Outrage

The Five Reasons Why O.J. Simpson Got Away with Murder

By: Vincent Bugliosi

Narrated by: Joseph Campanella

Length: 5 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's summary

What went wrong in the O.J. Simpson double-murder trial? Former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi dares to lay bare the bungling he perceived in the case. Incriminating evidence was never presented and lapses in strategy left prosecutors Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden at a disadvantage. These are just a few of the fatal errors that led to a victory for the defense. Listen as Bugliosi weaves his own final summation, laying out the evidence in its proper sequence and forestalling or rebutting the ploys of the defense. Bugliosi is familiar with high-profile murder trials, his most famous one being the Charles Manson case, which became the basis for his book, Helter Skelter.

guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt.".

A well thought-out, informative, eloquent, and detailed portrayal of true crime.
This delivery is persuasive while including comic relief.
Bugliosi is the absolute master of the criminal mind, explanation and proclamation of information.

Pure genius.

Skipping

The audio kept cutting out and skipping through the book. I listen to a lot of books and this has never happen before.

Placing Blame,

Congratulations Mr. Bugliosi, this is the best take on the trial of the century. Your experience shines through on every page. You tear apart the Dream Team but you seem to have full awareness of Darden and Clark and their endless errors, poor judgement, and weak trial smarts that ultimately gave the jury enough to their part of this nightmare with a not guilty verdict. I had no idea the clear evidence that the egos of the prosecution chose not to share with this jury. They killed Nicole and Ron over again with laziness and poor choices, which sound from you to be basic trial 101. I also had no idea how much help they had which only intensified their determination to be part of the Dream Team which they ultimately helped with their lame choices. I know I sound a little pro defense right now, but that is not the case, you share information that shocked me. Information, the prosecution did not use that I - like you believe would have made all the difference in the outcome, no matter what what the Dream Team threw out. Justice was not served on so many levels. I applaud your book which is shocking, well put together, and truly identifies that THE TRIAL ON THE CENTURY was in fact a comedy of errors by all involved.

You Thought you Were "Outraged" Before!!!

Prepare yourself for all the details which outline why you should be even more angry about this case. It took me years to be able to face the details of this case again. There was so much I didn't know that it is outlined in this book. It dredged up old feelinsg and added a few more. A must read for those of you either believed in Simpson or not.

Absolutely fantastic!

I loved this book. It was short (I wish the author would keep going!), but the book was well organized, well researched, complex, and fascinating. The author thoroughly, yet concisely, explained why Simpson got off using great examples along the way. I could keep going on how much I enjoyed this book. While the narrator could have had more inflection and been more passionate, it didn’t really deter from the book itself. Seriously, buy this audio book if you’re interested in the OJ Simpson trial, you will not regret it.

Outstanding and compelling story

Will recommend to all my friends and family and those that still think
Mr. Simpson is innocent...

Vincent’s writing style in this book...

Had me chuckling the whole way. The way in which he describes the error and incompetence of the prosecution in this case, is really hilarious. Because he’s right!

Great Book on every level would put on must read l

Loved it Great book to read on every level would recommend this book a must read I truly do love audible books

one angry man..

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Or alternative title of how everyone involved was a bungling idtio and within 10 minutes i was smarter than all of them.


OK, he admits right off the bat that (1) he is very angry about the Simpson case and (2) he did not want to write this book. Boy are these two points obvious in this book.
His palpable anger and bias is one thing, but the narrative feels like it took him about 1 hour of preparation. This is not a book, this is a rambling diatribe. I did not even ever figure out what the 5 reasons OJ got away with murder were, other than everyone associated with the trial was incompetent, and that Vincent figured everything out after only 10 minutes of listening to the lawyers involved in the case.
I mean it is one thing to say the prosecution should have done this, but the constant self-aggrandizement that within 10 minutes i figured out that this is what they should have been doing is just nauseating.

Wow. Loved every minute of it!

What made the experience of listening to Outrage the most enjoyable?

I really liked the narrator because he read with such passion about the subject matter. You forget that he is the narrator and not the actual author. I also loved all of the behind the scenes information that was never told to the jury or to the public. And why not?

What did you like best about this story?

It kept my interest, expecially on a long drive to Las Vegas. I didn't want to miss a word. Understanding everything that happened in this case from this book was eye opening.

Which character – as performed by Joseph Campanella – was your favorite?

Their was no one character, but I really enjoyed his performance.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

What went wrong!
