o.j. simpson for the deaths of nicole brown simpson and ronald lyle goldman.t that the evidence was overwhelming. there is no doubt, this is the man who committed the crime. >> you're looking at a live picture right now. you believe that to be o.j. simpson down there below you? >> o.j. was a guy who felt like he was above race. he became the exceptional hollywood negro. he had a blonde wife. lived in brentwood. he played the role very well. >> o.j. is sitting in the passenger seat with a gun pointed at his own head. >> if the person that had murdered two white people was a street thug, it wouldn't have been this big case. but it was this big icon. >> we understand o.j. is in custody. >> you don't want to believe that this kind of person would have done this. >> how do you plead to counts one and two? >> absolutely, 100% not guilty. >> legal analysts say simpson's demeanor was orchestrated by his newly expanded legal team which now includes johnnie cochran. >> johnnie cochran was a hero to the l.a. black community because he had exposed police misconduct to afr

o.j. simpson's notorious run in the white bronco. talk to her talks about her complicated relationship with her father, and she charts her own path from local reporter to globe trotting foreign correspondent, running from her past. she also opens up about her struggles with burnout and imposter syndrome. her stumbles in the anchor chair and her relationship with her husband, rough draft explores the gift and curse of family legacy. examines the roles and responses, villages of the news, and asks the question, to what extent do we each get to write our own story? i'm sure the dinner conversations are fascinating. katy tur and tony dokoupil. thank you very much. thank you very much, amy, as well. and get this microphone to work. so i appreciate all your being here. people who suspect there might be bias in journalism. i can tell you that it is 100% accurate in at least one respect. this is my wife. i think she is one of the most naturally gifted broadcasters on television. i think she is a graceful and stylish writer. i think she has o

o.j. simpson. we have some other drawings, much nicer ones.wings that you did as you were developing "titanic" and pictures, drawings of rose and of her wearing the ocean, the heart of the ocean necklace. question, is it true that the person who actually, the hand that we see drawing the picture in the movie, you know, the leo dicaprio in that wonderful sketch scene, that that's your hand? >> that's actually me and i'm essentially redrawing the drawing that i had done for the film because i had actually drawn all of jack's portfolio drawings but the problem is leonardo, we already shot leonardo and so he's right handed drawing with his right hand and i'm left handed. so i actually had to draw a mirror image of the drawing and we had to flop the film to get it into the movie but i wanted to get the sketch lines to be the way i had done the drawing of kate. >> i want to show an iconic clip. >> i'm the king of the world! woo! >> you won the oscar for best director and you quoted your movie ending your speech with the life, i'm the king of the wor

o.j. simpson cause was an exception.ryone knew the camera was there and everyone knew where the camera was. i think it did a great disservice to cameras in the courtroom as it turns out because i think that the critics will a point when it came to the o.j. sufrps case. but that is also a long time ago and i think that i have not seen anything like that since where there's been a case with a camera in the courtroom where the camera itself has had an impact the way that did. and remember, the reason i advocate for it is because courtrooms were built for the gallery. the gallery was built to have people watch. random people. it could be interested people but just citizens who could come in and watch in a criminal case the people of the state of california or new york, the people, the taxpayers represented by prosecutors. we have a right to watch how they are doing and what they are doing. as a result, i'm a strong advocate of cameras in the courtroom but a realist that there are going to be, every once in a while there will

o.j. simpson's acquittal in 1995, he said, it's finally official, murder is legal in the state of california. the audience roared because they knew it was true but they also laughed because in saying something you got the feeling he said something he wasn't supposed to say. rumors squirrelled that they didn't want him doing o.j. jokes. he was willing to break the rules to tell the truth. so how can a network do that while calling moms pregnant people? in order to be effective at comedy you have to rely on truth, not ideology. cnn is sort of trans -- in that way. meaning they identify as truthful. but they still never really made the cut. [laughter] >> greg: remember what we refer to as cnn's easter when chris cuomo rose from the dead, from his basement. after being quarantined with covid just a week after fighting a cyclist. you remember this during 2020, a reporter does a hit outside a burning building while on-screen caption reads mostly peaceful protests. now, that's dishonesty, but it's hilarious, unintentionally. we could be here all night reciting examples from cnn's perpetuation of th

o.j. simpson case which became template for dna cases.this is not los angeles 1995 a select defendant and a celebrity dream team and distress cops as they did in los angeles in the aftermath of the rodney king beating. this is moscow, idaho completely different people that actually do have faith in government and faith in police gathering techniques. so you know, that's going to be an up hill battle for the defense team to try to convince these jurors that dna evidence isn't the accused. >> yeah. i'm waiting for that defense. i'm waiting for them tell me how he was there and what are those cell phone pings all around there. and why was he casing thes scene and i'm waiting to figure out who's the target and how he's going to fight that? you guys are doing excellent defense attorneys thank you for joining the program. thawnch. up next we'll hear from moscow community as they continue to take the first step towards healing that's next on cross country. ♪ breeze driftin' on... ♪ [coughing] ♪ ...by, you know how i feel. ♪ if you're tired of st

