I think this falls under Occam's Razor. What's the theory with the least amount of assumptions? That's the one that is most likely correct. You have to assume so many things to think that Jason did it. Not so with O.J. - he had motive, he had the abusive past, his blood is at the scene, the limo driver didn't see his Bronco at the estate, then suddenly it's there, and he sees a shadowy figure go to his house, he says he overslept, he wouldn't let Park handle the bag, and so on and so on. You have to start inserting assumptions to fend off all of this evidence and say Jason did it instead - there are just too many to count.
What would Occam say? What's the likeliest scenario?

Not only that, but Nicole DID call Jason either on the 11th or the 12th to let him know they would not be coming. Bill Dear implies that Jason was expecting them and they simply didn't show.
I'm sure that Jason was disappointed, but I don't buy this as a motive for murder. O. J. was the one with motive and opportunity.

Yeah it's extremely unlikely as a motive. Let's face it - O.J. had let Jason down countless times because of his busy schedule (although he always seemed to find time for women). One has to wonder why he never tried to kill O.J. if that is something that would make him snap. Heck, if that bugged him so much, he might have killed O.J. in his sleep.
But he didn't. And as others have pointed out, he seemed to have a good relationship with Nicole. Is there anything in the diaries saying he hated Nicole? The anger seemed to be towards his father.
Meanwhile, if a person is murdered, and they were in a relationship where the spouse was physically abusing them, the percentages are high that the spouse was the killer. I believe in 1994 it was higher than 90 percent but not positive about that. I thought I remember hearing that during the course of the trial.

Well, if Jason did kill Nicole and Ron over a cancelled dinner reservation, I will never eat at his restaurant ever !!!! Can you imagine if I sent back an undercooked steak ??? haha
This show was a complete waste of time... Bill Dear should be interviewed by respectable journalists with hard questions, and then let's hear the answers without paid 'investigators' nodding approval and fawning interest... haha
