When people talk about the upcoming criminal proceedings against former President Donald Trump, the sentence that comes up again and again is: “This will be the biggest media spectacle since the O. J. Simpson trial.” The former football star and actor stood before a jury in Los Angeles in 1995 for the murder of his ex-wife and her friend and was surprisingly acquitted. The live-streamed trial was watched by hundreds of millions of viewers for nine months and divided the nation like no other event. He shaped the debate about race relations for years to come – and Simpson died of cancer on Thursday at the age of 76, surrounded by his children and grandchildren, according to the short message service X.
