The tape of Mark Furman using the "N" word is what primarily got him off the hook at the criminal trial . The jurors seemed to think Furman had set OJ up due to his racist views. If they would have had the picture of OJ wearing the Bruno Magli shoes at the first trial as they had in the civil trial, it maybe would have made a difference. but probably not. I think those jurors already had their mind made up.
