About this listen

The architect of O.J. Simpson's Dream Team tells the inside story of the Simpson murder trial from the beginning. In this book, the man who created the defense strategy answers the questions of fact, law, and ethics that were fired at him before and after the jury's verdict. With candor, wit, and compassion, Shapiro brings to light the details of The Trial of the Century, giving us revealing glimpses of O.J. Simpson, Johnnie Cochran, Marcia Clark, Chris Darden, Judge Lance Ito, Barry Scheck, F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz, and many others.

At the heart of the book is the dramatic story of how Shapiro helped to win what many considered to be an open-and-shut case against O.J. Simpson. In the midst of mounting the legal defense, Shapiro had to deal with the tumult of a media circus, a fractious defense team, and his own priorities as a husband and father. Through it all, he maintained a steady hand and the quiet belief that justice would prevail.

According to Shapiro, the only possible verdict was the conclusion of reasonable doubt reached by the jury.

Having read novels from the Prosecution, it was interesting to see crucial moments told from the other side of the Trial of the Century. While not on the same level as “Without A Doubt” by Marcia Clarke, Shapiro feels surprisingly genuine and I couldn’t stop listening. My only complaint was the shortness of the novel, leaving me wanting more. Much like his approach to speaking in court, Shapiro is concise and to the point but this break-neck speed left me spiralling off at the novels end. I enjoyed his perspective so much I was left wishing he had explored more.
