[chains rattling]
[door opens]
Today's the day.
-How do I look? -Like a star.
Now, we don't know what Ito's going to allow,
but we know Marcia's going to go crazy.
So, if you get a chance to start talking, don't you stop.
Let's go.
Mr. Cochran, it is my understanding
that you have discussed with your client his right to testify?
Yes, Your Honor.
Mr. Simpson is waiving his right.
But if the court pleases,
he would like to make a brief statement regarding the waiver.
Your Honor, the People object to the defendant making any statement
other than the waiver at this time.
Counsel, he's not before the jury.
Yes, but we're all aware of the realities of this case.
The problem with conjugal visits and telephone calls
that are only monitored on one side.
This is an obvious attempt by the defense
to get material to the jury that has not been admitted in court.
It is inappropriate and deliberate.
I strongly urge the court to exercise control
and not permit testimony without cross-examination.
Please, Your Honor. Don't do this.
My goodness! There's a great deal of fear of the truth in this case.
Your Honor, this is still America. Can we still talk?
All right, go ahead, Mr. Simpson. Briefly.
Good morning, Your Honor.
As much as I'd like to address some of the misrepresentations
made about myself and my Nicole,
concerning our life together,
lam mindful of the mood and the stamina of this jury.
I am confident, a lot more it seems than Miss Clark,
about their integrity.
And that they will ﬁnd, as it now stands,
that I did not and could not
and would not commit this crime.
l have four kids.
Two kids I haven't seen in a year.
And every week they ask me, "Dad, when are you coming home?
How much longer?"
-All right. -I just want this trial to be over.
-All right, thank you, Mr. Simpson. -Thank you, Your Honor.
You wanna address misrepresentations about you and Nicole,
take a seat in the blue chair and we can have a discussion.
[clears throat]
Mr. Cochran, does the defense plan on calling any further witnesses?
[music intensiﬁes]
We have ten jurors.
We have nine.
We have ten.
And there's that friggin' demon. She hates me.
I've gotten that look from all my ex-wives.
[chuckles]
Jesus! You and that demon!
What did she ever do to you?
What's up?
Johnnie just got another death threat.
Death threat? How many has he gotten?
-|t's up to 20 now. -What?
It's scary. Johnnie needs protection.
I'm gonna insist he hire someone.
"If the glove's too small, easy call.
If the gloves don't ﬁt..."
[clamoring]
[man] Today, the trial of the century reaches a crescendo
as closing statements begin.
Vegas odds-makers are offering six to ﬁve in favor of conviction.
-Marcia. -Yeah?
Please nail this.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are coming close to the end, I promise.
And I want you all to know how much I appreciate what you're doing here
for justice.
And to thank you all from the bottom of my heart
for the incredible sacrifices that you've made.
Thank you.
I would like to begin by first addressing the issue of Mark Fuhrman.
Just to be clear, is he a racist?
Yes.
Is he the worst LAPD has to offer?
Yes.
Should LAPD have ever hired him?
No.
Should such a person be a police ofﬁcer?
No.
In fact, do we wish there were no such person on the planet?
Yes.
But the fact that Mark Fuhrman is a racist
and lied about it on the witness stand
does not mean that we haven't proven
that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
And it would be a tragedy if O.J. Simpson were found not guilty
because of the racist attitudes of one police ofﬁcer.
There is an ocean of evidence that has been unchallenged by the defense.
In an attempt to distract you from it, they took you through a twisted road.
One moment saying the police are bumbling idiots.
The next moment saying the police are cunning conspirators.
They threw out alternate theories hoping one would stick.
But instead of focusing on those distractions,
| ask you to consider the evidence the defense did not and cannot refute.
The shoe prints at Bundy were from a size 12 Bruno Magli shoe.
The defendant wears a size 12.
Hair from the defendant was on the knit cap at Bundy.
Hair from he defendant was on Ron Goldman's shirt.
The glove found at Rockingham contains ﬁbers that match Ron's hair.
The glove contains ﬁbers that match Nicole's hair.
It has Nicole's blood.
It has Ron's blood.
It has the defendant's blood.
The gloves are extra large, the defendant's size.
Here are photos of the defendant wearing the Aris gloves
at numerous football games.
