The Private Diary of an O.J. Juror - Abridged

Summary

A fascinating look at the O.J. Simpson murder trial from one of the original jurors.

On June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were violently murdered, leading to the arrest and trial of former NFL player, O.J. Simpson. The “ Trial of the Century” soon turned into a spectacle on both sides of the aisle— and in the jury box itself! In this personal account by a juror who was dismissed before the trial ended, Michael Knox provides a unique look— as both insider and outsider— of this volatile case that divided a country. Knox offers a number of revelations: the oppressive and demeaning life of sequestration; the racial divisions on the panel, although they were grossly exaggerated; and his own reasons why he leaned towards a guilty verdict prior to his dismissal as a juror.
