The People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson is one of the most widely publicized cases in the United States. Its notoriety in the past few decades exceeded other notable cases such as the Manson Family trial, which took place in the 1970s. Various media publications have referred to this case as the trial of the century. One of the main reasons that this case gained this much attention was the high-profile status of O.J Simpson, a renowned athlete, and media personality. The trial was held in the Los Angeles Supreme Court in California and spanned almost a full year from November 2, 1994, to October 3, 1995, when the court presented the verdict. The actor and former National Football League were being tried on two counts of murder. On June 13, 1994, officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), found Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson stabbed to death outside her condor in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
