“If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit!” The clever quips of Defense Attorney Johnnie Cochran and his meticulously planned defense for his client, OJ Simpson, are on full display in the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Lance Ito during the Spring and Summer of 1995. In Part 2 of our dive into the case of the People vs. OJ Simpson, we will focus on the trial with its larger-than-life testimony, shocking cross-examination, and a polarizing verdict as well as the lasting legacy of the case on American history.

This is part of a two-part series.
