Ahm, it wasn't money that influenced the OJ case, it was, race, coupled with
incompetence on the side of the prosecution.
Now if Reiser had kept his mouth shut he might have just been acquitted. He
had a good attorney, that attorney gave him sound advise and he chose
to ignore it anyways.
I also believe if he had confessed to what happened he would have received
manslaughter, though after the cover up he would have gotten the max
sentence plus obstruction of justice and God knows what else, but still less
than first degree.

The fact that he could be convicted with little to no real evidence, but
someone like O.J. Simpson could be acquitted with what seemed like a smoking
gun still in his hands just shows how money makes the law go away in the US.
