the assailants.
They allowed flowers to be delivered to the courtroom for one of the witnesses?? What is going on? This is a s**t show.
Judge Ito was biased in favor of the defense.
Ito is married to an LAPD Captain, Margaret York. It was highly inappropriate for the legal system to allow such a person with such an obvious appearance of a conflict of interest to preside over this case.
But continue believing your delusions. Anyhow, the verdict still stands: NOT GUILTY!!! Get over it.
@@P4DR lol, quit riding OJ’s cock.
@@P4DRbut found GUILTY in civil case
Rosa heard “Charlie” pull up at 9:45, and OJ talking. 💅🏽
Bet your ass
Correct.
That was OJ talking to Kato.
Obviously they paid lopez
She speaks with the reporter in English but in the court in Spanish
What does that say?
Spanish is probably her native language and the language she is most comfortable speaking. In court, they don't want there to be miscommunication due to language barrier. Everyday / social conversation and court specific terminology is very different ; especially for a non native English speaker.
@@memyselfi1828she speaks English Well. It’s an act to not be Deported
Court of law is not a place you’d want to slip up.
It says she's not comfortable with legal English, nothing more.
@@memyselfi1828 if your native language is not English the government has to provide a translator for you if requested to be sure youre being understood and understanding the proceedings. she's good at English but likely doesnt know all the legal terms or things like that so its easier to just have someone to help her
See, no. They should’ve done the jurors 50/50 on race.. and sex. Now that would’ve been FAIR.
3 black men, 3 black women, 3 women white women, and 3 white men.
is that how all normal cases are done? Is that how the civil trail was done for OJ?
@@TheInterestedObserverno…she said that’s how they should be done to be fair.
@@pommiebears but how is that fair? There are not only black and white people in America. Also not all black people harbour the same worldview in one monolith of thought. They are not all democrats sympathetic to the ghetto and impartial as soon as a defendant has the same skin hue as them. I know plenty of Trump supporters that happen to be black. Not all black people liked OJ or thought he was innocent either. So the white/black dynamic is not going to work here and as i stated before was not done in the civil case where the demographic went completely the other way.
Gotta remember, prosecution approved the jurors too
Defense was happy because most of the jurors were black
Prosecution were satisfied because most of the jurors were women...
@@darrenharris3434 defense wanted specifically black women with no more than high school degree. There's a video about it
Can we all just get along? And thats not a joke. RIP OJ, also to Nicole and Goldman. Condolences to their families. His kids and his family, my condolences. Those kids and OJs immediate family didnt have anything to do with the whole situation.
24:19 I would never wear a strangers glasses
why
o wow! he really was giving her ques with his objections... and the judge overruled! lol gr8 piece of lawyering,! if their going to let u get away with it, keep pushing it until the judge says anything...
This entire trial was a circus but the defense played it brilliantly. Johnny mopped the floor with the prosecution team.
She was Threatened!! That's why she wanted to get out!! She was running scared!!
Threatened by who? Oh please.
Can't read past like 10 comments....DUDE KILLED 2 PEOPLE!!!
OJ killed no one,the assailants followed Ron to the murder scene.Rons girlfriend Andrea Scott car and Keys were found at the murder scene,Ron died with her Keys in his hands.Scotts car was not searched,she gave no statements,she testified in no trials.
I remember watching the whole trial 💯
I watched it every day after school.
No one watched this whole trial. Not even the jury and lawyers that were present.
@@blakswizzy ok Karen
@@blakswizzy if you had watched any of it you would know that much of the time was spent arguing amongst lawyers.. without the jury even present
I was 10 and upset that I couldn’t watch my show California dreams. This was on tv every single day. I couldn’t wait for it to be over
This trial was just totally brutal chaos.
Loved it.
Full of lies
It was. I was in grade school and was throughly immersed and it was just all so chaotic
If you call this chaos just wait till you see Diddys trial
Yea because they Framed yet another innocent Black man
Prosecution allows testimony of Rosa Lopez but not Jill Shivley.
Why did court tv just replay her saying can’t remember but they interviewed a man that repeatedly used the 5th amendment crap .,
Nicole was less than 2 miles away. Please stop. And Lopez was a liar. Did she ever leave the USA by the way?
Yes she did she is still there to this day
Everyone on that dream team knew o j was guilty
Maybe, but the cops didn't get him the right way and that's why OJ got off.
