Although not as dramatic as King Tut's tomb, the Simpson murder trial seemed to be unlucky for several people.

For the prosecution, Mark Furman had to bury his law enforcement career after it died due to perjury in a California Superior Court proceeding. But it's hard to keep a good man down. Furman was able to redeem himself with his investigation and true crime bestseller Murder In Belhaven, a very cold murder case in Greenwich, CT from the 1970's. It resulted in renewed interest and finally some justice for the 15 year old victim Martha Moxley.
