What went wrong with the OJ case
So many times we have seen a guilty man walk free because of something going wrong during the prosecution. But many of the cases that are lost to injustice is because of the jury and because of the lack of evidence. But for this case there was lots of things that lead to OJ going free. First the jury was one biggest problems that affected the case. Like we heard in the documentary "a case can be won before it begins, with the jury." And that's what the defense did they didn't instantly win but the odds were in their favor before the trail began. Then there were the simple mistakes that the prosecution made like not presenting the evidence clear enough for the jury to understand and they gave lots of facts and evidence that the jury had no idea what it meant. So they confused the jury and most of the evidence was just a waste of time because of the prosecution not explaining their evidence clearly. Then there OJ's defense that was the "dream team" and they played a big part of not only setting OJ free but also of winning a case for the black community. OJ's team of lawyers were so good at their job and they were so determined that they were able to make clear evidence of OJ basically committing murder to making it look like the police set him up. So there were many big parts that were played in this case but the three biggest ones for me were the jury and their lack of knowledge about the evidence, the prosecution for not being clear enough while presenting their evidence and finally OJ's defense for making OJ look innocent and making it look like it was a set up of the LAPD.

What I feel that went wrong is the prosecution everything they did the defense had a way to counteract. Which in the end caused the jury verdict as not guilty. The prosecution had no idea of what they were doing.