It doesn't matter what they think.There job is to defend him period.They don't ask him if he's guilty or not. No defense attorney asks their client that question they just don't, their job is to defend that's it
@@paulajay473
A domestic violence trial isn't a murder charge
To begin, eight calls were made from Rockingham
We don't know of any phone records to indicate that they were only made by Nicole Brown
Let's not assume that Denise Brown"s testimony was to avoid a contempt charge
Not much is known about Nicole Brown or her actions
Nothing is known about Ronald Goldman .
So yeah, domestic violence isn't murder
It's as simple as that !
Of course they did. They saw it as a job to do. A chance to make alot of money, and revel in the limelight.
@@KevinShaughnessy-lf3vs OJ was not on trial for spousal abuse.Charged with two counts of premeditated murder.
the prosecution really was sensitive but I get it.... they were outmatched and felt like they needed to prove themselves... there literally answered every little jab the defense threw.... where I wouldn't even have remembered what the defense said but the the prosecution gets up there and answers for another 5 min smh
Judge Lance ITO Tommy lee Harrison correctional officer .
Bachelor's degree trimaco Judge Lance ITO. Patricia lyunchburg
It’s not about you, Rosa!
So she claims she saw OJ's Bronco parked outside at night but when she takes the stand she needs glasses to see the computer monitor 1 foot away. LOL still cannot believe Ito allowed her in. Waist of time and tax payers money.
The evidence was planted & contaminated
It doesn't matter !
why would they hire a prosecutor that has small children knowing that the days will be long and drawn out with a case like this? Thats on the state and I think OJ was guilty AF
I can’t get over how Ito played favourites with the Defence. The guy was not fit to do this trial
17:05: "Judge holds off on his decision to sanction the defense." I swear Judge Ito is part of the defense.
34:53 This man has the audacity to show his face and expect people to listen. What a fraud.
Mark Furhman lied. Rosa Lopez lied. Chris Darden was too emotional.
Rosa Lopez did not lie,Park verified her story.
@@philipwilliams1754 She lied on the witness stand and Darden even caught her multiple times. She lost all credibility just by lying about the plane ticket and the unemployment insurance form.
@@bergencounty6602those kind of women are not educated and would lie for any amount of money.
Fuhrman lied about what? And how does that make the discovery of OJs blood on the bodies of the victims less relevant?
Rosa...oh Rosa.
I'm Sorry BUT Chris Darden is Being Petty AND Not Sticking to The Facts And Now I See WHY They Lost The Case, His Pettiness is getting in The Way...
Spoke good enough English with the private investigator. Lopez is very pompous and when Judge Ito saw her make a mockery of seriousness of being a witness in a U.S. court should have turned her over to immigration naturalization services (INS)
The prosecution is wildly ineffective!
My Mom was not only the Court Clerk but the Supervisor too. Her office used to call Me for updates. Especially when the verdict came. I was the one who informed the Paterson Courthouse. Paterson New Jersey 💯
What was her opinion on OJs innocence or guilt if I may ask?
@@chocolatetownforever7537 She believes OJ was framed.Also Park saw a lady walking a dog when he arrived on Rockingham,that would be Rosa.This is why they kept on so long,to prove her a liar.
@@chocolatetownforever7537 Park said he arrived at Rockingham approx,10.25.
You want a cookie!????
@@bgesjackson2011 I think she wants a medal
being dead is also a decent alibi.
"my client didnt kill her, he was dead already"
😂😂😂
She lies
18:10 This woman knew what the task was so to pretend that childcare was all of a sudden an issue is ridiculously poor form.
Ms Lopez was the perfect witness to get the prosecution stuck on her, because of their timeline of 10:15pm this was brilliant by the defense attorneys; and the prosecution fell for it. Ms Lopez was a critical witness as to meeting Mark Fuhrman and then a tape recording of her giving a statement that the defense attorneys didn't disclosed on purpose, that had no absolute purpose other then to buy time for the defense team to find those Fuhrman tapes. The prosecution team wasted all that time on a witness who never testified in front of the jury. Ms Lopez was totally irrelevant to this case other then to slow down their fast forward approach by the prosecution, the defense team bought plenty of time and changed the entire trial with just one witness. This witness should have been done in two hours not a week. Unbelievable that the prosecution team didn't see this decoy. Darden was definitely the wrong person to cross examine Ms Lopez and the defense team knew it and this would prove to be his downfall in this case, he's become like a little child now complaining about everything that the defense team was doing. Ms Clark from the start fell into the trap and now they got Darden. Case over.......
@@christianWilliams-pc4jn the judges rulings is based on the laws and rules of discovery. Not the personal issues that Ms Clark was dealing with. Ms Clark's family court problems wasn't going to be sympathetic to Judge Ito .Ms Clark should have never been chosen to lead that case.
