Answer 1

The neglect of contradictory information in the O.J. Simpson murder trial is evidence of the framing effect in decision-making. The framing effect refers to the cognitive bias or irrational logic of favoring choices based on how they were presented. Thus, the presentation of arguments in a different light can affect how people decide.
