His son had a rage disorder where if he wasn't on medicine the smallest offense could trigger explosive, totally out of proportion violence. From memory, apparently he wasn't taking the drugs at the time because they zonked him out, Ron and Nicole had slighted him by refusing an invitation or something like that, and his whereabouts were unaccounted for during the murder window.
Not enough evidence to believe his son did do it, but enough to believe he could have. You'd have to also believe OJ would cover for his son, would have to explain the boots and the gloves, and so on. So still 99% OJ did it.
I found this interesting as maybe the first time I saw the media actively cover up information to push their beliefs. They finally showed an interview with his medicated son and said look at this calm normal dude he couldn't possible kill anyone #conspiracytheory and suppressed the true story about his son's problems and whereabouts.
Rage Addiction and Conduct Disorders are pretty standard mental illnesses. They are also ones that the only real cure for is either incredibly difficult struggles to change over years of therapy or being literally lobotomized on meds (this is the option most take).
Unless you want to argue that they are so common among a certain demographic that they cease to be mental illness and are just the norm. Which might be a tree to bark on.
I think I'd heard maybe once before that OJ's son might have committed the murders. Funny enough, if there is enough evidence to reasonably suggest his son did it, then a "Not Guilty" verdict would be legally correct (reasonable doubt. Though he'd certainly still be guilty of other crimes if he had knowledge that his son murdered two people and then covered it up.)
Yeah, to be honest this is a very old issue.
That being said, the LAPD really did shit the case. If OJ didn't do it, he knows who did, and it was probably his son.

Those drugs probably zonked him out because he doesn't have a real mental illness, and is instead a raving lunatic.

I'm not familiar with 'conduct disorders'. But, rage addiction sounds like an addiction to me. So I don't think of that as a mental illness.

OJ would be an accessory after the fact which I think would also be the same murder charge.
If you're an accessory during the crime they you get charged also with murder, but not sure about just covering it up.
Agreed completely
