and then lastly…

1994

The Bronco Chase 

O.J. Simpson, charged with the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, and became a fugitive of the law.

Simpson and his friend Al Cowling led the highway patrol on a 60-mile, low-speed pursuit through L.A in Cowling’s Ford Bronco.

When the Bronco finally pulled into the driveway at Simpson’s Brentwood mansion, negotiations with police lasted less than an hour and Simpson surrendered, was arrested and taken to jail.

And then…he was acquitted.
