orenthal james simpson, not guilty of the crime of murder. >> o.j. simpson dies at 76 from prostate cancer. >> if it doesn't fit, you must acquit. >> the controversial legacy of the former football star who was acquitted of double murder in the so-called trial of the century.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." good evening. i'm norah o'donnell, and thank you for being with us. we begin tonight with the death of o.j. simpson at the age of 76 from prostate cancer. the former football star turned sportscaster, pitchman, and actor saw his career and legacy come crashing down after he was accused of double murder. simpson was famously acquitted for the brutal stabbing deaths of his ex-wife, nicole brown simpson, and her friend, ron goldman in 1995. there was never another suspect, and prosecutors presented 62 incidents of abusive behavior by simpson towards his ex-wife. the tv networks followed every moment of the case. it's estimated that 95 million people watched the infamous slow-speed chase along a california freeway, and many remember to this day where they were when they heard the jury's

not guilty verdict. it was a shock to the nation. simpson's fall from grace captivated the country and much of the world, but his legal troubles were far from over. he was later convicted of robbery for trying to steal memorabilia he claimed belonged to him. cbs's john blackstone covered the simpson case for cbs, and he'll start us off tonight. >> reporter: in the complicated life of o.j. simpson, he was so many things. >> police! throw down your guns! >> reporter: a major celebrity. >> perhaps the greatest running back of all time. >> reporter: a sports hero. a symbol of justice denied. a symbol of injustice in a divided america. >> o.j. broke the single season rushing record. >> reporter: he was the football legend who could outrun just about anyone. but what happened next was truly stunning. >> mr. simpson is a fugitive of justice right now. >> reporter: that riveting slow-speed bronco chase. >> this has been a dramatic story that has gripped this city. >> reporter: after simpson was

charged for the murders of his former wife, nicole, and her friend, ron goldman. >> worst nightmare of my life. >> reporter: the trial of the century, as it was called, galvanized the nation, every bit of it televised live with its parade of colorful characters, allegations of racist police, and that glove, the one prosecutors say he used in the killings, which o.j. to great dramatic effect tried to try on. >> if it doesn't fit, you must acquit. >> reporter: when it came time for the verdict -- >> we, the jury in the above-entitled action, find the defendant, orenthal james simpson, not guilty of the crime of murder. >> a split screen. passionate emotions from stunned disbelief to jubilation. especially in communities still reeling from riots born out of intense distrust of the los angeles police. simpson's first live interview after the verdict was with b.e.t. news anchor ed gordon. >> did you indeed commit those

murders? >> no. >> i certainly think he tried his best to change minds. i think at some point he really knew it was a futile position, that those who believed him to be a murderer would never change their minds. >> reporter: he may have avoided jail time, but he could never avoid justice. two years after his acquittal, a civil jury ordered him to pay $33 million to the victims' families. they received just a fraction of that. and then an armed robbery at a las vegas hotel. there was o.j. in the middle of it all, leaving with mementos he claimed had been stolen from him. >> i'm sorry. i didn't mean to steal anything from anybody, and i didn't know i was doing anything illegal. i thought i was confronting friends. >> reporter: but this time -- >> guilty of first degree kidnapping. >> reporter: he would serve nearly a decade in a nevada prison. his last years were quiet ones, out of the spotlight, but never far from the public's fascination, continuing to this day, of a life and legacy both

famous and decidedly infamous. >> the door turned on mr. simpson from being american hero to being arguably the most vilified man in america. >> and john blackstone joins us now. john, you were there. you covered that nearly year-long simpson trial. what do you remember most? >> reporter: what really stood out in this extraordinary trial was, you know, names like judge lance ito and kato kaelin. they became household names. and, you know, this was a phenomenon that consumed the nation. and then after months and months of testimony, none of us expected when after just a few hours of deliberation, the jury came back with a verdict. and then that verdict was read, not guilty. i think even -- even on those who welcomed that, you could see the shock on their faces, norah. >> john blackstone, thank you so much. we want to turn now to the weather with another round of powerful storms sweeping across

