Many legal experts believed the case against Simpson was strong. So did many more whites than blacks in public opinion surveys.
DEFENSE ATTORNEY JOHNNY COCHRANE: “The day Mister Darden asked Mister Simpson to try on those gloves, and the gloves didn’t fit – Remember these words: If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.”
Simpson’s lead defense attorney, Johnnie Cochrane.
DIERDRE ROBINSON (JUDGE’S CLERK): “We, the jury, in the above-entitled action, find the defendant Orenthal James Simpson not guilty of the crime of murder.”
A mostly black jury found Simpson not guilty. But later, in a civil case brought by the victims' families, a mostly white jury found him responsible for the killings and ordered him to pay damages.

In nineteen ninety, researchers launched the Human Genome Project. This was a government-supported effort to identify and map all of the genes in the body. The Human Genome Project raised hopes for new medical treatments and cures for diseases.
The project lasted thirteen years, until two thousand three. In two thousand, President Clinton announced the completion of a "working draft" of the genome.
BILL CLINTON: “It will revolutionize the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of most, if not all, human diseases. In coming years, doctors increasingly will be able to cure diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes, and cancer.”
