Last Friday was the 30th anniversary of the date O.J. Simpson was declared not guilty in the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. It was a shocking moment back then and a lot of the world observed it in real time as it happened on live TV 30 years ago.
In honor of this O.J. anniversary, I’ve got six links to online articles about the verdict and the trial of O.J. Simpson and a link to a video clip of the jury declaring O.J. not guilty.
Plus there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s happening on the blog next week. So there.
