Juliette Gordon Low
(October 31, 1860 – January 17, 1927)
Juliette Gordon Low was the founder of Girl Scouts
of the USA. Inspired by the work of Lord Baden-Powell,
founder of Scout Movement, she joined the Girl Guide
movement in England, forming her own group of Girl
Guides there in 1911.
In 1912 she returned to the States, and the same year
established the first U.S. Girl Guide troop in Savannah,
Georgia. In 1915, the United States’ Girl Guides became
known as the Girl Scouts, and Juliette Gordon Low was
fhe first ever leader. She remained active until the time
of her death.
At the end of a sensational trial, former football star O.J. Simpson
was acquitted October 3, 1995 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.
