OJ Effect
The preconception that any person who is acquitted of a crime who also has fame and/or vast financial means was really guilty. In other words, all rich/famous people use their money/status to essentially "buy" a "not guilty" verdict. Derived from the popular notion that OJ Simpson was actually guilty but got off because of his status as an NFL & film star and his means to hire high-profile lawyers like Johnnie Cochran and Robert Shapiro.
