OJ Simpson’s Video
In his Twitter post, he spoke for more than three minutes. He discussed the Murdaugh case and offered opinions on who may have been responsible for the murders.
What did He say?
He said,
“A whole lot of people asking me about this Alex Murdaugh trial. I don’t know why they think I’m an expert on it. But I got to admit, when he took the stand, a guy who’s a habitual liar, I did watch. When the trial first started, I watched him take the stand, and I thought it was probably a mistake because the guy is an admitted liar, and it’s hard for me to think he could be on the stand for five, six, seven, eight days without lying, the question is: What did he lie about? But lying and stealing money is a little different than murder.”
He continued, “I realized watching him testify what he was doing. He was just trying to relate to one or two of those jurors that he was a good ‘ol boy. He was one of them. I’m not sure he didn’t succeed in doing that. I am not really qualified to say if the guy did it or he didn’t do it. If a juror missed an hour of testimony, they no longer qualify. I missed days that I haven’t watched this.”
