It was called "The Trial of the Century", but far more interesting than the trial itself is the enduring legacy of OJ Simpson; the way his story serves as a condemnation of some of the most sickening and shameful parts of modern American culture; the enduring legacies of racism and misogyny; a culture in which celebrities are both idols to be worshiped and commodities to be consumed and discarded; the shallowness of our legal system, and the immorality of our media industry.
In many ways OJ's life was Shakespearean. As the tragicomic hero of his own story, he was condemned to be both victim and villain.
Join us for the culmination of this very special two-parter on The Juice: O.J. Simpson, hero, villain, wife-beater.
