O.J. Simpson, the former NFL icon, broadcaster and actor, died of cancer today at the age of 76.
While celebrated for his athletic achievements, his legacy remains shrouded by the 1995 acquittal in the tragic murder case of his ex-wife Nicole Simpson Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. The trial became a news sensation globally that divided America due to the reaction to the verdict. Simpson was ultimately acquitted of both counts of murder on October 3 of the same year.
Simpson was represented by a high-profile defense team, referred to as the “Dream Team,” which was initially led by Robert Shapiro. His legal council included F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Kardashian, Shawn Holley, Carl E. Douglas, and Gerald Uelmen. Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld were two additional attorneys who specialized in DNA evidence.

When reading actor Brian Cox's memoir "Putting the Rabbit in the Hat," I was disappointed that he didn't mention his work on David Fincher's superlative "Zodiac." Throughout the book, Cox shows no reluctance to burn bridges, and given his ribbing of "Succession" co-star Jeremy Strong's method acting, I was eager to see if he'd have similar words about Fincher's infamous perfectionism. Alas, no such stories exist.
True to its title, the 2007 "Zodiac" film is about the Zodiac killer, the still unidentified murderer who left Northern California quaking with fear as the 1960s closed. The film spans the 1960s to 1980s (with an epilogue in 1991), focusing on the killings and then Robert Graysmith's (Jake Gyllenhaal) investigation years later.

The story of the infamous serial-killer case nicknamed the Boston Strangler involved 13 sexual assaults and murders in the Boston area between 1962 and 1964. Officially, 12 of them have never been solved. The 13th, decades later, was proven through DNA techniques to be the chief suspect, and self-confessed “Boston Strangler” Albert DeSalvo. He was famously represented by F. Lee Bailey, who later would write a book about the case.

In the early 1960s, 13 women were murdered around the Boston area. Most were strangled with their own nylon stockings, leading the press to dub the murderer the “Boston Strangler.” That title also lends itself to Matt Ruskin’s newest feature on the killings, which foregrounds the reporting of Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightley) and Jean Cole (Carrie Coon) for the Record American. They not only coined the name but also wrote a four-part series highlighting the investigative gridlock that kept police from discovering the killer and kept the city on edge.
It’s a fascinating story that has been told before, to much less successful results, in 1968’s The Boston Strangler. Here, however, writer-director Matt Ruskin wisely hones in on McLaughlin, Cole, and the media circus that erupted during the killings. Despite dependable performances from Knightley and Coon, who honestly couldn’t be bad in anything, Boston Strangler is workmanlike above all,...

The heinous crimes of the Boston Strangler are at the center of Hulu's latest crime thriller, "Boston Strangler," which hits the platform on March 17. The original film stars Keira Knightley as Loretta McLaughlin, a Boston Record American investigative reporter determined to solve a string of sexually motivated serial killings in Boston in the 1960s. Along with fellow reporter Jean Cole (Carrie Coon), McLaughlin covered the killer's 13 murders until his eventual arrest in 1964.
The Boston Strangler has been referenced in entertainment several times since his crimes occurred, most notably in the 1968 film "The Boston Strangler," starring Tony Curtis and Henry Fonda. Still, the story itself - including the women that helped bring it to light - has gotten lost with the high-profile crimes that succeeded it. Ahead of the upcoming "Boston Strangler" premiere, here is the true story behind the murders that shook Boston.

There are some smart and even provocative ideas motivating Nicola B. Marsh’s four-part Showtime docuseries The 12th Victim, which aims to separate and rehabilitate Caril Ann Fugate from the legacy of notorious spree killer Charles Starkweather, whom she accompanied — whether willingly or unwillingly is the matter up for debate — on a multi-state rampage that left 11 people dead in 1958.
Fugate, still alive and now living in Michigan, has spent decades trying first to appeal her conviction, then for parole and finally for a full pardon. The 12th Victim, which features Oscar winner Morgan Neville among its producers, focuses less on clearing Fugate’s name in a legal sense and more on clearing her name in a cultural sense. The documentary targets the true crime genre and the way Hollywood’s mythologizing of society’s darkest and most unspeakable elements can become a proxy for the truth. This is especially true...

