   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  Anita_Pomerantz | Mar 23, 2023 |   Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O.J. Simpson Got Away with Murder (Paperback) by Vincent Bugliosi I loved this book, not just because of the compelling case Bugliosi makes but because of his musings on life which I found to be utterly delightful and a few of which I have taken to heart. This is a really good book for Non Fiction readers. It really lays out the case and shows how the trial was so bungled. It is long and rather wordy as his books tend to be but it is a great book and I'd highly recommend it.

 No one who reads this book will ever again believe that the most publicized acquittal in the history of American jurisprudence was solely the result of juror prejudice or the machinations of unscrupulous defense attorneys. The D.A. and the prosecutors have been called before the bar of justice. AwardsDistinctions
Here is the account of the O. J. Simpson case that no one dared to write, that no one else could write. In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Vincent Bugliosi, the famed prosecutor of Charles Manson and author of Helter Skelter, goes to the heart of the trial that divided the country and made a mockery of justice. He lays out the mountains of evidence; rebuts the defense; offers a thrilling summation; condemns the monumental blunders of the judge, the "Dream Team," and the media; and exposes, for the first time anywhere, the shocking incompetence of the prosecution.

What this book does is give a very lawyer-ly examination of why the prosecution botched this case completely, even against a poorly constructed defense. I think this would be a great read for a law student or for anyone really interested in the Simpson case. Unfortunately, I fit neither of those two categories. Bugliosi manages to entertain by being sarcastically arrogant in a way that some readers will really hate, but frankly I found to be necessary to really hold my attention. Needless to say, it is pretty scary how many factors came together to let O.J. Simpson off the hook. This book seemingly addresses every single one, but according to Bugliosi, there were even more small things that were done improperly. Let's just leave it to say that this book is carefully done, well done, but you just need to really care about the subject matter to find it a compelling read. (
