hi everyone. Just a reminder that this subreddit focuses on history which for purposes means events/conditions at least 20 years ago, i.e. <= 1995. As such, responses can comment on the original "OJ Trial", which ended in 1995, but not any subsequent legal action / evidence / etc. Also be reminded that speculation is not permitted here, so confine discussion to documented facts.

OP, considering the restrictions in this sub, I'm not sure how useful any responses will be. You might consider posting this question to a sub specializing in USA legal matters.

Was Alexander the Great poisoned?

It is meaningless to ask a historian that question in a closed ended way. What we can know is that he died, many of the conditions of his death, that there are suspicions surrounding his early death, and what the fall out and consequences of his death were. We can spend all our lives talking about his death, and theories on the cause of his death, but we cannot after the fact determine the precise culprit.

Did OJ do it? I can tell you what the jury found, what the media reported, the public's reaction, maybe if I spend some time I could find some little details usually missed, but no, I and any honest historian have no ability to definitively answer whether or not he did it.

I would HIGHLY recommend Vincent Bugliosi's book "Outrage." Very well researched and sourced.

A shamefully under-reported detail is that detective Mark Fuhrman was asked 3 times, in varying wording, whether he manufactured/planted/falsified evidence. He pled the 5th Amendment against self-incrimination 3 times to this question link to the LA Times, and bless their hearts for having a working link from 1995 content.

Cops planting evidence does not prove innocence, but it certainly establishes reasonable doubt. If blood went missing from a sample in the police lab, then they find it on bloody gloves, the victim's home, etc., the right move may have been to acquit. OTOH, the jury was not in the room when this likely dirty cop all-but-admitted to faking evidence against OJ.
