Kimberle Crenshaw to Appear on Frontline

THE O.J. VERDICT
FRONTLINE

PBS will air a documentary on Tuesday, October 4, 2005, about the O.J. Simpson case featuring the commentary of Prof. Kimberle Crenshaw.

On October 3, 1995, an estimated 150 million people stopped what they were doing to witness the televised verdict of the O.J. Simpson trial. For more than a year, the O.J. saga transfixed the nation and dominated the public imagination.

Ten years later, veteran FRONTLINE producer Ofra Bikel (The Plea, Innocence Lost), revisits the "perfect storm" that was the O. J. Simpson trial. Through extensive interviews with the defense, prosecution, and journalists, FRONTLINE explores the dominant role that race played in the most controversial verdict in the history of the American justice system.
