Case Closed with AJ Benza: OJ Simpson

PodcastOne
About this episode

The 1995 murder trial of ex-football star O. J. Simpson captivated the nation. His epic and televised trial was one of the most notorious cases of the 20th century, marking the first time a trial received such intense scrutiny from the media. Simpson’s ‘not guilty’ verdict stunned the country and led to wild press about whether or not evidence had been planted or wrongfully withheld in court. Did the jury have all the evidence to make a sound verdict? Was the sports hero framed by the LAPD? And if O.J. didn’t kill Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman… who did? 

Case Closed with AJ Benza is part of the Dark Hollywood collection in The REELZ Files. New podcasts drop each Thursday. Next week, AJ Benza separates fact from fiction in what led to Princess Diana’s death.
