Have you been watching the miniseries? I found it entertaining, and there's very little on TV that holds my interest. Some observations:
Marcia Clark had never heard of OJ before. She didn't follow football at all.
The first visit by the LA cops to Simpson's mansion after the murders was sloppy for many reasons. It was relatively casual. These particularl cops actually had a good relationship with OJ, despite having been called out there in the past when he assaulted his wife, Nicole. They hung out with him, played golf with him, knew the area. Far from being LA cops out to get a black guy, they did everything they could to give him the benefit of the doubt. They handcuffed him, briefly, but treated him gently. They didn't rope off the crime scene. After the murders, OJ and his cronies were all gathered in his living room, planning what to do. Kardashian (John Travolta) was there. So was Kato Kaelin. Marcia Clark had been called in to the Police and asked angrily, "What are they doing sitting on a crime scene. They going all over the place corrupting evidence."
There's a scene where Chris Darden admits to Johnny Cochrane that he hates working in the DA's office and wants to leave. Cochrane congratules him and says the country needs some standup black men to change things. He and Darden discuss, and Darden remains a straight arrow, while Cochrane is obviously a partisan firebrand who will do anything. You have to choose sides, he tells Darden. Darden tells Cochrane, I've always seen you as a mentor.
When the police and lawyers (Clark, at least) look at the crime scene photos, they're shocked. They comment on on the brutality, say it looks like the killer was in a frenzy, and how Nicole was nearly decapitated.
Back at the house, OJ is alone in his study, writing his will and letters to his kids and mother.
