"Your verdict:? O.J.Guilty Yes/No?"
The quick answer to your question is "No-- as a verdict. But Yes as an opinion."
Your question is a good lesson from old news, and anyone who believes in the importance of a jury system should find that question compelling even today.
If I were a juror on O.J.'s trial, I definitely would have went with a "Not Guilty" verdict even where I might have thought he was guilty. Remember, "not guilty" is not the same as "innocent."
The American system of law enforcement and jurisprudence requires that defendants be treated fairly while law enforcement officers investigate a case and during a trial. The racist comments of one of the lead investigators, Mark Furman, put into doubt every piece of evidence he touched-- and he touched nearly all the key evidence and had access to the rest.
As murder cases are decided on the evidence, the racial prejudices of a lead investigator and evidence collector on the case created a substantial reasonable doubt that NECESSITATED that O.J. be found "not guilty" even where he probably wasn't innocent of the crime. Curiously, the O.J. case is not an example of a miscarriage of justice but rather an example of the justice system working as intended.

Innocent. It was his son. Take him to the rack and flog him within an inch of his life!