Renowned defense lawyer and former Good Company host, F, Lee Bailey has died at the age of 87.
Portrayed by Nathan Lane in the award winning The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Bailey was as high profile as many of his clients and almost as controversial in some circles. The death in Atlanta of the O.J., Patty Hearst and Sam Sheppard (inspiration for The Fugitive TV series) attorney has been confirmed by Bailey’s family, but no cause was revealed.
A fixture on the legal and pop culture fronts since the 1960s and having rarely met a microphone he didn’t like, Bailey was perhaps best known in his latter years for his participation in the defense of NFL legend Simpson in the criminal trial of the murder of O.J.s estranged wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. Eventually acquitted, though later found guilty in a civil trial,...

It’s some kind of paradox — he probably thought of it as a joke played on him by the gods — that Christopher Plummer, the impishly irascible, velvet-voiced star of stage and screen who died Friday at 91, was one of the great Shakespearean actors of the 20th century, as well as a notorious rapscallion who spent decades living the dissolute high life, yet the first thing that most people think of when they hear his name is “The Sound of Music,” the timelessly beloved 1965 musical that’s the sugary quintessence of G-rated Hollywood wholesomeness. “The Sound of Music” is not a hip movie to like. Critics have spent half a century taking snide swipes at it, and Plummer himself liked to call it “The Sound of Mucus.” Yet as an unashamed fanatic for it, I’d argue that “The Sound of Music” carries the hint of a more turbulent inner quality...

The Zodiac Killer attacked at least eight people in California between 1966 and 1969. He claimed to have killed at least 37 people, although only five of those deaths can be definitively attributed to the killer. While the Zodiac Killer has never been caught, his case is still active, and now one major mystery has been solved: an international team of private citizens and codebreakers have cracked the Zodiac Killer’s mysterious “340 Cipher” 51 years after it landed on the FBI’s desk.
Zodiac had a habit of taunting police by sending letters to the press, and several of those contained intricate codes, some of which he claimed would ultimately reveal his identity. This marks the second coded message to be broken by civilians. In July of 1969, a puzzle sent in pieces to The San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Examiner, and Vallejo Times-Herald newspapers in 1969, was cracked by a school teacher from Salinas, Calif.

It has long been said that the true story behind “The Fugitive,” the Harrison Ford action classic that turns 25 years old today, is very loosely based on the ’50s murder case, conviction and acquittal of Sam Sheppard. Both Sheppard and Ford’s Richard Kimble were doctors, and both were wrongly accused of murdering their wives after an intruder broke into their home.
And the similarities end there.
The assailant Sheppard fought with was not a one-armed man, as in the film. It was said Sheppard’s motive was that he was having an affair, a detail not in the movie. Sheppard never escaped from prison, least of all from a moving, crashing train. And the real killer was never even found!

Now the director is set to helm an untitled Patty Hearst biopic based on the book by Jeffery Toobin which is called American Heiress. The story is said to trace the "audacious, kaleidoscopic and psychologically twisted story of a true-life Alice in Wonderland.”
It will follow Hearst’s capture and two-year detainment by the Symbionese Liberation Army in the mid 1970’s, as well as her transition from hostage to warrior. The kidnapped heiress captured the world’s attention when she was caught on tape participating in armed bank robberies. Her arrest and trial sparked a media frenzy.

Former O.J. Simpson defense attorney F. Lee Bailey filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Maine on Friday, reporting $5.6 million in debt to the IRS. According to the Portland Press Herald, Bailey owes the money due to a dispute over his reportable income from 1993-2001. “After trying very hard to settle the case, the IRS turned me down on the grounds that I am a celebrity and it would look bad for them to settle the case,” Bailey told the paper. “There’s a good case to be made for bias, but I’m not the one to make that case.” Also Read: Robert.

The TV event of 2016 so far was surely FX's marvelous miniseries The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, which turned the Trial of the (last) Century into 10 fascinating, funny, tragic hours of drama that shed new light on a case that most of its viewers thought they already knew by heart. Given the phenomenon of The People v. O.J., you would think a five-part, 7.5-hour (10 with commercials) documentary on the same subject would be redundant. Who needs to spend even more time watching a retelling of Simpson's trial for murdering ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman? Instead, Espn's newest 30 for 30 film O.J.

