Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were found dead outside Brown Simpson’s home in Los Angeles in 1994.

Months later, Simpson was arrested for the murders after an infamous police chase.

In 1995 the case went to trial. Simpson, represented by a group of high-profile lawyers including Johnnie Cochran, was eventually acquitted of the murders by a jury.

However, in 1996, Simpson was found responsible for the murders in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33.5 million to the Brown and Goldman families.
