A film by Josh Freed
1 hour

Its been called the trial of the century, former football star O.J. Simpson facing charges of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. O.J. quickly became the fastest growing brand in California as a huge industry sprung up to cash in on the trial - books, t-shirts, exclusive TV interviews and even white Broncos. Was it the trial itself, or a media and merchandising manufactured event? MERCHANDISING MURDER asks whether the right to a free press is compatible with the rights of the accused.
