The people vs oj part 8

This episode is the weakest so far but still a very good episode because of the strong acting and writing. It is mostly about the jury and how they are slowly going crazy.

It starts off with some jurors getting special privileges from certain deputies at a hotel. It is similar to chinese water torture in that slowly, cliques of jurors talk amongst themselves and over analyze every little action. We are given a glimpse into the living environment and see through a flashback that the jurors were actually excited to be on the jury.

For example, the black jurors were taken to ross and were given less time to shop compared to the whites who were taken to target and had more time. All of them are fed up with the 8months and going length of the trial.

They couldn't read magazines or books or watch tv or movies unless it was approved. There wasn't much to do in their hotel rooms. Judge ito decides to rotate the deputies as a way to get fair treatment for the jury.

Marcia gets fed up with how things are going in court leading to her plans to get potential not guilty jurors dismissed. One of them was only a juror to write a book about oj while another one took a picture with oj. Johnny see's through this and he fires back at marcia.

The last back up juror to be called up to bat ends up being a woman called the "witch"(if I remember right) and I think she'll have a big impact because she has convinced a jury to switch sides.

There is a minor sequence where robert kardashian goes to pick up his kids(yes those ones and we see kim and kourtney kardashian in the background), he realizes that oj is guilty and feels ashamed that he is going to get a not guilty charge. He cries in kris's(yes that kris) kitchen with her while she comforts him in a touching moment

This was extremely touching especially for kris who showed him a little compassion. The episode ends with some of the jury coming out dressed in all black in a manner similar ot a funeral. Judge ito realizes he's lost control of the jury and schedules a recess. The next scene shows a detective getting a phone call and him taking down a note that mark furhman is going to perjure himsel
