Another broken sentence that needs rewording[edit]
Before his murder trial, sportswriter Ralph Wiley claimed in 2002, White people considered Simpson a "unifying symbol of all races".
Should be - Before his murder trial, sportswriter Ralph Wiley claimed in 2002, white people considered Simpson a "unifying symbol of all races". 150.143.27.147 (talk) 19:49, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It should be "Before Simpson's murder trial." If one writes "Before his murder trial," the sentence reads like it was Ralph Wiley's trial. KevinScott71 (talk) 02:14, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There was a parody of the OJ Simpson trial in a skit where a carpenter is hired by a king who wants him to build a new bed for the queen and carefully paces out the dimensions of the bed on the floor of his palace. The bed turns out to be too small for the Queen, because the carpenter's feet are smaller than the King's, and the carpenter is accused of a math crime. Because, the King's feet are bigger than the carpenter's, his attorney is able to prove his innocence.Glammazon (talk) 04:29, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While it's true that he was convicted for the robbery, it's VERY misleading to put this in the lede even with a note, for obvious reasons. dekema (Formerly Buffaboy) (talk) 03:05, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, and I have reverted those latest edits. It's strange to have a footnote when it's already in the lead later. But the robbery was a minor part of his notability, compared to his career and his wife's murder. The previous lead had been stable, so a new consensus should be established before changing again. —Bagumba (talk) 04:40, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
“The internationally publicized murder trial lasted from January to October 1995 and created racial divisions in the U.S.”
The trial did not create racial divisions in the U.S. Those divisions might have became more prominent and played out more publicly than usual, but they existed already. I would request editing to end the sentence with a period after 1995. 50.47.201.32 (talk) 20:33, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote that bit originally. I meant rather that it created racial divisions like "black people mostly say o.j. is innocent, white people mostly say o.j. is guilty", divisions that legitimately didn't exist before the trial. but yes exacerbated is clearer Atubofsilverware (talk) 06:28, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
