While revenge for Rodney King had something to do with it, it was mainly the incompetence of the prosecution. They made constant error after error. Denouncing Mark Fuhrman. OJ trying on the gloves. The destruction of the DNA guy's credibility. The list goes on and on. They were unable to convince the jury that O.J. was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, the defense had put too much doubt into their minds. It didn't "had something to do with it". It was the main or sole reason for nearly the entire jury, according to one of their own members. A better prosecution might have reached a deadlock rather than outright innocence, but it was impossible to have him found guilty regardless of what the prosecution did. That juror is a racist who's also speaking for all the other jurors. And even if she did feel that way, if the prosecution did their job correctly she wouldn't have gotten a man who BRUTALLY MURDERED two people off the hook just to "get revenge". That's completely irrational, finding just 1 person with the state of mind that says "I don't care if OJ did them, I'm going to say he's not guilty because I like him and to get back at the system" is outrageous, much less 12. These jurors may not have been intelligent, but they were capable of basic rational thought- the amount of screening these people went through to make sure of that was unheard of in a jury selection. I watched that documentary. Another juror contradicts her right after- this one claims it was the prosecution's fault and all the jurors doubted them, which is TRUE. Nearly everyone involved with the case agrees it was mostly the prosecution's fault, even people on their side. Only Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden claim it was all the jury's fault. The truth is they were in over their heads. For more info, I suggest you read Vincent Bugliosi's Outrage: The Five Reasons O.J. Got Away or even watch the documentary version of it here. (Vincent Bugliosi was one of the most renowned prosecutors in America, known for prosecuting Charles Manson, he won 105 out of 106 cases- and never lost any of his 21 murder cases). He explains exactly why the prosecution was incompetent, and how a competent one would've gotten Simpson convicted- regardless of the jury's stupidity/racism.
