Love, divorce, sex, money, lies, videotapes, audio tapes, racism, and a nefarious cop put the LAPD on trial against a football legend. There was something sinister, something terribly frightening to capture a worldwide audience. This is a narrative of the most intriguing, unloved case in history. OJ Simpson's biggest supporters were, and are still, African-Americans; more specifically, black women! Who could enjoy this saga as the average bi-racial housewife living, on the east coast, yet living a parallel to the Hall of Fame icon? The 'obstruction' consisted of the surreptitious rulings and tainted evidence which influenced the triumphs and tragedies, and prevented OJ's vindication in the public eye. Learn why he is still seen by many as the Brentwood butcher, and how public criticism has crumbled his private world, including his children, who are torn between love and security. Hear how the jurors survived 266 days of sequestration while OJ was incarcerated for 465 days. Would OJ's and Nicole's families recoil in harmony? In a climate of hatred, a cloud of opinions under an umbrella of racism -- did the trial divide or educate those naive to accusations and despair?
