48 HOURS - THE O.J. SIMPSON VERDICT (CBS 10/3/95) VERY RARE!!!

At 10:07 am on Tuesday, October 3, 1995, O.J. Simpson a former National Football League (NFL) player, broadcaster and actor, was acquitted for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman that took place on the evening of June 12, 1994.

An estimated 100 million people worldwide watched or listened to the verdict's announcement. Long-distance telephone call volume declined by 58 percent, and trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange decreased by 41 percent. Water usage decreased as people avoided using bathrooms. So much work stopped that the verdict cost an estimated $480 million in lost productivity.

This rare one-hour 48 Hours is the actual CBS special broadcast recounting the day’s events hosted by CBS News anchor Dan Rather.

The special includes an interview with Simpson attorney Peter Neufeld who had strong criticism for trial judge Lance Ito and a separate interview with close Simpson friend Robert Kardashian following the verdict.

Includes original network commercials.
