O.J. Simpson The nation was captivated by O.J. Simpson's murder trial in the early '90s. It started with the grisly murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. When O.J. was charged with the double murder, the media circus began with a televised low-speed car chase in a now infamous white Bronco and never let up. (AP)![oj_n_cochran]()

Johnnie Cochran The defense attorney made a name for himself in 1993 when he defended Michael Jackson against child molestation charges. But it was in the closing statements of O.J.'s trial that he uttered his most famous line. While trying on the much-talked about black glove that O.J. supposedly wore on the night of the murders, Johnnie exclaimed: "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." (AP)![marcia_clark_AP]()
