1. I was in Germany

Left that shit far behind

2. Hey, so was a friend of mine!

I had to explain to him who Kato Kaelin was.

And, unrelated, Alanis Morrisette.

3. I think that trial spawned a new television network

4. I keep trying to remember if Fox News was around yet.

I keep hearing that Fox News started in 1996, but I seem to remember that Geraldo show where he's got all the people arguing about something over satellite feeds being on back then...or I could be wrong. I barely ever see Fox News anyways, as I don't have cable.

5. Court TV

I wonder how long they've been around. I'm thinking that they either started up shortly after the OJ trial or were greatly benefitted by the trial.

7. Yeah, I did see some coverage on that.

I remember we had a computer lab in college where you could view a TV feed over a computer and I think capture it (whooooah!), and I was watching the trial on it, and it was during this part I thought was funny because Kato Kaelin was being asked all these questions about mundane details of his trip to McDonald's with OJ, and like the last one was "And you're sure it wasn't Burger King?"

I remember seeing someone selling O.J. Simpson pogs as well.

No pogs though; the ones I saw had actual photographs of the "cast of characters" in the OJ trial.

12. That was the worst outcome that I have ever experienced in a trial....

and it happened right here in my county of Los Angeles...People still discuss it, with sorrow and rage...
