Peter Jennings.. Ted Koppel and Tom Brokaw the GOATS of nightly news.. RIP Peter Jennings.
I once sAw a weird looking bum that looked like Ted Koppel. He said. “ ya gunna eat that”.
I was throwing away an orange peel and I told him I was going to eat it. And I did.
I remember it as the 3 major networks anchors being Jennings, Tom Brokaw, and Dan Rather as the 3 main guys (Koppel too for nightline) Peter Jennings was always my favorite (handsome too) followed by Brokow. I didn't care much for Dan Rather.
I completely agree with that statement.
I was born in 2002 but I've recently become fascinated with this whole case. It's absolutely CRAZY that all of this really happened. The 90s were crazy!!!
Check out my OJ Simpson Playlist on my channel. It's public.
I was in my mid 20s. It was crazy.
It was the beginning of “respected media” blurring the lines with tabloid media.
I’m born in 87 the 90’s was the best time to be a kid but very hostile a lot going on good and bad
There was no phone, no social, none of that on this day. We all gathered around a television or heard it on terrestrial radio. That's how it was.
OJ didn't seem nervous at all... it's like he already knew the verdict!
Johnnie Cochran seemed more nervous than OJ did!
I always thought that too and I recently watched a court tv doc where a female on the defense team said that the prison guards told him to pack his bags before they left for the verdict.
@@theamericanofafricandescent
His life wasn't on the line. Prosecution said from the beginning they weren't seeking death penalty.
At least one juror gave OJ and team a slight nod or smile as they came out of the room. I believe F Lee or Shapiro said they knew from that moment it would be NG.
He probably got some looks from the jurors that made it clear he's getting off.
Apparently the a prison guard told him
I love Peter's Jennings voice.i could listen to him all day,no wonder he was so popular.
MAN!! I Still Can't Believe This Was In 1995.
I was twenty seven years old and I’d just broken up with my first children’s mother and afterwards I got into a relationship with my white wife April 16th 1994 when nobody knew and as soon as I introduced her to everybody in my family they were simply astonished about it and they constantly brought up OJ Simpson and on this day April 2 2022 we would be together and married for twenty eight years on the 16th of April 2022 and we’re still going on solid as a rock.😎
@@patrickjackson5599 Interesting story. Funny how they brought up OJ as if all interracial marriages end up like that.
I was only 8.
@@patrickjackson5599
That's amazing brother, we are all just human aren't we
@@patrickjackson5599did I hear you right? I thought that I read that you stated that you were 27 years old in high school?
I was in 8 years old, in the 3rd grade on the day of the verdict. My teacher asked me to go to another teachers class that had a tv to find out the verdict. I came back and said not guiltily. She dismissed me and left the room to go find out for herself. Made me feel like shit. As I got older I realized why she did that.
Your teacher was a moron and still is to this very day.
Whatd she do that made you feel like shit?
@@learntospellpeople i came back and told her not guilty and her response made me feel like i fucked up. Now i understand that the verdict was shocking. 8 year old me had no idea about this case.
@@mikeashante8065 understandable.
A student should not be in a position to do that the teacher was ignorant to do that very foolish of her.
Peter Jennings could've narrated the end of the world, and the world would be comforted by his calm and collected voice. His reporting on 9/11 is some of the finest journalism I've ever witnessed - it's very nice to find his reporting of the OJ verdict!
I miss him. He was my favorite (and most handsome ) of the 3 big guys at the time (Rather, Brokaw and Jennings)
Absolute professional! May he RIP 💙
My senior year of highschool. I remember the school library packed full of students and teachers watching the verdict...
That was a wild four years man to be in high school. The Oklahoma bombing. The whole Nancy and Tonya harding drama. Oj simpson. Baseball Strike. Dude you guys had a lot to talk about.
Was the school worried about Race riots after the verdict in the hallways? Or was the students cool with each other?
The day the world stood still.
Johnnie Cochran got 9 black people on the jury, he was the greatest of all time!
Yes, Thurgood Marshall and Johnnie Cochran were the best!
