I respectfully disagree. This may be a generational thing. I'm about 50. I watched the OJ verdict in the student union in '95. A hundred people or more roundly booed for half a minute when he was acquitted. There was real feeling that OJ had "gotten away with murder," and that it was substantially based on the race of the jury and the ineptness of the prosecutor. Most were disgusted, and we had the kind of feeling that never goes away.
I definitely thought it was news that he was being paroled. Of course, I think he got railroaded on the trumped up charges of which he was accused.
But I can easily picture this being a non-story for people who didn't live through it.
