The People V. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin
Explores the dealings and manoeuvring on both sides of the case, and how a combination of the prosecution's over-confidence, the defence's shrewdness, and the Los Angeles Police Department's incendiary history with the city's African-American community, gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt. This is an account of the O J Simpson trial.
