This documentary is complementary to "The Unseen Deposition Of O.J. Simpson"; somewhat longer it is seen largely through the eyes of Daniel Petrocelli while the first is seen through those of Ron Goldman, although Petrocelli appears in the shorter film while Goldman also takes up a good chunk of this one.
Petrocelli is a corporate lawyer, and when he was approached to take the civil case against Simpson, he had serious misgivings. The man who told him he "must" take it was clothing manufacturer Paul Marciano, a client of his. As soon as he met Ron Goldman, he knew it was the right thing to do.
We see herein parts of Simpson's lengthy deposition, hear an exposition of the deposition and trial strategy, and hear also from various people including A.C. Cowlings, the man behind the wheel during that ridiculous slow speed car "chase" in which Simpson held a gun to his own head, but sadly did not pull the trigger.
Perhaps the most surprising thing revealed here en passant is that there were demonstrators both for and against outside the courthouse, and some of those rooting for Simpson were white. What was that about America being polarised on racial grounds? At any rate, only cranks and totally ignorant people still believe Simpson to be innocent, as he languishes behind bars after pushing his luck too far.
