you're absolutely right.

I know this show is being played for "laughs" (kind of), and biopic-ish works don't always deal in the factual, but that's pretty bad.

I remember reading something about Darden, an interview and how at first he was conflicted about even taking the case because of how he felt about OJ (the athlete) personally. he didn't know the other stuff. so the reluctant part might be right.

but he wasn't a newbie. Neither was Marcia Clark. really, IIRC the cast of lawyers in this story weren't newbies at all.
