Summary

This week, we put on our suits and head back to the courtroom. O.J. Simpson pleads not guilty, Marcia Clark finishes questioning Kato Kaelin and Bob Shapiro continues to furrow his brow. Digressions include "Speed," the Kuleshov effect and the intentional boringness of American law. In the final ten minutes, we talk briefly about the crime scene and Marcia’s reaction to it.

If you'd like to see the arraignment footage for yourself it's here.

I want us to spend time with all of the people in this story in a way that allows us to cultivate a sense of connection with them and to see the parts of their lives that are recognizable to us and also just to recognize when they're being dicks.

0:15.8

Welcome to your wrong about the podcast that investigates history without impaneling a grand jury.

0:35.8

Not yet. I forgot what a grand jury is. So I was just saying that.

0:40.4

It's like a regular jury, but they're all wearing ball gowns. I'm Michael Hobbs. I'm a reporter for the Huffington Post. I'm Sarah Marshall. I'm working on a book about the Satanic panic.

And if you'd like to support the show, we're on Patreon at patreon.com slash your rung about and PayPal and we sell cute mugs and t-shirts and stuff.

1:00.7

And if you don't want to do that, that's also chill. Just settle in or bounce after five minutes, but we're glad you're here right now.

1:08.0

And today we're talking about, I think, Marsha Clark. Yeah. You're right. I think this episode is also going to be maybe kind of a

1:17.1

kekshop episode. And possibly a better title is the arrangement, because we're going to do OJ's

1:24.8

arrangement on June 20th and the day is leading up to it. Basically the weekend after the Bronco chase,

1:29.9

from a few different perspectives. And we're going to bring our chorus in.

1:33.4

Arraignment is one of those words like grand jury that I see all the time, but it's not clear to me that I know what it is.

1:38.5

It's the part and line order where we see the defendant with their lawyer and the prosecutor come in and

1:49.2

Jill Hennessy is wearing a scrunchy and it's where you stand in front of a judge as a defendant. The charges against you

1:57.6

will be rutt aloud and you plead guilty or not guilty. So it's like a court hearing. Yeah. You're standing in front of a

judge in a court room. Take me with you. Arraignment. We're doing a little Arraignment. You're an Arraignment.

Yeah. So where are we starting? So we haven't really zoomed out in a while. We've been close by with Paula for a

couple of episodes now. And so I want to return to one of my favorite voices in the chorus of the series, which is

2:32.7

Raven Claw and Dillion. So in Dominic Dunn's coverage of OJ Simpson, we have a crossover event with one of our previous topics.

2:41.1

This is from a vanity fair call and called LA in the age of OJ. He writes, in the midst of all this, the Prince of Wales came to town.

2:50.2

What a flat tire that trip was. The beleaguered Prince was simply not a hot ticket. There was a great deal of behind the scenes
