DATELINE on NBC. It was 25 years after the double murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. O.J. Simpson was the main suspect in those killings. Josh Mankiewicz reported and focused on the white Ford Bronco "chase" from police on the LA Freeway. The episode was called, "Dateline: Chasing O.J. Simpson" 2019.
I have to admit that I never watched anything on this huge news story (1994). I also never watched the court trial and the "Not Guilty" verdict. Interesting that I had other things that I was doing.
Simpson died from cancer on April 10, 2024 at age 76. Many believe he got away with a double murder. Since his acquittal in the 1995 Criminal Trial. He became a social "pariah" after being found liable in the wrongful deaths of Nicole and Ron after a Civil Trial 1997. He was ordered to pay $33.5 million which still hasn't been paid. Evidence was revealed in the civil trial that wasn't in the criminal trial. It pointed toward his "guilt."
In 2009 - Simpson was convicted of armed robbery at Las Vegas, Nevada. He served 9 years in prison and was paroled with good behavior 2017.
Funny... I was absolutely glued to "Dateline: Chasing O.J. Simpson." I missed it all and understood quickly why the "Trial of the Century" was wall-to-wall news coverage. In my opinion... The evidence against Simpson reveals his "guilt."
It will always be a mystery on the night Nicole and Ron were stabbed to death 1994. Simpson is now gone too and the real truth went with all of them.
