O.J. Simpson is a name that most people match with one of the most publicized trials in our time.

It’s now 21 years after the initial case began, and many people are still very aware of the controversial figure.

With the critically acclaimed series “American Crime Story” reintroducing people to a retelling of the events, it’s as if Simpson and his trial is a topic that will always be regarded as an unresolved mystery.

FCC student Jonathan Contreras shared his thoughts on the case after years of discussion.

“It’s still relevant and it goes to show that power and money can fight the system,” Contreras said.

“Sloppy work [can] destroy an easy court case,” Contreras added.

Contreras’s recollection of the case stems from the book written by Simpson, titled “If I Did It”.

Contreras said, “I’m always hearing about people discussing the book, even several years after it was already published.”

In June of 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson, the ex wife of the former football player was murdered along with her close friend Ron Goldman.

Simpson is currently serving time in prison for committing armed robbery in Las Vegas, but will be released on parole in 2017.

Most recently, a former Los Angeles police officer from the original case was discovered to have obtained a knife from Simpson’s property before it was demolished and is under investigation despite the major time gap and tampering with evidence.

The case immediately became a mystery of public interest, and from the very beginning, people drew conclusions that Simpson was behind the grisly crime.

The case remained under intense public and media scrutiny.

In a shocking turn of events, Simpson ended up being acquitted.

Alina Martinez, FCC student, admitted she did not know much about it but sees how it affected her view of the court system.

“Even though I was too young, I think his name is something that has always been known,” Martinez said. “It was one of those court cases that makes everyone question the processes of trials and not for a good reason.”
