O.J. Simpson could face the rest of his life behind bars. That will be the judge's decision, but it was in the hands on 12 jurors to find him guilty. Seven of those jurors are now speaking out about how they came up with the verdict.

News 3's Hetty Chang reports that the jurors say they based much of their decision on the audio recordings. Without the tapes, this would have been a very weak case for the prosecution.

The defense teams were quick to point to jury bias because some of them said they did not agree with Simpson's murder acquittal. Seven jurors have therefore decided to speak out publicly because they say they wanted to give their side of the story.

The jurors insist each of them were able to put opinions aside - saying that it wasn't one single piece of evidence, but instead a combination of several recordings that led them to the guilty verdict.

"We honestly felt that we couldn't rely on testimony," says juror Michelle Lyons. "There was not one decision that was based on witness testimony."

The 26-page juror questionnaire from the case shows mixed opinions about Simpson's acquittal of murder. According to the questionnaire, the jury was largely made up of middle-aged people who claimed to pay little or no attention to Simpson's past legal troubles.

However, five of the 12 jurors wrote that they disagreed with the 1995 verdict - the one that cleared Simpson in the death of his ex-wife Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

One juror, a 36-year-old woman, wrote, "I disagree with the verdict. I think the police/prosecution in the case made errors."

Another juror, a 62-year-old woman, did agree with the outcome of the civil trial that found Simpson liable for the deaths. She wrote, "It may have given the victims' families some satisfaction."

Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, expressed his frustration with the jury selection process right after the verdict was read.

"Quite frankly, they were horrifying," says Galanter. "And as good of a job as we did trying to weed out people who had very fixed opinions, with this pool, it was just a difficult process."

Every juror is looking forward to returning to their normal lives. The judge has set a sentencing date of December 5 for both Simpson and his co-defendant C.J. Stewart.
