"We, the jury, in the above-entitled action, find the defendant Orenthal James Simpson not guilty of the crime of murder.”

At the end of a sensational trial, former football star O. J. Simpson is acquitted of the brutal 1994 double murder of his estranged wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. In the epic 252-day trial, Simpson’s “dream team” of lawyers employed creative and controversial methods to convince jurors that Simpson’s guilt had not been proved “beyond a reasonable doubt,” thus surmounting what the prosecution called a “mountain of evidence” implicating him as the murderer.

Orenthal James Simpson—a Heisman Trophy winner, star running back with the Buffalo Bills, and popular television personality—married Nicole Brown in 1985. He reportedly regularly abused his wife and in 1989 pleaded no contest to a charge of spousal battery. In 1992, she left him and filed for divorce. On the night of June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed and slashed to death in the front yard of Mrs. Simpson’s condominium in Brentwood, Los Angeles. By June 17, police had gathered enough evidence to charge O. J. Simpson with the murders.

High school. I followed the trial, because I knew Simpson as an actor. The not-guilty verdict was an insane scandal, only partially mitigated by the guilty verdict in the civil trial.

I was in college and I was in western civ. I remember the instructor saying that "it was a mere footnote in pop history and that a year later no one would even remember the OJ Simpson trial".😂

I was -3 when OJ tried on the gloves but I think the not guilty verdict was retribution for sending Kid Dynamite to jail.