@@christianWilliams-pc4jng
I feel bad for her. She was a pawn like many others
Lmao you’re right, they wasted so much time on this witness who never sat in front of the jury, which not only broke their momentum, but allowed the defense to “catch up” in their discovery. The biggest of which was the Fuhrman tapes.
@@goldenstatewarriors9418 Almost 30 years later and this case hasn't lost a thing.
after I , will eventually might come by?
nichole beat maid, hit maid, battery she started it and was primary aggressor at
Over thier heads?
You’ve never hit anyone? Lol. Of course you have.
Was this an attempt at English? 🤦♂️
Yes victim blaming is the way to go here. We should focus on minuscule things that occurred years and years prior to O.J. Cutting her head practically off… 🤡
Michelle was the maid who was OJs minion, remember she ran to Nicole after OJ beat her and aggressively tried ripping her out of the cops car telling her to get back inside and only stopping when the cop threatened to arrest her. she also tried to get rid of the cops by lying and saying Nicole was fine when she was actually scared for her life and badly beaten. the maid covered for OJs abuse on her and she took his side. Nicole had no safe space in that home and remember also that OJ is rumored to have slept with the maid that same night which started the fight. so we know Nicole smacked her but we dont know why.
Maybe she dud see the Bronco at 10, OJ might have had a Hertz rental, I've seen him do that on TV.
Another goofy
Or she didn’t actually know the times and was a habitual liar… The latter clearly demonstrated
The bodie's were found past midnight,Nicole was alive.Go watch the pre lim hearing.
@@philipwilliams1754 the bodies were discovered at midnight cops came 1220. the dog walked through her blood out to the street acting dismayed before the neighbor found him which was around 1040-1050, so she was already dead before then at least
Badgering a cleaning lady who doesn't speak english..now u know why he lost the case
She can speak english on the KABC TV but not in the court
Why jugde find him not guilty ,weird
Jugde making easier for defence
Why prosecutor was removed?
One aspect of the OJ Simpson case that's fascinating is how whenever a motion went the prosecution's way, it still worked in the defense's favor.
The Lopez testimony is just one example of this. The prosecution wanted Lopez's testimony to be treated as a conditional statement, pursuant to Penal Code section 1335. (17:17) Judge Ito granted the request. Because of this grant, the defense got the opportunity to see how Lopez's testimony will play out before presenting it to the jury. Realizing that it would be damaging to Simpson's defense, they chose not to present Lopez as a witness.
If the prosecution hadn't made the motion that it did, the defense wouldn't have been able to prevent Lopez's damaging testimony from being heard by the jury.
The most significant instance of this backfiring phenomenon was with the bloody glove found on Simpson's property. The defense thought from the beginning that the glove was planted by Mark Fuhrman. They tried to have it thrown out of evidence as the product of an unlawful search. The prosecution opposed this motion. Ultimately, the prosecution got its way and glove stayed in evidence.
If the prosecution hadn't opposed the motion and the glove was thrown out, there would have been no occasion to question Mark Fuhrman. As a result, the race issues, which became the focus of the case after the tapes of Mark Fuhrman came to light, wouldn't have been aired at all. Also, there wouldn't have been that infamous moment when OJ tried on the glove and pretended it didn't fit. Johnnie Cochran wouldn't have had the opportunity to say, "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit."
The prosecution won so many battles in this case. Because they did, they lost the war...
How did he know she needed glasses
After all this time, and all these years and documentaries and shows and books... the person I feel sorriest for is the dog. The dog is the ONLY witness who really knows what actually happened. To see its mom being slaughtered while not being able to protect her must have been horrifying for the doggo.
Don’t these witnesses know they don’t have to participate in court proceedings if their wellbeing is being violated, compromised, dangered?.?.? The court can’t force you to testify no matter what…
Rosa Lopez was stressed because she lied
“Ms Lopez, it seems there’s a lot you don’t know/remember. How is it that you know for certain you saw the white bronco parked there at the time of 9-11pm?”
“I don’t know/remember.”
“No further questions.”
She was probably paid off! Came into a deal of money now she can go back home and live comfortably. Makes sense!
She already had a house in El Salvador .Her son passed away and gave her his house and she coulld get a houesekeeping job in El Salvador.She lived a hard life I dont know why she lied .She wasnt paid off,the defence isnt that stupid but I think she just wanted attention I some what feel sorry for her but she should never have lied
@@paulajay473 I don't think that she was seeking attention. My observation is that it's the opposite. I don't think that she was paid off either. However. I sense that she knew more than what she's telling. I've for sometime, believed that Simpson's maid's family retaliated after Nicole slapped her face. And it's possible that Lopez knew what happened. Last. If Simpson was driving the Bronco. No way that he wouldn't be heard. Those trucks were loud. And I've been on that street. It's quiet even during the daytime. Now imagine at nighttime. The chauffeur couldn't hear that Bronco pulling up. Impossible.
