The O.J. Simpson’s murder trial is one of the most iconic trials in American history. O.J. was charged with killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994. The trial was so high profile as O.J. was one of the most famous football players in the NFL during the ‘70s. After his talented sporting career, O.J. then went on to Hollywood appearing in both movies and on TV. O.J.’s second wife was Nicole Brown Simpson. Who he met when she was a teenage waitress in Beverly Hills. He began having an affair with her while still married to his first wife. O.J. and Nicole then married in 1985 and had two children. But in 1989, the shiny luster of their life in public started to fade. O.J. pleaded no contest to a charge of spousal abuse, and in 1992 Nicole filed for divorce. Then on June 12, 1994, Nicole, 35, was found gruesomely stabbed to death outside her Brentwood home in California, along with her friend Ronald Goldman, 25. O.J. was a prime suspect. At the scene of the crime, police found a shocking amount of blood and a bloody boot print. Police interviewed O.J. for three hours but didn’t make an immediate arrest. It was reported that blood stains were found later on O.J.’s car, which was parked in his own driveway, two miles from the crime scene. It was also reported that a bloody glove was found at his house, although his attorney denied that such evidence was found there. On June 15, police confirmed that the blood stain found at O.J.’s house matched blood taken from the crime scene. O.J.’s attorney withdrew from the case due to his close personal relationship with the footballer, and Robert Shapiro took his place. Shapiro told the media O.J. had been waiting at home for a car to take him to the airport for a flight to Chicago for a promotional event at the time the murders took place. As the investigation began, allegations arose challenging Simpson’s alibi, and separate funerals for Nicole and Goldman were held, with O.J. attending the former. By June 17th, the LAPD had a warrant for O.J.’s arrest. He was charged with the murders of both Nicole and Goldman. But instead of surrendering, O.J. went on the run. This was one of the most iconic moments of the entire case, as a low speed chase on an expressway saw O.J. in his white Ford Bronco desperately attempting to outrun police. Simpson was a passenger in the car which was driven by his friend Al Cowlings, and when O.J. was finally caught, he was found with $8,000 in cash, a loaded gun, a passport, family photos, a fake goatee, makeup adhesive and a set of clothes. All items which made it seem like he was trying to make a run for it. Meanwhile, Robert Kardashian, O.J.’s friend and lawyer, read a statement to the public from O.J., which said “Don’t feel sorry for me. I’ve had a great life, great friends. Please think of the real O.J. and not this lost person. Thanks for making my life special. I hope I helped yours. Peace and love. O.J.” This sounded to many like a suicide note. When O.J. Simpson’s trial finally began, America was glued to the TV, watching and absorbing every second of the saga. The trial lasted eight months and included a damning amount of DNA evidence suggesting O.J.’s guilt. This included the blood found on O.J.’s car that matched the crime scene and Nicole’s blood on O.J.’s socks. But when super lawyer Johnnie Cochran joined O.J.’s team the defense fought back hard. O.J.’s defense alleged that crime scene evidence had been contaminated by poor and biased detective work and relied heavily on a video of one of the police, Mark Fuhrman, making racists remarks and slurs. Fuhrman was later indicted for perjury; having told the court under oath he hadn’t used those racist slurs in ten years. The case followed the Rodney King riots, and Cochran bought the same race politics into the courtroom to suggest that O.J. had been set up by racist police. Meanwhile, a glove found at the crime scene, and the matching one found at O.J.’s estate, provided yet more doubt for the defense team to lean on. When Simpson was asked to try on the glove during trial, another iconic moment emerged when that glove didn’t fit. Prosecutors said the amount of blood soaked
