0:01:10 > 0:01:13Gentlemen! Johnnie, I want you to meet everyone.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- You know Lee... - Johnnie, nice to see you.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- ..Alan, Barry Scheck and Robert Kardashian.- Barry.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20And we have Nate 'n' Al's. The best.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23LAUGHTER We've got lox and whitefish.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And this is Carl Douglas and Shawn Chapman. They're working with us.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Oh!- How are you?- Carl, Shawn, welcome.- How do you do? Nice to meet you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I just want to stress how honoured and happy we are
0:01:32 > 0:01:33to have you join the team.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Yes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37So let's hit the ground running. OK.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39First question.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Who thinks OJ did it?
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Me neither.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Uh, thank you, Bob. Why don't we talk big-picture strategy?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- I'd say our priority at this juncture is the jury.- Yes.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02We know we have a downtown jury,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04which means a heavy concentration of African-Americans.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Indeed. Black men obviously are our allies.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Mr Simpson, hero in the community.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11And I'm confident that people will assume
0:02:11 > 0:02:14he couldn't have committed such a ghastly crime.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17But black women, on the other hand, might be a problem.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20They don't like their men marrying white girls.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21SHAWN LAUGHS Is that true?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Why are you looking at me?
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Well, I...
0:02:25 > 0:02:28But I believe the generalisation is accurate.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Black women resent successful black men marrying outside the community.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34We need to limit that group.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35That analysis is smart.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39The prosecution thinks they have the upper hand, but they don't.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40- Because we have you.- Mm-hm.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And you know how these people think.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46"These people."
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Bob... Let me give you a helpful piece of advice.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56On this case, you need to choose your vernacular very, very carefully.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Mea culpa. OK, but the important thing is that we work together.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- When we face the prelim judge, we want to come out swinging.- Mm. - We concede to nothing.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05If Marcia Clark wants to go to the bathroom, we object.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07If they say the sky is blue, hearsay.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Nothing will be admitted without challenge and provocation.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13GAVEL BANGS
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Your Honour, at this time, the State requests
0:03:21 > 0:03:24a hair sample to compare to hairs found at the scene of the crime.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Excuse me, Your Honour.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27We have some grave concerns about this request.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30We would ask that the court limit this sample to only
0:03:30 > 0:03:33the number of hairs required for testing.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Ms Clark, how much hair do the People need?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Well, Your Honour, a typical sample, as I'm sure the defence is aware,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42takes hairs from each area of the head,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- five to ten hairs per area, amounting to approximately 100 hairs.- 100 hairs?!
0:03:46 > 0:03:50This is a standard request, Your Honour. It's only as many hairs as the criminalist needs
0:03:50 > 0:03:53to compare hairs from the defendant with hairs found at the crime scene.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- 100 hairs seems unduly invasive. Your Honour, we offer one hair. - What?!
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Just a second, Ms Clark... - Excuse me, Your Honour, but this objection is beyond ridiculous.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04They seem to be on some kind of fishing expedition at my client's expense.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Your Honour, this is routine. 80 hairs.- Five.- 50.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Judge, we're getting nowhere. We request a special hearing on the hair.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14So ordered. I call for a hearing regarding the collection of Mr Simpson's hair.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Thank you, Your Honour.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32OJ, you got a visitor.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Where's Bob?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44He had a dinner.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46How are you, my brother?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48"He had a dinner."
0:04:48 > 0:04:50You should've seen what I had for dinner.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I didn't even know what it was. It was slop.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56And then I kept running to the toilet, but my toilet's clogged up, so you can imagine...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58You have to be strong.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00We're going to get you out of here.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Oh, yeah? Is that what Bob said?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03No, no, no. That's what I said.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04OJ SIGHS
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Look at you. You are a mess!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11You can't walk into that courtroom like this. Everyone's going to be watching.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Everybody thinks I'm guilty.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14So change their minds!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Have you forgotten who you are?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20These walls around you don't change that.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24You know what you mean to people?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33OK.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Well, then, let me tell you what you were once...
0:05:39 > 0:05:40to me.
0:05:43 > 0:05:451978.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I just left private practice, gone back to the LA DA.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Going to be the first black assistant attorney in office.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Going to change things from the inside. Shit.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58That wasn't happening.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Same old shit, same rigged system.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Feeling powerless for the first time in my life
0:06:04 > 0:06:06and then my first marriage
0:06:06 > 0:06:08blows up in my face.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12My children won't talk to me.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I'm a failure at work, I'm a failure at home.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I was down, brother. I was way down.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Sunday, sitting on my bed...
0:06:19 > 0:06:20surrounded by dead-end paperwork
0:06:20 > 0:06:22and divorce lawyer bills,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25drinking beer - all right, maybe a little bit too much beer -
0:06:25 > 0:06:26feeling sorry for myself,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28watching a football game all alone.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Crappy TV.
0:06:29 > 0:06:3149ers versus the Falcons.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32What I saw you do
0:06:32 > 0:06:35on that field that day...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Somehow, as I was watching,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40it became as if you were running for me.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Driving up that field,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44crowded with adversity and obstacles,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48getting knocked on your ass and then popping right back up again!
0:06:48 > 0:06:50See, that's what I wanted to do out there on them streets,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52back home with my troubles there, but couldn't.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55But you, you, you...
