History

Historical Context

On October 3, 1995 the O.J. Simpson criminal trial ended in a not-guilty verdict, prompting massive media focus on celebrity justice and a 1997 civil judgment that awarded $33.5 million to the victims’ families. That pattern reappears as actress Lori Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli, convicted in the 2020 college-admissions bribery scheme, filed for divorce, underscoring continued public scrutiny of high-profile scandals.
