Iconic photos show the biggest moments from O.J. Simpson's 'trial of the century'

  • The O.J. Simpson trial lives on infamy more than 30 years later.
  • Maybe you remember where you were when the Bronco chase ensued, or the verdict was read.

Nicknamed "the trial of the century," O.J. Simpson's 1995 murder trial captured public attention.

A former NFL player, Simpson was already a celebrity. The case touched on polarizing racial politics just a few years after Rodney King was brutally beaten by members of the Los Angeles Police Department.

The courtroom proceedings were also broadcast on live TV, a relatively new phenomenon that helped spawn unscripted reality shows and bolster cable news. Rupert Murdoch reportedly launched Fox News after seeing how lucrative the trial coverage was for CNN — around $200 million, CNN reported.

The trial still remains a cultural touchstone, with the Emmy-winning 2016 FX series "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" starring Cuba Gooding Jr., Sarah Paulson, John Travolta, David Schwimmer, and Sterling K. Brown.

O.J. Simpson died on April 10 at age 76.

Here's a look back at some of the most iconic photos from the trial.
