The "trial of the century" came to a close on this day in history, Oct. 3, 1995, with the acquittal of Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson for two counts of murder. Simpson's acquittal came nine months after the trial began — and about 16 months after Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman, were found brutally murdered outside her home in Los Angeles.
The acquittal of the former NFL star-turned-actor-and-broadcaster in the slayings marked the end of a legal process that played out largely on television for the world to see. Early in the morning of June 13, 1994, Brown Simpson and Goldman's bodies were discovered.
The two had been stabbed. On June 17, 1994, four days later, Simpson and his friend Al Cowlings led police on a low-speed 90-minute chase through Los Angeles in a white Ford Bronco.
That car chase was one of the most-watched television moments of the decade, interrupting even the NBA Finals.
An estimated 100 million people nationwide tuned in to watch or listen to the verdict announcement, according to reports. Simpson was then arrested and charged with the murders. On June 21, 1994, Simpson was arraigned and pled not guilty.
The trial was broadcast on television, with the lawyers and judges becoming celebrities throughout the proceedings. Simpson's lawyer, Johnnie Cochran, worked to sow doubt in the minds of the jury that his client was guilty. DNA evidence, which was used heavily throughout the trial, was still a relatively unknown technology at the time.
