The June 12 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman sparked a police investigation still tainted by the 1991 Rodney King beating and 1992 LA riots. From January to October 1995, O.J. Simpson faced the “Dream Team” defense led by Johnnie Cochran against prosecutors Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden; the not-guilty verdict was watched by roughly 100 million viewers.