0:06:55 > 0:06:57You willed what you needed to do
0:06:57 > 0:07:00into being with nothing but grace.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- I scored a touchdown that day. - You did.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08And when they cut away to the commercial, there you were again,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10leaping through the airport for Hertz,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14breaking another barrier with charisma, humour, intelligence.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17A black man as the public face...
0:07:18 > 0:07:21..for one of the world's biggest corporations.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24We lost that game.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I don't remember that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I remember everything else about that game, but not that -
0:07:31 > 0:07:33because it didn't have nothing to do with what touched me.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35And when the game was over,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I got the hell up off that bed
0:07:37 > 0:07:40and jogged the six blocks back to my office
0:07:40 > 0:07:41and got right back to work,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45and haven't stopped and wallowed in self-pity since that day.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47YOU did that for me.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Just like you've done for so many others,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52because YOU are OJ Simpson.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56YOU are OJ Simpson and YOU are an inspiration.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- I am...- You are...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- ..an inspiration.- ..an inspiration.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05That's who you are.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09You're a man who loves people, who people love right back.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10That's you.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11You're a fighter.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12You're a runner.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14And when you get knocked down,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I need you to pop right back up
0:08:16 > 0:08:18like you know you can
0:08:18 > 0:08:20and keep going, because this right here...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23This right here, OJ Simpson,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25is the run of your life.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47SHE SIGHS
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Come in. Come in. Shut the door. Shut the door.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Lance, why did you drag me out here in the middle of the day?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I've got some big news. Very big.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58They assigned me Simpson.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00SHE GASPS Oh, my God.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Yep, yep, yep.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Cecil said that they considered a number of candidates
0:09:04 > 0:09:05and that I was the best choice.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08He said I have integrity, an open mind and a strong backbone.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09"Strong backbone."
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I like that. HE CHUCKLES
0:09:12 > 0:09:14You'll be under a lot of scrutiny.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15I'm not intimidated.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18What's important is that this jury gets the full picture.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20This trial needs to be pure truth school.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Let them see all the available facts so they make the right decision.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26You need to fill out the usual spousal conflict form.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Nope. Nothing rings a bell.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52I'm so proud of you.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56As you were, Captain York.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18MURMURING
0:10:35 > 0:10:37All rise.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Court is now in session.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42The Honourable Lance A Ito presiding.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54You may be seated.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01HE CLEARS THROAT
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Mr Simpson.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Are you ready to enter a plea at this time?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Yes, Your Honour.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13And how do you plead to counts one and two?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Absolutely 100% not guilty.
0:11:18 > 0:11:25UPBEAT SOUL MUSIC PLAYS
0:11:31 > 0:11:32I love Johnnie, it's just...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34We have to keep our eyes on him.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Johnnie's an excellent trial lawyer.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38He can sense all the potholes.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41That's irrelevant. I don't want him putting ideas into OJ's head.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42I mean, the truth is,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44we both know there's only one way out of this case.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Come on, Bob, we're just getting started.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49We want to have a LITTLE fun.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51No, it's my job to serve the client,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53and the reality is, it's not winnable.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Johnnie is here to make Gil nervous enough to cut us a deal.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- HE SIGHS - You really think he will?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05The race card's sticking, and Johnnie equals LAPD injustice,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08and Gil doesn't want to see the city burn down again.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Here you gentlemen go.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Eggs Benedict
0:12:13 > 0:12:14and steak and frittata.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Thank you.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Enjoy.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Well, then...
0:12:18 > 0:12:21To whom do I invoice my hours?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Hmm?- Who should I bill?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Lee, you're pro bono.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Could I offer either of you Tabasco or...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34No, we're fine.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Bob...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40..may I remind you, I was your first call?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I like this case for you. I really do, Lee.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's a terrific way to get back in the limelight,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49reintroduce yourself to the public.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I don't need reintroducing.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'm F Lee Bailey.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I represented Sam Sheppard,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Patty Hearst, the goddamn Boston Strangler.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00That's a long time ago.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Look at the bright side.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04This could be the most high-profile criminal case
0:13:04 > 0:13:05in the history of the world.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08And OJ's easily the most famous American
0:13:08 > 0:13:09ever to be put up for murder.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10It's a different world, Lee.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I mean, the old days, you'd turn on TV, 6pm the news,
0:13:13 > 0:13:14and now it's 24 hours a day.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I have insomnia, I wake up at 3am,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I turn on cable, and boom, there we are.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21HE SIGHS Trust me...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24you'll dine out on this for the rest of your life.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Yeah.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29But Patty Hearst paid.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Nicole was my everything.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39You know? She was my...
0:13:39 > 0:13:43confidant, my spiritual sister.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47You know, now there's just such a void in my life without her.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I went to a psychic and...
0:13:49 > 0:13:53she said, "Nicole wants you to write a book."
0:13:54 > 0:13:56But I don't want it to be exploitative.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Oh, no, no.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I mean, of course not.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02But we need to move fast.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04We have to get to press in two weeks.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Faye, just to... Here.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Just to give a general sense,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10could you give me an overview of your times with Nicole?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Oh, Nicole was a wonderful person.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15She was a terrific mother.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17We need to stress that.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18We had wonderful times together.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20We...
