A day after taking over iraqs second largest city, militants are on the brink of taking control of the Northern City of takrit. Now the embattled Iraqi Government has signaled a willingness for air strikes to help stop the insurgents. Jim shuuto joins me with the latest. Reporter this is a situation that is deteriorating very quickly and has gotten out of the control of the Iraqi Government and Iraqi Security forces very quickly. Mosul, the second largest city in the country, significant Security Force there melted away, couldnt fight off the insurgents. Tikrit, the sound of baiji, with an oil refinery, all three of them falling to militants. These are Security Forces that the u. S. Has trained and supplied to the cost of billions of dollars and theyre not standing up at this point up to the task of fighting off these al qaeda militants. And understand, jim, theyre being this is being called a crisis, the invasion after the invasion and the withdrawal, being called a crisis by the Iraqi Government. What is going on there to bring this to the brink now of the largest cities being taken over . Reporter well, this is about the ambitions of this group, the Islamic State in iraq and syria. This is a group that joined two very nasty groups of militants in iraq and syria, actually, so the same Group Fighting president Bashar Al Assad in syria and the same group that controls a large amount of territory in syria. Youre seeing the Syrian Civil War spill over into iraq, so soon after u. S. Forces left, and they have aspirations for bringing down the Iraqi Government. It is a terrorist group. It is a powerful one. It is a well armed one. And there are indications now they have been able to take up some of the weapons and you see there a what was an American Made humvee going by, now it appears in the possession of these militants. And, again, the u. S. Is being invited back to launch air strikes. What will air strikes achieve, jim . Reporter well, that is an open question. What u. S. Official tells me is that the iraqis have said that theyre open to this. This doesnt mean the u. S. Is going to follow through on this. Im told the u. S. Is considering a number of options. Among those options are kinetic options. But, you know, this is not a request that the u. S. Accepted and air strikes would carry with them even though they come from on high, they would carry with them a lot of risk, risk of civilian casualties, where do you launch them from. Remember, when the administration was presented with this possibility after the use of chemical weapons in syria, the administration decided not to move forward then. You remember last fall, so, you know, i would imagine that there is a fair amount of reluctant. Jim shuuto reporting on the breaking news out of iraq. Thank you very much. We get any more information on this broadcast, well bring it to you live, right here on cnn. We want to turn now to an ominous anniversary. In los angeles, two vicious murders, the bronco chase, a superstar athlete arrested. It all ended up as being the trial of the century. And the verdict that shocked the country. Joining me now is a woman whose life was changed by what happened. Tonya brown, younger sister of Nicole Brown Simpson and the author of finding peace amid the chaos my escape from depresside depression and suicide. Tomorrow marks the anniversary. You were only 24 years old at the time. How do you feel after so much time has passed . You know it so surreal it almost feels it really feels like it was yesterday. 20 years have gone by. And we are still talking about it. Im grateful that, you know, nicole is not forgotten and ron is not forgotten. It is so surreal that is really seems like yesterday, but life has gone on, you know. Its been, i lived out 20 years of my life and had to go through a lot of chaos as the title of my book says to get to where im at today. 20 years ago tomorrow, my life and my familys life turned up side down foreever. Well talk about the challenges you faced in your life and your book, but wasnt to go back to the events of 20 years ago, if you will, you revealed your father actually called o. J. During that infamous bronco chase and when o. J. Was in that bronco, right, being driven by his friend, what did he say to him . Deuce, dont do it, you have two kids, dont do it. You know, kind of, like, what tom lang was talking about last night on the special. It was the exact same thing that my daddy was saying to him, deuce, dont do it. You have two kids. They love you. We all love you. People dont understand that this was family, this wasnt a stranger who did this. This is somebody who ive known since i was 7 years old. So, you know, he was my dads son, basically. And he was uncle o. J. To me. And, you know, so maybe if it was a stranger i would be feeling different, but this was, again, so surreal that, you know this is somebody who ive known since i was 7 years old. Youre showing a picture of it now, but, you know, nobody wanted to see this happen. And it could have easily been prevented. But years ago, when my sister had first called 911 for i think it was in 1989 for a batter he was beating her up or there was a 911 call, so, but, yeah, my dad was just being my dad. And just the soft soul he is and nobody wanted to see this happen. Do you know what he was saying so your dad, what explanation he was giving for running from police . Was he saying, you know, it was interesting for him saying hes not guilty, yet hes running from police, what was he saying to your father . I know. You know what, i dont even know. I wasnt on the other line. I couldnt hear. But i was in my parents room and he was in his office. And i just remember that conversation, and i think that day my sisters were up at nicoles condo cleaning everything out because her condo was being looted. And all i remember is my mom just sitting on the edge of bed just saying i want my kids home. I just want my kids home. And, yeah, it was just again, we didnt want to see this happen to a family member, yet alone. I just saw pictures last night of my dad hugging o. J. At the funeral. You know, that episode brought things back last night. You were talking about the conversation with your father, lets talk about a conversation that you had with o. J. Simpson. You said you did not believe he was guilty until a phone call from jail that changed your mind. Tell us about that. Yeah, there were all these little incidents that happened and a private phone call was one of them. He called my private line shortly after his arrest. And it was a very narcissistic conversation. What turned out to be, you know, im so i was waiting for him to say im sorry or this is horrible that this is happening. Some sort of acknowledgement from what just happened to our entire family but it was nothing. It was more, you know, i would have put myself in front of a train