o.j. simpson used that one. to let that go. >> bill: the story that i saw this morning concludes with this line, nancy. another question remains will murdaugh testify in his own defense? is it too soon to answer that? >> no. it's not too soon. the answer is no. right now this jury is only going to hear about the two murders. once he gets up on the stand, the gate is open to bring in so much more evidence against him. trust me, he cannot control himself. he is uncontrollable. no lawyer in her right mind will put an uncontrollable client on the stand. the judge will make sure that it's put on the record he chooses not to take the stand. it would be a disaster. it would be a bomb in the courtroom if he takes the stand because he can't be controlled. >> bill: not to make this more confusing but we've spoken about this trial before over the past year. there is a case four years ago that involved his son, right? he had a boating accident where a 19-year-old girl suffered injuries so devastating that she died from them

o.j. simpson criminal trial became california's longest ever because both the judge and many lawyers seemed to relish playing for a national audience. one can argue that without cameras this week what took 15 ballots would have been resolved much sooner if fewer were able to watch. many representatives saw this as an opportunity to become household names, fund-raising magnets. but in normal sessions, they often don't want us to see everything. i was reminded of this when i spoke to my sirius xm colleague steve scully last night. steve had a 30-year career at c-span. he turned me on to this gem from 1992 when legendary house speaker tip o'neill shared his concerns about cameras with brian lamb. >> by the way, you know, one of the things people often miss is they think we control those cameras. the house controls them. >> i never allowed you to control those cameras. don't ever change that. >> why? >> well, you know, some guy would be picking his nose and scratching his fanny on television. it goes on the negative. always trying to downcast. they're doing a good job, and the american people l

o.j. simpson acquittal and 95 cents official comments finally official murder is legal in the state oidf californiared because they knew it was true. they also laughed because he wao saying something he got the feeling he was not supposed to say.ed rumors swirled some execs at abc did not want him to make ojeh jokes. he was willing to break the rules to tell the truth.ut so, how cah.n a network to that laconic mom's pregnant people? in order to o bebe effective at comedy you got your land truth that ideology. cnn is trans in that way. meeting they identify as truthful. but they still never really made the cut. remember what wes refer to a ci when chris cuomo rose from the dead from his basement?

o.j. simpson trial, where there were a lot of technical details and the jurors, you know, couldn't understand a lot of it. and, of course, it went on for so long. but this is he he he summarizes in a in a very simple way so the jurors could understand. so that was important. but the other part of this that's really important is the idea that the steamships which were supported by the steamship companies they had a monopoly on most of the commerce going west because they had to go go down the river to new orleans and then they would go out to the gulf. you'd have to get it off the steamship crossing across the panama or costa rica, get it back on another steamship and out to the west coast. so this commerce was being dictated. the steamship companies, they didn't the railroads. railroads could go east or west. and if they could go all the way across, get a bridge across the mississippi river, then they could go all the way to the west coast, which they eventually did, because of lincoln, the transcontinental railroad. so this was a critical kind of juncture in in our developing end that lincol

o.j. bulow. he also defended oj. simpson . bulow. he also defended oj. simpson. he's a bulow. . he's a professor of law simpson. he's a professor of law at harvard. and he said immediately that the accusation against him was false. and subsequent late mrs. jeffrey did remember that she falsely remembered and she agreed that she'd identified to him wrongly. so i think the lawyers of andrew are going to try and say that if she remembered , mr. dershowitz she remembered, mr. dershowitz wrongly, then perhaps she remembered prince andrew wrongly . and it all comes down to that photograph allegedly in the belgravia mews house of ghislaine maxwell, belgravia mews house of ghislaine maxwell , the prince ghislaine maxwell, the prince apparently having his hand around the bare midriffs of the 17 year old of virginia roberts with with ms. maxwell in the background, smiling . the background, smiling. the photograph, a flashlight photograph, a flashlight photograph apparently taken by jeffrey epstein. now has happened subsequently and this is interesting. you have in maxwell of course mich

he defended claus von bulow and defended claus von bulow and defended o.j. defended claus von bulow and defended oj. simpsone's a professor of law at harvard university, and she said that she'd been abused by him . and she'd been abused by him. and then she remembered, oh , no, then she remembered, oh, no, that she hadn't. he of denied it so forcefully from the beginning. and she also said at one stage that she'd been by prince andrew, not only london, new york and on this island in caribbean, but also jeffrey epstein's ranch in southwest theory. and then she . no, no, it theory. and then she. no, no, it was not the ranch. so i imagine his lawyers who haven't served him terribly well of these pr people throughout a whole saga of thinking that they may have some anger there to overturn this . as you say, it was a huge this. as you say, it was a huge settlement maybe 12 million b, 10 million, but certainly a lot of money. michael, if he was to return to it, he would he have to go into the witness box and would that go ? yes. well, of would that go? yes. well, of course he would . we must course he would. we m
