Vanity Fair: “The death of O.J. Simpson this week has revived memories of another “Trial of the Century,” a murder case against a football legend that riveted the nation and fueled a media spectacle unlike any before it. The trial of a former president, who has pleaded not guilty to the 34 charges against him for falsifying business records, will surely be one of the most closely followed cases of this generation (especially as Trump simultaneously runs for president).”
“But whereas millions of Americans tuned in to every legal twist and turn of the Simpson trial, the lack of cameras for Trump’s proceedings puts an even greater responsibility on the news media to inform the public about what’s actually happening inside the courtroom.”
James Zirin: The trials of O.J. and Trump — a study in parallels.
