At the end of a sensational trial, former football star O.J. Simpson
was 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.
