Dana 1 of the most controversial americans of ouro. Time, o. J. Simpson dead at 76 after a battle with prostate cancer. Hesosta regarded as 1 of Theea Greatest Running Backs of alld time and used his ports famed ts turn himself into a household name. Started commercials and many movies. But everything changed the night of june 12, 1994 when simpsons exwife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were found brutally stabbed to death in a courtyard outside her home in la. Oj charged with their deaths, tried and eventually acquitted in the trial of the century. [ siren wails ] it is a pursuit and unfortunately it has a lot of mitigating circumstances because of the high profillot e of thefh proposed suspect thats inside the vehicle which appears to bep at this time o. J. Simpson. The most dramatic and heart. Stopping moment of the trial. In front of the jury o. J. Jur simpson trying on the Gloves Prosecutors say he was wearing tonight he murderes sad his ex. He tried to show the gloves dono not fit. It doesnt fit. Fit. If it doesnt fit, you must acquit. He we th je jury in the above to find the defendant not guilty of the crim e of murder in violationof of Penal Code Section 187 a, a felony upon Nicole Brown Simpson. Dana oj was suedcour separately in civil court for wrongful death were a jury found him liable. The Goldman Family speaking about hi s death saying the only thing i have to say is just a further reminder of ron being gone all these years. It its nso great loss to the wor. Its a further reminder of ron being gone. Ronjudge, it was interesting to listen to some of the Youngerho Producers Today who did not live through it and know about it, they may have watched the documentary or that show that was on it but for those of us who live through it, and im sure from your lens is a lawyer and a judge. Judge jeanine i was 1 of the talking heads. Dana so thats why we have you here today. Judge jeanine yes. I was a sitting da at the time and i will never forget june 12th. I justh. Been elected to da in i Westchester County countyn n new york. Ne one ofw the guys, i had my hom office at my house. One ofs the guys came out andd, said boss o. J. Simpson is in a white bronco and the police are chasing him. U a few of us went into the kitchen. We could not out figure out whas going on. And then we realized, we went t into the den because there were a lot more of us, that he was supposed to show up at the Police Department and turn himself in. He refused to do so so we are all these prosecutors together saying this is flight. But what we did not realize that night was thatha this was the beginning of one of the mostst sensational trials, if not the most sensational trial, of the century. The media wa s fascinated, the public was fascinated. The public had never seen a courtroom, they had never seen n trial. People would runan home from wok and say ive got to watch the trial, ive got to see what was going on. And i and so many others, i mean i stayed as da and i was a judge before that but i did not go into television from there. M but so many people got there t jump into television from this. But one of the most significant parts is thet United States got people in this country were all involved in this shared experience of what the Current System is like and the new dna. What did it mean . . How significant was it . What about, you know, the pcr, what about all of the other different types. And then there was the undercurrent of racism in theths trial. That because it was brought to a head. Ho wo many people critical of the decision by the jury in this trial that ran for nine months. Mo it ran for nine months. I mean people made careers out of this. D th the jury made the decision in less than four hours. I remember being on Live Television at the time and they came in and focused on all of us and this was a jury of eightblai believe two whites and thereev were many who believed that because of the racism, because, of the issues, that thed goldmans and that Nicole Browns since him were literally paying for the sins of the fathers. On a and theres always been this question about easy guilty or isnt he. Foyor those of us who Understooi The Forensics and the dna and all of the other stuff going onh you know, the idea that the glove did not fit, give me a break. The glove was covered with blood the blood shrunk. Ha of course he could not get hiss. Hands in the gloves. But, you know, you accept Thef Decision of the jury and of course he got burnt later in the civil case where he barely paid any of the money. But the public fascination with witthis, it began a whole new e of people with Crime Stories and court tv and all of us who love this and make this part of our careers,r we were happy that fm now on we have juries who understood what dna was, they understood direct circumstantial evidence. Anyway. Dana i could ask you 20,000 more questions but richard fowler, from your peperspective . O pick up oim going t there becausffe i remember this case well. I wahes in the third grade when the verdict came out and i remember sitting in Class Whentc The Teacher played it on the radio and i remember the reaction i had because to thes judges point,ris case was rifea with race. To understand Thuse Principle of the trial you have to understan, what was happening in la at that time. Two years playerior there was e rodney king beating, those fouri officers got A Change Of Venue and they were acquitted afterter beating rodney king. There was just tension in theif air and if you go back, we wereo