Story

OJ Simpson's infamous police chase in 1994 captivated the nation, leading to record pizza sales, a prank call to ABC, and the introduction of the Kardashians. Despite being acquitted in his murder trial, Simpson was later found responsible for the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman in a civil trial. The chase raised suspicions about Simpson's involvement in the murders, but he maintained his innocence. Eventually, he turned himself in after a dramatic standoff at his home. The day of the chase also saw significant historical events, such as the arrival of the Statue of Liberty in 1885 and the beginning of the Watergate scandal in 1972.
