Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Michael_Elliott Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence (2017) You can check out the individual episodes to hear my thoughts on each of the six but this here is just an overview. This six-part television special has Martin Sheen narrating as an investigator presents new evidence that he claims proves that O.J. Simpson was not guilty of the murders and he points the finger at his oldest son. From here a couple detectives join the case and comb through the evidence to see if they can prove that there was someone else who did the murders.Again, you can read my thoughts on each episode but I must asy that for the most part I enjoyed this special even though it ends with a major dud and in my opinion the sixth episode is the least entertaining. The highlight of the entire series is the fact that we get some new interviews with many of the key players in the trial including Fred Goldman, Tanya Brown, Detective Tom Lange, Henry Lee, Allan Park, Andrea Scott, Ron Shipp and Kato Kaelin.The episodes present some rather interesting bits of evidence and the series does a very good job at pulling you along just like an old-fashion cliffhanger. They build up your interests, present the story and then they usually leave you with more questions. Throughout the series I was interested in what was going on but it seems every piece of evidence would then lead me to ask several other questions. The Simpson book "If I Did It" is called into play and we're asked to believe the book just in case Simpson told the truth in it.I'm a Simpson buff and will watch any film or documentary that deals with him. I found the first five episodes to be highlight entertaining and thanks in large part to the new interviews. There's some interesting ideas brought up here but I think most of it gets flushed down the toiled during the final ten-minutes of the last episode. I don't know, I just feel like the producers of this were playing a joke the entire time as it really just doesn't end very well.Still, if you're enjoy stuff dealing with the case then it's worth watching.
lavatch The verdict in the 1995 trial of the People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson was an embarrassment for the City of Los Angeles. With the passing of over two decades, the District Attorney would certainly not be interested in reopening the case to examine the evidence presented in this television series. In so doing, city officials would only be admitting their own incompetency in the "trial of the century."Neither are the American people interested in exploring the new evidence presented in this series. The lazy public has already made up its mind about O.J. Simpson's guilt. Even a recent Oscar-winning documentary series neglects to look at the evidence, focusing instead on broader themes of race and society.But for the thoughtful viewer, this series and the book written by William C. Dear ("O.J. Is Innocent") offer the compelling case that O.J.'s son Jason Lamar Simpson should have at least been considered a significant suspect in the case. Instead, he was never interrogated by the LAPD, his background was not thoroughly examined, and his flimsy alibi was not subjected to close scrutiny.Jason Simpson's upbringing included the tragic death of his younger sister in which Jason had been asked to watch her. He failed in his task, she drowned in the family swimming pool, and he had to carry the trauma of that loss of life. By his teens, he was addicted to alcohol and was experiencing bouts of uncontrollable rage. At the time of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman, Jason Simpson was on probation for assaulting his employer. One of the neighbors of Nicole Simpson appears on camera testifying that Nicole believed that Jason was stalking her. One of the witnesses in this program describes the "sexually charged" environment of the dysfunctional Simpson family.Jason's alibi on the night of the murders is a tissue of lies and obfuscation. The copy of the time card for his work at Jackson's Restaurant on the night of June 12, 1994, does not even list the dates alongside the hours. One of the times is hand written, as opposed to machine stamped. The time cards for the employees had labels affixed at the top. In this time card, however, Jason Simpson's name is hand written at the top. The restaurant owner who supported Jason's alibi was not even present in the restaurant on June 12, so he could not have known when Jason left work that evening. Jason's girlfriend's account conflicts with Jason's deposition given during the civil trial. The most important eyewitness is Carlos Ramos, a busboy at the restaurant, who testified that the kitchen shut down at 9:00pm on the night of June 12. Jason Simpson could have left work at any time after 9:00pm, which again should have made him a prominent suspect in the Simpson-Goldman murders, which the prosecution alleged occurred around 10:15pm.A good portion of this series addresses the evidence of the blood that suggests a match of the blood of O.J. Simpson with that found at the crime scene. Yet, the blood of O.J.'s relatives such as his son could produce equally compelling conclusions that Jason was at the crime scene, committed the murders in an act of rage, later phoned his father who visited the crime scene, and undoubtedly stepped in the blood. Within twenty-four hours and prior to his own arrest, O.J. had hired a criminal defense attorney to represent JasonOver time, high profile murder cases tend to sort themselves out. In the JonBenet Ramsey case, the most recent scenario suggests that the brother of JonBenet killed his sister with a blow to the head in a moment of rage after she swiped a piece of pineapple from his plate. In this reading of the evidence, the parents covered for the little boy, fooling the authorities for decades. A parent will often stop at nothing in order to protect a child. That may be true as well in the case of O.J. Simpson and his son Jason. Although this six-part series was uneven, especially in the final two episodes, it nonetheless works closely to the evidentiary record to challenge the viewer to come to terms with the major contradictions in the case. Only time will tell whether or not Jason Lamar Simpson has a conscience.
bew-31931 After Lange says, Blood, Blood and more Blood, you can change channels unless you want to laugh a lot.Only value was Tom Lange's appearances, and even he was disappointing when he said "there it is" as a fake Bronco was produced with reproduced blood stains.Stop doing these Mr Goldman....please, don't dignify them with the time. Same thing Tanya Brown who likely had to be heavily edited when "Gamechanger" mentioned Jason or begged to stay for a minute after she likely told him to get out off camera. Hope Jason and the home owners at Rockingham and Bundy sue Dear, Sheen and this sham. How many times did they go there or the fake time test at night to film private property? (good thing they were not pulled over for speeding) So after all that the cop on Big Brother "Game-changer" (take a drink every time he said it Levasseur) and the other guy paid $50,000 for a court appearance could not call up the restaurant owner and the partner they interviewed when they were not showing the time clock and ask if the time cards were two-sided A-B? That and Dear threatening grand jury after he produced nothing but some guy who was trying very hard to pass a polygraph who of course learned of this show filming. (and happened to call in) Priceless, was that the baseball card guy on Better Call Saul?They sure had time to keep running out to get Kato more face-time before the show wrapped suddenly to see Georgia Hardstark desperately trying to hide her tattoo on television vs internet version. Hint-Maybe OJ got out of the driver side and opened the passenger door and reached in? The funny thing is the camera quality and overhead shots were right there with O.J Made in America, the slo-mo of the posse walking in the street sums up how fake this was.The handwriting expert meeting them outdoors for a minute, and rubber stamping a hand-writing sample as identical even Vincent Laguardia Gambini would have destroyed, it was beyond funny to see someone walk outside, look at a writing sample and just know it's Jason Simpson.
mg75535 This "docuseries" was clearly a desperate attempt for Bill Dear to get the smear campaign against Jason Simpson of the ground, which he's been attempting to market since 2001. There is no evidence uncovered in this show that wasn't revealed in the Trial or "O.J.: Made in America". Every single piece of evidence that "proves" Jason was involved can be easily explained. The only thing this documentary showed was that O.J. was just as terrible of a father to his children as he was a husband to his wives. It's frankly irresponsible and cruel to be accusing Jason of these atrocious crimes with nothing to back it up except for the word of one attention seeking old hack.