talking to producers before the show, you could watch the footage and see two americans, people who were neighbors, blaci people saying this is great and white people crying at the same time watching this verdict, despite the evidence catches bec because of where we were as Aou Countrnty and just how ripe the racial tension was around the lapd. I think that was sort of made worse by the tapes that had Comi Out Indd the middle of the tria. Its an interesting Moment Inin History but to the judges pointe it also created the cable news cycle, the 24hour media, all this idea that you can follow ar case iimn these true crimeiv stories, this narrative that we now live in was created by thiss case, byim the o. J. Simpson tril and here we are. A lot of years later. R. Dana here we are. We primetime. Jesse i was 16 when this t happened. I used Tusedo Come Back From W Practice Andat watch the case. Ni i remember exactly what you said and realizing how divided the country was. I think is a white guy i waske like wow, this guy is a killer. I he just got away with murder. Wt the evidence is obvious. T anhed then you see images of bla america celebrating. And im not saying all black america felt that oj was innocent. Im saying that when you see people cheering and then explaining that, good, you know, finally we have someone who looks like us use the Justice System in their favor. D anitd it was almost like a wake, call. People realized wait a second, may be this system isnt always about justice, maybe its about money. And o. J. Simpson was so wealthy and to the judges point, ina finally startelld admiring these defense lawyers. D th these guys they called the drea team. Y these guys so much money and it was almost like they had superpowers. I was dazzled with johnny cochrane. I was just hanging on everywhere he said, i could not believe it. Not only did the glove shrink because of the blood, judge, he had advised oj to stop takingse his arthritis medication. So his knuckles at swollen. And then you look at the da ande evidence and you are looking, wait a second, this stuff cann get contaminated. And thankfully, years later, The Chain Of Custody has now gotten perfect where you dont even let anybody breathe near this thingt i just want to say my heart goes out to the Goldman Family, thebr brown family. Ow it does look like the estate now owes them almost 100 million because oj, i dont know how he did it, he avoided paying these peopleno. I hope they collect. Dana how you are you gonna say how old you were, right . Greg i wasnt born so its nice to here this from all the old people. But i have to say this one really hurts. Yrts. Its funny, i always thinkt that car c rental commercial whe im running through the airport after stabbing two people. Did you think that steve do csh wife was in the commercial, shee tosses theys car keys to oj. In i think k she really dodged a bullet or at least a knife. I think ojs real crime was making jeffrey famous. Ac some factsts about oj, he left behind five children and other d people he did not murder. He dies holding the i guess the record for the average rushing yards per game and most stabs in a brentwood driveway. Dr do we really know hes dead though . Maybe we should ask an la jury, they might declare him alive. S o whos going to search for the real killer now . I hearille jesse small that is. Hes been searching, maybe heot could back this in. One note to khloe kardashian,t you maa y have lost a dad but yu still have two moms. So now, justice, my lesson here is justice is wholly fallible if it can be throttled from outside forces. You cant ge ot a fair trial, ad that wasnt a fair trial to the victims. So you neeeed to apppply that ln to now. We are in a political and social and emotional climate wherefa getting a fair trial is hard to get as much as you hate derek chauvin, right, you still no, that trial was unfair thanks to the documentary, the involvement in minneapolis. And theres no chance for a fair trial in new york or else thets proponents would not mind if you moved it outside of new york. So what i learned, its not about the evidence in the trial, its were you presented. Its not about whats inside the courtroom, its about whats outside the courtroom. Ow and how it applies pressure to the judge and the jury, whether its the threat of public chaos or media outrage. Ag the oj triale, showed us what would and what could come when the court of Public Opinionps trumps the t actual court of la. That juri made a political decision, an emotional decision, but it certainly wasnt a legal one. Jesse if i could make at programming notewe, tonight we have on Jesse Watters nprimetime. A great booking. O. J. Simpson dead at 76 years old today. P ahead, President Biden hobnobbing with celebrities at a state dinner while Americansls T skip meals to afford housing. [ ] heres to Getting Better with age. Heres to beating these two every thursday. Help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need. Without the stuff you dont. So, heres to now. Boost. Remember space . And legroom . Thats more like it. The threerow lexus tx. [ ] j judge jeanineud just call him joe antoinette. Th the white house rolling out the red carpet for a swanky state dinner with the japanese prime minister. While Regularr Americans are feeling the pain from yetfr another devastating inflation report. Washington Got TomnotheroSmoot Schmooze with big tip Tech Millionaires and hollywood celebs. La billry and hillary were walkingk around like they owned thepl place, even though they arey never