I think those jurors already had their mind made up.
I read something one time that one or two of the jurors were basically thinking the government was just trying to bring down a black man. I don't know if OJ even admitted it like a scene in Matlock if it would have mattered. They were there to acquit. I actually wonder if OJ's brain is so battered that he is just mentally screwed up.
