About this episode
In 1994, two people were slain in Brentwood, California - one of them the ex-wife of a beloved celebrity. Then the world stood transfixed watching a televised police chase of the famous fugitive through Los Angeles. It seemed like a mountain of evidence would convict OJ Simpson for the murders of Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. But his aggressive defense team attacked the science and the motivations of a problematic detective. It all led to a bombshell verdict that divided the country and reverberates today. From the famous Bronco chase to the “Trial of the Century,” American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson follows the case that shook the nation. We hear from those who investigated the crime, those who fought it out in court, and from witnesses never called to testify. We get insight from a juror on the panel, as well as from Simpson’s close friend who went from a supporter to a doubter of his innocence. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews director Floyd Russ. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .
