American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson; FX Previews Travolta as Shapiro

by Cindy McLennan, October 23, 2015

American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson TV show on FX: season 1

FX has released four teasers of the upcoming American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson. This first season of the American Crime Story true crime anthology, is set to premiere in February, 2016. Told from the perspective of Simpson’s legal team, American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson, is based on The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson, by author, former lawyer, and media legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin.

American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson stars Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson; John Travolta as defense attorney Robert Shapiro; David Schwimmer as defense attorney Robert Kardashian; Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark; Courtney B. Vance as defense attorney Johnnie Cochran; and Bruce Greenwood as Los Angeles County District Attorney Gil Garcetti. Continue on, for the network’s show description and four trailers.

From FX:

ABOUT THE SHOW

American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, the first installment of the new limited series from prolific producer Ryan Murphy, will debut on FX in early 2016 with an all-star cast portraying the key figures in the infamous O.J. Simpson murder trial. The cast includes Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson, John Travolta as defense attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as defense attorney Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark, Courtney B. Vance as defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, and Bruce Greenwood as Los Angeles County District Attorney Gil Garcetti.

Based on the book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, the limited series is a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers. It explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution overconfidence, defense shrewdness, and the LAPD’s history with the city’s African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt.

Production of the FX limited series is currently underway in Los Angeles. Emmy® and Golden Globe® award winning producer and Emmy Award winning Director Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, The Normal Heart) directed the first episode and serves as Executive Producer, along with Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski and Brad Falchuk.

American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson is written by Golden Globe-winning producers Alexander and Karaszewski (Big Eyes, The People v. Larry Flynt). American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions.

Watch the trailers.

I will be watching. I was in high school during done of the trial and would watch with my mom. We are white and both agreed with the verdict. It was clear to me the police attempted to frame him. When you. Have missing blood, edta which was never explained and the little amount of blood in the bronco. Also how did the bloody glove get down that whole path without a drop falling. One more thing why did detective vannatter have samples of all three people involved in case ???was there not enough blood @ the crime scene. Vegas… Read more »

tom,

Thank you for pointing out some issues about Vannatter, which I had forgotten. Anyone with a fair mind would see the reasonable doubt. Your comments are insightful. Our justice system is a mess, and those representing the people need to come with “clean hands”! It is frightening!

Unfortunately, I do not know enough about the LV situation, but your assessment appears to be on target.

Tom,
It makes sense what you said about the tape recorder.

If I can recall, Vannatter was accused of carrying the valves of crime scene blood in his pocket. I thought they said he took them home and did not turn them into the lab until the next day. I do not recall him denying it but looking grim when questioned.

My college friend said there is no way those bloody socks could have been in Simpson’s bedroom, as the blood would have soaked all the way to the padding and unto the floor and ultimately, leaving a stain.

Sammy,
Admittedly, I do not know the law, but what I have learned from those that do kidnapping charges can imprison a person up to 20 years.

As you stated in your other post, the Goldmans’ could have been behind the stolen property – or anyone else.

I am just going by what was reported on the news.
I certainly do not know anything more than you.

Keeba, Your feedback is insightful and appreciated. Regarding the kidnapping charges in Nevada, I do not have the background to have an informed opinion. What I learned was from brief news accounts, and I have learned they are not always reliable. This is what I heard, and it was also upsetting, but how factual – I do not know. Someone broke into a space and stole O.J.’s memorabilia. When he learned of this, who would he go to? Not the police, as they were not apt to assist him. The Goldman’s have gone after O.J. with a vengeance. (“vengeance is… Read more »

Sammy, I stand corrected. I ASSUMED that Simpson was guilty of the crime of kidnapping. As you said, I am assuming that what was reported on the news was true. I will say that I believe Simpson would be a free man today had he used a little commonsense. The reason I say that as I tried to consider what any reasonable person would have done in the same situation. Yes, the memorabilia was Simpson’s property but if the men that told him the whereabouts of the property then Simpson could have asked them to pick it up for him.… Read more »

Dear Keeba, Thanks for your thoughtful and honest response. Due to our conversation, I am prompted to see what I can learn about the second trial. Finding an objective analysis may be difficult. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I think I heard the memorabilia was stolen for the benefit of the Goldmans, and was about to be sold. This is what prompted the O.J. intervention. The parties involved were probably all thugs. As who else would undertake the selling of stolen goods? I do not think it was a matter of just going to “pick up” the memorabilia,… Read more »

Sammy, I apologize for not answering sooner. It has been awhile, but I thought there was a tape with Simpson saying, “Do not allow anyone to leave.” I heard the news report say that only Simpson was charged with kidnapping. I agree that Simpson should be allowed to go wherever he wanted but that is not how others saw it. They viewed him as a man that got away with murder and they wanted our government to stop and imprison him. They did not want him breathing their air and freely walking about in their America. Sammy, I agree with… Read more »

Why would the Goldmans want OJ trophies? Get a grip. OJ was in with some thugs in LV just like himself. They not only kidnapped the guy they were going to kill him. OJ got away with murder and he thought he was untouchable. What goes around comes around. His just came around sooner than he expected.

