The O.J. Simpson murder trial captivated America. Not since the Watergate hearings had America been so enthralled by the legal proceedings of one individual. O.J. Simpson -- the former National Football League running back, actor, and sportscaster -- was charged in 1994 for the brutal death of his ex-wife, Nicole Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. But after a long, drawn-out, high-profile trial, Simpson was acquitted by a California jury. Court TV: The O.J. Simpson Trial, Vol. 4, part of a four-tape set, examines the verdict and outcome of the trial, which had an A-team legal defense, an L.A.P.D. detective accused of racism, and a pair of blood-stained gloves. This 60-minute video examines the highlights of the case, allowing viewer to reach their own conclusions to the ever-present question: Is O.J. guilty or innocent?