When limo driver Allan Park arrived, there was no Bronco out front.
When he left with the defendant, there was now a Bronco parked outside.
A drop of blood in the Bundy driveway
matches the defendant at a rate of one in 170 million.
Nicole's blood was on the defendant's sock.
This was match at the rate of one in 6.8 billion.
The blood on the rear gate at Bundy
matches the defendant at the rate of one in 57 billion.
There are only ﬁve billion people on the planet.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is an identiﬁcation.
When the defendant was informed of his wife's death,
he did not ask how she died.
Think about that.
He did not ask how she died.
And then ask yourself, "Why?"
[Chris] Ladies and gentlemen, to grasp this crime
you must first understand Mr. Simpson's relationship
to his ex-wife Nicole.
It was a ticking time-bomb.
The fuse was lit in 1985, the very year they were married.
Officers responded after Mr. Simpson beat Nicole
and took a baseball bat to her Mercedes.
Then in 1989, Nicole had to call 911 again, fearing for her life.
When ofﬁcers arrived, Nicole ran towards them
yelling, "He's going to kill me.
He's going to kill me."
She had a black-eye, a cut forehead, swollen cheek.
In her torn bra, Nicole pleaded with the ofﬁcers,
"You've come up here eight times, you never do anything about him."
[scoffs]
And they want to tell you that the police conspired against Mr. Simpson.
This case is not about the n-word.
It is about O.J. Simpson and the m-word. Murder.
Now, I'm not afraid to point to him and say he did it.
Why not?
The evidence all points to him.
In February 1992, Nicole ﬁled for divorce.
She was running away from the man who said he'd kill her.
She saw the explosion coming.
Why else fill a safe deposit box
with threatening letters from the defendant, a will,
and police photos of past beatings?
She knew that the bomb could go off at any second.
And then it did. On June 12th, 1994,
while their daughter danced,
the defendant kept his eyes ﬁxed on Nicole.
Spurned.
Now, imagine this defendant in the Bronco.
He is full of anger and he is full of rage
and it is night-time and he is driving,
and the focus of his anger is Nicole.
It is 10 o'clock and he's driving as fast as he can.
He is out of control, folks.
The fact that the kids were in the house means nothing to this man.
Simpson has lost Nicole.
And he is upset and angry.
The fuse is getting shorter.
The anger is building.
The rage he has, the anger, the hate...
Flows out of him and into the knife
and from the knife into her.
With each thrust of the knife into her body, there is a release.
A small release.
And he stabs and cuts and slices until that rage is gone.
Until Nicole and Ron are gone.
He's a murderer.
He was also one hell of a great football player.
But he's still a murderer.
At the outset...
Let me say that not one bit of domestic violence is tolerable.
O.J. Simpson is not proud of some of the things
that happened during his marriage.
Does that add up to murder? No.
Mr. Darden talked about 1985,
but he missed the whole point.
Something interesting happened in 1985.
Mark Fuhrman responded to a call on Rockingham.
He saw a white woman married to a powerful black man.
He didn't like that. 'Cause he's a hardened racist.
Mark Fuhrman is the one who said,
"If I see an interracial couple, I'm gonna stop them.
If I don't have a reason, I'm gonna make something up."
So you have a lying Mark Fuhrman,
the personification of evil, who found the gloves.
But don't be fooled. This isn'tjust one officer.
Mark Fuhrman represents the entire LAPD.
Now, you may not know this,
but you are empowered.
Your decision has a major implication,
both in this courtroom and outside of it.
Things happen for a reason in life.
Maybe that's why we're gathered together.
Something in your background, your character, helps you to know
that this is wrong.
Maybe you're the right people at the right time to be able to say,
"No more. We can't have this."
What they have done is disgraceful.
O.J. Simpson is entitled to an acquittal.
They have entrusted this case
to a man who says he'd like to see all niggers gathered together and killed.
That is genocide.
That man speaks like Adolf Hitler.
Now, since you can't trust the man
and you don't trust the people,
is it any wonder in the defining moment in this trial,
when they asked O.J. Simpson to try on the glove
and the glove didn't fit. It didn't ﬁt because it wasn't his.
If you don't stop this cover-up, who will?
Send them a message.
Let them know that your verdict will travel far outside these walls.
