Thirty years after it first gripped the world, this documentary returns to the so-called “Trial of the Century” to re-examine the case against O.J. Simpson. The film revisits the prosecution’s seemingly ironclad DNA evidence and the formidable “Dream Team” of defense lawyers who systematically dismantled it in front of a global television audience.
The program also confronts the complex narratives of police misconduct and racial bias that became as central to the case as the crime itself. From the infamous glove that did not fit to the jury’s rapid deliberation and shocking verdict, this special looks back at the trial that forever altered the public’s relationship with the justice system.
The OJ Simpson Trial: 30 Years On airs Friday October 10, at 9:00pm on 5.
