I know for a fact Peter Goth was not Martin because I know who that was.

I generally don't hold defense lawyers in contempt. Even if they know their client is guilty, they are bound legally and ethically to put up the best defense possible WITHIN the law and the ethics of their profession. If that means they get a guilty man acquitted, they've done their job.

I blame the prosecution for losing that case. It started with Gil Garcetti's dubious decision to move the trial from Brentwood to downtown Los Angeles where O.J. was sure to get a more sympathetic jury. A friend of mine told me right then that O.j. would be acquitted. I was naive enough to think that it wouldn't matter. I couldn't have been more wrong. Then they made the blunder of having O.j. try on the glove in court. That jury was looking for any excuse they could to disregard all the powerful forensic evidence that placed O.J. at the scene of the crime and acquit O.J. The prosecution handed it to them on a silver platter. I've heard it said that a good lawyer should never be surprised by what happens in court. The prosecutors never took into account what happens when leather gets soaked and then dries out. It shrinks. The case was lost right then.  Johnny Cochrane's defense was brilliant. His statement of "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit" obviously resonated with the jury. The acquittal of O.J. was a blatant miscarriage of justice, but I blame that mainly on the incompetence of the prosecution. The defense team just did their job.

The dream team had a lot of events go there way, like as you say moving the trial out of Brentwood, the incompetence of the prosecution, letting OJ try on the glove was a disaster and the omitting of major evidence like the suicide note, the bronco chase and a large amount of the domestic violence, did them no favours. I also remember they let the jury have an excursion out to OJ's house and they changed the many photos of OJ with white celebrities/politicians and exchanged them for ones more racially accommodating. And all this was in the shadow of Rodney King and having a predominantly black jury who was played to, all made a guilty plea virtually impossible.
I think if OJ was found guilty, the riots and property damage that happened afterwards would have made the Rodney King riots seem like an afternoon picnic, which makes me believe that perhaps the trial being moved and the general incompetence of the prosecution was maybe Planned? I know it makes me a conspiracy theorist, heaven forbid, but avoiding a billion dollars worth of damage and countless deaths perhaps wasn't a bad idea. And they probably knew OJ would somehow get himself into trouble and face jail and funnily enough that's what happened!

I believe this was Cochran's painting that was planted in OJ's house for the Jury to see.

It seems now there are two Johns in whose head I live rent free. Or is it perhaps one... I lose track sometimes.

Gotta love it 

Maybe you haven't figured this out but the only useful purpose you serve here is for comic relief.

   I understand the Groden/ Wiegman Film connection, but why are we even putzing around with the possible images of "Prayer Man" on the Wiegman Film? The Darnell Film has far better images of "Prayer Man" tucked back inside that corner of the TSBD Landing. The Sixth Floor Museum release of roughly the 1st :40 seconds of the Darnell film easily shows this "prayer man" figure even when viewed on a routine computer monitor.
  And when are we going to get the release of the last 1/2 of the Darnell Film? It's been over a year since the release of the 1st half of the film. Dollars To Donuts the final half of the Darnell Film will conclusively show, "That Ain't Haygood," roaming around well back inside the railroad yard. A at minimum, the last 1/2 of that film should us this Bogus Motorcycle Cop is Not choosing to carry an alleged "glove" with him from hell to high water. Is this why the final 1/2 of the Darnell film remains in limbo?
