naked gun movies. he gained fame in college, though, winning the heisman trophy while playing football for usc. nicknamed the juice. he went on to the nfl and shattered both rushing and touchdown records. as a member of the buffalo bills. all that changed, though on june 12th of 1994 as brown and goldman's bodies were found outside her la condo. simpson was an immediate suspect. and 5 days later he was ordered to surrender to police. instead, he led them on a slow speed chase down the 5 freeway to the 405, in that now infamous white ford bronco, his friend and former nfl player ac collings behind the wheel that evening. he surrendered at his brentwood mansion. the trial began in 1995. with an all-star lineup of lawyers nicknamed the dream team one by one. they dismantled the state's evidence claiming systematic racism and sloppy police work. the defining

moment came when simpson tried on gloves that were left at the murder scene. he struggled to put them on and his lawyers use that in closing arguments to show it couldn't possibly be him. >> remember these words? if it doesn't fit? we must acquit. >> shortly after simpson was found not guilty, he went to trial again for the murders. but this time in civil court, he was found liable for brown and goldman deaths there and ordered to pay more than 30 million dollars in damages. well, simpson never served time for murder. he did go to prison in 2008 for armed robbery and kidnapping in las vegas. simpson claimed that he was simply taking back sports memorabilia. that was his however, he spent almost 10 years behind bars. 14 million people tuned in as he was granted parole in 2017 at the age of 70.

amount of a motion and it's it's a big reminder of the era. >> yeah. june 17th 1994. was that car chase down this ia freeway. that white bronco. we're looking at some of the footage from it now. it really captivated the nation that think they're like 95 million people watching this on tv as it was unfolding. it was also during the nba finals at the time. so there was like split-screen coverage of what was happening. how did that event change the way communications media handles things like this, like nothing like that had ever really happened before. >> yeah, that is correct. this this was you know, a lot of folks point to the oj simpson murder trial as kind of the start of so-called is a reality television here you had cameras following are a celebrity through a trial and people tuned to to watch the whole trial and the verdict and the reactions and that signal to along the

entertainment industry that, you know, maybe we can take these people with some degree of fame and create programs around them. and so i think it was hugely influential in the way we think about from there on forward and the trial itself. you know, that's when we started to learn about the kardashians. marcia clark became famous. >> johnnie cochran, these all became household names. the coverage of actual court cases where we could be inside the room. that was the first time. anything like that. really happened before. >> absolutely. a lot of you know, were as a result of this you know, you mentioned some there, even, you know, witnesses like a tokyo and others became famous and it was a, you know, an opportunity to kind of break down that wall. lot of famous people were able to to hide a lot of their personal lives. but with this trial, obviously oj was not. and so was a big peek behind the curtain to james personal life differed greatly from the public persona he had created. >> would you agree that he's a

monumental figure in american history and american culture and how do you think he'll be remembered for us? we watched all this happened on television, but there's a whole generation of people that don't even know who he is. how do you think he'll be remembered? >> think, you know, the doj simpson story is kind you know, 3 the first act. is this a talented athlete who makes it into films and broadcast scene commercials like the hertz commercial. the second actor, these murder trials and the trial for the theft of the a memorabilia. and then the final act is he became sort of this almost kind of social media presence were oj would comment on the stories. he was a kind of leftover relic from the 1990's for a lot of people in the social media era. so he's he's a complicated figure. but i think what's what's kind of more important? the oj story is that he was always at the center of a lot of larger debate. so we're going on within the country.li mean, even his trial mixed. a

lot of questions about class years. this famous, wealthy individual in terms racism of the center of policing in this trial and gender. you know, let's not forget a lot of audiences learned for the first time about the pattern of abuse that goes from verbal to physical to murder through the oj simpson trial. so it was it was he was at the center of a lot of hugely influential that the change people's minds got a lot of important conversations going. cal state, east bay, professor of communication, nolan higdon, thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. >> appreciate your time. and we'll talk about our forecast now with a live look here at sfo. no fog from the shock. i was tracking the weather for us now and >> things are looking nice out there so far today. it's gorgeous. it's just another banner day they're going to have today. get outside for lunch, if you can, everybody. we're taking a live look from the east bay. you can see how beautiful it is a minute. take livermore is an example here. one of my east bay cities, you

can see average high in livermore about 68 degrees this time of year. but today we're looking out for 81 tomorrow will cool it down to 66. and then you see what happens on saturday. we get down to 55 degrees before we do kind of rebound. those highs back to about where we should be this time of year. another reason for all of that is a low pressure system that's going to roll through and deliver some rain. and it's also going bring some really cool air in behind it. so this chances of rain a ramp up late friday night. i do think it will be kind of the overnight hours and really things get going into saturday. and then the first part of sunday, we could have a little bit of that lingering before it clears out. but i think the 2nd half of sunday will be okay. if you need to make those plans to get out and about. so let's take a look at future cast here. there's that low pressure system rolling in. now friday, we just see clouds from this, but we stay dry throughout the day. late night friday into saturday. that's when this starts to roll. and then as i mentioned, it w ll stay unsettled until we get to sunday. and yes, you do see a little sierra snow coming with this, too. this spring systems got it all, folks. but by sunday later in the day, we'll start to see that clear out.

