Outrage

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

By: Vincent Bugliosi

Narrated by: Joseph Campanella

What went wrong in the O.J. Simpson double-murder trial? Former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi dares to lay bare the bungling he perceived in the 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 fatal 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. Bugliosi is familiar with high-profile murder trials, his most famous one being the Charles Manson case, which became the basis for his book, Helter Skelter.

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.

there oj book

chapters not synced but so good, breaks it all down for you definitive and clear

Brutally Candid

This candid and brutally honest analysis of the Simpson murder case gives the listener cause to truly think. Regardless of where you stood during the trial, Vincent Bugliosi weaves a perfect stitch through the holes of both the prosecution and defense teams.
I only wish that Gil Garcetti would have asked a winner’s opinion rather than running for Mayor (I say this because if he was fully vested in winning this case, he would have).
BTW, Simpson was GUILTY!

First Hand Knowledge

Vincent Bugliosi was the DA during the Helter Skelter trial of Charles Manson and is eminently qualified to look at the legal elements of a case. Yes, it's easy to arm-chair quarterback someone else's work, but the flaws and mistakes made in the O.J. trial are pretty legendary. Well-written and researched, with excellent narration.

Amazing analysis

vincent bugliosi was a man who could see things clearly. His books are worth more than a college degree.

Clear, concise, to the point

It was a very intriguing listen. I thought the performer also did an excellent job. This was my first Bugliosi book and now I’m looking for more.
