Explained simply
In 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered outside Brown Simpson’s home in Los Angeles. O.J. Simpson, a former American football star and actor, was charged with the killings and acquitted in a criminal trial in 1995; a later civil case found him liable for their deaths.
The case drew intense public attention and debate over the evidence, the police investigation and the fairness of the trial. A documentary revisiting the case can bring together people involved in the investigation, the defence and the victims’ families, as well as footage and accounts from the time.
The programme examines whether Simpson may have had help, a possibility that has been disputed and has not been established in court. Its interviews and review of evidence provide a new account for viewers to consider alongside the case’s legal history.