Very true. A lot of people think OJ walked because the jury liked OJ. Got to call B.S. all over that. This jury found for the defendant because of....AND ONLY BECAUSE OF....that emotional connection they made with Johnny Cochran. If Robert Shapiro or F. Lee Bailey were the trial lawyers for OJ there is no way he could have walked against the evidence provided. Would have never happened. But hey, I'm okay with it. So what if he did it. This makes up, at least a little, for all those times cops have lied and manufactured evidence and prosecutors have let them get away with send innocent people to prison. So in essence it's true....what goes around comes around.
@@viking956 that’s totally nothing but BS because the two detectives Vanatter and Mark Fhurman planted the evidence to make it look like OJ Simpson did it and Mark Fhurman asserting his 5th amendment right because he knew that he was a liar and he was caught lying and you fools mountain of evidence was nothing more than a damn mole.😎
@@mikiy84 and Chris Darden?
Half the jurors got dismissed, it's by chance they ended up with 9 black.
I loved the 90s.
I was talking about this recently. The 90s were a wild time
Me too. Life was so much more mellow back then. Social media is destroying us
@@bobbyheenan4061 you have just simply told everybody in cyberspace that you’re butt hurt because you don’t like hearing the truth.😎
yall were wild lol
Great decade lol
Opening montage is fucking incredible. Brilliant work.
This is where the KARDASHIAN nonsense came from btw
No it was from the sex tape
Kardashians have milked this association with the oj case for all its worth.
Funny how they never caught the "supposed" killer
Glenn rogers is in jail
@@Eastvanucks glen rodgers DNA wasnt at the crime scene , OJ DID IT ...
The already knew it was Furmhan that was the point of planting evidence
They never bothered to look because we all knew who did it. It would be pointless.
They are dead. These cartel hit men left evidence and they were executed on the spot.
I can remember watching this live on a small TV in a technology class I was in
O.J was more famous for this than football
Did you think if a black athlete like Marcus Allen did this would it be the trial of the century? Seems that OJ is was extremely famous and it led to people taking interest
You sound crazy! Maybe to your generation but OJ was like Lebrun James in the 70’s.
@@aaronlewis2501 do anybody talk about O.J football career? No they don't 20 plus years later nobody cares or mention his football career you sound crazy
@@lakiastewart5771 Calm down Lakeisha
@@lakiastewart5771 they don't talk about his football career any more because of this case. But yeah he is probably top 5 running back of all time. Depend on who you ask they would say he's number 1
RIP, Mr. Peter Jennings 🌹
Was this a double murder trial or a circus
The Goldmans response was over the top IMO..thought so back then & still do now. I cant believe they & Brown family heard the case and werent disgusted by the police & prosecution. Guess they wanted someone to blame & $...& they got their$.
The Goldman's didn't get a dime, all they got was shine from the mainstream media. It's unfortunate that Nicole and Ron got sliced and diced, however I believe the jury rendered the correct verdict.
@@JB-435
When Simpson, was questioned in handcuffs under protest - then released
The police never stopped watching him . They were waiting for it to happen
Knowing that it would be a media event
I agree. It almost seemed fake.
18:54 Johnny said Y E S !!!!
1995 was payback for Rodney King like the bulk of the jurors said..... but then there were TWO paybacks for OJ. First in 1996, when Proposition 209 was passed and ended affirmative action in California, which essentially stripped blacks of some of their equal rights, and second in 2008, when OJ was convicted and sentenced to 33 years for armed robbery on the 13th anniversary of his acquittal (unlucky number for a reason).
Its sad, I know, but when a minority group fights for payback instead of justice, then usually payback comes back to haunt them.
so that means people shouldn't fight, stand up for what they believe in and for whats right?
