Síntesis:

An essential examination of the rise and fall of Orenthal James Simpson, and parallels between his incredible story with that of race in America. This critically-acclaimed documentary series reveals how he first became a football star, why America fell in love with him off the field, what happened in the trial for his ex-wife's murder, and finally, why he is now sitting in jail for another crime 20 years later.

Part IV: As all the world watches Simpson's murder trial, OJ's defense team lead by Johnnie Cochran change the focus of the trial to a racial one and accuses the LAPD and detective Mark Fuhrman of racism instead of focusing on the actual murders -- summary from imdb.com

Part V: OJ is acquitted of the murders, but soon many of those close to him begin to doubt his innocence. In the years that follow, he loses his fortune following a civil trial and is arrested and sentenced in a unrelated robbery attempt -- summary from imdb.com
