O.J. Simpson Murder Case
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson_murder_case
The case has been described as the most publicized criminal trial in American history
Now, don’t get me wrong, O.J. Simpson is kind of my homie. At least, the pre-murderous-rampage O.J. I went to USC for college; Mr. Simpson went and won himself a Heisman for his kick-assery on the football field there many years earlier. And how can anyone deny the genius that was Nordberg in the Naked Gun trilogy?
Side Note: These movies are a seminal part of my childhood. To this day, my brother and I frequently throw around an obscure quote from Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult in which Lt. Frank Drebin (played by comic mastermind Leslie Nielsen*), unsuccessfully trying to give the “signal” for his law enforcement contingent to infiltrate the scene, keeps repeating “I’ve been swimming in raw sewage… and I LOVE IT!” Ahh, sibling buffoonery.
Sorry. Digression.
Anyway, beyond this vague affinity for Simps, I was actually alive, sober, and in Los Angeles when the whole low-speed chase/murder trial business went down. (Don’t worry about how old I was. I remember it.)
But with all this Casey Anthony business today, the O.J. jokes were flying around like wildfire. And in this age of instantaneous internet clever-battles, you gotta know your facts to compete.
Consider this a refresher course.
*RIP buddy, I’m pouring a little out for you!