Ladies and gentlemen, remember these words...
If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.
[indistinct chatter]
Well, that's it. Nothing else we can do.
How long do you think they'll take?
On this trial, nothing has gone fast. Could be forever.
Somebody hold the elevator, please.
I'm getting the hell out. Taking my kids to Santa Barbara
for some real family time.
Call me if anything happens.
-What if nothing happens? -Then call me in a month to say hi.
Well, I've got a speech in Laguna Beach.
A snack food convention.
How the mighty have fallen.
I'm flying back to New York.
Vacation talk? I need one.
Heading to the airport. I got a speech in San Francisco.
You know what I would do? If I had the spare time,
I would go up to Oscar De La Hoya's training camp
and I would spend my day sparring and hitting the heavy bag.
Bob, airport.
[door opens]
[clock ticks]
Okay, I've never been a foreperson before.
I've never even been on ajury before.
So if any of you have suggestions, I'm open to hearing them.
-Why not take a vote? -Al ready?
I mean, just to get a sense of the room, like a straw poll.
Yeah.
That's good, but the instructions say
that the voting should be done in secret,
so nobody feels uncomfortable.
So, why don't we just do paper ballots.
Just write "guilty" or "not guilty."
[suspenseful music begins]
Okay, do I have everybody?
All right.
Here we go.
-Anise, would you tally for us? -Sure.
Okay.
"Not guilty."
"Guilty."
"Not guilty."
"Guilty."
"Not guilty."
And... "Not guilty."
So, the tally is--
We can all do the math.
Okay, I'll just say it.
I voted "guilty."
I mean, look at all the evidence.
There is just so much.
And what about all the facts
that the defense didn't even bother to address?
I mean, just that alone-
There was so much blood at the scene.
I'd make more of a mess in my car if! spilled a milkshake.
Goldman had injuries on his hands, like he was defending himself.
Why didn't O.J. have any marks on him?
-What about the cut on his hand? -The gloves did not ﬁt.
Oh, now they did kinda fit.
Looked to me like O.J. was just trying to not make 'em ﬁt.
Why were they not inside out?
That's how they would be if he'd take 'em off.
Shouldn't there have been more blood
around the glove they found at O.J.‘s house?
And wouldn't there be blood on the leaves?
You can just ask Mark Fuhrman about that.
There's too many mess-ups.
Too much strange stuff going on in the thing.
You will never convince me that he did it without a doubt.
-Beyond a reasonable doubt. -Whatever.
All right, all right. Look.
You might think he did it.
Hell, I might think he did it.
But can we honestly sit here and say they proved it?
I will never ever think they proved it.
Never.
Never ever.
[phone ringing]
Yes?
You shitting me?
They have a verdict. You need to get down to court.
How can they have a verdict? They can't. It's impossible.
Oh, come on, you're kidding. You're joking.
Four hours. Four hours!
It's only good. There's no way a jury convicts on a double homicide
after four hours of debate.
Not even four. To ﬁll out the forms for "Guilty" takes an hour,
then they had a lunch break.
My God, they've discussed this case less than anybody in America.
[upbeat music]
[brakes squealing]
What are these people doing here?
Bob, you know I've been receiving death threats.
I don't take my safety lightly.
Especially not today.
You couldn't do this without the help of Louis Farrakhan?
-Robert, did you know about this? -Not until I got here, no.
Do you know what this looks like?
These are the same people who think that some Jews are the devil
and that my people have no claim to Israel.
-I had nothing to do with it. -I don't speak for Louis Farrakhan,
but I trust him with my personal security and yours.
How could you? You know appearance better than anyone.
How could you, on the day of the verdict, this verdict,
you arrive with strident black extremists.
Jesus, Bob! It's a secure way to get in and out
of what could explode into hell.
Just get in the van or I'll tell them your Jewish.
0h, bullshit! This is... Step back!
[Bob] This is just wrong.
[exciting music]
[tires screeching]
[man] What the police department has done, is increase the number
of uniformed ofﬁcers at the Criminal Courts Building downtown.
...We'll be prepared for whatever comes about.
Has justice been done in the courtroom...
By the time you all see this, you will already know the O.J. verdict.
Who's nervous? Is anybody nervous here?
