A jury said no, and nothing can change that. Under the law, Simpson did not murder Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. For most of us, it's an interminable argument. Either we think he's guilty, or we want to know who is. A majority of Americans still suspect Simpson did it, and polls suggest the nation is virtually split on whether the prosecution proved his guilt.
Racial tones color the debate.
A majority of blacks say he's innocent. A majority of whites say he's guilty. White anger and disgust run high, with many contending the black- dominated jury failed in its civic responsibility. Everyone knows he's guilty. . . . They still hate blacks.