“The People v. O.J. Simpson” contained lots of bizarre-but-true details — about Johnnie Cochran’s domestic issues, Marcia Clark being mocked for buying tampons, and there being two white Broncos. Lots of details about Chris Darden (Sterling K. Brown), Clark (Sarah Paulson), Cochran (Courtney B. Vance), F. Lee Bailey (Nathan Lane), and O.J.

A review of tonight's The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story coming up just as soon as I notice the smell of mint julip and condescension in the air... One of the more impressive aspects of The People v. O.J. is how generous and empathetic it's been. There are certain figures from the trial — O.J. himself, Shapiro, the Kardashian kids — for whom the show can't really disguise its contempt, but for the most part it's dug deep to find the humanity inside all these characters whom media coverage of the case long ago turned into cartoons. It looks at Marcia Clark and Chris Darden, for instance, and in no way excuses them for the blatant and easily avoidable ways in which they bungled the prosecution, but it also shows the many complications they had to deal with due to gender and/or race, the insane circus atmosphere of the trial,...

We're accidentally having nearly a full television day today at our mostly movies site so this is as good a time as any to try to reboot that idea about a weekly glance at what we're loving on TV. So I asked members of the team to name a Mvp of their television week and here's what they said...
Mvp: "If it doesn't fit...," Scene
Show: The People Vs. Oj Simpson
This show gets better and better. In an episode chock-full of riveting moments, there was never any real doubt that The moment would be the presentation of the iconic gloves, the gloves the prosecution was so convinced would win the case for them. After tracing what led to the fatal error of asking Simpson to try them on—Chris Darden’s desire for a “big moment” to beat the defense at their own game, and perhaps to make up...

The Performer | Sarah Paulson
The Show | The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story
The Episode | “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia” (March 8, 2016)
The Performance | To date, Sarah Paulson showed us a cool, calm and collected prosecutor, diligently getting her ducks in a row in building case against accused murderer O.J. Simpson. But in “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia,” so many of those ducks, plus others, transformed into dominoes that started toppling over in rapid succession, testing the resolve of even the best person.

Playing O.J. Simpson defense attorney F. Lee Bailey in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Nathan Lane called the n-word "the most powerful word in the English language" – and gleefully threatened to "impale" Det. Mark Fuhrman, who discovered key evidence at the crime scene but allegedly had a history of using the racist epithet.
During Tuesday night's episode, Bailey asked Fuhrman (Steven Pasquale) on the stand if he'd used the slur in the past 10 years, repeating the word multiple times – just as he did in real life as stunned Americans watched the proceedings on TV.

The People v. O.J. Simpson's Shocking, Uncensored N-Word Scene Sparks Passionate Response on Twitter
Tuesday's The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story includes what may go down as one of the most shocking scenes on television this year.
First, O.J. Simpson defense attorney F. Lee Bailey (Nathan Lane) utters an uncensored N-word as he has drinks with his colleagues, including Johnny Cochran (Courtney Vance), laying out his plan for the next day.
In another uncensored scene near the end the episode, Lane's Bailey utters the N-word multiple times while cross examining Mark Fuhrman (Steven Pasquale), the police detective known for using racial epithets, repeatedly asking him if he's ever used the N-word – as the camera swoops dramatically.

A few thoughts on tonight's The People v. O.J. Simpson coming up just as soon as my stylist turns me into Rick James... How appropriate that we get to wrap up International Women's Day with "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia," The People v. O.J.'s sympathetic mash note to doomed O.J. prosecutor Marcia Clark. It's not straight-up hagiography, as it points out various mistakes Clark made during this period — continuing to dismiss Darden's concerns about letting Mark Fuhrman testify, taking a big stand in court about needing to get home to her kids and then asking her husband to watch them that night (a move that she had to know would blow up in her face, given the contentiousness of the divorce and her new hugely public identity) — but it also illustrates the many challenges she had to face throughout the trial that none of her male counterparts did.

