OJ Simpson's trial was culturally important because it raised the issue of black and white race relations. It was also one of the first court room trials to be completely televised. Most people felt OJ was guilty, so the verdict of not guilty resonated especially because of OJ's wealth and position, which were thought to influence the outcome, which left the murder victim's families without the justice they deserved.