@@lisabradford8180 They should fight for justice and equality, not payback, because payback always backfires. Look how many women shunned Amber Heard. Very few sided with her because of the damage she'd done to the credibility of female DV victims. They didn't care that she was a woman, they went with the evidence, they didn't go by the "we take care of our own" mentality. It was the same here, what OJ, Cochran and blacks did was no better than what white supremacists usually do, and but a large wound in race relations so deep that it hasn't healed yet. Whatever came their way as a result, they brought it on themselves by supporting a black murderer. This was their chance to prove they were the better and bigger people, but they showed they they were just as bad and racist as those they hated. If they REALLY wanted equality, they would have protested against and maybe even attacked heavily armed white supremacist groups, not supported a black abuser and murderer and piss on the innocent dead victims and go as far as to say Jason Simpson did it.
Affirmative Action did not benefit Black Americans all that much. We are tripping. Plus, the Ramport scandal was a result of this case, which got a lot of black people free from prison for cops planting evidence like they did in the OJ case.
Source for your first statement? The bulk of the jurors have already spoken their minds. The unreliable, mishandled, contaminated and partially planted evidence is what led to the reasonable doubt, ergo acquittal. Your obsession with this case is racially motivated and I've seen you spread blatantly wrong facts.
@@slickrick2420 Carrie Bess admitted it in the documentary, and OJ later confessed.
And please, don't project your racist shit onto others people. It only shows how racist you are against whites. Go support the 100 genders theory.
This was a spectacle, in all the worst ways possible, it was an inbombination, an utter and total embarrassment...
OJ had a glass of OJ
I'm sorry. I laughed so hard at that!!!!!
18:40 is the verdict.
Judge Ito, who seemed to speak though helium, was a mastermind at creating suspense. I remember this still very well to this day. At 1pm I was at work, in the Navy, and everything down and TV's were on in every administrative office and we were glued. Bets were placed and everything - I lost a bet.
ALWAYS bet on black
@@truthbeliever4865Good one.
Crazy that Goldman has been off this world longer than he was on it in 2022
Probably a good thing!
In a nutshell, Simpson was acquitted of the two murders due to an incompetent prosecution team.
And because there was no evidence that wasn't shot down by the defense.
I read that Marcia Clark had won 19 of her last 20 cases. So I understand why people had confidence in her at first.
@@lisascorpthat is very true. This case she got out lawyered in one of the biggest cases she ever took on.
And corrupt / incompetent police department.
24:40, if I had to guess I'd say that's the Black Panther juror fist-raise moment.
WAIT OJS A BLACK PANTHER?!
@blazayblazay8888
No there was a juror that stopped on his way out, turned towards OJ, and raised his fist in the air doing a black power solute.
@@TupacNationyou’re correct ☑️
I was 16 junior in high school. I took a bathroom break to go to the auditorium where they had a TV. Didn’t return to my class till the end and the teacher didn’t even notice cause she was so focused on the verdict. That class listened on the radio but I had to see it
Are you Mr. Burke from Spalding Drive Elementary?
Such a paradox..Both Justice and Injustice at the same time...God is Karma is
There absolutely no justice in this case
@@tharamendoza6287 False
Emmett Till #RIP
Right they forget about that. And J.W. Milan and Roy Bryant was never brought to justice and his mother died and never got justice for her 14 year old son. And now Mrs. Carolyn Bryant confessed she fabricated the old story. I don't condone in anyone taking another person's life and heart goes out the the Brown and Goldman family. But if O.J. did this he must and will face God on judgement DAY like all the klanmans for the hanging, castraeing and lynching over 35, 000 black men or more through out the south just for the color of their skin and how they celebrated by taking pictures alone side their dead bodies as they hanged from trees with Big smiles on their faces and never went to trial for any of them.
Fuck Emmitt Till
Yessss❤
WTF does have to do with OJ?
The biggest miscarriage of justice I have ever seen. Shameful.
Naw, I think the Rodney King case was worse
@@sampsonharris8565 yes, also a miscarriage of justice.
One of the happiest days in my life! Justice was indeed served.
@@daviddavis3389You must be a moron.
Then you don't know about Emmett Till and a thousand other similar cases.
The verdict was sealed during jury selection. Prosecutors allowing this is unforgivable.
How so? The defense and prosecution both agree to the jurors that were selected.
