The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story<\/span><\/p>\n

What was most responsible?<\/span><\/p>\n

OJ Simpson was found not guilty by a jury of his peers for the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. There are a lot of people who disagreed with the verdict reached, but the jury made the decision it did. There are 3 parts to this culminating assignment.<\/span><\/p>\n

A. Outline<\/span><\/p>\n

You will be responsible for putting together an outline as if you are writing at least a five- paragraph essay, with a strong thesis analyzing, what was most responsible for the acquittal of OJ Simpson? You need to choose any three very specific aspects of the case. Why were those the most compelling reasons that he was found not guilty? Consider the actions of the defense, the prosecution, the judge, the jury and the media in your reasoning.<\/span><\/p>\n

specific 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

evidence)<\/span><\/p>\n

3rd body paragraph- analyze another aspect of his case (with pieces of evidence)<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Conclusion- Your conclusion should address the idea of innocence, guilt, trials, by jury, inequities in the justice system, etc, on a scale grander than just the OJ trial and discuss if you think he is guilty or not and why, using formal writing ( meaning no 1st\/ 2nd person- no I, you, us, we, our)<\/span><\/p>\n
