OJ Simpson’s Opinion on Murdaugh Murders Goes Viral — He Thinks Defendant Made Major Mistake in Trial

Former football player O.J. Simpson has been in the news recently for his opinion on the Murdaugh murders case in South Carolina. The case involves the death of Paul Murdaugh, 22, and his mother Maggie Murdaugh, 52, in their home last June.

Simpson, who famously was acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife and her friend in 1995, has been sharing his thoughts on the case on his Twitter account, which has over 900,000 followers. He posted a video on September 12th, where he analyzed some of the events of the trial and commented on the defendant’s strategy.

According to Simpson, the defendant made a “major mistake” by not accepting a plea deal that was offered to him. Simpson explained that by rejecting the deal, the defendant opened himself up to being found guilty of murder in the first degree, which carries a possible death sentence in South Carolina.

In Simpson’s opinion, the defendant would have been better off pleading guilty to murder in the second degree, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. By doing so, Simpson believes the defendant could have avoided the possibility of the death penalty and increased the chances of a lighter sentence.

Simpson also criticized the defendant’s choice of legal representation. He said that the defendant’s lawyers should have put more effort into discrediting witnesses and looking for inconsistencies in the evidence presented by the prosecution.

Simpson’s opinion on the case has gone viral and has been picked up by several news outlets. Some have criticized Simpson for commenting on the case, arguing that his own legal troubles make him an unreliable commentator on matters of law.

Regardless of whether one agrees with Simpson’s opinion or not, the case remains a tragic one, with two lives lost and a family left grieving. The trial continues, and it remains to be seen what the ultimate fate of the defendant will be.
