When Brown 's ex-husband, NFL superstar and actor O.J. Simpson, becomes a person of interest in the double homicide, deputy district attorney Marcia Clark takes the case, discovering that Simpson physically assaulted Brown multiple times in the past. As African - American defense attorney Johnnie Cochran challenges Christopher Darden for not standing up for his race as a prosecutor, the LAPD questions Simpson only for him to give vague responses and fail to establish a timeline for the day prior to the murders. Clark becomes further convinced Simpson is guilty while Robert Kardashian talks Simpson into hiring litigator Robert Shapiro as his new attorney. Days later, a suicidal Simpson brings a gun into Kardashian 's house as the LAPD arrives to arrest him for the murders. When both parties can not find Simpson, Kardashian learns he has escaped with friend Al Cowlings in his white Ford Bronco. `` The Run of His Life '' Ryan Murphy Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski February 9, 2016 ( 2016 - 02 - 09 ) 1WAX02 3.90 In the aftermath of Simpson 's disappearance, District Attorney Gil Garcetti issues a statewide manhunt while Shapiro and Kardashian discover Simpson 's suicide letter. Shapiro then holds a press conference to save face, with Kardashian reading the letter to the press. A driver on the I - 405 spots Simpson in his Ford Bronco and notifies the LAPD, leading to a low - speed chase that dominates the airwaves. Simpson orders Cowlings to drive him to Brentwood and prepares to kill himself when Kardashian calls him and asks that he peacefully surrender. Simpson complies and emerges from the car before being taken into custody for the murders. `` The Dream Team '' Anthony Hemingway D.V. DeVincentis February 16, 2016 ( 2016 - 02 - 16 ) 1WAX03 3.34 With Simpson now in custody, Shapiro begins assembling his defense team, while Clark confirms to the media that Simpson is to be prosecuted for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, which means he is eligible for the death penalty. Clark also reveals the evidence, the glove, and the blood trail to the media, leading most of the media ( and Clark herself ) to believe that the case will be an easy win. A controversial issue of TIME magazine featuring a darkened image of Simpson on the cover raises issues of racism among the media. Shapiro signs F. Lee Bailey first onto the team, who recommends bringing aboard Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz mentions they could argue that the DNA found at the crime scene could have been tampered with, and this is later made the main defense after it is revealed that Mark Fuhrman, the LAPD detective who found the glove that is key to the prosecution 's case, has made racist comments frequently during his career. Deciding to go with the argument that the LAPD is systemically racist and has framed Simpson for racist reasons, Shapiro talks to a reporter from The New Yorker who publishes it as a front - page story. Simpson, after meeting with Shapiro, Bailey, and Kardashian, reluctantly agrees to bring aboard Cochran as the final member of his defense team. Meanwhile, the prosecution is forced to move onto the attack for the trial after most of key evidence is leaked to the media, and they panic over Shapiro 's plan for the defense. `` 100 % Not Guilty '' Anthony Hemingway Maya Forbes & Wallace Wolodarsky and Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski February 23, 2016 ( 2016 - 02 - 23 ) 1WAX04 3.00 Simpson 's `` dream team '' bears down on the trial, with Shapiro adopting a strategy of barricading and objecting to every motion the prosecution attempts. However, the defense suffers from dissent in the ranks, as Shapiro begins making desperate efforts to remain the lead defense attorney, despite Cochran 's being clearly more qualified for the position as the defense increasingly begins to lean more on racial tension. Eventually Bailey, Cochran, and Kardashian stage a minor coup while Shapiro is on vacation, and convince Simpson to endorse Cochran as the lead attorney. Lance Ito is called to preside over the trial, and the process of jury selection begins, with both sides seeking a racial composition favorable to their own agenda. While both Clark and Cochran are correct that whites are biased against Simpson and black men are biased in his favor, they each have their own respective theories about why black women would be unsympathetic to him : Cochran believes they would resent Simpson for marrying a white woman, while Clark believes they would be sympathetic to Nicole as a battered woman. However, this theorizing proves inaccurate when all potential black female jurors align with Simpson as much as their male counterparts. Clark is also forced to confront the fact that she herself is singularly uncharismatic to jurors of all demographics. Adding to the media circus surrounding the case is a book published by Faye Resnick, detailing Brown Simpson 's lifestyle and relationship to Simpson, and detracting more potential evidence from the trial itself. With Clark and her team realizing the case is not the easy win they initially thought it was, she and Garcetti decide that the only possible buffer against the charismatic and beloved Cochran is to add a black lawyer to the prosecution. She calls on Christopher Darden, and he joins the prosecution team, surprising the defense. 