History

Historical Context

From the eight-month O.J. Simpson murder trial in Los Angeles (January 24 – October 3 1995), where prosecutors Marcia Clark and defense star Johnnie Cochran turned DNA doubts and LAPD racism accusations into a not-guilty verdict, the legal system learned that media spectacle can sway juries. Today the Caleb Flynn trial invokes that precedent as courts grapple with digital evidence and public perception.
