**Orenthal James Simpson** was found innocent on October 3rd of 1995. Some people still have the same question running around their heads, "how?". How did **Simpson** really get away with the crime that he committed? Was it race? Was it money? During his trial there were 9 Black, 1 Hispanic, and 2 white people on the jury. Meaning, that since the jury has a major role in the final decision, people think that the only reason Simpson was innocent was because the blacks wanted to be on his side. The significance of **Simpson** being innocent the first time gave him the thought that he may get away with many crimes with nothing but a small fine.But what would have happened if he didn't get away with it? What would have happened it he had been found guilty? Most think that maybe people would not get away with some things that they have committed. **Simpson** opened the eyes for many people, he barely got off the hook when it came to the murder of **Nicole Brown Simpson**. If he didn't have the jury that he had, he might be in jail right now for that civil crime. Another way **Simpson** might have gotten away with the crime would be the fact that he is a millionaire. **Simpson** got money from //photo shoots, commercials, moives, about 35 TV series and football//. Since he had money, he was able to get amazing lawyers to persuade the jury that he was innocent. Many celebrities in the world get away with murder trials just like this with barely a scratch on them. For example, they can get many offences on them but get away with only a couple years in prison when they should actually get up to 20 years. Therefore, **Orenthal James Simpson** got away with the murder of **Nicole Brown Simpson** because of money, and race.
