The O. J. Simpson murder case - "The Trial of the Century" was held at the Los Angeles County Superior Court in which former NFL great, O. J. Simpson was tried on two counts of murder for the June 12, 1994, deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. After the highly publicized low-speed chase in his white Ford Bronco and the televised trial, Simpson was declared not guilty of murder on both counts. Following Simpson's acquittal, no additional arrests or convictions related to the murders have been made. According to the newspaper USA Today, the case has been described as the "most publicized" criminal trial in history. The Brown and Goldman families subsequently filed a civil lawsuit against Simpson. On February 4, 1997, the jury unanimously found Simpson responsible for both deaths. The families were awarded compensatory and punitive damages totaling $33.5 million but have received only a small portion of that.
