00:01Attention all units in station. Attempt to locate 187 suspect in a white 1993 Ford Bronco.
00:07Where were you when JFK was assassination? Where were you when the towers fell?
00:11Where were you when you first saw O.J. Simpson on the highway?
00:14That moment is etched in our cultural history.
00:18He's the suspect in this double murder. He's riding down the freeway and it froze the nation.
00:25If you had plans that night you canceled them. It was just it was so intoxicating you couldn't pull yourself away.
00:31You could see that this was going to be bigger and bigger and bigger.
00:36It really was a media circus.
00:39This is the first time where a celebrity was going on dry.
00:43It was like walking in a red carpet event. Oh my god this is gigantic.
00:48When it suited him best he was a black man being railroaded by the system.
00:52I checked the news feed and I said O.J. Simpson's dead. I was back in 94 and 95. I was getting the calls from the same networks.
00:58He found a glove.
01:00The blood from the victims is on it. One's at his house. One is at the crime scene.
01:05I had already announced that I thought he was probably guilty and Bob said well everybody thinks he's guilty.
01:11That's our job to try to undo that perception.
01:15The wealth of evidence in this case is simply overwhelming.
01:21Nicole's sister she started yelling in the phone. It's O.J. It's O.J.
01:25If I could go back in time I would have never taken that money.
01:28I felt like I had helped him get away with murder.
01:32It was as if Nicole knew that eventually he was going to kill her.
01:37And I think that she left for us what she could.
01:40We seem to forget that it's not the slaughter of two young people.
01:44It's all this other superfluous crap.
01:46If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.