5 5 `` The Race Card '' John Singleton Joe Robert Cole March 1, 2016 ( 2016 - 03 - 01 ) 1WAX05 2.73 The Simpson murder trial begins when in his first contribution to the prosecution, Darden attempts to sway the jury from any racist implications of the case. His wording backfires severely when Cochran delivers a fiery and moving rebuttal, humiliating all of the prosecutors. Clark also assigns Darden to interview Mark Fuhrman and coach him on how to speak during the trial as a credible witness. Darden gets a bad feeling about Fuhrman, strongly suspecting him to be the latent racist suggested by his murky history, but Clark disregards his suspicions, leaving him increasingly conflicted about his role in the case. Meanwhile, Cochran redecorates Simpson 's home, re-imagining him as being more proud and in touch with his African American identity, for a tour by the jury. After the defense springs a surprise and illegal move by introducing new witnesses, William Hodgman suffers a panic attack and faints in court. Clark nominates Darden to replace him as co-leading prosecutor. A new obstacle emerges to the prosecution, unbeknownst to Clark, when Darden 's suspicions are confirmed and Fuhrman is shown to have a collection of Nazi memorabilia. 6 6 `` Marcia, Marcia, Marcia '' Ryan Murphy D.V. DeVincentis March 8, 2016 ( 2016 - 03 - 08 ) 1WAX06 3.00 Clark is going through a bitter divorce. The media criticizes her attitude and appearance and she becomes overwhelmed with her sudden celebrity status. Television networks preempt their daytime programming for coverage of the trial. Darden and Clark bond at the office after - hours with drinks and dancing. A reporter from Los Angeles Times confronts Cochran about the alleged past domestic violence against his first wife. Clark decides to get a haircuit in response to the media 's criticisms of her, but it is not well received. Bailey gives his cross examination of Fuhrman, asking him if he has ever used the ' N ' word in the last ten years, which Fuhrman strongly denies. Darden consoles Clark, who bemoans finding herself being turned into a public personality like the defense lawyers. 7 7 `` Conspiracy Theories '' Anthony Hemingway D.V. DeVincentis March 15, 2016 ( 2016 - 03 - 15 ) 1WAX07 2.89 Shapiro tries to convince others to agree to a plea deal. Kardashian finds himself unable to believe Simpson 's story because of the lack of any other suspects. Clark travels to Oakland with Darden for a friend 's birthday showing the increasing closeness between them both. Simpson tries on the gloves ( found at the scene of the crime ). After he seemingly struggles to put on the gloves, it appears that they are too small. 8 8 `` A Jury in Jail '' Anthony Hemingway Joe Robert Cole March 22, 2016 ( 2016 - 03 - 22 ) 1WAX08 2.91 The members on the jury start to go stir - crazy and deal with cabin fever during sequestration. A few of them are excused for lying on the questionnaire or having connections with Simpson in strange ways. The defense and counsel begin to focus on getting alternates who they are sure would vote favorably at the end of the trial. After the glove debacle, everyone assumes that Simpson is not guilty but when Clark fiercely presents the DNA evidence in court, doubts start again. Even the ever - faithful Kardashian begins to doubt Simpson 's story while Cochran and Shapiro seem unconcerned with this. 9 9 `` Manna from Heaven '' Anthony Hemingway Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski March 29, 2016 ( 2016 - 03 - 29 ) 1WAX09 2.76 Simpson 's attorneys uncover tapes of Fuhrman recounting horrifying stories of torturing, murdering and framing black suspects for fun. It emerges that one of the people Fuhrman attacks in those tapes is the wife of Judge Lance Ito, and a mistrial is barely avoided. The tapes are released, Fuhrman takes the stand and further incriminates himself by refusing to answer any more questions, much to the dismay of Clark. 