History

Historical Context

The 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial, run from January to October 1995, ended with a 9-3 not-guilty verdict from a 12-person jury that included nine Black jurors and drew an estimated 100 million viewers. That racially split outcome, amplified by the LAPD’s recent misconduct, now echoes in the Lindsay Clancy case, where Kevin Reddington cites double-jeopardy and Governor Ron DeSantis has offered asylum.
