Because i told them i had nothing to hide reporter simpson continues to claim hes innocent and didnt kill his wife, nicole brown simpson, and her friend, ron goldman. The miniseries chronicles the nearly ninemonth trial. Canny simpson attorney Robert Shapiro portrayed by john travolta, his First Television role in decaded. What was appealing about this to bring you back to tv . The material was powerful. The comments that it was still mamang about contemporary issues, about the legal system, abouo the judicial system, about racism. Reporter another key player in the courtroom drama, no nonsense prosecutor marcia clark, played by sarah paulson, with that unmistakable curly hair which would become fodder during the trial.

Schwimmer says he spoke with kris jenner, learning things few of us kne about o. J. s confidant. Incredibly loyal a compassionate and generous. To me was learning that he was a man of deep faith. Very religious man. I do think he was conflicted at times. And i think his feelings and beliefs did change in the course of the trial. Reporter in a documentary theheecret tapes of the o. J. Case, kris jenner recalls watching her exhusbands face as the verdict was announced. I think h hwas shocked. He was definitely stunned. I mean, you could look at his face and see it, knowing him my sbif liar entire life. I know that he was floored that that was the verdict.

We do have sufficient idence to convict him and prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Reporter in an instant, marcia clark is thrust into the blinding limelight. She had the courage of her convictions and wanted to go the distance to make sure that this man was put away. And to all of a sudddd be thrust the predominant conversation be about what she looked like. And her manner. And was she feminine enough. Was she strident. Was she a bitch. Good morning, ms. Clark. I ink. Reporter the series shows how a highprofile murder trial soon becomes a racially charged courtroom drama. 70 of whites thought o. J. Was guilty. 70 of blacks thought he was innocent. Did this film shatter your percrctions one way or another . For me the biggest discovery was the things`that were not submitted to court. The furman tapes. The legal battle behind the scenes. Reporter which includes the dream teams strategy. Mark furman reporter pointing fingers at lapd, which has a history of alleged misconduct. Officers accused of planting evidence, mishandling it, and framing simpson. Did you plant or manufacture any evidence in this case . Reporter the actors hear the detective mark furman spouting racial slurs likethis. First thing, anythinin out of a [ bleep ] mouth for the first five or x sentences is a [ bleep ] lie mark furman is a lying, perjuring, genocidal racist. The bile that this man said about black people. And i was the frustration and anger i felt. You know, having sons having two boys that are now at that age where they have to deal with not just Gang Violence but police brutality. It just it gets me frustrated and angry. Sir, out of the car now reporter the miniseries triggered personal emotions around race and police encounters. Im going to have to cuff you. Reporter vance, married to actressngela basset, says he personally relates to his characters struggles. How did that impact you as an actor . And it happened to me. The police came to ourouse and they had heard that somebody was pacing around the neighborhood. I come outside and they scream get on your knees hands behind my back. Eventually they would reblize and recognize that they had made a mistake. But the difference is, in life, as what were seeing nowadays with all these episodes in chicago and the ferguson case, we should not be rehashing this. Thats why i think its so important that were doing this project. And more is involved since we agreed to the project. In the last year it seemed to escalate. Reporter with the spate of recent cases alleging police brutality, the simpson story may strike a chord with viewers and also prompt the question many are uncomfortable with did you come away with a stronger opion about whether hes guilty or innocent . Are yo convinced in your mind now . No. What the truth is . No, no. Im not convinced either way. By a group of his peers. But my opinions are all over the place now.
