For anyone who hasn't seen it, I recommend the 30 for 30 docuseries "O.J.: Made in America."
Yea it’s rather excellent, the way they approach how valuable and rare his undeserved second chance really was, and how stupidly he squandered it by doing lowlife stuff with a bunch of other lowlifes was rather excellent.

I won’t be mourning his passing. He and his legal “dream team” made a mockery of the criminal justice system. I believe in our legal system and in the high standard of proof required to convict a a criminal defendant because the sad truth is that we wrongly convict and incarcerate far too many criminal defendants in this country and the vast majority of them are poor and people of color (and I’m Caucasian in case you’re wondering). That being said, the forensic evidence was overwhelmingly in favor of the state in this case and the jury bought into a bunch of nonsense in my opinion. This is a case that went disastrously off the rails and I do not believe that justice was served.
