CUNY Professor Marc Lamont Hill posted on Thursday after OJ Simpson's death, saying that his acquittal for murder "was the correct and necessary result of a racist criminal legal system" even though he "killed two people."

"His acquittal for murder was the correct and necessary result of a racist criminal legal system. But he’s still a monster, not a martyr," he added.
