I appreciate that this may apply to a smaller (more senior) segment of the GFY community, but I have recently started re-watching the court recordings of the entire OJ Simpson Murder Trial from preliminary hearing to the final verdict.

I remember watching this in real time from work when it was all going on. It truly was an historic criminal trial.

It's interesting replaying all the courtroom drama and comparing what I was thinking during the trial, about the verdict, and now, with all we know, watching the same lawyers, OJ, and the witness testimony.

Even in Canada, many people were divided on guilt/innocence - you could hear my whole office building roar with mumbles and cheers (and jeers) when the criminal trial verdict was announced.

This event was even more surreal for me because I happened to be in Santa Monica during the time of the civil trial against OJ Simpson, put forward by the Goldman family, and of all coincidences, when I stepped out of the hotel I was staying in, next to the Courthouse building, I passed the Goldman team, apparently getting ready for a new day of court.

Who else here remembers and has been impacted by the OJ Simpson case?

BTW, watching or listening to the trial is also an interesting way to gain insight into what 10 million dollars buys in the way of legal defense. From the first hour of the preliminary hearing OJ's lawyers were throwing up non-stop obstacles and barriers to every bit of evidence collected and to be collected.
