In Contempt
In Contempt | Christopher Darden
3 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
#1 New York Times Bestseller. For more than a year, Christopher Darden argued tirelessly for the prosecution, giving voice to the victims in the 0.J. Simpson murder trial. In Contempt 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.

It‘s sad a case of domestic violence got swept up into a media circus and changed to racism. Even sadder, we have the Kardashian‘s now. Even saddededer, two people were still violently murdered. Money can buy you anything.

In Contempt | Christopher Darden

From Darden's description of LA's Main Street as he's driving downtown: "Next is the University of Southern California, where O. J. Simpson carved up opposing teams." Carved up? Interesting choice of words here. Intentional? I'd like to think so - Darden seems to have a wicked sense of humor!