the southeast. two confirmed tornadoes touched down in florida today while the rest of the region is dealing with pounding thunderstorms, hail, and flash flooding. cbs's tom hanson reports it's all part of the same system that's now blamed for two deaths. >> we have a confirmed tornado. holy [ bleep ]. >> reporter: this homeowner capturing a tornado moving towards his neighborhood outside of st. augustine, florida, this afternoon. the storm sending backyard furniture flying across yards. overnight in tallahassee, police pulling three people from rising floodwaters. but west in slidell, louisiana, the damage far more severe. >> big, big tornado. >> reporter: after an ef-2 tornado with winds over 120 miles per hour blew through the city, ripping the roof off this apartment complex. today workers clearing fallen hundred-foot trees ripped from their roots. >> it sounds like a freight

train when it hits. >> reporter: terrified employees of eco builders somehow walked away unharmed from the mangled remnants of their building. >> within seconds of making it in, it took the shop. >> reporter: more than half of residents of slidell are without power. schools are also closed. and farther west in kirbyville, texas, several horses rescued from a corral. their owner using a boat to get tem to safety. and back here in slidell, residents tell us that they rarely ever see tornadoes, but cbs news analyzed data from the national weather service over the past 50 years and found tornadoes are happening more frequently and earlier in the u.s. norah. >> tom hanson, thank you very much. for the forecast on where these storms are headed next, let's bring in meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. watching a severe weather threat unfold across the ohio valley and the northeast, including the

threat for tornadoes tonight. areas in red tonight have a better chance for seeing some of the stronger storms. the threat for the strong storms will come to an end during the overnight hours, but still thunderstorms could cause some issues during the day, into the evening tomorrow throughout parts of the northeast. and then already looking ahead to early next week. seeing the ingredients come together. moisture coming up from the gulf of mexico. warmer temperatures creating an environment that's favorable for the development of thunderstorms. and already, norah, it looks like we could see a significant severe weather event here on monday, continuing into tuesday. >> good information. chris warren, thank you. the "cbs ♪3, 4♪ ♪ ♪hey♪ ♪ ♪are you ready for me♪ ♪are you ready♪ ♪are you ready♪ he needs protection that goes beyond. dove men with 72-h protection

washington. thanks for staying with us. at the white house, president biden held a first of its kind summit with the leaders of japan and the philippines. the meeting was aimed at forging closer economic and military ties to counter china's growing military presence in the south china sea. one flash point is a japanese island off the coast of taiwan. elizabeth palmer paid a visit. >> reporter: visitors to ishigaki come for its white sand beaches, laid-back vacations, and sunsets over the east china sea. but there's trouble in paradise. japan's self-defense forces have built a missile base smack dab in the middle of this tiny, peaceful island. 600 soldiers with batteries of powerful weapons have arrived, and some islanders aren't happy. >> for us, it doesn't make sense. >> reporter: setsuko yamazato was born on ishigaki.

when she heard about the base, she joined other protesters who fear putting arms on the island is asking for trouble. >> we feel very powerless, helpless. >> reporter: the people of ishigaki have reason to worry. they sit on the very edge of a war waiting to happen, just 150 miles that way across the sea lies taiwan. commander inouye well knows that if china attacks taiwan and the u.s. steps in, japan, with its huge american military bases, could end up in the fight, putting ishigaki on the front line. already chinese warships patrol menacingly not far offshore, staking its climb to islands japan claims too. [ speaking in a global language ] >> reporter: and far too close for comfort, colonel inouye points to north korea's ballistic missile launches. our mission, he says, is to

deter these threats. the japan self-defense forces, with u.s. encouragement, have been amping up their role with a bigger budget as a fighting force. the change isn't going down well with many japanese, including yamazato. she was a little girl in world war ii when u.s. marines stormed ashore on the neighboring island of okinawa. the american troops found island communities weakened by disease and extreme deprivation. >> you lost your mother and your sister? >> sister, older brother, and grandfather. >> reporter: yamazato survived and then thrived. she built a happy life working for years with u.s. overseas airlines as a flight attendant. now at 87, she cannot believe the threat of war is back. >> do you fear that having the missiles here will make this island into a target?

