15 years ago yesterday, the OJ Simpson trial officially began. It lasted until October. Careers were made during that trial. Just ask Greta Van Sustern. She was unknown before the trial, and a celebrity after it ended--because she covered it daily on CNN. Mark Fuhrman became a celebrity too.
Heck, I must admit, it wasn't bad for me either. During that trial the John Landecker show was cranking out material on a daily basis that shot us to the top of the Chicago radio ratings. Roe Conn is another one that was catapulted into the spotlight.
On the other hand, a guilty man probably got away with murder. I know he's in jail now, but OJ Simpson was actually acquitted.
It's still hard to believe 15 years later.
