Yep ,Ronald Goldman was totally just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Poor guy.
I have read Outrage, and I agree with you - great book!!
If you haven't read And The Sea Will Tell, also by Bugliosi, I highly recommend it, too. (As awful as that crime is, I found the story mesmerizing.)
Bugliosi was the defender in that case, and in the trial and book he spoke of a "consciousness of innocence" shown by his client.
Whereas Simpson's behavior demonstrated a consciousness of guilt, the defendant in this other case demonstrated innocence by her actions and statements before the trial and (I think) more importantly, before the crime was discovered; that her actions and statements simply didn't make sense if she'd have actually been of a certain knowledge.
It's fascinating.