How is verdict sealed before a case begins? Y’all just be saying anything in the comments 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@myasman they're racist and projecting what 'their side' are known for doing when they're in the jury.
The world in black and white...
Do you have the oj Simpson Chase?
HOW HILARIOUS THIS WHOLE THING IS! SO ENTERTAINING!
The Juice is loose!!!😬😬😁😁✊🏿👍🏿💯
I remember watching this live on TV in 5th grade.
LOL, nutty person trying to camouflage themselves in leaves to get a glimpse of the goings on at 0:54
Kkkk
A news reporter at the time actually said that was an undercover cop
That was actually a sniper
@@tharamendoza6287was the lady beautifully adorned with balloons on and radiant colours singing Hooray for Johnny, Hooray for Johnny 🎉 an undercover cop that was planted? That would have been a cool trick....
It was an actual circus.
It was an actual mistrial
I'm still watching this coverage in 2024. Don't know what it is.
OJ knew the verdict the night before it was read.
💯 facts
O.J. Simpson was my friend back in the 90s.
U then wokeup
Did you give him a Dirty Sanchez?
OJ is all of our friends
Did you kill them??
The suspense!!
The look on Dominick Dunne’s face really tells you all you need to know.
The man looks shocked! You can almost read his mind saying: “is this really happening?”
Do you mean Robert Kardashian, the lawyer?
All Marcia Clark lies didn't tell you anything?
The courtcase he just entered into will be very different
Oh my god what a bunch of lunatics.
OJ is a hero!!! The fact that he was able to dispose of his slutty wife and get away with it!!!! He's a genius!!!
i was born in august 1995 but every time i come across videos of this verdict it makes me so upset. two innocent lives were robbed bc someone couldn’t control his jealousy and seeing everyone cheer for “not guilty” is like a slap in the face for the victims families. RIP Nicole & Ron 🤍🕊️🌷
i was in 8th grade when the verdict was read at harwood jr high at bedford texas
Looking back at these videos I feel sorry for these people!
Who is Blasier
"FREE THE JUICE! LET THE JUICE LOOSE!"
lol. Damn.
Memories
Posting this around the milestone 25th anniv (already that long), I remember where I was, the issue of race & law enforcement has been a big one in this yr of 2020 where public attention to it goes back to the Rodney king episode which was largely the influential factor in the oj verdict where certain rxns to it quite visibly reflected that, not all rxns were the same - a contrast for the world to see where at the time I never felt more embarrassed as an American
Tart
You didn’t feel more ashamed seeing what happened to Rodney king?
YES!!!!!
I was in my law and society class in college, my professor played the verdict life and everyone cheered for the most part….crazy times
That expression 😆on O.J.s face when Marcia Clark ask Kato if O.J. was afraid he was going to have sex with Nicole always cracks me up!
What face did he make I can't remember?
@@TupacNation 4:24
He was like, "really now? Kato would be the last guy to worry about"
1:50
Lady Justice dropped her scales and pulled off her blindfold that day for sure.....but I'm so happy O.J eventually went to Las Vegas 😂😂😂
people are hypocrites , duplicitous and opportunistic fake and phony fraud
The killer was in the courtroom that day and it is a Simpson but it's the one sobbing because he knows he got away with it due to his father getting him a lawyer so they never came after him.
Omg I was in junior high school and the white female teachers were crying😿🤣😭 and all the black teachers were rejoicing 🎉🎉🎉that was the day I learned what race was about in America 🤔
What about the white male teachers though
A live TV show. Entertainment! That's all it was a complete TV show.
Horrible what happened to the people then .
Cynthia McFadden looked good back in the day.
didn't she tho? i think she's still pretty now.
I agree with you!
I was about to say
18:50
"And he had a glass of orange juice"
circus. The accusing team fell for the dramatics from defenders team. Wild energy gets wild outcome
kim goldman pobrecita .. oj got away with murder .. kinda got some karma with those 9 yrs in prison but now free again .. I hope what he did gnaws at him until his last breath and beyond
Amen
25:39 - one of the few moments in which Simpson dropped his nice guy facade on camera. The facial expression he has here speaks volumes.
