The trial spanned eleven months, from the jury's swearing-in on November 9, 1994. Opening statements were made on January 24, 1995, and Simpson was acquitted of both counts of murder on October 3 of the same year.
Prior to this trial, Clark's highest-profile prosecution was in 1991, when she prosecuted Robert John Bardo for the murder of television star Rebecca Schaeffer. Clark said that the media attention she received during the trial was "the hell of the trial", calling herself "famous in a way that was kind of terrifying".
She worked as a deputy district attorney for Los Angeles County, California, and was mentored by prosecutor Harvey Giss.
Horowitz was briefly in the news after he sold topless photos of Clark to the National Enquirer during the O. J. Simpson trial. In 1980, Clark married her second husband, Gordon Clark, a computer programmer and systems administrator who was employed at the Church of Scientology.
On the prosecution side, Marcia Clark served as lead counsel, supported by Christopher Darden. Lasting close to a year, the trial and the events surrounding it were considered the most publicized events the world had ever seen. To many, it became a media circus full of colorful characters, opportunists and courtroom dysfunction ...
Pleading not guilty to the murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, which occurred on June 12, 1994, Simpson hired a "dream team" defense, which included lead attorney Robert Shapiro, Johnnie Cochran (who later took over as lead counsel), F. Lee Bailey, Barry Scheck, Robert Kardashian and Alan Dershowitz.
After prosecutor Darden made the mistake of demanding Simpson try on the ill-fitted bloody gloves, Cochran uttered the famous phrase: "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.".
Due to Kaelin's shiftiness on the stand , prosecutor Clark turned against him and treated him as a hostile witness. Regardless, Kaelin — with his thick tufts of blond hair and surfer dude ways — gained considerable popularity in the media as a likable and comedic character of the trial.
Reportedly, one juror wholly dismissed Park's testimony because he was unable to recall the number of cars parked at the Rockingham mansion.
Aspiring actor and houseguest of Simpson, Brian "Kato" Kaelin was a star witness for the prosecution. Present at Simpson 's Rockingham mansion at the time of the murders, Kaelin claimed that he ate dinner with Simpson that night but could not account for the star athlete's whereabouts between the hours of 9:36 p.m. and 11 p.m. (the prosecution theorized that Simpson murdered his ex-wife and Goldman between 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.).
Although Darden floundered at the start of the trial and was purportedly intimidated by Cochran, he gained momentum as events progressed. However, he made a consequential mistake when he demanded that Simpson try on the infamous bloody gloves, which ended up being too small for the accused's hands.

Lance must have caught my distress, because, in a singular act of compassion, he quickly managed to recess court for the day.”. According to an article published in TIME Magazine in May 1995, drama was common in the courtroom during the trial.
In episode six titled, “ Marcia, Marcia, Marcia ,” Clark, played by Sarah Paulson, undergoes a makeover to present a more aesthetically pleasing front to the public. The series was a detailed look into the sexist cultural norms of the early 1990s.
It was later revealed that Marcia’s ex-mother-in-law, Clara Horowitz leaked the photos to the tabloid. After this, Clark’s reputation was tarnished and her privacy was subsequently inexistent. Additionally, Clark was dealing with time-consuming family issues of her own.
The attacks on Marcia Clark during the high-profile trial led the Baltimore Sun to publish an article titled “Marcia Clark’s Trials Have Now Begun Outside the Courtroom .”. Susan Reimer, the author of the article, wrote that Clark seemed to be virtually unaffected by working in a predominately male profession until the Simpson trial.
You will be missed by me.". Bailey in the 1960s secured a reversal of Dr. Sam Sheppard’s conviction in the murder of his pregnant wife and an acquittal at his second trial. He also represented Albert DeSalvo, who claimed to be the Boston Strangler, and Patricia Hearst.
Bailey earned a law degree from Boston University in 1960, where he had a 90.5 average, but he graduated without honors because he refused to join the Law Review. He said the university waived the requirement for an undergraduate degree because of his military legal experience.
