Increasing Power and Effect Size through Motive
The prosecution also attempted to introduce a motive, thus increasing power through increases in sample size (more testimony, evidence) and effect size (providing more salience to the evidence, theory).
Linking All the Evidence
The goal for the prosecution was to prove that all the evidence linking OJ to the murders was not just coincidental or due to chance...that the evidence provided a strong enough link between OJ and the murders...that the evidence was not just circumstancial...that the jury would be making a Type II error if they did not return a guilty verdict...
...While Marcia and Chris made a strong argument for their theory, the defense had a few tricks up their sleeve....
