Nearly 150 million people watched the stunning verdict as O.J. Simpson was found not guilty of the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. The nearly-year-long trial gripped the nation, but the case still casts a long shadow. The enduring themes of this “trial of the century” are race and the judicial system; the importance of jury selection; the use of “trial consultants” in a high-profile case and the most controversial topic of “jury nullification.” Led by the Honorable Dennis J. Curran, retired Massachusetts Superior Court Justice. He has taught law at Tufts University, Roger Williams University School of Law, and Brown University.
