The OJ Simpson double murder case, which took place in 1994, continues to captivate public interest even after almost three decades. Recently, attorney Carl Douglas, a member of Simpson's defense team, shed light on the accusations of playing the 'race card' during the trial.
Douglas vehemently defended their legal strategy, stating that they were not exploiting race but rather presenting crucial facts. He pointed out that the prosecution also introduced race into the case by assigning a Black prosecutor, Christopher Darden, when the jury was already assembled.
