8 DAYS OF O.J. - "THE DREAM TEAM ASSEMBLES: How O.J. Simpson Bought His Freedom in January 1995" - Day 1

Reid Carter begins the unprecedented 8-day O.J. Simpson retrospective with January 1995 - the month the prosecution lost the case before testimony began. Judge Lance Ito becomes America's first celebrity judge while Johnnie Cochran assembles legal superheroes with O.J.'s millions. Marcia Clark's overconfident opening statement meets Cochran's "conspiracy" preview as the Dream Team roster takes shape. Christopher Darden gets appointed in a desperate attempt at racial balance while the prosecution fumbles jury selection, letting Cochran pack the panel with people predisposed to acquit. Thirty years later, Reid reveals how O.J. Simpson didn't just escape justice - he purchased it wholesale in the first month.Join our new FB groups page here.
