Millions of people across the U.S. watched O.J. Simpson’s trial for the brutal double murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.
The verdict that came on Oct. 3, 1995, shook the country and raised profound questions about the criminal justice system, fairness and America’s racial divide.
Initially released in 2005, “The O.J. Verdict” was directed by Ofra Bikel, an award-winning FRONTLINE filmmaker whose body of work exposed flaws in the U.S. criminal justice system and helped bring about the exonerations of at least 13 people.
This documentary offers an in-depth look at how the trial played out and what it revealed about the nation.
