OJ Simpson 19 years ago!

Yesterday June 17 was a 19th anniversary of the infamous white Bronco Chase on Southland freeways with O.J. Simpson it was one of the biggest spot news media events of the century. Most people can remember where they were that evening and the NBA finals actually stopped the finals to show the chase on the video board in the arena.

As a news photographer I was involved with trying to capture images of O.J. Simpson in all aspects of what had taken place and was going to take place. Mr. Simpson had been accused of killing his wife and her friend and everything that had to do with that matter from June 17, 1994 until October 3, 1995 when the not guilty verdict was read make it the biggest news/media event of the 20th century.

2014 will be of 20th year America and the world is still fascinated there is also still a great racial divide reference the trial and the verdict my team and I are now working on a documentary to tell the story from the perspective of the one journalists who never missed a day of the hearings and trial who’s story they never wanted the American people and the world to know!

I will say this eventually the truth that was crushed to the ground rises! The American people and the world will know what took place in that courtroom and sometimes outside and it will be left up to you! The people to decide for yourself if you were lied to and “WHO” lied to you!
