in los angeles. >> the black community pd as a hostile occupation force that viewed the black community with racist contempt. >> reporter: so it was the perfect time for that defense to be read.perfect time for that defense to be raised, that this is a black man being persecuted.o be let go. >> reporter: but o.j. simpson? for years he had lived on la's mostly white west-side. he spent much of his time dating white women, and seemed to have little to do with la's black community. >> reporter: i'm not sure he knew how to get to south l.a. >> that's right. to identify with the black community. what the black community understood was that you're being targeted. you're back with us. >> reporter: cochran knew that. and helping him were several other legal superstars like f. lee bailey, dna expert

professor alan dershowitz. they were known as the "dream team," but dershowitz had his >> i call 'em the nightmare team. it was a terrible, terrible group. we didn't get along. there was a tremendous amount ofind the scenes. >> reporter: but somehow they managed to come together and pick a jury, as simpson attorneyevealed to "dateline". >> we had done focus groups pre-trial and it said clearly n women would be our best jurors. they would know black men are treated by police. >> reporter: in the end the panel that was picked included eight black women.re so pleased because this was a jury that johnny could speak to and had spoken to for his entire career.erhaps the most thrilled of all was simpson

the defendant. >> reporter: the heart of the prosecution's case was all that ood and dna evidence which pointed squarely at o.j. simpson. but first, prosecutors detailed simpson and nicole's troubled, sometimes violent relationship, her murder. >> and in that final and terrible act, ronald goldman, anwas viciously and senselessly murdered. >> reporter: later denise brown ling account of how simpson brutalized her of her. >> picked her up, threw her against the wall. picked her up and threw her out of the house.tough to go in there and recount what you had seen? >> yeah, it was. i had just lost my sister.ng was just right there. i mean, just so fresh. >> reporter: prosecutors also focused on the timeline of the

the one who was standing by his care of me." >> reporter: kaelin told us he cooperated fully, and answered everything clark asked.detail a critical sequence of events before and after the murders from the trip he and simpson to those three strange sounds he heard at 10:45 pm. sounds investigators believed n returning home after killing ron and nicole. >> can you demonstrate for us how loud it was? >> somewhat, yes. yeah, go ahead. >> and where did that noise seem to be coming from? of the wall. >> reporter: kato kaelin had come to hollywood looking for fame. what he found was something moreting and ultimately upsetting. >> it was probably the scariest n my entire life.

could not be trusted. for example, a key blood sample llected from the crime scene until three weeks after the murder. then defense dna expert ounced on the lapd's dennis fung, accusing him and a colleague of mishandling evidence. >> there! there!w about that, mr. fung? >> the defense came in and just whittled in piece by piece, little by little. >> many people who watched the jury was bored by the lengthy dna evidence. >> put yourself there. and you're sitting there. you're listening to this stuff over. i'm not gonna lie to you. it was somewhat boring. >> reporter: boring, and resonating with the jury, whose silent expressions sent a loud message to marcia clark. >> the trial was a nightmare for me every single day. i had had so many days of going and feeling

it's over. it's over. there's no way. because, remember, i'm watching ay, every day. >> what was the bigger problem, the defense suggesting that, because of race, that the dna evidence had been tampered with,k then just too hard and too boring for the jury to understand? >> it was the former. it was definitely the race issue.he problem. the problem was the jury didn't wanna believe. and so at the end of the day, ne believe something they don't want to believe. >> reporter: but there was plenty of other evidence besidestion never showed the jury. like the police interview with simpson.ewell note and the ensuing bronco chase. those were critical lost tom lange. >> i had a problem from day one, because of evidence that they didn't wanna put on. >> and you'd say to prosecutors,"

worry, we have dna evidence." >> they didn't say that, they ied that. we kept getting evidence, getting more and more evidence. and they weren't having anything to do with it. >> reporter: but clark says she that the bronco chase, simpson's police interview and so-called "sucide note" might play sympathetically to the jury.r the most objective evidence i can. i can't go to them and say, "this is what i think." because any of these kind of nd that's a dicey move, the statement he gave the unquote suicide note that he wrote. so i had enough solid evidence without taking risk with evidence like that. >> reporter: enough evidence that even eyewitness skip junis, the man who said he spotted gym bag at the airport soon after the murders, was never called to testify.s kris jenner, who wanted to tell the jury how nicole feared for her life.

going to be murdered, do you that she knew? >> she knew. >> how do you know? >> she told me. >> what did she say to you? >> he's gonna kill me and he's gonna get away with it. >> you couldn't put her on the stand because, what?rsay? >> yeah, yeah. that would be hearsay. under the circumstances that nicole was speaking to kris jenner, we couldn't get it in. i would've been happy to put hertand, believe me. i think she would have been a great witness. but -- >> reporter: we've talked a lot about the evidence the prosecution could have brought into the case, but there was probably should have left out. it would prove to be especially devastating to the case, a which prosecutors probably never recovered.would ask that mr. simpson step forward and try on the glove recovered at bundy as well as the glove recovered at rockingham. >> that's people's 77. >> that was not my call. the evidence gloves. i never did.

>> reporter: chris was co-prosecutor rden. >> i was miserable from the moment that chris said, "no, i'm doing this." and i never expected anything good to come of it.ing i could assume at that time was, it's not the right gloves.they didn't fit. >> it was a stunning time, one that will go down in the annals of history, i suggest. >> as one of the dumbest moves or. >> ever. you never try a demonstration if you're not sure what's gonna happen.at rockingham and bundy don't fit! do you understand that? don't fit! and they can never make them fit! bye!ter: and the prosecution knew it too, just a little too late, as chris darden told nbc news in 1996. >> they shouglove expert said they would fit him.
