The Young Turks: Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz- 'O.J. Simpson Is Innocent According To New Book'


"Via The LA Times: "In the new book "O.J. Is Innocent and I Can Prove It," author-investigator William C. Dear asserts that he knows who killed Nicole Brown Simpson. As you can guess from the title, he believes it was not O.J. Simpson: He claims it was Jason Simpson, the former football star's son...".* Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur and Ben Mankiewicz discuss on The Young Turks." 


"In the new book "O.J. Is Innocent and I Can Prove It," author-investigator William C. Dear asserts that he knows who killed Nicole Brown Simpson. As you can guess from the title, he believes it was not O.J. Simpson: He claims it was Jason Simpson, the former football star's son." 

From the Los Angeles Times 

"It's often said that the only certainties in life are death and taxes. But you can add "rehashing of the O.J. Simpson case" to that list -- at least for the last 18 years.

So it should come as no surprise that a new book has been published about the 1994 murders of Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman." 


Ben Mankiewicz: "O.J.'s blood, O.J.'s glove, at the crime scene and house. It's a very strong case against O.J. Simpson that he's the murderer here."

Ana Kasparian: "Maybe this guy is a retired LAPD detective who doesn't give a shit about his reputation anymore, so he's just cashing in now." 

Cenk Uygur was essentially playing the devil's advocate here, in I believe in an intentionally humorous way. I don't the man as well as the people he works with over at The Young Turks (obviously) but I have to believe from what I've seen from his own commentary, that he's too smart to believe that O.J. Simpson is actually innocent here. 

Both Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian have taken on fake racism in the past and have argued that minorities shouldn't be acquitted simply because they're minorities. That you have to go with the facts and evidence, as well as the individuals in each case, to determine whether defendants are guilty or not.