[clamoring]
[door closes]
It's a big day, huh, O.J.?
The biggest.
Hey, man, ljust want you to know. Guarding you in here,
it's been a pleasure.
There's a lot of real assholes that come through this place
and you've always been a stand-up guy.
Thanks, Eddie. Blade me?
And l was hoping, before we go in, that maybe you could sign this...
For my kid.
Sure, Eddie, no problem. I can do that.
Thank you.
So nervous.
Hope I don't cut myself.
You know, I don't think you need to be nervous.
I've been talking to my buddies
over at the hotel where they're keeping the jurors.
Let's just say I don't think you need to be nervous at all.
[indistinct chatter]
[crowd chanting O.J.]
Four hours. How is that even possible?
Four hours? All this?
All of it, and they go into a room and they talk about it for four hours?
I thought I'd have weeks to get a statement ready.
Two statements. Now I got... Oh, shit.
I'll see you guys later.
Statistically in a deliberation, this fast spells "guilty."
Statistically, ! know, but-
All they asked to be read back was the limo driver testimony.
That... That sounds good.
Really good.
-I'm not going to say it. -Then I will.
Marcia, what if we won?
[gavel banging]
[sighs]
All right, can we have thejury, please?
[suspenseful music builds]
Thank you.
May the record reflect we've now been rejoined
by all the members of thejury panel and their alternates.
All right, Mrs. Robertson, do you have the envelope
-with the sealed verdict forms? -Yes.
Would you please hand those forms over to Deputy Trower?
And would you please return them to our foreperson, Juror Number One?
Madam Foreperson, would you please open the envelope
and check the condition of those verdict forms?
[paper rustling]
-Are they in order? -Yes, Your Honor.
You have signed and dated those verdict forms?
-Yes, Your Honor. -Thank you very much.
Please send them back to Deputy Trower.
Thank you.
All right, Mrs. Robertson.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Mr. Simpson, would you please stand and face the jury?
I would caution the audience
during the course of the reading of these verdicts to remain calm.
If there's any disruption,
the bailiffs will remove the persons responsible.
[horn honking]
All right, Mrs. Robertson.
[Robertson] "Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles,
in the matter of People of the State of California
versus Orenthal James Simpson, case number VA097211.
We, the jury, in the above entitled action,
ﬁnd the defendant, Orenthal James Simpson,
not guilty of the crime of murder
in violation of penal code section 187A, a felony,
on Nicole Brown Simpson, a human being,
as charged in Count 1 of the information."
[cheering]
[Robertson] "We, the jury, in the above entitled action,
ﬁnd the defendant, Orenthal James Simpson,
not guilty of the crime of murder
in violation of penal code section 187A, a felony,
upon Ronald Goldman a human being,
as charged in Count 2 of the information."
[sobbing]
All right. Thank you.
[clears throat]
Will you please be seated?
Ladies and gentlemen of thejury,
I am now going to excuse you from any further service on this trial.
The burdens that we put upon you were enormous.
And words cannot begin to express the debt that we owe you
for your time and your patience that you provided to us,
so thank you very much.
[clamoring]
[vomiting]
l have nothing to say now. Sorry.
[all] O.J.! O.J.! O.J.! O.J.!
[shouting and clamoring]
Twenty years in public service,
and I feel like my headstone will say, "He lost O.J."
[door opens]
[woman] They're waiting.
[Chris] I can't do it.
| just can't go out there.
We owe it to the families.
I'm so ashamed.
I don't...
I don't want you to be hard on yourself.
Yeah, because there are plenty of other people who can do that for me.
I want you to know I admire you for what you did.
For what? For botching an airtight-
For making the case
for the People of California, given what they threw at you.
There were a lot of temptations to play their game.
And you didn't.
We are all profoundly disappointed with this verdict.
But it was clear to me and to the prosecution
that this was an emotional trial.
And apparently the jury's decision was based on emotion,
and not reason.
None of you will know the sacrifices that this team
and their families have made.
We're very proud of them.
And we stand in front of you,
with our heads held high.
I'd like to give Marcia the opportunity to say thank you.
I ﬁrst want to extend my deepest thanks
to the families of the victims
to the Goldmans and to the Browns.
