Former American football star O.J. Simpson was charged with murder, triggering a highly publicized case. Following the discovery of evidence linking him to the crime, Simpson failed to surrender to authorities and became the subject of an extensive manhunt. This pursuit culminated in a low-speed chase across Los Angeles highways, broadcast live on television and watched by an estimated 95 million people. The dramatic chase preceded Simpson’s eventual arrest and the subsequent, nationally televised trial. The trial focused on the evidence against Simpson and the arguments presented by his defense team. The case remains one of the most remembered legal events of the 20th century.
