Acquittal despite doubts
Both were killed with multiple stab wounds in 1994, and suspicion quickly fell on Simpson. An arrest warrant was issued against him and the American fled. He went on a wild chase with the police, which was broadcast live on television. He held a gun to his head several times before the police were finally able to stop him. An eight-month process followed, which developed into a gigantic media spectacle with international interest. Despite considerable doubts, he was acquitted by the jury.