Their strength, their dignity and their support throughout this trial
has been a tremendous source of inspiration and strength to all of us.
This case was fought as a battle for victims of domestic violence.
We hope this verdict does not discourage the victims,
who are out there throughout this country, from seeking help.
I know there are women who are at this very moment
living in fear, living in violence.
Please, don't let this make you lose faith in our system.
Thank you.
Chris.
Uhhh.
If there is anything that ever motivated me throughout the trial,
it was the idea, the notion that one day I would have to turn
to the Goldmans and...
With the realization that he had been acquitted.
But that is the verdict. That is the jury's position.
That's their voice.
And I accept that verdict.
We came here in search ofjustice
and you'll have to be the judges, I expect,
as to whether or not any of us found it today.
But I'm not bitter.
And I'm not angry.
But I'd also like to thank the lawyers
on our prosecution team.
I am honored to have...
[sobbing]
Gil! Gil! Gil! You gonna look for the real killer now?
[car alarm beeping]
[car engine rewing]
[woman on radio]...a repeat of the 1992 Rodney King trial.
The scenes of violence that LAPD feared
might result from the verdict have failed to materialize thus far.
[man] If anything, what we're seeing, Tracy,
are people taking to the streets not to riot, but to celebrate.
What are we gonna do now?
[music intensiﬁes]
Chris.
Got a minute?
I appreciate how hard you fought.
Especially that closing.
This was war.
And you did a superb job. I respect that.
I know how difﬁcult this has been on you.
And when the dust settles,
I'd like to help bring you back into the community.
Hmmm.
I never left.
You think I don't understand the situation? I get it.
It's payback.
O.J. is the ﬁrst black defendant in history
to get off because he's black.
The people will see who the police really...
All that people saw was how well you can twist the system.
This isn't some civil rights milestone.
Police in this country will keep arresting us,
keep beating us, keep killing us.
You haven't changed anything for black people here.
Unless, of course, you are a famous, rich one in Brentwood.
[all cheering]
Look at what we got here!
Thank you. Look at this spread. It's so...
Last minute. It's the best we could ﬁnd at the market.
-Thank you. Thank you, darling. -Welcome.
From the very beginning, you encouraged me to do it.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
And to you, brother, the whole way.
To you all, thank you.
To you. For the journey.
It has been a journey.
-Hey, Johnnie! -Yes, darling?
They talking about you.
Oh, honey...
Come on.
I ain't gotta run no more?
Today that's a good thing.
I ain't got to run no more now.
-No more running. -Look at this.
It will be very interesting to see what this verdict will mean
for the future of the LAPD.
Johnnie Cochran has shed a light on long-hidden practices
of excessive force.
The Justice Department is said to be launching an investigation
of the standards and practices of the LAPD.
God, it's Clinton!
You got the President.
...in terms of the way the Americans see the world differently,
generally, based on their race.
That troubles me.
I think the only answer to that
is for us to spend more time listening to each other
and try to put ourselves in each other's shoes
and understand why we see the world in different ways.
And keep trying to overcome that. I would say...
That's the victory.
...we have succeeded so far
in managing the world's most multi-ethnic diversity...
Our story is now out of the shadows.
[knocking at door]
Hey, big time.
Did you see outside?
People are celebrating.
Celebrating the verdict.
I'm going to resign.
No, no. No, you can't do that.
l was ready to resign before this case.
Everything else here comes before doing the good.
The politics, image, career.
And it's not me.
Maybe you're lucky it isn't.
Maybe you have to have something inside you already
when you get here, something that you have to make right.
Something that you have to avenge.
When I was 17, l was raped.
l was raped in Italy by a waiter.
And | buried it.
Didn't forget it, just sort of stuffed it.
When I had my ﬁrst rape case,
what happened to me, of course, came ﬂying out
from whatever rock I'd jammed it under and I had to deal with it.
And it was hell, all over again, in a way.
But it made something very, very clear to me.
I have something, this thing in me that wants vengeance.
Vengeance for victims.
That's what justice is to me.
And I have always, always had faith
that when I look at a jury, we have that in common.
Everyone wants justice for victims, right?
I never doubted that...
Until this.
After all they heard,
after all they know...
A man who beat and beat and terrorized his wife
until he just snuffed her out.
And they let him go...
