PODCAST – In the fifth episode of the mini-series Scandals dedicated to the events that rocked the world of sports, we revisit the crazy trial and spectacular fate of an American football star who died in early April.
OJ Simpson died on April 10, 2024 in Las Vegas at the age of 76, leaving behind a very controversial figure in American history. To understand, you need to go back thirty years. In 1994, the year we opened the Channel Tunnel, we were going to see The mask And pulp fiction in cinemas and we all wore lycra when we listened The rhythm of the night About Corona on the radio. At the same time, American football star OJ Simpson was arrested and charged with the double murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and friend Ronald Goldman, writing the opening lines of one of the most interesting criminal cases.
In this podcast mini-series Scandals dedicated to the events that marred the world of sports, journalist Camille Maestracci looks at the circumstances of the crime, but also the wild trial and the spectacular acquittal of the man nicknamed “Juice”.
