This number-one New York Times best seller is an unflinching look at what the television cameras could not show: behind-the-scenes meetings, the deteriorating relationships between the defense and prosecution teams, the taunting, baiting, and pushing matches between Darden and Simpson, the intimate relationship between Darden and Marcia Clark, and the candid factors behind Darden's controversial decision for Simpson to try on the infamous glove, and much more.

Frank, compelling account of racialized trial
Revisado: 12-13-21
Mr. Darden presents a very iimportant perspective, particularly as an African American, prosecuting Simpson. He sheds light on the complicated, thankless, dangerous position in which he found himself for taking on the unpopular job of proving a Black man guilty of the ultimate crime. While his motives were laudable, Darden demonstrates that equality under the law for African Americans is deeply troubled, due to the gross injustices expected by African Americans by law enforcement and the judicial system from the past. Still, and I hope this isn't too much of a spoiler, he argues that the most equitable system of justice is the one in which the guilty party is held accountable, which got lost in this case.

In a book that's certain to make headlines, the only person to prosecute O.J. Simpson successfully for double homicide reveals the gripping, behind-the-scenes story of how he prepared for, and won, the civil trial, why the prosecution team in the criminal trial failed, and what actually happened that night in Brentwood.

Great unsensationalized proof of attacker's guilt
Revisado: 12-13-21
I really appreciated Petrocelli's lucid, succinct, sensitive approach to navigating the law in the wake of this terribly public, celebrity, racialized trial. He provides irrefutable, cogent evidence of holding the correct person accountable for the attacks and murders of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown. in this account, the reader learns Goldman was a completely blameless victim in Brown's troubles with her ex-husband--when they turned murderous. Simpson's actions also reflects typical behavior of domestically violent spouses, of escalating abuse and danger for the abused--especially when she or he leaves. This legal account pairs well with Christopher Darden's touching, transparent account of the criminal trial. I've not yet read or listened to other attorneys from the trial: for me these two suffice! Thank you.
