O.J. Simpson mini-series has strong ratings in debut
The latter incident first came to light past year, when American Tragedy: The Uncensored Story of the O.J. Simpson Defense author, Lawrence Schiller, claimed, in an interview with ABC News’ 20/20, that O.J. Don’t remember me as one of the negatives that might end up here. “He was my best friend and I am heartbroken that my brother was never able to realize his dreams and come into his own”. “They put me in it too much”.
Robert Kardashian told Schiller that Simpson said, “I’m going to kill myself in this room”, to which Kardashian responded, “You can’t”.
“The first thing I said to her was sorry about that hair”, recalled Clark – who famously sported a curly perm during the televised proceedings – with a laugh.

In the series premiere, investigators visit the home of O.J. Simpson following the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Prosecutor Marcia Clark is introduced to the audience as having no clue who Simpson is, a stark contrast to numerous detectives who comment on his celebrity status. The forthcoming episode is scheduled to premiere on Tuesday, February 9, 2016 at 10:00 p.m. exclusively on FX. Simpson was the lead suspect in the case and was brought up on charges of double homicide. When Simpson hears the news, he begins writing goodbye letters and a will, and threatening suicide. It was also Robert Kardashian who read a letter from Simpson to the media when he failed to turn himself into authorities on the day of the infamous white Bronco auto chase.
And by prefacing his 10-part retelling of the O.J. Simpson murder case with such an indelible moment in American racial politics, Murphy immediately articulates American Crime Story’s ambitious angle: to not only depict one of the most sensational trials in US history, but also to address its unparalleled standing as an American landmark.
