4.0 out of 5 stars Demolition, 20 Feb 2004
By Mr I C Roxburgh (Edinburgh United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
It is clear from the outset that Vincent Bugliosi is a man who cares passionately about the law, and justice for the victims of crime. He was a very successful prosecutor, & is probably best known for his prosecution of Charles Manson. Therefore, he is ideally placed to provide a critical view of the O J Simpson trial & to explain in layman's terms why the verdict at the end of the day was not guilty.

The book explains the evidence presented (and that which was not) and is also a critique of the performances (and tactics) of the many lawyers involved in the case; Judge Ito also feels Bugliosi's wrath.

I must admit that when I watched the trial on TV I felt that I could understand why the verdict reached was not guilty, but in reading this book I quickly realised that there was much that I did not know about, and that the evidence presented should have been more than enough to secure a guilty verdict.

It is an engrossing book, that pulls no punches on what now appears to clearly be a black day for the American judicial system, and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book and you WILL be outraged!, 27 Jun 2000
By A Customer
As one of the many, many people who sat in open mouthed horror as OJ Simpson was found "not guilty", I didn't need much persuasion to buy this book. After reading it I am, if anything, even more outraged than I was before ...

Like many people I thought OJ was guilty. Not because I had conducted any kind of rational analysis of all the evidence, but because it was the only answer that made sense. And the frame up theory, which would have had to involve everyone except OJ, didn't make any sense. But I live in London and it didn't seem like that big a deal.

Well now I'm good and mad. Not only has OJ walked free, but he's done it because of a scrappy, poor quality prosecution! He not only should have been convicted, he COULD have been! And I can't help but compare the quality of the prosecution in this case with the efforts of Vincent Bugliosi himself in prosecuting the Manson case. Clearly the reason he had such a successful career as a prosecutor is his thoroughness and attention to detail, as well as a single minded determination to make the bad guys pay.

Having said that, his style is not for everyone. Perhaps he should have had a collaborator on this book to help him tone down the language and avoid repetition. I felt it could have been edited down by about a third, which would have improved the quality of his arguments. And the whole religion piece could have been removed without affecting the thrust of the book.

If you're undecided about OJ's actual guilt or innocence, read this. You too will be outraged at the massive injustice done to Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman and their families.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning and Thorough; THE O.J. book for truth-seekers, 5 Sep 1999
By A Customer
In short, Bugliosi does a superb job emasculating both the prosecution and the defense.

Those who criticize him for having an ego should observe his 105 convictions out of 106 jury trials.

This book provides the O.J. trial junkies with all the information they need to know about the case itself. For those who seek more TV theatrics, go somewhere else. This 500-plus page book is THE O.J. book for those who want to know exactly how it was O.J.'s defense team appeared to pull a rabbit out of hat when, in reality, the L.A. prosecutors put a rabbit in a hat and gave it to the defense. (The amount of damning evidence that was intentionally chosen to not be submitted into evidence and the reasons such blunders were made is appalling.)

Bugliosi's important influence on the O.J. case is not that he has put all the relevant factual evidence into one book for O.J. trial fanatics to use as reference(which he has), but the application of his experience and expertise to point out how easy a conviction would have been if prosecution did even a mininally poor job.

Bugliosi leads readers by the hand through the evidence and simply says, "These are the questions I would have asked" and "There's no way on Earth I would have not submitted this vital evidence." When the book is at an end, you can't help but feel U.S. history and the vicious ramifications the trial has put on how we view our our legal and social systems would have been vastly different if someone like Bugliosi could have handled the case.