0:14:21 > 0:14:25We'd go clubbing and go to parties and, you know, Starbucks.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Sometimes do a little cocaine.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29We loved to eat at La Scala.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Cocaine? Really?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I'm trying to manage it.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38There's no good time to find out your best friend has been murdered,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41but particularly not three days into cocaine treatment.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Did you know Nicole had breast implants?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46It was OJ's idea but, I'll be honest with you, she loved them.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49What else can I tell you about Nicole?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54She loved to give a Brentwood hello.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'm sorry, a "Brentwood hello"...?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58It was a little joke we had...
0:14:58 > 0:15:00SHE LAUGHS
0:15:00 > 0:15:03..where she would go into...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05a guy's bedroom while he was asleep,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07and, you know...
0:15:07 > 0:15:09give...
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Go down on him.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Ha! - THEY CHUCKLE
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Hmm, hmm, hmm.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18We are going to sell a lot of books.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21In a very nonexploitative way, of course.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28AC maintains he was trying to keep OJ alive,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31but the evidence says OJ was planning to cross into Mexico.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I mean, he was carrying his passport,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35a disguise kit with fake beard and moustache,
0:15:35 > 0:15:36make-up adhesive
0:15:36 > 0:15:38and 8,700 in cash.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Who takes a passport to his wife's grave?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43God, are they guilty?! What does Kardashian say?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45We're screwed on Kardashian.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Now he's OJ's lawyer, so he's privileged. He doesn't have to talk.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49But it doesn't matter, we've got plenty.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Tell me about the Bahamas.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Well, the couple on the island heard talk about a chartered yacht.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Crew was expecting OJ on the 18th.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57- The day after the Bronco?- Yeah.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00So, OJ was going to fly out of Mexico the night of the 17th.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Damn, this feels good. HE CHUCKLES
0:16:05 > 0:16:07DOOR CLOSES
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I just... I can't really...
0:16:13 > 0:16:15You know what? I'm going to have to call you back.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16I've got to call you back.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Hello.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Hi. Come on in.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Come on in. Have a seat.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Hi.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I'm glad you were both able to find time to come down.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42It's good for us to get to know each other.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- I know what you're going through. - Do you?!
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Do you have a son who was murdered?!
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Ron is dead!
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And it's like no-one even cares!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I turn on the TV and it's just OJ and Nicole,
0:17:05 > 0:17:06OJ and Nicole.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It's like Ron is a footnote...
0:17:08 > 0:17:10to his own murder!
0:17:10 > 0:17:12And if they talk about him,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14they make him seem like some kind of joke!
0:17:14 > 0:17:16It's all so superficial.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17He was a male model,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19he was a nightclub promoter,
0:17:19 > 0:17:20he ran a tanning salon.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23It's like they're trying to tarnish him.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Like...
0:17:25 > 0:17:26he...
0:17:26 > 0:17:27He was asking for it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Do you know what he did in his spare time?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40He volunteered at a clinic
0:17:40 > 0:17:43for children with cerebral palsy.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47He was a good person!
0:17:47 > 0:17:48HE SNIFFLES
0:17:48 > 0:17:51He didn't drink, he didn't do drugs.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52He should be celebrated!
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Not...
0:17:54 > 0:17:55this.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59When the police called and...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01they said Ron had been killed...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05..I assumed it was a car accident.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Never, in my worst nightmare,
0:18:09 > 0:18:13could I have imagined...the truth.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15HE SNIFFLES What this...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18..this monster did to him.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Do you have children?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Two boys.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I pray...
0:18:32 > 0:18:35that you never have to read an autopsy report
0:18:35 > 0:18:36for your own child.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41My son's last moments
0:18:41 > 0:18:44were filled with such horror...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46and such...
0:18:46 > 0:18:48pain.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51He was stabbed so many times.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54He was stabbed in his chest,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57his neck, his face...
0:18:57 > 0:18:59his head, his hands, his stomach...
0:19:01 > 0:19:02..his thigh.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05HE SOBS
0:19:07 > 0:19:08He was even stabbed...
0:19:10 > 0:19:12..after he was dead.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23We are going to get him.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27You better.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36In that scenario, he was lying in wait
0:19:36 > 0:19:39when Goldman arrived with the glasses in the envelope.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41DOOR OPENS
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Sorry I'm late.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Anyway, as Bill and I were discussing,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I've decided to take death penalty off the table.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Gil, we can't do that.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50What he did was unspeakable.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- It's special circumstances. - Marcia...
0:19:52 > 0:19:54We want death-qualified jurors.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56They're more aggressive, more likely to convict.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58We have to be realistic. People love OJ.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01They're not going to love him once they see those crime scene photos.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I have no doubt you're going to put him behind bars,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05but nobody in America is going to vote
0:20:05 > 0:20:07to execute OJ Simpson.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Marcia, we can't even execute Charlie Manson.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13HE SIGHS
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Great.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Now, how about some good news?
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Donald Vinson has offered his services to the case for free.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Wow! Vinson?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Oh, come on. We don't need his help.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Marcia, Don's amazing.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32He practically invented jury research.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33It's not rocket science.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36We're going to have a downtown jury, which means heavily black.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38If I can make it black women, we are in good shape.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- And why is that? - They'll sympathise with Nicole.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I have handled case after case of battered African-American women.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45I have heard their stories.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47They'll be able to make the connection.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49OJ's abuse...
0:20:49 > 0:20:50led to murder.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53OK, well, you're probably right...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55but it doesn't hurt to be open to outside input.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Go see Vinson.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03So, how about that Bronco chase, huh?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- HE CHUCKLES - Anybody see that?