for your sister, you know i loved your sister. And then it turned into, what what did she ever do for me . And im, like, she gave you two kids, gave you a house. And it just turned very narcissistic. And then it just then we had a family friend of ours that had an aneurysm and brought that conversation up and he basically said, i dont care about him. Look at me. Im in a 7 by 9 cell with a steel toilet. Really turned it really turned back to him, and then there was the cut on the finger what people dont know is i was driving with him in the limo on the way from st. Martin of torres for the Funeral Service to the cemetery and there was a cut on the finger. And i was sitting in the limo looking at this going thats the cut everybody is talking about. And then when the dna came out and the blood evidence, i was, like, that just sealed that sealed the envelope. The moment that changed for you was that phone call when he called you from that phone call. You mentioned the children. You said she gave you two children. Justin and sydney. They lived with o. J. For many years after the trial. How are they doing now as adults . You know what, theyre doing great. They have really carried themselves tall and theyre good kids, theyre not even kids anymore. Theyre young adults in their late 20s. Theyre professionals. They have gone on with their lives and they have created a sense of normalcy for their lives. They dont it is not their identity. They identify with it, with this whole tragedy and this incident because it is part of their life, but they dont it is not part of them anymore. And they really, yeah, they have really theyre standing tall and with dignity. Im very proud. They have been very quiet after this, doing their own thing and not really garnering much Media Attention which is good for them. Youve written a new memoir called finding peace amid the chaos, my escape from depression and suicide. You have a lot of advice for people going through loss because you suffered a lot. And you dealt with depression and you dealt with other things. Yeah, you know, this is my message and the whole purpose of me writing this book is so people start walking through the tornadoes of life. There is daily life chaos on every level. And if we dont address our issues, our anxieties, our stress, our distress, our despair, our grief, whatever that is for you if we dont face that stuff and cope with it, head on, youll find out, youll end up where i ended up, which is the psych unit ten years after nicole got killed. And i dont recommend going into a psychiatric ward. But my message is that nobody is alone in this, nobody is alone in this storm of life. Stuff happens. It is just how are you going to live it out on your own or pick up the phone and reach out for help and thank god my Suicide Attempt was interrupted by my sister dominique, thank god. But i didnt know that there was a hospital with a psychiatric unit right down the street from me. So i know the resources. And i know there is a lot of hurting people out there, death happens every single day. You know, stress happens every single day. And i didnt face any of that stuff. I had to bury six friends of mine in high school. And then the murder of my sister and what didnt dawn was the cancellation of my wedding in 2004. Losing a relationship is one thing, but trying to kill yourself over something is totally different. I knew i was spiraling down. And you did something about it. And i want to remind our viewers, the book youve written, finding peace amid the chaos my escape from depression and suicide by tonya brown. Everybody will be watching tomorrow, a candlelight vigil taking place for nicole and ron goldman. Thank you for joining us at cnn and were thinking about your family as well. Thank you.

Joining me now, yale galanter. Jeffrey toobin as well, the author of the run of his life the people v. O. J. Simpson. And attorney carl douglas who represented simpson in his criminal trial. Jeffrey, there is video of a Young Jeffrey toobin, i want to take you back to the trial. Youre in the courtroom, you sat behind the Goldman Family as the verdict was read. What was that verdict like . It was like nothing that ive experienced before since. It aged me, obviously. The going through it. I was stunned. I remember the jury was out only for one day. And just to lay my cards on the table, i thought then and i think now o. J. Was completely guilty of killing those two people. And i thought the jury got it wrong. And i was horrified, frankly. And then to compound the outrage of the day, we saw how the public reacted. We saw the incredible racial divisions, black folks cheering the verdict, white people appalled, which somehow made the whole experience both more important and more depressing because it created a political you were in the courtroom. You didnt see that. Those of us who were watching, you know, from their homes and i was watching at a newsroom and really took a moment to observe people and youre right, even in a newsroom, i was working for a local fox station, there was a separation of black and white people. Well talk more about that. I want to get to you, this was another big moment in the trial. You were there at that defense table that famous moment that drama when o. J. Tried on that glove, and then doesnt fit. You must acquit. What was that like . Ill tell you, don, ive been a lawyer for 34 years. Im in trial right now. But that is, without question, the most dramatic moment of my life. None of us knew at the moment what was going to happen. The experiment that chris darden tried to spring on us in itself was a surprise. So i remember sitting just two people away from mr. Simpson when he first tried on that glove, the camera to your right watching everything that was going to be happening then. And i recall johnnie telling us, theyre going to try on the glove, so not anyone react. And then i remember o. J. First putting on the nylon latex glove and after he first tried to put on the actual glove itself, the murder glove, it became clear that it didnt fit. And you saw o. J. Holding up his hand and standing up and walking over to the jury. He was then in full actor mode. I was going to say, that was quite a bit of acting. He sure was. Because he played that moment for all that it was worth. Yale, i want to talk to you. You were o. J. s attorney from 2013, im pretty sure. Yale if you can hear us, give us insight on what o. J. Thought about yale, cant hear us. Well get back to jeffrey, you thought it was a bit of acting and as you said, and as you heard jim moret say in that piece, right, this case was all about celebrity, about sex, about race, and murder. How did this trial change the way the media covers a case like this, with gavel to gavel coverage, even, you know before o. J. It wasnt bad, was it . Well, what happened was there was a tremendous bac
