O.J. Simpson spent decades in the public eye as a football star, actor, and eventually the defendant in two of the most watched trials in American history. Crime writer Aphrodite Jones centers this installment of her series on the case that finally sent him to prison: the 2007 Las Vegas hotel room confrontation over sports memorabilia, which prosecutors charged as armed kidnapping and robbery. Jones works backward from that conviction to the 1995 murder trial over the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, using interviews with people connected to the cases to trace a pattern of temper and violence running through Simpson's life rather than treating the Las Vegas incident as an isolated lapse. She also looks at how Simpson's celebrity and his legal team's handling of the media shaped the murder trial's outcome, and how race became part of the public argument over the verdict. The film stays close to court records and firsthand accounts rather than speculation, following one famous figure from acquittal to eventual imprisonment.