0:21:05 > 0:21:06I know I did.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Oh, that was something.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12OK, so who thinks he's innocent?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20OK.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23And who thinks OJ Simpson committed the murders?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31OK.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Holy shit.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33It's worse than I thought.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44'You told the court today that you left the restaurant at 9pm,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48'and that you knew that because the restaurant was closing.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52'Why did you tell police you were home by 8:30?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54'Your Honour, I would like to ask the court
0:21:54 > 0:21:56'to instruct the witness to answer the question.'
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Give me your impressions of Marcia Clark
0:22:01 > 0:22:02based on what you've seen.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Please. Come on.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06And I want you to be honest.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09OK.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Well, she seems like a bitch.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13LAUGHTER
0:22:13 > 0:22:17She acts like everybody's stupid. and she's strident.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I wouldn't want to be her boyfriend.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Yeah, a real know-it-all.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22And those lips. She's shifty.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Yes, definitely.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27VOICES OVERLAP
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Black women don't like you.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31What?! No.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32No, that's idiotic.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I have tried many, many cases in front of black women and won.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I have a rapport with them.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38The data doesn't bear that out.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Well, then your data is horseshit.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Some of those black women still write me letters.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Well, that's wonderful anecdotal information,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49but I think it would be wise
0:22:49 > 0:22:53to limit the number of African-American women on your jury.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You might also consider softening your appearance.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Skirts instead of business suits.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Perhaps a new hairdo.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Maybe try smiling a bit more.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Our focus group rated the participants
0:23:11 > 0:23:13on a scale of one to ten, based on how much sympathy they felt.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Among black women, OJ received all nines and tens.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19But Nicole scored sevens,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21fives and a three.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Really?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24The murder victim scored a three?
0:23:24 > 0:23:25It was all over the cards.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27You saw the cards?
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Why didn't I see the cards?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Who's in charge of distributing the cards?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Gentlemen, let's focus on our client.- Yeah, that's a novel idea.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I will admit I'm surprised that black ladies liked OJ so much.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38What exactly did they say?
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Oh, it's very positive.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43They call OJ "handsome", "masculine" and "charming".
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Hmm.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48What...? What words did they use to describe Nicole?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Um...
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Various terms got thrown around,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54but one term came up a lot.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56"Gold digger."
0:23:56 > 0:23:58"Gold digger"?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00That's completely wrong.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I mean, she wasn't like that at all.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I'm just repeating the data.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Nicole wasn't a gold digger.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I mean, I knew her. She loved him.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Well, they were obsessed with each other.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19And she really did love him.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22They had hot sex -
0:24:22 > 0:24:25which, of course, became a problem after they broke up,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28because OJ knew that she needed it all the time,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30and it absolutely drove him crazy.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You know, when she was at that little house on Gretna Green,
0:24:33 > 0:24:34he used to hide in the bushes
0:24:34 > 0:24:36and watch her have sex with other guys.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Did she know that OJ was out there?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Of course she did.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43She used to love to push his buttons.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45And they were constantly reconciling
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and then somebody would sleep with someone,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49and the fighting would start again.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53They were really the most undivorced divorced couple
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I think I've ever known.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Hey. Working late?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Jury selection begins tomorrow.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07They've called 900 people.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I hear it might be a record.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Maybe I'll make the Guinness Book.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I'll probably be here all night, while Bob Shapiro eats dinner
0:25:14 > 0:25:17in some Beverly Hills restaurant I can't afford.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Well, I'll make it quick.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I'm just checking to see where we're at with Cowlings.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Oh, Chris. Damn it.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I'm sorry, I'm so distracted.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25I meant to talk to you.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29OJ is swallowing up everything.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31And considering the available evidence,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Gil thinks we should drop the Cowlings investigation.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37You've done a great job, but...
0:25:39 > 0:25:40..I'm sorry.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43HE SIGHS
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Let me buy you a drink.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I only drink tequila.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56HE LAUGHS
0:25:57 > 0:26:00There's a reason you're the boss, ma'am.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08This trial is so crazy.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Usually people are throwing up every excuse
0:26:10 > 0:26:12to get out of serving on a long case,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16but here, I have to wade through the crackpots and the attention-seekers.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18How extensive is the voir dire?
0:26:18 > 0:26:19It's endless.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21We are asking 294 questions.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- HE WHISTLES - There are so many moving parts.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26"Have you ever asked a celebrity for an autograph?"
0:26:26 > 0:26:29"Have you ever dated anyone of a different race?"
0:26:29 > 0:26:31"Are you a fan of USC football?"
0:26:31 > 0:26:34There's a lot of Trojan fans downtown.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35I'll deal with them.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37THEY LAUGH
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Here's what I see as OJ's biggest problem.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42That he did it?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44THEY LAUGH
0:26:44 > 0:26:48OK. Here's what I see as OJ's second biggest problem.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51That pile-up of egos called "The Dream Team."
0:26:51 > 0:26:53It's a dozen alpha dogs in a cage match.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56They are going to tear each other up and implode.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Well... CLEARS THROAT
0:26:57 > 0:26:59..that may be true for all the white guys,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01but I wouldn't be so quick to judge Johnnie.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Oh, come on.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04He's an act!
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Those flashy clothes,
0:27:06 > 0:27:07the preachy speeches.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08How'd he score?
