The O.J. Simpson Trial was a highly publicized criminal case in the mid-1990s involving former football star O.J. Simpson, who was accused of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. The trial began in 1994 and lasted for nearly a year, capturing national attention due to its sensational nature and the involvement of celebrity figures. The trial featured extensive media coverage, with live broadcasts and daily updates. The defense team, known as the "Dream Team," argued that the evidence was mishandled and that Simpson was a victim of racial bias. Ultimately, in October 1995, Simpson was acquitted of all charges, leading to widespread debate about the legal system and race relations in America.
