Simpson trial but I honestly don’t. After reading this article I want to sit in on jury duty to see how the jury makes their decisions about a person depending on their race. I guess you can never know exactly what a juror is thinking, however discussing the evidence with them might give some interesting insight as to how they are coming to their verdict and if race has anything to do with it.

The major example of how the media represented race in relation to this trial is a cover story that TIME magazine presented. The magazine took an old mug shot picture of OJ and darkened it to make it look more sinister and “scary.” Interestingly, Newsweek had a cover with the original version of the picture.

Something I kept thinking was how did the media play a role in this? How did the media show the races in different ways?