0:27:08 > 0:27:09What?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11How'd he score?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Pretty high.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Tens from blacks, sixes from whites,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18for a weighted average of eight.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Wow. And how'd you score?
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Four.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Ouch.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39I'm being totally honest with you.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44What am I not seeing?
0:27:44 > 0:27:45He's real.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I mean, Johnnie's a showboat but,
0:27:49 > 0:27:50at the end of the day,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52he always fights for community.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57He talks like a preacher because he goes to church every Sunday.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59When I first started at SID,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02if I had a question, he'd always be my first call.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03We were on the same side,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05just fighting bad cops,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07just coming at it from different angles.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11I wouldn't underestimate him.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17I'll tell you something.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I've known Bob Shapiro a long time...
0:28:19 > 0:28:20We're old friends.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I'm the godfather of his oldest son.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30..but he does not have the proper...
0:28:30 > 0:28:33appetite for this case we find ourselves on.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39You and I are creatures of the courtroom.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40The parries and jabs,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42the turns of phrase.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45THAT'S where a case is won.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Not by settling like a pussy.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Johnnie...
0:28:52 > 0:28:56..we owe it to our client to take it to the finish line.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00It's time for you to make a move.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Here you go.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29This crowd is ridiculous.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32It's like when David O Selznick cast Scarlett O'Hara
0:29:32 > 0:29:33in Gone With The Wind.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Hey, it's the trial of the century.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Jesus, it's like they all scored
0:29:37 > 0:29:39courtside seats at a Lakers game.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Somebody better warn them.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43They're about to be sequestered for half a year.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Come to order.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Department 103 is now in session.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- QUIETLY:- Welcome to jury selection.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03FEEDBACK FROM MICROPHONE
0:30:03 > 0:30:04CLEARS THROAT
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Welcome to jury selection.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I have to say, I have never seen a case quite as unusual as this one.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I have no issues with the police.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16One time, when my car stalled,
0:30:16 > 0:30:19they helped me push it to the side of the road.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Your Honour, the defence asks the court to thank
0:30:22 > 0:30:24and excuse prospective juror number 58.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Ma'am, you say on your questionnaire
0:30:28 > 0:30:31you've had multiple encounters with the LAPD.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Would you describe those as positive or negative?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- SHE LAUGHS - What's worse than negative?
0:30:38 > 0:30:40The People ask the court to thank
0:30:40 > 0:30:42and excuse prospective juror number 79.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Yeah, what's the tally?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I feel they're targeting too many blacks.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55It seemed pretty balanced to me.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58No, no, no, I agree with Johnnie. It's inappropriate.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00I should inform the press.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02HE MOUTHS
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- I think a press conference is a good idea...- Hmm.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09..but I don't think you're the most ideal person to...
0:31:09 > 0:31:11to speak out on this issue.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I'm the lead attorney. I'll do the press conference.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49What the prosecution is doing implies
0:31:49 > 0:31:52an insidious effort to remove black jurors
0:31:52 > 0:31:54because they are black.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57THEY CLAMOUR
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- Charlie.- Hey.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Hey, can you fit me in?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02For you, always, Johnnie.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Beautiful.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Will it be a buff or a complete shine today?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Complete shine. I got all the time in the world.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- Hey, Johnnie.- Hey. - You're still here.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- Still here, man. - You got a minute to talk?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- I suppose I can fit you in. - All right.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Well, we're really concerned about
0:32:21 > 0:32:23the tenor of the prosecution's questions.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28We're really bothered by the way they go after certain jurors.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29You know, ultimately, it's a...
0:32:29 > 0:32:31It's an issue of fairness.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Fairness for whom?
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Well, you have eyes and ears.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38You tell me.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39CLAMOURING
0:32:41 > 0:32:43This is total bullshit.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45So what? I'm not worried about whether it's true.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46I'm worried about perception.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- The optics.- Yes, the optics.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50With Cochran taking a larger role,
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I think it might make sense for us to balance out our ticket,
0:32:53 > 0:32:54stir in a little added flavour.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56You mean a black person?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58I didn't say that, Bill,
0:32:58 > 0:32:59but it's not a bad idea.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Add a third chair. Sure.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Give our team something extra.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- We like where we are.- Uh-huh.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10Well, I think you should strongly consider what I'm saying.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18What about Chris Darden?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Bob, why is this taking so long?
0:33:28 > 0:33:29I missed Halloween,
0:33:29 > 0:33:31didn't get to take my kids trick-or-treating.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Now Thanksgiving's coming up.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Holidays are always rough.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37What about Christmas?
0:33:37 > 0:33:38Well, that's going to be hard.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Excuse me.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42The judge would like to see all counsel in his chambers.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Counsel, we have a problem.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- No.- Oh, my God.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50You've got to be kidding.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I'm troubled by this.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Her book could have major ramifications on jury selection.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Yes. This unwarranted publicity
0:33:56 > 0:33:58could make it impossible
0:33:58 > 0:33:59for Mr Simpson to get a fair trial.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Oh, come on, Bob.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03How do we know that this book would prevent a fair trial?
0:34:03 > 0:34:08- No-one's even read the damn thing. - I said "could," Marcia!
