Jeffrey Toobin: The Run of His Life: The People v. O. J. Simpson

I watched a lot of television, too. I always learned a great deal from my friends Dan Abrams and Kristin Jeannette-Meyers and all of their colleagues at Court TV, as well as from Jack Ford at NBC, Cynthia McFadden at ABC, and Bill Whitaker at CBS. Thanks, too, to Jim Moret and the Simpson coverage team at CNN. For assisting me in tracking down videotapes and transcripts of television coverage of the case, I thank Tracy Day of ABC, Stacie Griffith of NBC, Tom Mazzarelli of CNN, and Sybil MacDonald of KCBS in Los Angeles.

I drew on the following books and articles in my analysis of the case and its context.