10 10 `` The Verdict '' Ryan Murphy Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski April 5, 2016 ( 2016 - 04 - 05 ) 1WAX10 3.27 On the last day of proceedings, Simpson declines to take the stand and instead makes a brief statement, maintaining his innocence and expressing his yearning for the trial to end and to return to his family. Following four hours of deliberation, the jury delivers a not guilty verdict, prompting rejoice and shock across the country. Simpson returns to civilian life only to enter a society that perceives him as a different person as he was before the trial : some, primarily his family, welcome him home with open arms while his friends and neighbors view him as a killer who got away with his crime. During a welcome home party, in which he states his intent to find the real killer, Simpson sees Kardashian leave in disgust and learns that his favorite restaurant has banned him before going to gaze at a life - size statue of himself in his backyard. Production Development On October 7, 2014, it was announced that FX had ordered a 10 - episode season of American Crime Story, developed by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, and executive produced by Alexander and Karaszewski, as well as Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, who co-created such series as Nip / Tuck, Glee, American Horror Story, and Scream Queens. Murphy also directed the pilot episode. Other executive producers are Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson. Co-executive producers are Anthony Hemingway and D.V. DeVincentis. All 10 episodes were expected to be written by Alexander and Karaszewski. The series was previously in development at Fox but since moved to the company 's sibling cable network FX. Casting Cuba Gooding Jr. and Sarah Paulson were the first to be cast as Simpson and Marcia Clark, respectively. Subsequently, David Schwimmer was cast as Robert Kardashian. In January 2015, it was reported that John Travolta had joined the cast as Robert Shapiro ; he would also serve as producer. In February 2015, Courtney B. Vance joined the series as Johnnie Cochran. In March 2015, it was announced that Connie Britton would co-star as Faye Resnick. April 2015 saw the casting of Sterling K. Brown as Christopher Darden, Jordana Brewster as Denise Brown, and Kenneth Choi as Judge Lance Ito. In May 2015, it was confirmed Selma Blair would be portraying Kris Kardashian Jenner. In July 2015, it was announced Nathan Lane had joined the cast as F. Lee Bailey. Filming Principal photography began on May 14, 2015, in Los Angeles, California. Promotion In October 2015, FX released its first promotional trailer for The People v. O.J. Simpson, showing an Akita dog whining, walking from its residence onto a sidewalk to bark, then walking back to its residence, leaving behind bloody paw prints. Later that month another teaser was released, wherein the first actual footage of Travolta as Shapiro was shown. In the teaser, Shapiro is about to ask Simpson ( whose face is unseen ) if he is responsible for the murder of Simpson 's ex-wife. In the next short teaser that was released, Simpson ( again unseen ) is taking a lie detector test. In November, two new teasers were released. The first shows Simpson writing his attempted suicide letter, while a voice - over by Gooding, Jr. narrates. The second shows the police chasing Simpson 's white Ford Bronco, while dozens of fans cheer for him. The first full trailer was released in December, along with a poster for the season. The trailer included Simpson sitting in the childhood bedroom of Kim Kardashian and contemplating suicide while Robert Kardashian tries to stop him. Reception Reviews The first season of American Crime Story received acclaim from critics. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the season an approval rating of 96 %, based on 79 reviews, with an average rating of 8.73 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` The People v. O.J. Simpson : American Crime Story brings top - shelf writing, directing, and acting to bear on a still - topical story while shedding further light on the facts -- and provoking passionate responses along the way. '' On Metacritic, the season has a score of 90 out of 100, based on 45 critics, indicating `` universal acclaim. '' Many critics singled out many cast members for the performances, particularly Paulson and Vance. Dan Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter praised the performances of Paulson and Vance, writing : `` As Clark 's discomfort grows, Paulson 's collection of tics seem more and more human, (... ) Vance 's Cochran is sometimes hilarious, but he has a dynamic range such that he 's occasionally introspective and always intelligent as well. '' Brian Lowry of Variety praised the casting of the smaller roles, particularly