Louise,

I do have a grip!

There was a civil trial which followed the criminal trial and the Goldman’s won a substantial judgment, for which they were unable to collect. So who else would be so inclined hire someone to steal and sell his memorabilia? They wanted the MONEY!!!

I never heard O.J.’s group was intending to kill anyone, but I am not an authority on the LV situation. The Goldman’s wanted money and revenge – and it appears they got it…

This world is full of too much hate – two wrongs do not make a right!!!

I briefly researched the LV situation. The events outlined above appear to be false. When Simpson learned his memorabilia had been stolen, an attorney suggested he go and retrieve his personal property. He retrieved his personal property, which had been stolen. In general, this most likely comports with Nevada law. The kidnapping. No one was taken anywhere. He recovered his belongings. It would take a course in law to explain the charges, but the term “kidnapping”, the way the AVERAGE person would interpret it – does not conform with the facts of what transpired in the Las Vegas hotel. No… Read more »

Cynthia, thanks for the heads up! Since a series was being based Toobin’s book, I thought this may be an objective view of the trial. I found Toobin’s commentaries questionable before, and after the search you suggested – I doubt if what he has written is a reliable accountIng. I remember reading some books written after the trial. While the memory was fresh in my mind, I found myself writing down page numbers from books and noting where they were factually false. The sad thing is those who did not watch the trial, would accept the information in these books… Read more »

I watched every minuet of the trial. Judge Ito was a joke. This was his 15 min of fame. The only thing I agree on was Mark Fuhrman should never have lied about using racial slurs. This shows lack of experience on the states part.. Take the hit initially. It would have caused an uproar but lets face it is there anyone who has not done this at least once in their life/(if there is I personally will recommend them for sainthood) By Fuhrman not being truthful on that issue he lost all credibility and no one would have believed… Read more »

Louise, You are obviously one of the people who believes “damn with the law!”. I have two judges in my circle of friends, and Judge Ito was in an unenviable position. No judge wants to be overturned on appeal, and the eyes of the world were following this trial. So he followed the law. Mark Fuhrman was known to be a racist – from several sources. He made it known he hated seeing a white woman with a black man, etc. And he did not say the “n” word once, there was a tape where he used it to excess… Read more »

After 21 years, it is certainly not too soon. Since this is one of those stories that just will not go away, then yes, I will watch. In fact, I am looking forward to it. After Simpson was found not guilty, he should not have stayed and rubbed it in the face of America that he was a free man. Had he left the Country, he would be a free man today. But no! He assumed he was privileged! Ha! Now the idiot is imprisoned for kidnapping along with various other charges. It is an all-star cast with Cuba Gooding… Read more »

Unfortunately, I do not receive FX. The People vs. O.J. Simpson appears to be an interesting series, if it is an honest portrayal of events. After watching the entire case presented by the prosecution, any other verdict would have been suspect. No matter what Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden say, they did not prove their case, but they employed every underhanded tactic to prevail. After all, they were standing on behalf of the government, and were not seeking the truth – only a conviction. I watched as if it were one of my loved ones or myself on trial, and… Read more »

This is a really thoughtful comment, Sammy. I think it likely OJ committed the crimes. I don’t remember my opinion of the prosecution (underhanded or just), itself, but I remember thinking the investigation was far too careless. Like you, I understood why the jurors found reasonable doubt. Toobin is an interesting guy. Give him a little Google, before you buy the book. I’m not saying don’t buy it. I don’t know that much about him, but what I came across when writing this article made me think I’d have to look into him more, before buying the book for myself.… Read more »

Sammy, It was interesting to read your comment and I was glad you wrote with such honesty. I am Black so when I said I thought the jurors came to the right conclusion, some assumed I took that stance based on race. They were wrong. While I often wondered if Simpson himself murdered his ex-wife and her friend or [he] paid someone to do it, I just did not believe that the State proved he was guilty during the trial. Had Simpson been a White suspect, I would have come to the same conclusion. It is not as if all… Read more »

Keeba,

I am new to this and apologize for not being more mindful when replying to your comments, and breaking the thread/continuity of the messages.

I was hoping you would clear up any misinformation I posted regarding the Nevada charges against O.J. Did they really throw the book at him because of his acquittal in the first trial, or is his conviciton and sentencing fair for his Nevada offenses?

Again, many thanks for your insight!
