25 Years Ago Today: O.J. Simpson Leads Police On Slow-Speed Chase On Southern California Freeways

On June 13, 1994, the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found dead in the entryway of Brown Simpson’s Los Angeles condominium.

Nicole Brown Simpson was the ex-wife of former NFL star O.J. Simpson and Goldman was a friend of Brown Simpson who came that Sunday evening to return property.

O.J. Simpson became the prime suspect in the case and was arrested on June 18, 1994, in his driveway after leading police on a slow-speed chase across 60 miles of California freeways in a white Ford Bronco.

Simpson pleaded innocent to the murder charges and on Oct 3, 1995, a jury cleared Simpson of the murders after an eleven-month trial that captivated the nation.

A civil jury later held Simpson liable for the killings and ordered him to pay the victims’ survivors $33.5 million.