0:34:08 > 0:34:10All right, well, why don't we order up some copies?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13I will temporarily suspend jury selection.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27This is how she pays tribute to her friend.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29They're doing coke on every other page.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Wow.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I'll never think of Brentwood the same way again.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48This is bad. This is very bad.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49Faye's got it all wrong.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51That's not true. That's not true.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54OK, that's true.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56She's a liar!
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Faye says Nicole had six abortions
0:34:57 > 0:34:59so she wouldn't have another kid with me.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Nicole would never do that!
0:35:01 > 0:35:02I can't read this shit.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04I wouldn't lose sleep.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05The book is trash.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07It'll be forgotten in a week.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Lesbian sex, 197.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11What?
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Judge Ito told us not to read the book, but we clearly did not listen.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Tonight, we welcome the author
0:35:20 > 0:35:24of the New York Times number-one best seller, Faye Resnick.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Faye, how are you?
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Well, I just hope Lance Ito
0:35:28 > 0:35:31is a better judge than he is a book critic.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32HE CHUCKLES
0:35:32 > 0:35:36What do you want readers to take away from this book?
0:35:36 > 0:35:39I told Nicole's story...
0:35:39 > 0:35:43so that women could break the chain of violence.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46If this book can inspire one wife
0:35:46 > 0:35:49or one girlfriend to
0:35:49 > 0:35:53escape an abusive relationship...
0:35:53 > 0:35:55then any embarrassment I've endured is...
0:35:55 > 0:35:57It's a small price to pay.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02All right, counsel, I've come to a conclusion.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05After careful reading and annotation of Ms Resnick's book,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07I am prepared to resume jury selection tomorrow.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Oh, in all due deference, Your Honour,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Mr Simpson has been unfairly tried in the media.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13The well has been polluted.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Let's postpone the trial till next year
0:36:15 > 0:36:18and allow Mr Simpson to be released on bail.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20OJ Simpson is being tried in the media because of you!
0:36:20 > 0:36:22You're the one who created this circus.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26I am in no way responsible for the media circus around this case.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Judge, seriously,
0:36:27 > 0:36:30they can't go five minutes without holding a press conference.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31They leaked the Fuhrman story.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33They play the race card.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34I would never!
0:36:34 > 0:36:37I hold myself to the highest ethical standards.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39I would never reduce myself to such cheap tricks.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- Bob, calm down.- No, no, Lee, Lee. I'm very upset.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43These claims should be sanctioned.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46How dare they say that we play the race card?
0:36:46 > 0:36:47I stand before you right now
0:36:47 > 0:36:49and say race HAS never
0:36:49 > 0:36:52and WILL never be an issue in this case. Never!
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Bob, it is not that simple.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58This is the United States of America,
0:36:58 > 0:37:00and we are defending a black man
0:37:00 > 0:37:02who is fighting to prove his innocence.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07Now, I know I don't have to give anyone here a civics lesson
0:37:07 > 0:37:09about the historic injustices visited upon black men
0:37:09 > 0:37:11for no other reason other than they're black.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13WE didn't introduce that into this trial.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15WE didn't introduce that into this case.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17It is a plain and simple fact.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19But we would not be doing our job
0:37:19 > 0:37:21if we did not at least talk about
0:37:21 > 0:37:24how race plays a part in this trial!
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Now, if that is playing the race card...
0:37:29 > 0:37:30..so be it.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Johnnie...
0:37:38 > 0:37:40don't EVER contradict me like that again.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42You contradict yourself, Bob.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44You change narratives like the wind.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48We all have longer memories than your previous sound bite.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55F Lee Bailey, I'm really glad you're here,
0:37:55 > 0:37:57cos the media has been filled,
0:37:57 > 0:38:00filled, with accounts of defence team infighting.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02So, can you shed some light on the situation?
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Larry, these stories, where they emanate from,
0:38:05 > 0:38:06I really can't imagine.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09This is a tremendous,
0:38:09 > 0:38:11tremendous group of attorneys.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Yourself included.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14You're very kind.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Well, so, pardon my confusion,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18but who the hell is in charge?
0:38:18 > 0:38:23Oh, Bob Shapiro is the lead attorney, make no mistake.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25All that sniping in the media
0:38:25 > 0:38:28that says, "Bob Shapiro is in over his head,"
0:38:28 > 0:38:31"Bob Shapiro is an empty suit,"
0:38:31 > 0:38:34"Bob Shapiro can't handle a case of this magnitude..."
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Well, that twaddle is truly unfortunate.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Well, then don't say it, asshole!
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Fuck!
0:38:47 > 0:38:49(We're in terrific shape.)
0:38:49 > 0:38:51(We targeted for four black women, we got five.)
0:38:51 > 0:38:53(We should stop now.)
0:38:53 > 0:38:55(You know, I have to agree with Bob.)
0:38:55 > 0:38:57(No...)
0:38:57 > 0:38:59(No, we can do better.)
0:38:59 > 0:39:04(I'm feeling lucky. I want another divorced black lady.)
0:39:04 > 0:39:05(Let's push in our chips.)
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Your Honour, the defence asks that the court thank
0:39:08 > 0:39:12and excuse prospective juror number 35.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Juror 35, you are excused.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Juror 462.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Juror 462.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47I like 229.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48She has an open mind.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50She had a great questionnaire.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Marcia, we've barely used any of our challenges.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55- Well...- Wouldn't it be nice to have a white guy?