Connie Britton as Faye Resnick and Nathan Lane as F. Lee Bailey. Despite the praise for the rest of the cast, Travolta and Gooding 's respective portrayals of Shapiro and Simpson have been met with mixed reviews by critics. Brian Lowry of Variety called Travolta `` awful '' in the role, adding : `` Yes, Shapiro spoke in stiff, measured tones, but the actor 's overly mannered line readings turn the attorney into a buffoon, in sharp contrast to the more nuanced portrayals around him. '' Nicole Jones of Vanity Fair called his performance `` campy and calculated. '' Dan Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter also criticized his performance, calling it `` a mesmerizingly bad performance from the eyebrows down. '' He also wrote that `` His unnecessary accent varies by episode, and Travolta 's laser intensity feels arch and almost kabuki at times, turning Shapiro into a terrifying character from the next American Horror Story installment, rather than a part of this ensemble. '' Maureen Ryan of Vanity Fair, conversely, became more impressed with Travolta as the season progressed : `` I started in the realm of puzzled disbelief, arrived at amusement, and ultimately traveled to a place of sincere appreciation. You simply ca n't take your eyes off Travolta, and that is a form of enchantment. '' Elisabeth Garber - Paul of Rolling Stone also called it `` arguably ( Travolta 's ) best performance since Tarantino brought him back from the dead. '' Robert Bianco of USA Today wrote that Travolta 's was the show 's `` broadest performance. '' Dave Schilling of The Guardian panned Gooding 's performance, writing : `` his whiny, gravely voice sounds absolutely nothing like the real O.J. Simpson 's deep, commanding tones. '' Michael Starr of New York Post also was highly critical of Gooding 's performance, saying that he `` portrays Simpson as a hollow, sad - sack cipher who speaks in a high - pitched whine and sleepwalks in a fog he never shakes after being arrested for the brutal double murder of ex-wife Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. He 's a forgettable, annoying presence in what should be a showcase role for Gooding -- who, to be fair, is reciting lines written for him, so he can only do so much with the material. '' On the other hand, Joe McGovern was more positive on Gooding 's performance, writing that his casting `` takes a risk and pulls it off. '' Elisabeth Garber - Paul of Rolling Stone described his performance as `` an unnervingly believable take on a potential psychopath with teetering sanity. '' Nick Venable of Cinema Blend also opined that Gooding 's turn as Simpson `` could indeed get him on a shortlist of Emmy nominees. '' In spite of the mixed reviews on their performances, Gooding and Travolta received Emmy nominations. Additionally, Travolta was among the recipients for Outstanding Limited Series, being one of the show 's producers. Gooding 's Emmy nomination for his work on the series was criticized by some reviewers. Reaction from individuals involved Mark Fuhrman, who is portrayed by Steven Pasquale, refused to watch the series and called his portrayal untruthful. In an interview with New York Post, he said, `` The last 20 years, I have watched the facts dismissed by the media, journalists and the public simply because it does not fit within the politically correct narrative. At this late date, FX is attempting to establish a historical artifact with this series without reaching out to any prosecution sources. In a time when Americans read less and less and investigative journalism is on vacation, it is sad that this movie will be the historical word on this infamous trial. After all, it was ' based on a true story. ' '' Marcia Clark praised the series and called Sarah Paulson 's portrayal of her `` phenomenal. '' Clark went to the Emmys with Sarah Paulson, who won that night for her performance. The families of Brown and Goldman expressed anger at the show. Ron Goldman 's father, Fred Goldman, had numerous criticisms of the series. He felt that there was not enough material about Ron, who is only depicted on the show as a corpse. He expressed concern that the generations of people who were too young to understand the events at the time would consider everything to be accurate. Goldman 's family also criticized the series for not depicting the murders, as they believe that Goldman died trying to save Brown from her attacker and that he was the man who eyewitnesses heard shouting that night. Goldman 's sister, Kim, criticised the series for sympathetic portrayals of Simpson and Kardashian. Nicole Brown 's sister, Tanya Brown, lashed out at the cast members for what she saw as a lack of consultation with the families.
