| | O. J. Simpson |
 | | Faced with murder charges his lawyers convinced the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to allow Simpson to turn himself in at 11 AM on June 17 even though the double murder charge meant no bail and a possible death penalty verdict. |
 | | Polls and surveys at the time indicated that the public's opinion of whether Simpson was the murderer split along racial lines, but rather than try the crime in the mostly white Santa Monica, California, the prosecution decided to have the trial in Los Angeles. |
 | | From an original jury pool of 40% white, 28% fl, 17% Hispanic, and 15% Asian, the final jury for the trial had 10 women and 2 men, of which there were 8 fls, 2 Hispanics, 1 half-Native American, half-white, and 1 white female. |
