Domestic violence that nobody took seriously, a racist police force with no accountability, a car chase watched by the entire world and… Kim Kardashian’s childhood bedroom. After the brutal murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, the trial of O.J. Simpson turned into a media circus - and was the perfect storm of events and timing that O.J. needed to be found not guilty. This is Just The Gist of the O.J. Simpson trial: ‘if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit’, Marcia Clark, the bloody glove, a jury locked up for eight months and an 85-year-old Fred Goldman refusing to stop hounding O.J. - even after his death.

We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's Breakin' Nooz, JTG After Show AND Bonus eps! You can access them by joining the Gistener Club via the Just The Gist Patreon or Apple Premium Subscriptions.