I always wondered what he was looking at there. My sense was in the direction of Vannatter and Lange.
@@andrewdunn49ers - I heard Simpson mention in an interview how he had the physical urge to go after Vannatter after the verdict was read - surprised he was honest about that lol
@@wendelldallas7572 wow! Thanks for sharing.
What do you mean? The man was just acquitted of double murder. He was almost framed by known bigots in the LAPD.
Why were there people playing tubas there?
Judge Lance ito 👍
Well.. when you didn't do it you simply didn't do it🤷♂️ this verdict was a result of that
Revisiting this 19 years on day oj died, this reminds me of ncis. This was a court battle!!
What a messy trial
I kinda respected Cochran up until the verdict. His reaction revealed his personal desire to win. Nothing else. Even OJ seemed annoyed by him.
26:12 JOHNNY SECURITY
Looks like the nation of islam
How did that happen
Because the gloves didn't fit
Gee wee,this was such a big case that it had its on oj simpson theme song.
If it doesn't fit you must acquit classic
4:30 intimidate you?
GUILTY
They got even in Vegas.
He was actually pretty famous in jail. He organized games between prisoners and the guards like the juice as they called him 😂😂
OJ at 22:40 “damn I actually got away with it”
Lol
I remember i was at work eating lunch,and the breakroom was full of people,Black and White,Mexican,etc. When the jury handed down the verdict,and it was said he was found not guilty,and the Blacks in the breakroom cheered and hollered so loudly that one that it was a football game,and that O.J. had just made a touch down!!! IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIBLE MISCARRIAGES OF JUSTUS IN THE 20th CENTURY!!!!! O.J.IS QUILTY,PERIOD!!!!!!!!
Is he Guilty, or Quality.??.....Like a quilting Bee?
Why he running.. He and AJ laughing at the world.. All a show.. SMH
I think it was O J. and his son Jason, that unalived Nicole and Ron. I always thought O.J. was guilty, I just didn't believe he killed them by his self. But Jason being there, makes the most sense really. They got away with murder.
I don't believe OJ did it but I am suspicious of his son.
@@SparkleInYourEyes2024
It's, only suspicion, without an eyewitness
Without a knife, Without the bloody clothing, & without a timeline
The speculation, of
of Fred Goldman's
rewritten, republished If I did it by Judith Reagan .
Under his owned copyrights
is Goldman's attempt, to capitalize, on Simpson"s name
A civil litigation not being, a criminal charge, rather being held liable- responsible - & involved with those events
Civil litigation can't overrule, a superior court decision.
The brutal deaths, of
Nicole Brown Simpson, - Ron Goldman, was more about capitalizing , on Simpson's name.
The hidden truth, is a
criminal element of drug distribution.
An investigation, that became more difficult with murder
Nicole Brown & Ron Goldman, were in the middle of it !
Johnny Cochra’s reaction brings to mind the movie Major League, when it was cut down day. Don’t celebrate while somebody else’s life has gone to hell! He can celebrate elsewhere very unprofessional
Kim Goldman caused a disruption, but wasn't ejected. Unbelievable.
She should of been gone looong time ago
Are you kidding me?
Couldn't agree more, Judge Ito should have found her in contempt and immediately had her thrown in jail for her over the top antics.
She did cause a disruption…😢
@@TheClash122She was doing too much as usual. Nicoles' family showed more dignity.
By October 4, 2008, O.J. Simpson was done.
He’s been able to play Wii games since October 1, 2017.
So many games to play. Including Mario Kart Wii because of Wiimmfi
Not Super Smash Bros. Brawl though

Taylor Sias because you get off watching killers be freed? You’re a sociopath.
Greg Hubbard stop being a hater of justice. This case, the Rodney King case, and the Natasha case are all wrong. It’s called process justice, the moral justice was never served. He is 100% guilty. Stop your hate speech.
No because White America thinks they can abuse, imprison and kill black people whenever they want. Even though OJ was guilty and got away with it, it is nice to see the tables turned for a change.
You enjoy seeing killers let loose?
