Summary
For more than a year, Christopher Darden argued tirelessly for the prosecution, giving voice to the victims in the 0.J. Simpson murder trial. This number-one New York Times best seller is an unflinching look at what the television cameras could not show: behind-the-scenes meetings; the deteriorating relationships between the defense and prosecution teams; the taunting, baiting, and pushing matches between Darden and Simpson; the intimate relationship between Darden and Marcia Clark; and the candid factors behind Darden's controversial decision for Simpson to try on the infamous glove, and much more.
Out of the sensational frenzy of "The Trial of the Century" comes this haunting memoir of duty, justice, and the powerful undertow of American racism.
A stunning masterpiece told with brutal honesty and courage.

Great narration from the author
Great narration from the author Christopher Darden spoken with soft voice
Little bit short for me, but still it was a good audible

Excellent and honest
I loved this book and it was also really interesting hearing Chris talk about his family, growing up and his brother’s illness. Chris is a really likeable and passionate guy. He understands most of the realities of this case. If you’re interested in Chris’ performance in the case you should read Vincent Bugliosi’s book. However I don’t hold it against him, I admire Chris a lot. It’s a shame he didn’t write other books in general like Marcia did.

Worth the Listen
In the end this was worth the listen. Intuitive and insightful at times, it also a reflection of the naive idealism which undermined the prosecution. The strength of the narrative only undermined by persistent underlying self-indulgence.

Thank you
I watched the trial and got caught up in the hype. I remember this evidence but I didn't see it this way. I more remember the defence case. Wow how easy it is to look past the truth!!! Same it was an abridged version though