23:42 no
no
She can speak English it very goid
It’s a circus.
What Courts TV edit did at 39:20 was shameful
The Narcissistic Thug did it! He has never showed any remorse for a Wife that was Brutal Murdered!!
Bailey looked like acqashed up lawyer there too
12:20 how was this “witness” allowed to testify in court? 🤣 it’s utterly ridiculous, she clearly stated “they came back at 9 o’clock” could it have been 9:30? “Yes, 9:30, 9:30” maybe 9:45? “Yes 9:45 on the dot” 🤦🏼♂️. Talk about leading the witness, and this was their alibi? Gtfoh, that was disgusting. This woman is disgusting. That’s a 45 minute discrepancy that with the original statement allows time for the crime but after being coached now there is no time. What a joke. 🤣. This trial was a farce!
NOT GUILTY!
And O.J. still lives rent free in your mind! 😂😂😂 After all these years.
Agreed! They were 100% leading the witness, and its shocking that the judge allowed it! How the verdict came back as Not Guilty I will NEVER know
Rosa Lo! Was tryna get Low! 😂
That Judge was a Disaster!! What a Joke! That Glove joke, any Leather gloves that is soaked in blood or water will shrink after they dry!! He took a shower with the gloves on to wash off all the blood! He was Guilty of 2 slaughtered people! Got by with it!
Cockran how much you paid L'operazione for false testimony?
He was Guilty! That was a Rage Slaughter!! Who else had that much Rage against her!! His Crazy Narcissistic Ego couldn't handle the fact that she was finally done with the Dangerous Thug. If he didn't do it! He paid someone to do it! It wasn't a Robbery, who else had that kind of rage for her!!
He didn't do it
Nicole was sleeping with all of Ca.
They definitely paid the housekeeper off
Lopez wasn't a witness to the murders
Simpson doesn't have to prove where he was!
The defense has to prove where he wasn't
Nah
Definitely huh? 😂😂😂😂😂
They did what all lawyers should,busted their ass for their client.Cheat if you must,but always win
Poor Rosa Lopez. She's feeling afraid , probably of oj Simpson, they probably felt her feel threatened .
Did you even watch this? It was Nicole who she hated for slapping one of her friends across the face. Yes, that Nicole seems to be also engaging in criminal violence. Keep up.
@@TheInterestedObserver yeah I watched it. Did U watch it. ? Why would she be scared of Nicole who is dead? That doesn't make sense. She's upset and afraid and doesn't want to be there ... If it was about her hating Nicole then she'd be happy to be there to testify on behalf of oj Simpson
@@bettywillbrowse She probably knows of the drug people Nicole, Faye and Ron were mixed up with and wanted to get out of town before any more people connected to that restaurant and the Goldman's got killed.
she had good reason to fear oj, he was a murderer.
@@MissPerriwinkle Fear OJ why. Her testimony helps OJ.
You people think its about guilt or innocence.... Yr wrong, yr thoughts are comical. Its all about reasonable doubt. No good defense attorney is worried about proving yr innocence. Just a little doubt! That's why Im free now 😘
The witness seems to speak English quite well when convenient.
Don’t they all pull this sh*t
why are your other videos comments shut off? please opne them
Marcia Clark was a terrible lawyer
I thought she worked for him
The problem with Marcia Clarke is her timeline.
Lopez was the heart of their opening and for the prosecution to not bring that testimony in was just another stupid mistake. How she got away with all that lying and falsifying documents is beyond me.
The police took the theory of the sister of the ex and instead failed to just follow the evidence.
Mark fuhrmann in the video is embarrassing
Mr Johnny said I come today tomorrow I fly
WTF...12:13 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So the defense lied to the court about the recordings. Terribly unethical, and they’re awful attorneys. I’m glad the judge sanctioned the defense attorneys. Prob only good decision he made.
so what her fault. 80% of divorces are filed by females. The world doesn’t owe you or me understanding. She’s an adult and has to deal with her ramifications that come with being a single mother.
The defense is laughing when darden is questioning mrs lopez
O.J. Can finally rest easy knowing his x-wife and Ron Goldman’s killer is dead
I thinnk that the fighting between the lawyers is why they lost the case. And she should of let her ex take care of ghe kids during this trial.
Its what was best for them.
