The O.J. Simpson Murder Trial

El juicio por asesinato de O.J. Simpson, also known as the "Trial of the Century," was a highly publicized and sensationalized criminal trial that took place from January 2, 1995, to October 3, 1995, in Los Angeles, California. The trial centered around the brutal murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, whose bodies were found outside Nicole's condominium in Brentwood, California, on June 12, 1994. Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson, a former professional football player and actor, was accused of the murders due to a bloody glove found at the crime scene that matched one found at his estate. The trial was marked by intense media coverage, with millions of Americans tuning in daily to watch the proceedings. The prosecution, led by Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden, presented a strong case against Simpson, highlighting the bloody glove and other physical evidence. However, Simpson's defense team, led by Robert Shapiro, Robert Kardashian, and Johnnie Cochran Jr., raised questions about the evidence and the conduct of the police investigation. The trial ultimately ended in acquittal, with the jury delivering a verdict of "not guilty" on October 3, 1995. The case remains one of the most infamous and controversial in American legal history, sparking ongoing debates about racial bias, police conduct, and the reliability of forensic evidence.
