Posted on by Claire Potter

When a New York Times investigative report revisited the OJ Simpson case, Neil and Claire discussed how American culture pivoted around around a brutal murder and its aftermath.

NBC Sports commentator and former professional football player O.J. Simpson sits with a group of servicemen to watch a Thanksgiving Day football game. Simpson is visiting U.S. troops who are in the region for Operation Desert Shield.

We began this episode with a short excerpt from September 27, 1995, day 1 of defense attorney Johnnie Cochran’s closing argument in O.J. Simpson’s trial for the murders of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

Our theme music this week is “.44 Special Blues,” written and performed by Hank Williams, Jr. copyrighted music licensed from Likd.
