Is this comment in good faith, or are you needlessly playing Devil's Advocate? There are very few similarities in their cases other than the fact that they were both tried for Murder. - OJ was never convicted, he was acquitted outright. Amanda Knox was convicted. And only acquitted after appeals 4 years later. - OJ did not get charged in a foreign country, in which local police and courts failed to provide due process. In fact, he received arguably the best legal defense in the country. - OJ released a book afterwards - "if I DID IT: Confessions of the Killer" describing the murder in great detail. I mean, you've seen the book cover, right? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4f/If_I_did_It_2.png/220px-If_I_did_It_2.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4f/If_I_di... I'm really stumped by this comment. OJ got off, and essentially bragged about it. How is there any similarity here? > why should rhetoric (or looks) be the determining factor when it comes to public empathy? #metoo and #blacklivesmatter both happened but I'm yet to see black people being judged less harshly and trusted by the public. I think you're massively conflating these two topics. There's a real discussion to be had on race dynamics and conflict in relation to public sentiment, but it's a real stretch to say that's at play here unless you have a better example than OJ.
