What is the most famous trial of the 20th century? Scopes Monkey? Brown versus the Board of Education? Miranda? Mike Tyson? More than likely O.J. Simpson and this book shows us why.

The author, Loretta Justice, brings to life a trial that for the most part was hated by everyone. Justice brings out the issues of race and racism that flooded and infected the process of the system of jurisprudence.

From court rulings that were amazing to tainted evidence to perjured testimony of witnesses, the author presents a compelling and pointed argument that money may buy you a great defense but it can't buy public opinion.

The books shows how Simpson is still treated as the "Brentwood Butcher" and how his live will never ever be normal again. The author does a great job; you have to decide if she is right. Overall exceptionally good reading!

This is the voice of most of America regarding OJ and the trial -- way to go Loretta Justice, your name says it all -- you speaketh the truth and it's justice for us all.

THIS BOOK IS FABULOUS, THE WRITER IS ARTICULATE, PRECISE AND ACCURATE -- SHE TRULY CAPTURED THE TRIAL AND REMARKABLY FROM HER LIVING ROOM. HER ACCOUNTS OF DARDEN AND THE PROSECUTION WERE STRAIGHT FROM THE HIP AND SHE DOESN'T BITE HER TONGUE!!! THIS IS A GREAT BOOK FOR STUDENTS OR ANYONE WHO DIDN'T WATCH THE TRIAL TO GET AN ACCURATE REVIEW, WHICH INCLUDES ACTUAL QUOTES FROM THE PLAYERS. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHICH TRIAL MS. JUSTICE WILL REVIEW NEXT!

This book is incredibly biased as the author conveniently omit the testimonies or facts that do not fit her theory. The author critised the prosecution and praised the defense based on her very subjective opinion and in a very unprofessional manner. The most laughable comment she made was that Darden wore dingy suits while Cochran wore designer suit.....what does that have anything to do with the trial. Plus, the only reason for this was probably because Cochran was paid much more than Darden, whose served the state to find justice, not to gain financially. The author criticised poeple for being racist, but the most racist is probably herself.
