Here is the account of the O.J. Simpson murder case that no one else has dared to write, the one that millions of Americans, fascinated by the spectacle of this Trial of the Century, yet deeply dissatisfied with the verdict, have been waiting to read. When Vincent Bugliosi was prosecuting Charles Manson and his "family" in the murder case that was the basis of his book Helter Skelter (the best-selling true-crime book in publishing history), one of the defense attorneys said before the trial: "There's no case against Manson and the other defendants. All the prosecution has are two fingerprints and Vince Bugliosi." It was enough: Bugliosi never lost a murder case. But in the Simpson case there was a mountain of incriminating evidence pointing inevitably and absolutely to the defendant's guilt. What happened? What went wrong? Much of that evidence, including some of the most vital pieces was never presented to the jury by the prosecutors; there were disastrous lapses in the prosecution's strategy, which allowed damaging defense testimony to go unchallenged; prosecutors Clark and Darden failed to stand up to the abuses of Judge Ito, thereby hurting their credibillity with the jury; the final summations of the prosecution were weakly constructed, listlessly argued, and, most unforgivably, inadequately prepared. The trial was a travesty of justice, a showcase of incompetence. Watch then, as the man who has been called the "quintessential prosecutor" by none other than F. Lee Bailey, one of Simpson's defense attorneys, lays out this powerful evidence in its proper sequence, as he forestalls or rebuts the ploys of the defense, as he draws the noose of implacable logic around Simpson's neck in a brilliant, thrilling, and memorable final summation. It is too late for justice to be done in this case: Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson are dead; O.J. Simpson is a free man. But in the pages of this book you will learn how there could have been and should have been a different verdict. (Publisher)
