The trial was one of the most watched and discussed of the 20th century. Twenty-five years after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, the criminal trial, which resulted in the acquittal of former football star O.J. Simpson, still has the power to fascinate, shock and divide us. For this reason, the editors at People now present this special edition, ‘True Crime Stories: The Trial of O.J. Simpson.’ The in-depth look at the tale America can’t stop telling begins with “The Crime,” a brutal double homicide, from the first police officers on the scene to the freeway chase that ensued when Simpson, the only suspect, refused to turn himself in. Revisit in new detail “The Trial,” traveling “Inside Lance Ito’s Courtroom” to examine “The Prosecution,” their plan “When the Gloves Come Off, and “The Defense” that turned this strategy in their favor and spun alternative narratives of the murders. Also, consider the “Media Circus,” the span and scope of which had rarely if ever been seen. Then, “The Aftermath.” Remember “The Joy in Life” had by Nicole Brown Simpson, the children that survived her, and Ron Goldman, a young man “Full of Promise.” Compare and contrast “The Civil Suit” wherein Simpson was found liable for the two deaths. Analyze Simpson’s life after the trial, including the “Bust in Vegas” that landed him a nine-year jail sentence, and his eventual life of comfort, “Free to Be O.J.” Lastly, examine the wider implications of America’s racial divide, the role of wealth in our legal system, and the importance of this massive cultural event in terms of “Domestic Violence: What to Know.” Please note that this product is an authorized edition published by the Meredith Corporation and sold by Amazon.
