It has been described as the most publicized criminal trial in American history, and it all began on back in 1994. It was on today's date that after a lengthy car "chase" along a Los Angeles freeway that was broadcast to the world, and a failed suicide attempt that OJ Simpson was finally arrested, and charged for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. The rest that followed as they say is a very sad bit of American justice history.

I remember my sister, a friend who was visiting, and I becoming glued to the television during the white Bronco chase. We had been planning on going out, but instead watched the news from home. These were shocking, and horrific murders, and at the time I was equally shocked to hear that OJ was the prime suspect. It just goes to show how we think we know celebrities because they seem familiar to us through their work, but that really couldn't be further from the truth.
