SIMPSON WAS ACQUITTED ON THIS DAY IN 1995

Today in photo history - 1995: O.J. Simpson acquitted of double murder

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.