A few thoughts on tonight's The People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story coming up just as soon as I don't have a Father's Day reservation... Celebrity is one of the key subjects of The People V. O.J. as a whole, and particularly of "The Dream Team." The hour gives us Robert Kardashian's lecture about the hollowness of fame falling on his children's deaf ears. It gives us Kato experiencing the upside and downside of fame in under a minute. And it gives us Gil Garcetti's proclamation that "a star is born" after Marcia Clark's first major press conference about the case. Mainly, though, the hour is concerned with the growing number of celebrity attorneys who will be mounting O.J.'s very expensive defense. Robert Shapiro, who specialized in plea bargains, came to realize that he needed a lot of help (even if he...

Last Week's Review: 'The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story' Episode 2, 'The Run of His Life,' Gets Inside the White Bronco Opening Statement After two episodes, the stage has been set for the trial of the century, and by the end of Episode 3, all the major players on both sides have been lined up. After some panic over his ability to actually win the case, Robert Shapiro brings in some heavy-hitters — celebrity lawyers F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz and Johnnie Cochran — as well as the key strategies that could dismantle the prosecution's major advantages. Meanwhile, Marcia Clark Is losing key witnesses to the allure of "cash for trash" — selling their stories to the media before she can get them on the stand. But while she originally feels pretty confident that the physical evidence will win them the day, it's Christopher Darden who helps her realize they can't...

"Fame is fleeting," Robert Kardashian tells his kids in an early episode of FX's The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story (it debuts tomorrow night at 10). "It's hollow. It means nothing at all without a virtuous heart." Young Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Rob look at their father like he's speaking some long-dead language they have no hope of understanding. Their dad is on TV, and getting priority seating at overbooked restaurants, all because he's famous — and only famous, at that, because his best friend happens to be Simpson, the world's most famous accused murderer. Of course fame means everything to these kids. The People v. O.J. — the first installment of a new FX anthology series from Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, Glee), and not to be confused with ABC's similarly-titled anthology series American Crime — isn't really a Keeping Up with the Kardashians origin story. The kids only appear...

The first full trailer for upcoming FX series "American Crime Story" is out, which means it's our first real look at the 10 episode season about the O.J. Simpson trial. We've got a bunch of familiar actors playing familiar names, both from the 1995 trial and today (i.e. Selma Blair plays Kris Jenner, whose profile is now higher than pretty much anyone else associated with the trial). Cuba Gooding, Jr. is O.J. Simpson, John Travola is Robert Shapiro, Sarah Paulson is Marcia Clark, David Schwimmer is Robert Kardashian, Nathan Lane is F. Lee Bailey, and Courtney B. Vance is Johnnie Cochran. "American Crime Story" is produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, who also created "American Horror Story" (they did not, however, create Acs). Acs has been described as a companion series to or a spin-off of Ahs, although obviously the shows are very different. One way they are similar, though,...

In between his work on the final season of Parenthood and writing the script for his upcoming CHiPs remake, Dax Shepard stayed busy, shooting The Judge and This Is Where I Leave You at the same time. Playing a young lawyer alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall in one, and a jerk radio host alongside Jason Bateman and Tina Fey in the other, Shepard didn’t originally plan on starring in either of the films. But after one email and a few auditions for The Judge and one favor and a table read for This Is Where I Leave You,...

Two decades after one of the most polarizing trials in American history, our nation has generally settled on a consensus about the O.J. Simpson trial: 1) He probably did it, and, 2) The Lapd blew the case by mishandling forensic evidence. But as with other news events where objective truth has become buried under years of gossip and rumor, the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman have attracted a fair share of experts who are convinced they've figured out what really happened June 12, 1994. Perhaps that's a consequence of a cultural flashpoint where nobody on either side of the debate got any semblance of closure.

Investigators helped by advances in DNA technology finally have forensic evidence linking longtime suspect Albert DeSalvo to the last of the 1960s slayings attributed to the Boston Strangler, leading many of the case's players to hope that it can finally be put to rest. DeSalvo's remains will be exhumed after authorities concluded that DNA from the scene of Mary Sullivan's rape and murder produced a "familial match" with him, Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley said. Conley said he expected investigators to find an exact match when the evidence is compared with his DNA. Sullivan, 19, was found strangled in her Boston apartment in January 1964. Sullivan,...