getting the keys back. D bo and boyd was it a feast. The elites gorging on housew cured salmonsc, dry aged ribeye steak and fava beans. While they got to fill their bellies, a new report claims that an Alarming Number of americans are skipping meals just so that they can affordippi their home. Th and this has got a staying. A voter panel on bidens favorite cable new show, morning joe, is slamming bidenomics. Rs we hear from voters insi michigan, wisconsin ann,d pennsylvania, undecided voters. Here are their answers when the are asked about how President Biden is doing on the economy. Take a listen. You would think Trumps Economics will be better for your family, raise her hand. So that is everybody. Sn hes noest looking at i homelessness or joblessness are thinking about what it cost to go to the Grocery Store, hes got lighting everyone in the process. Judge jeanine bu jt bidenen defenders are doing their best to brainwash voters into t thinking that the economy is doing great. Social media and the socmisrepresentation, disinformation, all of those things are out there and that is a battle that we have to fight and we have to do a better job of fighting it more effectively. We just got breaking news. B the consumerre price index increased at a Faster Thancted expected pace last month. A signal that inflation remains stubbornly high. H. Judge jeanine okay jesse i will start with you. Ll s even the undecided voters on that panel with Morning Joe Wera complaining and basically saying joe is in denial, he does not understand how much we are hurting. Do you think that morning show m was trying to send a message they know he watches every hey morning. Jesse it depends on if they know what they were going to here first. I dont know if they knew what,h the answers would be first but that looked to me like the first time theyd interviewed anybody besides themselves. We have johnny. Ee johnny goes out to the streetst and gets the pulse of the people. I dont think theyve got in the polls. I think theipulsr only Pulse Ise Studio and thats not going toog cut it. Cudisinformation . They actually put out a report that that inflation is a good a thing last year. G the expectation is that inflation is going to cool to as point were g hes going to comeo an cd have a little runway goinn into november, but thats not going to happen so i have advicv for the lives and richard. Because you cant bringot inflation down fast enough, you have to say this, you have to say donald trump will make inflation worse. You have t o say donald trump will let russia just ripped through ukraine and Make H Ukpootmans price hike even bi. You have to say trumps tax cutso are going to make inflation worse, you are going to say trumps greedy ceo buddies areo going tobu keep gouging you, an this billionaire does not even l know what the price of milk is anyway though dont fall for it. That is what they have to do. Why did i just say that . I am because i am so bored of saying the same thing for four years. Judge jeanine okay, all right richard. Would you like to answer that . Jim says that people are in denial, that they are not reall seeing how bidenomics is helping them. Le ai mean people are every day oh the Grocery Store seeing it. , a i agree with jesses point a that there c is a clear contrast to be made between the current occupant of the white house andt the former occupant. I think when you hear donald trump talk about the economy he wants r the American People, he reminisces about 2018 or 2017 but you rarely hear him talk about 2025 or 2026 or 2027 or what hes going to do when he wins. He just reminisces about themi past. I think al abol those argumentse true, jesse, thank you. Go [ Simultaneous Talking ]but but i also think that there has to be some contrition from this white house in saying listen, the inflation is not exactly where we want it to be,t but here are the things we are doing to make your life easier a at home. One thintg that we are doing is this, we are capping the cost of late fees on credit cards to Eight Dollars a month which means that will save the American PeopleWorking Families up to 12 billion every year. Ar weve already capped Insulin Payments to 35 for senior citizens, not to mention theac fact that we had the Longestthe Sprint of job growth. Weve seen the gdp grow andel while yoinu are not feeling it yet, these impacts are comingar your way because we are working on it and actively working on it and meanwhile back at the ranchi we havdae a candidate thatsthe talking about the 2020 election or how the economy was doing in 2017 or like you say, he doesf not know the price of milk. M jesse stealing my line,richard. Yo judge jeanine you know what, dana, richard was saying that they are just not feelinggh those benefits yet. Heres the difference. You go to the supermarket [ inaudible ]h, if you look a at the increases are incredible for the stuff that you really need andoe then so if you are at the Grocery Store and you see people who are looking at their cartis like i guess i have to put this back, thats a terrible feeling for anybody. Y. If thats happening all across the country, they do have apr serious problem. A couple oa f things on this. One, who is the white house is Powerhouse Communicator on theot economy . They dont have one. They put out a lot but hes not able to talk about this. Pres the press secretary is not peo convincing people. By h john kirby has his hands fullth with a National Security issues. Kamala harris is not coming people down about inflation,rtai certainly the present a
