Get down on it! Get down on it!.. Okay, enough of it. Not cool of me.

Ihmm...

We see the origins of a black "Assistant District Attorney" in the first couple of minutes. It is devastating to even think of it as normal day for some black persons in anywhere around the world.

So, we are shown that Mr. Cochran has had bad experiences all the time in his past, and has not been "assimilated" by those "unjust" behaviors towards him.

And also that he is an attentive parishioner that he has to have religious merits in him.

(Verily, this is controversial. To win a case no matter what happens cannot be of those merits. Justice is not defined by power or triumph.)

Nevertheless, Mr. Vance is just perfect for the role!..

"I appreciate your concern, but I refuse to be in the same room with a particular individual, and I think you know why..." Way to go, Mr. Shapiro!.. We 'd not expect less from you, such an immaturity-wise, egocentric person you are!..

So, we have to say that Mr. Shapiro slowly grows on us as Mr. Travolta plays his part well in spite of his "expressionless face". Maybe he had botulin toxin done on his face... Sad. Still, he does his share very well.

Mr. Darden is nothing Mr. Cochran is. He is no racist backwards, nor is he plays the race card to win at all cost. He is someone we should watch closely as he only seeks justice apart from whether he thinks O.J. Simpson did commit the double murder or not.

Moreover, Mr. Sterling K. Brown performs the mood swings and the drivenness essential for his part so well!.. This is very good.

Let's get to the good part! We feel that Detective Mark Fuhrman is the bombshell in all these... He might or might not have something to do with the damned acts of murder, but he surely will change the course of history soon.

We've got to say, Mr. Steven Pasquale doesn't give away the this Fuhrman character so easily that it is a success for now. Neo-Nazis; huh?.. :S

(Today's growing problem in the Europe as well as in the US. So, this is meaningful.)

A matter, worthy of notice, should be discussed here. So, "Juror Crime Scene Visitation" is this?.. The alteration of O.J.'s house is an insult to the deceased and to the institution of justice!.. Justice means not "cheap" to us... Interesting.

Another thing is, black members of the society there will possibly have each other's back even when they are opponents as it can be seen between Mr. Darden and Mr. Cochran. This is like a religion that black persons attend to: "The black comes first..." Oh, racism is no good.

"O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and appointed you races and tribes, that you may know one another. Lo! Surely the noblest among you in the sight of Allah is the most god-fearing of you. Allah is All-knowing, All-aware." says the Gracious Koran on the matter.
