Vincent Bugliosi, who never lost a murder case, brilliantly outlinesthe five reasons why O.J. Simpson got away with murder: the worst possiblejury, a sloppy and incomplete prosecution, a fatal change of venue, judicialerror that allowed the defense to play the race card, and a weak summation andrebuttal that barely addressed the defense's frame-up and conspiracy theories.He reveals: --The offer Marcia Clark and Bill Hodgman should never have refused.
--The bluff that saved the defense's cardboard case.
--What Deputy Sheriff Jeff Stuart overheard when Rosey Grier visited Simpson injail.
--The 17 words Johnnie Cochran used to cover his argument that could have beenhis undoing if caught.
