OJ was guilty .Everyone knows he was guilty . He was acquitted giving us an early indication of the future of law enforcement in this country that we see today. TV trials brings out the worse in the system. Race and a corrupt law enforcement system were complicit in his exoneration.

Very true, but justice caught up with him eventually in the robbery conviction. It all illustrates that fame and big money are both dangerous. They create the false illusion that the famous, wealthy person is somehow superior to everyone else and thus able to impose his/her will on others.

We entered the post-truth world during the trial ;right in time for the dawn of the internet age.

He was so confident he could beat the system that he wrote a book detailing how he committed the murders in a non-confession. (the proceeds went to the Goldman family because OJ never paid up when he lost the civil suit)

Besides that ;the trial got us the Kardashian family reality TV culture (even Kato Kalin got his own show) . His other lawyers Cochran and Dershowitz went from civil rights lawyers to celebrity lawyers.
Judge Ito because of TVs in the court became a personality judge who got the most of his 15 minutes of celebrity . Mark Fuhrman became a talking head "expert " on issues of law enforcement.

Lost in the dust to dust were the victims .

OJ could've done some good in dying . Many people believe that his actions post football were Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy(CTE) related . Former football player Aaron Hernandez was convicted of murder . He later committed suicide. An examination of his brain revealed he had a severe case of CTE. Violent behavior is a pattern with CTE sufferers .

The problem is that so far ;the disease cannot be diagnosed when the person is alive.

More research is needed . OJ's brain could've been donated .

Instead his family will not donate it . He will be cremated .

“Tuesday is the predicted . . . day that he will actually be cremated.” LaVergne said. “That’s what OJ wanted. Those are OJ’s wishes, and that’s what the kids are telling me.”
