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

At 10:07 a.m. on Tuesday, October 3, 1995, former National Football League star, broadcaster, and actor O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, whose deaths on June 12, 1994, became one of the most widely publicized criminal cases in American history.

An estimated 100 million people around the world watched or listened as the verdict was announced. The moment had an extraordinary impact on everyday life: long-distance telephone traffic dropped by 58 percent, trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange declined by 41 percent, water usage fell as people delayed routine activities, and businesses across the country temporarily came to a standstill. The interruption to the American workday was estimated to have cost nearly $480 million in lost productivity.

This rare one-hour edition of CBS News' 48 Hours, hosted by CBS News anchor Dan Rather, presents the original network broadcast that documented the dramatic events of verdict day and examined the public reaction as history unfolded.

The special also features an interview with Simpson defense attorney Peter Neufeld, who offers candid criticism of Judge Lance Ito's handling of the trial, as well as a separate interview with Simpson's close friend Robert Kardashian, reflecting on the verdict and its aftermath.

Bonus Feature: Includes the complete original network television commercials as originally broadcast.
