>> fact, one of our big stories tonight after a battle with cancer. oj simpson passed away at the age of 76. he was certainly a polarizing figure from superstar athlete to popular actor. but he's largely terms life was ultimately clips by what became known as the trial of the century. with months of cameras in the courtroom, millions of people tuning in live to hear the verdict of whether or not he was found guilty of killing his ex-wife, nicole brown. simpson and her friend ron goldman. here talk more on that infamous trial or kron. 4 legal analysts. michael cardoza, you are involved in this case, right?

well, that i did commentary on the part of the case. i wasn't directly involved with as well. let me tell you a quick story about oj, you know, you're up in the city right? >> galileo, high school. but before he went to high school, used to play touch football out of funston and you know, you picked teams out, take him. you take him. they hid oj behind buildings. go come hide. and the last kind of pick a oh, there he is. we was that great and napoli back well, it's it's, you know, the younger generation only knows the trial and and doesn't know what he was like before rise accusations came out. >> he was so popular. he's such a phenomenal football player. mean, i remember watching play for the buffalo bills, even usc. just an amazing athlete. and he was just a charismatic personality and he's very popular in movies and so on. so in this case hit, it was a huge that he was accused of this crime and then ultimately that was the statement that he had to

live with the rest of his life. sadly, that's how he's going to be remembered because some say he was the best running back in the nfl ever. you so. >> yeah, but tell me about your thoughts on the outcome of that trial because a lot of people, particularly people who are not black it was a slam dunk that he was guilty the knife. i mean, there's so much evidence you can point to, right, right? the black community had a whole different perception. it was right after the rodney king case which inflame tensions even more talk about that dynamic of right? well here, here's what happened down la. the first mistake that was made. >> the district attorney was approached by the sheriff of la county said, it happened out in brownwood. that's going to be a santa monica trial. and you can imagine the composure of the jury's who they'd much more white than black. and the sheriff said to the da, look, we can't do security. do you mind moving

and down the hill street downtown and the da agreed with that. when i heard that at the time i went oh, and i wasn't da in la. i just left there to come back to the bay area. and i thought, that's a big mistake. so they change sons has states called venue. but from santa monica to downtown that completely changed the dynamic of it. and then you get to the district attorney is involved. i don't know if a lot of people remember, but there was marcia clark and i don't remember the older district attorneys name, but he was caucasian and he had a heart attack. and the da's office said, well, we need to bring someone else side and they brought christopher darden who happens to gridlock and black? yeah. and i thought wait a minute, christopher. if i remember correctly and never tried a murder case before. so they were bringing him on for

obvious reasons. and i'm sure that put down potential jurors saw right through that. and then you got to the trial. what remember, judge ito lands? you know, he really didn't control that trial very well. and you've got always high powered attorneys on the other side led by johnnie cochran. now, tell your story a member of the glove don't fit. got much to quit. the people that were involved in the trial told me the way that went down. ashley bailey came up to darden city. chris. you know, we've got his glove just given a heads up, we're going to o j tried it on. now. if you want go ahead. and when i heard that, i thought all. do not agree to that because you give the imprimatur of the da's office. but darden took the bait. okay. how what will we'll do it right? not you.

well, you see are the folks that one time right? and since the da have him do it, people that couldn't be put up. now, if the defense did it, people would obviously go come you know, it's obviously states. and then i'm talking to the attorneys that defense team met every night and had discussions about what they were doing, where they were going. house told the da's didn't do that. they were like, this as you said, this a slam dunk case. why do we need to meet? they didn't. they're basically out workouts, killed. and you saw the result of this trial. >> it's a certainly something be talked about and debated for many, years to come. all right. let's move a closer to home this sideshow crackdown sideshows last weekend over on the peninsula. the east bay on the bay bridge. a chp is trying to crack down, but they're saying. it's almost impossible task. you can't send chp officers into the

