One of our most requested topics ever, we give you just the gist of O.J. Simpson, the murder of his wife wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, the Bronco chase, the crazy trial (including THAT glove), and where exactly Simpson ended up. This is a big story people, so we've broken it down for you the way only Just The Gist can.
(Content Warning - this episode features talk about domestic violence. Some support resources are listed below.)
