It just happens to be a moment in time where the Juice has gotten a tremendous amount of focus.
What were the initial conversations that sparked the project?
So it came in that way.
We are the number one online grid for that genre in America.
The shows announcement mentioned Martin Sheen would narrate and serve as an executive producer.
How did he get involved?
He is very involved in it.
Hes been quite impressed, I think, with the research and tenacity of the author.
He will also be involved in terms of a voice over.
It certainly has raised real questions in his mind as to O.J.s guilt or innocence.
Its a good question.
Bill Dear claims to have found the actual weapon.
He claims to have an eye witness, who was never interviewed or appeared in the case.
He has different and not presented forensic evidence.
In that respect, its a new story.
Is this knife something Bill has already written about?
No one has actually seen the knife.
He has described it, and it is referred to in his book.
Is this a hypothetical knife or a specific, physical knife?
Its a physical knife.
So what is the overall objective ofOJ is Innocent?
I think theres a real feeling in this environment to take another look.
Most people feel like its worth taking another look.
It may convince you.
But is it worthy of another look a true, real scrutiny, putting it under the microscope?
Well, thank you for getting on the phone.
Is that a question?
Or just a thought?
I just think its an interesting take on it from anEWpoint of view.