now, when it's all said and done, we're looking out for between about a half an inch, an inch of rain. it does look like some of our coastal areas, including a half moon bay. ca get a little bit more than that. and remember, that system is going to have tracked down the coast of those of you along the peninsula in the south bay will see it longer than others right before tracks away. another component of this is going to be the wind. now today we're going to be a little breezy this afternoon. so look out for that. but notice that on shore flow starts to change direction as we get into tomorrow in the afternoon, you start to see a southwest flow and then it turns off shore as we get into saturday and the wind picking up so breezy conditions are going to be part of this. so here we are. your extended forecast beautiful today, cloudy and cooler. tomorrow. rain rolling in for your friday night into saturday. a little chance of it on sunday. and then next week we get back to just kind of normal average california weather for this time of year. i'll be morning. now out of santa clara county, invasive species of mosquitoes has been detected along. >> machado lane in east san

>> who's asking for there's an allegation that one of the people requesting the recount associated with ricardo who actually would benefit from having a 2 person race rather than 3 person race. it's much easier. it weighs money. it's much easier draw contrasts. >> the name on the recount petition is a former staffer for sam liccardo name jonathan padilla. but look, camp is not confirming that only saying the final count needs to be accurate. meantime, a very angry reaction from evan los campaign. the statement from his spokesperson, this is a page right out of trump's political playbook using dirty tricks to attack democracy and subvert the will of voters. sam liccardo, who does not live in this district, did not file a recount himself. instead, he had his former staffer do it for him. what's he afraid of? think sandra democratic at all.

>> to ask for ask for a recount in and in a lot of races and there are mandatory recounts like a presidential. and then when there's no one squat about anti democratic. >> also weighing in south bay, congressman roe conn who said in a post on x, a candidate wanting to overturn the will of the voters is undemocratic. sam liccardo supporters should not push for a recount asking to overturn election results and district 16 when all other candidates have accepted them. it's a crash political ploy and it's why i'm with evan low. >> it's a tie. vote. >> yockey says if somebody is willing to pay for recount. well, clearly that's allowed by law. and he says there's a huge if in all this will somebody come up with the money they there been instances already. >> in california history where people requested a recount. stale that come up with the meantime, in this flurry of excited reactions. yaki thanks

a supervisor. some idiot is probably playing the smart by not really saying much of anything right now. >> jackie says that makes him appear to be more statesman like. >> coming up, when a pet runs away from home, it usually doesn't end like this guy with the story behind the animal rescue here and sideshows taking over intersections and even shutting down bridges and officials now have a new plan officials now have a new plan to stop illegal car shows.

across the bay area from the peninsula to the east bay, even on the bay bridge. >> out of the hundreds of people who took part in the sideshows of the weekend. 2 people were arrested. kron four's rob nesbitt spoke with the chp to see how they're tackling this issue. >> chp as a proactive approach to try to see of sideshows are being planned online and a reactive approach to send officers to sideshows in progress. talk to anyone in the bay area's was witnessed a weekend sideshow, though. and they'll tell you they don't understand why officers can do more to stop the cars. >> multiple bay area cities with the same side show scenes, cars racing circles. the intersections from saturday night into sunday morning, menlo park, palo alto mountain view oakland and lastly on the bay bridge were black marks are still visible leave skid marks that are like almost like permanency. you see it in the roads in one s has recorded multiple sideshows over the years for the balcony of a san francisco apartment. >> so much so that he made the recent decision to move to

mexico and only comes back to the city when he has to for work. part of the reason my left as i just can't i can't deal with us anymore. it's just the stress of, you know, a feeling like i have no control over my environment. during the weekend sideshows, chp says 2 people were arrested at the bay bridge and 2 minors were cited. officer andrew barclay with chp golden gate division says recent legislation allows officers to investigate and take later action. it doesn't have to be. we see it right there. stop them and take the vehicle. >> if we identify that vehicle, we can, you know, come in a couple weeks later without warrant and take that vehicles. officer barclay get several questions about why responding officers don't break up sideshows in progress. he says that's not always a safe option for law enforcement. very often. you're looking at. >> hundreds of people involved in these and sending in a single officer. i can be dangerous for that officer. says police officers responding to the sideshows he's recorded, stay too far away to document evidence.

>> wishing law enforcement would put more resources into not just responding, but also stopping the chaos in progress. i don't feel protected by chp these ways. and i don't feel like there's. >> again, like i it worries me of something bigger chp control this. what can they do? even though there were multiple sideshows around the same time in the bay area this weekend, chp is still investigating to determine if they are linked in any way reporting in san francisco. i'm rob nesbitt kron. 4 news. >> ac transit and the city of oakland partnering up to make international boulevard safer. this will be along east oakland's international boulevard corridor. 1.8 million dollars will go towards extending safety enhancements from 14th to 42nd avenues and from 14th to 100 and 7th avenues ac transit. the oakland department of transportation and the oakland fire department are working on identifying where to add these enhancements. construction is

its wake will leave some pretty impressive rain totals. you can see now parts of the peninsula. these models are kind of bringing this up a little bit higher. i don't know if i buy it. they're going to be quite that much. but i do think between a half an inch and an inch of rain about right. and then a little bit more possible for the coast. so the cool down, the rain coming through the weekend. and then next week we get back to some really nice seasonal, lovely california weather. a bay area. high schools receiving some national recognition. congratulations to the students of livermore high school for winning the world strides onstage heritage festival of music competition. >> the talented young musicians competed against 35 ensembles from across the u.s. and after 2 days of competing livermore's band orchestra and choir earn, 23 warts. congrats to and despite not winning the national championship this past sunday, caitlin clark in the iowa hawkeyes still made a huge impact on the community.
