Outrage

The Five Reasons Why O.J. Got Away with Murder

By: Vincent Bugliosi

Narrated by: Joseph Campanella

Vincent Bugliosi, who successfully prosecuted Charles Manson, examines the failed attempt to convict O.J. Simpson of murder. What went wrong in the O.J. Simpson double-murder trial, which was deemed the trial of the 20th century? Former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, who was well-acquainted with high-profile murder trials—including the successful prosecution of Charles Manson and his followers—dares to lay bare the bungling in the O.J. case. Incriminating evidence was never presented and lapses in strategy left prosecutors Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden at a disadvantage. These are just a few of the disastrous errors that led to a victory for the defense. Listen as Bugliosi weaves his own final summation, laying out the evidence in its proper sequence and forestalling (or rebutting) the ploys of the defense.©1996 Vincent Bugliosi (P)1996 Phoenix Books

guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt.".

A well thought-out, informative, eloquent, and detailed portrayal of true crime.
This delivery is persuasive while including comic relief.
Bugliosi is the absolute master of the criminal mind, explanation and proclamation of information.

Pure genius.

Skipping

The audio kept cutting out and skipping through the book. I listen to a lot of books and this has never happen before.

Placing Blame,

Congratulations Mr. Bugliosi, this is the best take on the trial of the century. Your experience shines through on every page. You tear apart the Dream Team but you seem to have full awareness of Darden and Clark and their endless errors, poor judgement, and weak trial smarts that ultimately gave the jury enough to their part of this nightmare with a not guilty verdict. I had no idea the clear evidence that the egos of the prosecution chose not to share with this jury. They killed Nicole and Ron over again with laziness and poor choices, which sound from you to be basic trial 101. I also had no idea how much help they had which only intensified their determination to be part of the Dream Team which they ultimately helped with their lame choices. I know I sound a little pro defense right now, but that is not the case, you share information that shocked me. Information, the prosecution did not use that I - like you believe would have made all the difference in the outcome, no matter what what the Dream Team threw out. Justice was not served on so many levels. I applaud your book which is shocking, well put together, and truly identifies that THE TRIAL ON THE CENTURY was in fact a comedy of errors by all involved.

You Thought you Were "Outraged" Before!!!

Prepare yourself for all the details which outline why you should be even more angry about this case. It took me years to be able to face the details of this case again. There was so much I didn't know that it is outlined in this book. It dredged up old feelinsg and added a few more. A must read for those of you either believed in Simpson or not.

Absolutely fantastic!

I loved this book. It was short (I wish the author would keep going!), but the book was well organized, well researched, complex, and fascinating. The author thoroughly, yet concisely, explained why Simpson got off using great examples along the way. I could keep going on how much I enjoyed this book. While the narrator could have had more inflection and been more passionate, it didn’t really deter from the book itself. Seriously, buy this audio book if you’re interested in the OJ Simpson trial, you will not regret it.
