I loved the portrayal of Faye Resnick. That whole scene with her describing the details of Nicole’s life resembles what I’d imagine happens right before they shoot a porno and the actors are introduced to each other. Its so sleazy and dirty with not an ounce of care going towards the truth, everything is stretched out as tawdry as possible.
Well that final shot of Fuhrman gazing at his medals was sure lacking in subtlety. Also who is Robert Morse’s character? 
The dinner party scene was downright bizarre.
He plays Dominick Dunne, who covered the trial for Vanity Fair, and who, as the show points out, had a daughter who was killed by her boyfriend, who only ended up spending something like three years in prison for it.
Does anyone know if they will go into the Las Vegas armed robbery crime and the results of that crime? I never knew much about that beyond the fact that OJ apparently was unhappy thinking someone had stolen some of his collectibles sports memorabilia. I’d def like to see what happened there.
Does anyone know how much of that will be shown?
If I had to guess, they’d end with the murder verdict and OJ picking up his hat and gloves.
I remember it making the news about Johnnie Cochrane replacing the photographs of OJ with white friends and the pictures of naked white women with Afrocentric art and pictures of black families and all.
Was that legal?
That opening with Cochran getting pulled over was so awful. I felt so bad for him and his girls. I mean, it doesn’t make him like him or agree with the things he did in the trial, but I felt so much anger and sadness seeing that.
Wait, so Mark Fuhrman collected Nazi medals? How did I miss that? Did it come up at the trial?
I’m not sure why it would be illegal since OJ’s house wasn’t the crime scene, and had already been searched by the police. Nicole’s house was completely empty. Also could someone refresh my memory; they did the jury tour OJ’s house anywhere if it wasn’t the crime scene. 
There’s a youtube video out of a compilation of David Schwimmer saying “The Juice” from that movie. I don’t know why but it cracks me up.
The initial scene of the last episode of Cochrane being pulled over with two girls in the back was pretty powerful- but according the Vanity Fair fact check there was a child of each gender in the back, not two girls. Why change something like that? Seems to me that on the whole they’re being fairly faithful with the facts, but they’re not above making alterations for dramatic effect, such as the heart attack scene in court.
Couple of fact checks of this episode.
This episode brought to mind one of the more bizarre things that happened, and it was even strange to one of the lawyers I read who wrote an article about this episode. Just how often, and why, would a jury ever go field tripping and visit a crime scene? Is it just because OJ had the money to extend the trial like that? In fact, how would that even work? Say a poor defendant wants the jury to visit the site of some crime, he wouldn’t have to pay for it right? Who wanted the crime scene visit and what was the purpose? I never remember this ever happening, not even on Law and Order or CSI. I didn’t know it was possible to get the jury to do that. Can someone explain?
I’m also shocked that the defense could just rearrange OJ and Nicole’s home like that. Yeah, it wasn’t really the crime scene and the police had left months ago, but if the point of the jury visit was the see what it was like, shouldn’t it have been kept as it was? Did Clark or the DA’s have the legal right to also access the home?
There were allegations of it. A DA lawyer mentioned that Fuhrman walked around the weekend wearing stuff like that. Ito also mentioned later that he denied a defense motion to get access to documents allegingthat he had those things on his desk.
Does anybody know if the bit about OJ yelling at Chris Darden to get off his bench was accurate?
That also struck me as odd, as well as the fact that the defendant was allowed to roam around and mingle with the jury.
Those fact checking articles are long, but interesting. For anyone who skips them but still wants to know about the chest pains / heart attack in the courtroom: It didn’t happen in the courtroom, it happened later that day while the prosecution team was discussing the case in the office.
This was such a crazy case. This series and the fact checking has been really enlightening. A lot of the crazy, unbelievable things that you think they only did for dramatic license actually happened.
According to the fact check site above, this actually happened.
I’m with xizor, how do you let an accused double murderer run around his house with the jury and both sides of lawyers? In fact, I don’t recall that Simpson was ever in court with an orange jumpsuit and shackles. That’s how defendants for homicide are usually presented in court aren’t they? Especially if they are coming from jail and not out on bail. This case was just strange everywhere.
teeny-tiny quibble: Dominique Dunne was murdered by her ex-boyfried. (For some reason, I’d thought he was a stalker who didn’t know her personally; maybe I’m confusing this with the equally depressing Rebecca Schaefer case?)
Kris Kardashian was on Ellen yesterday and talked about this miniseries. She said she had no idea that Nicole was a battered wife and that OJ called her a few times after the trial but she wouldn’t talk to him. (Then they dropped the subject and talked about her reaction to the oddity of Caitlyn deciding to date men after a lifetime of dating only women.)
I think most jailed defendants can wear street clothes in court if they have them. Or their attorney/public defender can provide them. Obviously it was in O.J.'s best interest not to look like a criminal in front of the jury.
I still can’t believe Judge Ito allowed television cameras in the courtroom. Dude was way too invested in his own fame.
Schaeffer was killed by a stalker fan, not partner/ex-partner violence. Her murderer was successfully prosecuted by Clark.