middle of a sideshow. potentially violent situation there. outmanned may be outgunned. is there a? is there a solution that is your solution? send more police officers send a better arm. mean, i don't know what else to do. >> i've been the victim of 2 sideshows. thank god. that i was leaving oakland airport to go home both times but is inconvenienced myself. my partner. what, 10, 15, 20 minutes while a side shows going on. >> they said that they they are tracking down the vehicles after the fact and and making arrests and seizing vehicles. when they're with the technology of drones and lasers and all these things with their money away to to mark vehicles that are in the act for own or something like that but then what have they found? >> a lot of these cars are stolen, right? so all we've got the car, we've got the license plate. let's go. and then show up at your house and

going and my car was stolen. when you're talking about, i don't do sideshows. so you can do that. but to what end? i think you've got to catch the men. they somehow maybe do a dragon. i don't know. that's up to the highway patrol, but i do know it has to stop because i keep thinking what if someone is on the way to the hospital and that's life or death? i and i don't know the answer to this, but if there is a sideshow going on and you catch the people, could you charge them with a homicide, a murder? so a minute, you stop that ambulance. that person's life could have been saved or a baby woman's pregnant. there are all sorts of what f but the selfishness of it and non responsibility. is it shocking to me? but what goes on today and our cities different level, it doesn't shock me. no consequences. you could make the same argument over the protests that shut down the bay bridge also on absolutely. i thought they should around at all them up. >> and put him in jail. but here's the problem with that. when i was a da and alameda

county when things like that happen, if you prosecute them. all right. and don't don't just say, well, that's spent 2 days in jail. let that be enough. if you prosecute them, you give them another forum to protest. now you've got protesters in front of the courthouse for weeks disrupting their jury. so those are tough decisions for district attorneys. now you've got away, right? do we want to keep this political diatribe out? do we want to give them a forum? so that another our final topic today. is this bizarre story of an exorcism? >> in san jose, 3 people now accused of killing this. a 3 year-old girl who they said was possessed. yeah. now. from a criminal legal standpoint, it seems like that case. easy pursue. but i'm wondering about. potential religious defense and all of that. if they believe that this little child is possessed. yeah. and

that's their religious belief child from is that a free the - legitimate argument that does a legitimate argument might be? >> a psychiatric defense that they believed in something that obviously maybe not people's will not true. >> but they ended up killing their that's family collective insanity. grandfather, father, mother and the little girls tried to escape and she's telling mom, mom, i love you. why did not wake mom up to go well here, not on this leap has asked. so these people are real. there's no question about about a jury have ask jurors or religious beliefs. and if they believe the devils, yeah, i don't think you're going to find many of those. i'm told i was in court today down in santa clara. >> and i happened to be involved in a preliminary hearing that's in front of the same judge that heard the

preliminary hearing is going to come back early. may with a decision. us weather is going to send it to trial or not. is a good judge. well measured very bright. he's going to hold that answer and send it to a trial. yeah, it's a type of trial that jurors are going to sit there and listen and say you did what you believe, they're all going to be found guilty. >> and and put away unless they get some sort of good psychiatric defense that brings down that first-degree murder because they're facing 25 to life. it's they did. they charged and assault of killing child under 8 years of age and that carries 25 to life. so i wouldn't be surprise. jury hears this and i mean, that's going bring you to tears to listen to this trial. i would think once the judges through with your instruction, some of those years just might raise their hand and go. judge, we don't to go back there with everybody. good with this. they let's go. i mean, it's so

shocking. and so for it's so out of the ordinary, but it's yes all the way around question. all right, michael cardoza, always appreciate you coming on. thank you. >> vicki, well, thank you both. always so much to talk when it comes to legal matters. and speaking of that at the man who stole a private plane in palo alto and landed. >> on half moon bay beach will not be standing trial. a judge has ruled that luis, gustavo aires is not competent to stand trial and suspended all criminal proceedings prosecutors say the 50 year-old was a no show in court has refused to leave his jail cell. according to court documents, aires previously told investigators he stole the plane to, quote, show the government that airports lack proper security is defense attorney raise doubts about the homeless man's competency to understand court proceedings. a court-appointed psychiatrist evaluated aires, mental state and the judge sided with the defense. -e remains in custody. that all 4
