This doesn't illustrate anything. OJ was innocent until the second trial found him guilty, they just had a different variety of punishments available.

Neither of the jury verdicts altered the reality of whether Simpson did or didn’t kill the two victims.

(In Simpson’s second trial, the jury found him liable, not “guilty.” Guilt is the term used in criminal prosecutions. Liability is the term used in civil cases.)

There are legal forms of killing. It is only via the application of our legal institutions that criminality is decided. No specific act on its own is criminal, there is no Platonic Crime.
