S1. E22. Author Uncut Podcast Final Episode of Season: My Life During the OJ Simpson Trial and Why He's Still a Headline Maker (AuthorUncut.com)

THIS IS MY FINAL EPISODE OF THE SEASON. Season 2 Episode 1 will air Monday, February 10, 2020. (Note: There are graphic descriptions).

The words "Not Guilty" set one man free, but somehow made all African-Americans, no matter their varied opinions, the enemy.

"... the defendant, Orenthal James Simpson, not guilty of the crime of murder..."

The Trial of the Century had come to an end. The verdict hit the airwaves and the eyes of the nation descended on the city that made superstars out of attorneys.

As an African-American recent college graduate living and working in the city, that verdict had a profound effect on me and the life I made for myself. The trial and the shocking verdict served as the impetus for what would be months of turmoil and unrest.

From the horrific Rodney King assault, to the unsettling residuum following the O.J. Simpson verdict, my life changed in profound ways.

** Do you still feel the same way that you did when the verdict was announced?
