I read Bugliosi's book about it, and one of the funny things he points out is that Marcia Clark helped sabotage the prosecution because she was painting him as a wife beater, which was more tolerated at the time in the black community. She wouldn't listen to shit, she was going to ramrod the wife beating aspect come hell or high water.
Not to mention that Judge Ito was a shithead.
I totally agree on Clark, but Darden was no genius either. Honestly a huge mistake to put Clark out front and center to begin with on a couple different levels.
However, to be fair- wthout the wife beater angle they basically have no motive that they are presenting. The motive they went with was not very solid at all and pretty much hinged on OJ being a psycho jealous person who would kill her in a moment of passion. Which is a pretty convoluted story to be telling a jury in my opinion in the context of the actual alleged timeline of the murders.
