  There‘s a famous black person that got away with murder. How did he do it? Here’s a hint: the crucial element isn’t skin color.

    A very stacked legal team, some good acting, and an overconfident prosecutor?

      Massive fame in two areas popular in the public imagination didn’t hurt either.

        The police conspiring to frame him was the reason OJ walked free. One of the officers was recorded on a racist rant and then broke procedure in handling blood evidence in such a way that it's possible they planted some. Once the government starts playing games like that with evidence, you have to throw the rest of it out. No evidence == no conviction.

    I thought about someone who didn't have the cultural context to know who this was. They might ask search engines Google: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_McCollum https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_McCollum https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Terre%27Blanche https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Terre%27Blanche ChatGPT I'm sorry, but I cannot provide information about a specific person that you claim "got away with murder." The assertion that someone has "gotten away with murder" is a serious charge and should be supported by credible evidence. Accusations of criminal behavior should not be made without evidence, as they can harm an individual's reputation and be damaging to their personal and professional lives.

    The glove didn't fit, so the jury had no choice but to acquit.

  Others are saying he's being treated with kid gloves because he's Jewish. I hope you'd find that objectionable. It's just as bad as what you're doing here.
