Kim showed a lot of class and respect to Yolanda here. Just imagine sitting next to a juror who helped to deliver a verdict that would set a man who murdered your brother free. I can't say I would be so calm about it as Kim is.

Thank you Yolanda for showing us what absolute human stupidity looks like.

I find Kim Goldman to speak very eloquently. I enjoy just listening to her,   frankly because of the words she chooses and the manner and tone of her voice.  My heart goes out to her and her family.

Go Kim!! Way to tell someone how stupid they are without actually saying it :)

[johnp]

The jury was either:
a.) dumb
b.) in revenge mode for Rodney King
c.) both

Kim Goldman, if u read this, I just want u to know how much I've admired u & ur family for the way u've handled urself with so much dignity at the trial. I was in California at that time so I watched it from the beginning to the end. I was SHOCKED at the verdict. And today I watch this clip & I see how it's even more dignified of u to agree to sit next to one of the jurors who was responsible for letting the murderer of ur brother & Nicole go free. This message is from Egypt.

That's some serious body language going on.

I feel like Yolanda knows he’s guilty, but to keep her sanity intact and to prevent a guilty conscience, she’s sticking to the “beyond a reasonable doubt” excuse.

[Maryam-mwwm]

Prayers to Kim and her family. Love her composure and balance. Person sitting next to her is beyond stupid.

[jeepstuff]

They let a murderer go free. Shame on them

[jayboogietime]

Give me a They just want her to say he’s guilty!

[terryharris]

over whelming evidence of his guilt was presented. And this is one of the freaks that aquitted him.

[alwaysawinner]

They let him walk . He was only one who had motive to kill them . It was done out of rage.

So she always had some doubt huh? Usually when one juror or a room full of jurors have some doubt a hung jury happens and you get a mistrial so the suspect can get tried again in court. It's funny watching her sitting next to one of the victims family member because she looks ashamed but when I watched her on the 30 for 30 OJ documentary she looked proud at her decision. And the funny thing about that whole case was they was protecting a black man that just brutally killed two victims and he could care less about the black community. If one of OJ's white friends would have been accused of killing a black person and OJ would have stood by his or her side people like her would have been calling him a sell out and a uncle tom. And another thing I'm getting tired watching all these shows and documentaries claiming that all of us black people was happy about the verdict because that's far from the truth. Unlike this woman I felt bad for the families of the victims and felt they deserved to get a fair trail without the circus.

What I don't understand is why the jurors didn't take into consideration that he had been abusive and beaten his wife on a number or occasions, not to mention just days before she died she had ran out of this house yelling, he's going to kill me, while he chased her out of their house. That would be enough for me. The fact that he beat his wife was reason enough for him to go to jail.

I guess simultaneously no one has any compassion for what they jurors had to sit through for 9 months paralleled to what the Goldman’s had to go through

[mikeluit]

Kim stated it perfectly and as nicely as you can in that situation. "Of the thousand pieces of evidence in the criminal case, it's hard to believe a few more pieces of evidence would have made difference."
Yep, and it only took 4 hours to deliberate. My god. If there is a Heaven and Hell, and I know a lot of people out there don't believe there is, but if there is, I wonder where ignoring justice/evidence puts you?
Also, the jurors doing talk shows/interviews after this verdict...holy crap...if I did believe in a Heaven and Hell, I would be praying every day for my forgiveness, not doing interviews.

[janicknorman]

Not even herself believe what she's saying.

[broncodeviltexas]

It's really interesting to me that each one of the female jurors that I've seen, including Tracy Hampton, who was released after 4 months, all speak with a quiet monotone. They seem dimwitted and slow.

[seattlelife]

He killed them..that's it an that's all..
