Summary

It was the People of the State of California V. Orenthal James Simpson. 12 jurors sat and watched history being made as powerhouse prosecutors battled it out against the "Dream Team" in the heated Los Angeles courtroom. No evidence, no matter how strong, was a match for Simpson's skilled defense team. After deliberating for less than four hours, the jury came to its controversial verdict. Co-host of The Five Judge Jeanine Pirro provides her legal analysis of the OJ Simpson murder trial and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the defense and prosecution. Later, she reflects on the progress that's been made when it comes to handling domestic violence in the criminal justice system.