0:39:55 > 0:39:56I'm a white guy.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57We live in Los Angeles, too.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Bill, we cannot be so hung up on skin colour.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02This is a reasonable panel.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05They're smart people who gave good answers.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06My gut says...
0:40:06 > 0:40:07trust them.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Your Honour...
0:40:22 > 0:40:25..the People accept the panel as presently constituted.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31- What do we think?- Yes.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- Your Honour...- Your Honour, the defence jointly accepts the jury.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- Yeah?- If these people convict me, maybe I did do it.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48HE CHUCKLES
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Good news.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Your next-door neighbour, the Salingers, have a maid
0:40:55 > 0:40:57and she was walking their dog that night...
0:40:57 > 0:41:01And she saw the Bronco parked outside at 10:15.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05If we get her to testify, this could decimate the prosecution's timeline.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06That's good. That's good.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08It's what I've been telling y'all all along.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09I couldn't have done it!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11I'm so sorry that I'm late
0:41:11 > 0:41:14but I have something considerable to offer.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16I've been doing some research at the office about precedent
0:41:16 > 0:41:18and about possible options.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20I think...
0:41:21 > 0:41:22..that we should cut a deal.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26We should go for manslaughter.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29What we say is that you were mad at Nicole
0:41:29 > 0:41:31for not inviting you to dinner at Mezzaluna.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33You go home, you brood.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34What to do?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36So, you decide to get even with her.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38So, you take a knife to her place
0:41:38 > 0:41:40to slash her tires
0:41:40 > 0:41:41but you get caught,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43and you're humiliated. You...
0:41:43 > 0:41:45You don't know what to do.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Your heart is racing,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48your emotions are cracking
0:41:48 > 0:41:50and, before you know it, things escalate and you kill her.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55And you kill the Goldman boy, too, because you're jealous.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06So, Johnnie, when can we meet the maid?
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Shit. Shit.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Am I hallucinating? What the hell was that?!
0:42:13 > 0:42:14That man is crazy!
0:42:14 > 0:42:15He's gone. What an arrogant prick.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16It's like he imploded.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- When's he going on that damn Hawaiian vacation?- Tomorrow morning.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Tomorrow afternoon, we're going over to that office
0:42:22 > 0:42:23and we're clearing out everything.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26I mean everything - witness statements, files, boxes.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28It's all leaving Century City.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31I'm telling you, this trip can't come soon enough.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Put an ocean between me and Johnnie Cochran.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Did you see the LA Times story?
0:42:37 > 0:42:40It said Nicole went to a battered women's shelter
0:42:40 > 0:42:41five days before the murder.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43So, what do you want me to say?
0:42:43 > 0:42:45At lunch today, it's all anybody talked about.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48And they keep playing those 911 calls over and over.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50I know, I know, I know.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52It's the case that'll never end.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54I think...
0:42:54 > 0:42:56I think maybe you should quit.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Linell, it's what I do.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59I can't take on a double homicide
0:42:59 > 0:43:01and then suddenly say I'm uncomfortable.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02But this is different.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04My friends, a lot of them, don't call me back.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Everybody thinks he's guilty.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Don't you think I know that?!
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Linell, I'm sorry.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15I am so sorry that it's affecting you this way
0:43:15 > 0:43:17but I'm more worried about how it'll affect us later.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Everybody. All of us.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23If I don't put a lid on Johnnie Cochran, this city is...
0:43:23 > 0:43:25HE SIGHS
0:43:31 > 0:43:32Listen...
0:43:34 > 0:43:36..let's just go away to Hawaii
0:43:36 > 0:43:38and have a beautiful weekend, OK?
0:43:39 > 0:43:41HE SIGHS
0:43:45 > 0:43:49You're afraid there are going to be more riots, aren't you?
0:44:08 > 0:44:10You got a minute?
0:44:10 > 0:44:11I've got all the time in the world.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14OK. Knock off the self-pity.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17I'm working on a really big case
0:44:17 > 0:44:18and we could use a little help.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21Ah. What kind of help?
0:44:21 > 0:44:24Chris, you and I have both been in this building for a long time
0:44:24 > 0:44:26and I know that you feel
0:44:26 > 0:44:29you haven't caught all the breaks you've deserved
0:44:29 > 0:44:32but I have total faith in your abilities.
0:44:32 > 0:44:33What are you saying, Marcia?
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Would you like to be third chair on OJ?
0:44:41 > 0:44:42Is that a yes?
0:44:47 > 0:44:50I don't even understand these things they're saying about me.
0:44:50 > 0:44:51This article says that I've,
0:44:51 > 0:44:54"Come to represent the cross-section of racial politics,
0:44:54 > 0:44:56"due process and celebrity culture."
0:44:56 > 0:44:58I mean, what does that even mean?
0:44:58 > 0:44:59HE CHUCKLES
0:44:59 > 0:45:01OJ... OJ, we've got to talk.
0:45:01 > 0:45:02"Judo defence."
0:45:02 > 0:45:03What the hell is that?
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Listen, Juice, I think...
0:45:05 > 0:45:08I think you got to make a change.
0:45:08 > 0:45:09What do you mean?
0:45:11 > 0:45:13Look, I pray for you. You know that.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15I pray for you every day.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17I know you do, Bobby.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20I think... I think Johnnie should be lead attorney.
0:45:21 > 0:45:22But...
0:45:24 > 0:45:26What does Bob say?
0:45:26 > 0:45:27Don't worry about Bob.