>> that's what fears me most. >> reporter: but it's a sad fact of modern life, says commander inouye. "probably a lot of people feel that way," he says, "but they need to understand global and regional realities are very harsh." harsh enough that japan believes preserving the peace means weapons of war aimed outward over the turquoise seas. i'm elizabeth palmer in ishigaki. back in washington, some long forgotten heroes of world war ii were honored at the white house. more than two dozen women representing rosie the riveter were awarded the congressional gold medal. they were among the army of women who helped fuel the u.s. war effort. michelle miller has their story. >> and we did it as fast as we could, but i imagine it took, i'm sure, half a day to do a whole side. >> reporter: at the age of 99,

susan king still wields a rivet gun like she did building warplanes at baltimore's eastern aircraft factory. >> was it hard work? >> no. the gun was light. it wasn't this heavy. >> this is a good five pounds. >> reporter: mrs. king was 18 and among some 20 million women credentialed as defense workers. ♪ filling the jobs men left behind once drafted to fight in world war ii. >> tens of thousands of women are already at work in aircraft. >> reporter: known as rosie the riveters, these can-do women were recognized through an iconic image promoting the war effort, sporting that signature red polka dotted bandanna. >> and rosie, i was a riveter, and i worked on the wing section of an airplane. >> reporter: but once the war was over, while veterans received ticker tape parades and medals, the rosies were ignored. only decades after the war did

their service become appreciated. >> why did it take this long? >> i think there are two parts to that. the first part is because they're women. >> reporter: historian gregory cook produced and directed "invisible warriors," a soon to be released documentary shining light on those even more forgotten. >> i don't think white women have ever gotten their just due as rosies for the work they did during world war ii. and then we go into black women. mrs. king is the only black woman i've met who understood her role and significance as a rosie. most of these women have gone to their graves, including my mother, not understanding her historic significance. >> reporter: mrs. king joins a short list of surviving war workers devoting the rest of their lives to educating generations behind them, including her own daughter, camille. >> did you have to put pants on? >> yeah, i put pants on.

but prior to that time, women didn't wear pants in the streets. >> reporter: the glen l. martin aviation museum in maryland has preserved that collective memory. >> we were making destroyers. >> reporter: along with another sacred sight in richmond, california, where 98-year-old's mary an sue day and gene gibson regularly hold court at the rosie the riveter national historic park, which sits on the shoreline where battleships were once made. >> you know, we lived in a time of history that has passed, and it was a good time to live. people trusted one another, and everybody worked together to get that war over with. i mean everybody did something. >> reporter: for her, it was a family effort. >> my two sisters were welders, and my mother was a spray painter. >> reporter: her sister pushed to recognize the rosies, resulting in an invitation to the white house in 2014 after

then-vice president gubiden got letter from her. more recently, there is the occasional celebrity treatment as jean gibson enjoyed at a golden state warriors game last month. but here's the takeaway. the rosies were leaders of change. >> well, it gave me a backbone, and you know there was a lot of men who still were holding back on this. they didn't want the women out of the kitchen. >> the one thing that i'd like to add to the change of their life is that i wasn't afraid to try new things after that. i got my pilot's license when i was in my 40s. >> i went to college, and i got my aa degree when i was 64. >> reporter: susan king did too, using her $55 a week factory check to earn a teaching degree. then her daughter followed in her footsteps.

>> in my mind, i was not a factory worker. i was doing something to make money so i wouldn't have to be a maid. >> they were some bad ass women. they were. and they were all raised to be ladies, which is a term that's fallen out of favor these days. but they were some ladies, but they were some bad ass women. >> pure and simple. >> pure and simple. >> without them of any color, where would the war effort have been? >> the war would have definitely taken longer to win. >> reporter: so when the rosies descend on the nation's capital wednesday, they bring with them the knowledge of their lifetime of san frervice. >> we must call upon women. >> reporter: and a revolutionary spirit that helped make their generation great. >> so why is it important for you to be among those 30 women who are going to washington, d.c. to receive that medal? >> i guess i've lived long enough to be -- to be black and important in america, and that's the way i put it. if i were not near 100 years

old, if i were not black, if i had not done these, i would have never been going to washington. >> that was michelle miller, and this is the "cbs overnight news." wowwww... this charmin ultra soft smooth tear is soooo soft and soo smooth, i'm starting to get tearied away! ahhh, thank you mr. smooth bear. designed with smooth tear edges, charmin ultra soft smooth tear has wavy perforations that tear so much better