For reasons that have nothing to do with what he did to those two people.
I don't know why they were here.
And so, I don't know why I'm here.
What happened to the waiter?
Same thing that happened today.
So what do you want to do now?
Is it too early for a drink?
No.
["Feeling Good" playing]
J' Birds ﬂying high You know howl feel J‘
J‘ Sun in the sky You know howl feel J‘
J‘ Breeze drifting on by You know howl feel I
J‘ It's a new dawn, it's a new day It's a new life for me J‘
[vocalizing]
[sighs]
Bobby...
Bobby. Bobby.
Bobby.
Thank you.
You were always there for me.
You never doubted.
I got a surprise for you. You wanna guess what it is?
Something special.
First day l was in here you gave me your Bible.
I know how much it means to you so I want to give it back to you.
Yes, it does.
Oh, man. Bobby, we did it.
We won. My man, it's time to celebrate.
Get the hell out of here.
That better not be a Bronco.
I ain't going up the 405 in no damn Bronco.
It's a... It's a Ford Aerostar.
[upbeat music playing]
[man on TV] Live picture now of the van carrying
O.J. Simpson returning to his home.
At 360 North Rockingham...
[man 2] ...more than a year later, watching a white vehicle
head for the Los Angeles expressway, with an innocent man.
[man 3] ...We saw jubilation at the court house.
It will be interesting to see what type of reaction
he gets in his neighborhood. They have time to head there now.
It is oddly reminiscent of the freeway chase, the slow speed chase...
[man 4] O.J. Simpson returns home a free man. Not guilty.
This is the first time O.J. Simpson has been here
since February 12th, 1995. That was when the jury visited.
It's all so beautiful.
I've missed Brentwood.
So what are you going to do ﬁrst?
Well, tonight, I'm gonna party.
We got a real rager planned.
Star Magazine is paying $400,000
for the exclusive rights to take photos.
I'm done dealing with the trial of the century.
Tonight, I'm throwing the party of the century.
I'm back, Brentwood. I'm back.
Go back! Go back! Get out of here!
Go on, get out of here!
What the hell are they doing here?
I was found not guilty!
Some bullshit.
[shouting and clamoring]
[all cheering and applauding]
Mom.
-We|come home, Dad. -All right, man.
-Welcome home, Juice. -Welcome home.
Where's Sydney and Justin?
The Browns didn't want to bring them over.
Come on! Let's get you in the house, Juice!
Welcome home, brother.
[sobbing]
[knocking on door]
Yeah, come in.
Hey.
Hey, Dad.
-Hey, you good? -Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
It's a big day.
-It feels big, right? -Yeah.
What you got going under there?
Who is this?
Well, he doesn't have a name yet.
[chuckles]
But he's all yours, though.
Why the hell did you get me a puppy?
I don't know, ljust...
Just wanted to make sure you always had a friend.
[Barbara Walters] You've been called the architect of the defense team.
You were the first one hired by O.J. Simpson,
that was the day after the murders. Who hired Johnnie Cochran?
I did.
-You had to. -Johnnie Cochran was hired
not just because he was a good lawyer, but because he was black?
A combination of both.
Mr. Shapiro, you said in the beginning
that race would not be a determining part of this case
and you would not play the race card.
The race card was surely played.
Barbara, my position has always been the same.
Race should not and would not be part of this case.
I was wrong. We not only played the race card,
we dealt it from the bottom of the deck.
Oh, now he's trying to take it back.
Trying to get back in with his West LA. friends.
-Jerk. -No, no, no, baby.
That's the kinda shifty stuff
that makes him the man to call when you need that.
It's just Shapiro being Shapiro.
That's enough of that. Time to party, y'all.
Hey, Jason, call The Riviera and get my table for tomorrow night.

[music stops]
Okay.
"I am relieved that this incredible part of the nightmare
that occurred on June 12th, 1994, is over.
My ﬁrst obligation is to my young children,
Sydney and Justin,
who will be raised the way that Nicole and I had always planned.
Then when things settle down a bit,
I will pursue as my primary goal in life
the killer or killers who slaughtered Nicole and Mr. Goldman.
They are out there somewhere.
Whatever it takes, I will bring them in."
Thank you.
[light clapping]