0:45:27 > 0:45:28HE SIGHS
0:45:28 > 0:45:31I don't know. I mean, how does that even work?
0:45:31 > 0:45:33You know I'm not good at these conflict things.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Juice, Juice, this is your life.
0:45:35 > 0:45:36Hey, this is your freedom.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Johnnie is your best chance.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41You've got to trust me.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43He has got to be lead man.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Happy New Year, dear.
0:45:56 > 0:45:57Have a good one?
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Linda!
0:46:07 > 0:46:08Where'd you put my OJ files?
0:46:10 > 0:46:14Cochran's team took them, all of them.
0:46:14 > 0:46:15What do you mean, "He took them"?
0:46:15 > 0:46:17He came here and took my files?
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Well, he can't do that.
0:46:19 > 0:46:20I could get him disbarred for that.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22Get him on the phone!
0:46:22 > 0:46:23I want a meeting with everyone right now!
0:46:23 > 0:46:25He already called for a meeting...
0:46:26 > 0:46:28..at HIS office.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31This also came in.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36Somebody talked to the New York Daily News.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45We lost the motion to suppress the evidence collected at Rockingham.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47It's like Ito has a thing against us.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Don't worry. We'll file a motion to throw out the lab results.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52Great. Bob's here. First up...
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Before we get into your agenda, let's get into mine.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Bob, OJ's on the phone.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Good. Because we have some very pressing issues to discuss,
0:47:02 > 0:47:04because there are some stinky fish in this room.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07Everybody here knows that we have to keep a united front.
0:47:07 > 0:47:11- So, from now on,- I- am the only one that speaks for the defence team.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13I'm the lead attorney.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28OJ, do you have something to say?
0:47:31 > 0:47:32HE CLEARS THROAT
0:47:32 > 0:47:35'Well, this is sort of funny.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38'It reminds me of the old days, when I played football.
0:47:38 > 0:47:42'I didn't always get along with my team-mates but, on Sunday,
0:47:42 > 0:47:45'we put all that bullshit aside and played together.'
0:47:46 > 0:47:47I don't get it. I don't...
0:47:47 > 0:47:49I don't follow.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53'As I see it, Bob, you're the quarterback.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56'And Johnnie's the running back, but...
0:47:56 > 0:47:59'we won't be throwing the ball all that much.'
0:48:02 > 0:48:05But I'm the quarterback, you say.
0:48:05 > 0:48:06Is that correct?
0:48:06 > 0:48:07'Well...
0:48:07 > 0:48:09'Or maybe you're the coach
0:48:09 > 0:48:11'and Lee's the quarterback and...
0:48:11 > 0:48:14'and Alan's the front offence.'
0:48:14 > 0:48:18Juice, Juice, I think you need to be more clear.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21All right? What are you trying to say?
0:48:21 > 0:48:23Opening statements are less than a month away.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26Yes. Opening statements are a month away
0:48:26 > 0:48:29and, as the lead attorney, I will be delivering those statements.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31Is that right, OJ?
0:48:38 > 0:48:40- 'Well...' - OJ SIGHS
0:48:42 > 0:48:43HE CLEARS THROAT
0:48:43 > 0:48:48I would respectfully suggest that our able colleague, Mr Cochran,
0:48:48 > 0:48:51is the more appropriate person to deliver the opening statement.
0:48:51 > 0:48:52Given the make-up of our...
0:48:52 > 0:48:54brilliantly selected jury,
0:48:54 > 0:48:57he could translate our message into a "downtown" dialect
0:48:57 > 0:49:00that would resonate more powerfully with our audience.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12I agree with Lee.
0:49:14 > 0:49:15Me, too.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19What about you, OJ?
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Who do you think should give the opening statement?
0:49:22 > 0:49:25'Well...'
0:49:25 > 0:49:27HE EXHALES
0:49:27 > 0:49:28'Ah, shit.'
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Please, Juice.
0:49:30 > 0:49:31Juice, we need an answer.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42OJ SIGHS
0:49:42 > 0:49:43'Let's...
0:49:43 > 0:49:45'Let's have Johnnie do it.'
0:49:49 > 0:49:53OK. We need to hand out attorney assignments for the week.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56Barry, I need you to take the PCR testing.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Carl, take discovery...
0:50:03 > 0:50:05# I hit the loose juice
0:50:05 > 0:50:06# Ant pulls up in the deuce
0:50:06 > 0:50:09# He gives me the scoop about the fake-ass troops
0:50:09 > 0:50:10# Crime fighting's what I do
0:50:10 > 0:50:13# And ... in my crew don't take lightly to you bustas
0:50:13 > 0:50:15# And so we say ...
0:50:15 > 0:50:17# Then buck ... tuck you in for the night
0:50:17 > 0:50:19# As you think about the paper at the funeral site
0:50:19 > 0:50:22# So when I'm hangin' with the clique and we in demand
0:50:22 > 0:50:27# I feel good that the City of Angels call me Black Superman
0:50:27 > 0:50:29# Now everybody know
0:50:29 > 0:50:32# Black Superman
0:50:32 > 0:50:34# Now everybody sing... #
0:50:34 > 0:50:37When did they get a black guy?
0:50:37 > 0:50:40# Now everybody know
0:50:40 > 0:50:42# Black Superman
0:50:42 > 0:50:46# Now everybody sing Black Superman. #
