This article will describe the most widely covered and publicized murder trial in American history . It happened in 1994 when famous former football star , OJ Simpson was charged in the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Simpson had the money and the high profile to hire what as later called as the "Dream Team" of Las Vegas criminal defense attorney or Las Vegas criminal defense lawyer. This trial was so closely and broadly covered that all of the lawyers involved in the case, whether on the defense or the prosecution became celebrities in their own right. On of the most outspoken defense attorneys on Simpson's team was Johnnie Cochran. This high profile attorney gave passionate performances in the courtroom to disprove all of the overwhelming evidence against Simpson . He is famous for using the phrase, "If it don't fit, then you must acquit" that was about a bloody glove that had the matching one found at Simpson's house that had a blend of Simpson's and the two victims blood on it. In the trial, Cochran said that glove could not have been put on by the athletically built Simpson because it was simply too small. He then had Simpson physically show how hard it was for him to try to get the glove to go on his hand . It has been guessed that the Dream team of defense representation cost Simpson somewhere between 3-6 million dollars , the most expensive criminal defense expense to date . Another attorney F. Lee Bailey led the team to argue that LAPD detective, Mark Fuhrman, actually illegally put evidence at the crime scene as well as being racist and pushed to have Simpson to be found guilty. The other two defense attorneys on the Simpson case are the 2 different Robert's. One is Robert Kardashian who has since passed away but became very famous and wealthy from this case and his family continues to be in the spotlight now . The other one is Robert Shapiro who also became famous not only for his defense of OJ Simpson during the trial but for his admission against some of the dream team after the trial ended . He went on to write the book called Search for Justice where he referred to F. Lee Bailey a loose cannon and said that Johnnie Cochran played the race card during the trial. This became very contraversial, obviously. All of the defense attorneys gained fame following this trial whether they wanted it or not due to the amount of publicity and reaction from the people watching . The final result of the Dream Team's job ended up working and despite what was seen as overwhelming evidence against Simpson, he was found not guilty in the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. A couple of jurors later admitted that they believed that Simpson was guilty but that the prosecution bungled the case too much. After the trial, people were shocked he was found not guilty and were upset while other people agreed the result. A bit of a racial divide concerning this happened too .
