In a trial, character is VERY important.
He assasinated his own character. He renderred himself useless to the Prosecution. He embarrassed his entire agency, maybe even police officers all over the country.
The jury could not convict OJ with the evidence presented because the Prosecution could not prove his guilt BEYOND ALL REASONABLE DOUBT.
OJ could have walked if the trial had been held in Jackson, MS in the 1990's, as long as there were considerable doubts. With the police tampering with evidence, lying in court and notably racist, the Prosecution would lost that case anywhere in America where citizens are not concerned with ensuring that JUSTICE is served-- and that not at the expense of an innocent man.

Believe or not, race was huge in that trial. If OJ was white or victoms were'nt blonde hair blues eyes, he would have been convicted, IMO. Unfortunately, many still can't look past race in when judging a person or situation.
