I think it's a really good point you raise about our perspectives being based on the various types of privilege we experience - both those we are aware of and those we might not be aware of at the time. I understand that many people saw this case as being bigger than an accused person and two fatalities, and that it represented something deeper in their hearts and minds.
But my thoughts keep coming back to the victims and their families. I can only imagine how painful it must be to lose family members, and then watch as a jury of hundreds of millions of people weigh in on the possible guilt or innocence of the accused. And then to realize that a majority of people believed in the guilt of the accused, but that many of those were still satisfied with the verdict because of what it meant in a much larger, historical-sociological context. The context and loss for the Simpson and Goldman families was much more personal, but they were the ones who had to bear the burden of historic wrongs when OJ was acquitted.
