@drahardja @mekkaokereke likewise, I was a kid in another country and it was basically framed as "OJ got away with murder" on the radio and in the papers, the subtext in every piece about it could be summed up as "everyone knows he did it".
In the intervening years I'd picked up enough for my understanding to develop to "the prosecution's evidence had substantial problems" but holy hell I did not know the half of it.
