And with even less plausible deniability*: While receiving counseling in prison from football player turned minister Rosie Greer, O.J. blurted out loudly enough for a guard to hear. “I did it! I didn’t mean to! ” Unfortunately for the prosecution, Judge Ito ruled the guard’s testimony inadmissible despite legal precedents that overheard privileged conversations are admissible as evidence.
*Although in arguing against allowing the guard to testify, Johnnie Cochran made a game attempt by suggesting that the guard could have overheard the last part of a sentence like “Can you believe that people think I did it?”

How can you ‘not mean to’ slit two peoples throats? THats not the kind of thing that happens by accident.
Shooting them - sure - gun accidents can happen and unintentional discharges ‘do happen’.
Running them down with a car? sure - that can happen ‘accidentally’ (brakes fail, texting, blinded by lights)
But slitting the throats? unless you walk around with a sword - thats not a ‘didn’t mean to do it’

I suppose either:
a) Robert Kardashian allegedly claimed that OJ went to Nicole’s place planning to slash her tires and committed the murders when she caught him sneaking around
or b) As one of the murderesses in “Chicago” says, “He ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times.”

Sorry - I should have put on the sarcastic/jokey smiley - I hate the “I didn’t mean to do it” defense for lots of reasons- saying it was an ‘accident’ is an entirely different matter.

Role-playing years ago, the party was in disarray. One evil member (rogue) attacked another party member. When asked to explain himself, he uttered the henceforth immortal phrase “I was cleaning my sling, and it went off”.
