Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "The Same Trial . The Same Seat . Opposing VIews. The Simpson Trial in Black and White. O.J. Simpson may have been found not guilty, but the trial of the century rages on. Two respected national journalists who shared the same seat in the courtroom -- one man white, the other black -- confront the explosive theme that dominated the headlines: race. In this powerful debate, they air all their opposing viewpoints on the issues that sparked controversy during the trial: the crime, the jurors, the judge, the justice system, the evidence, the LAPS, the attorneys, the media circus -- and the stunning verdict that divided them and the nation." -- from the rear outer jacket. "O.J. Simpson was exonerated by the jury, but the trial of the century rages on. Two widely respected national journalists -- one black, one white -- shared seat C-12 in Judge Ito's courtroom for the duration of the double-murder trial, but their views of the case, and of its racially polarizing outcome, could hardly have been more diametrically opposed. Dennis Schatzman, on assignment for The Sentinel, a Los Angeles newspaper representing the African-American community, believes the prosecution failed to prove its case "beyond a reasonable doubt." Tom Elias, then a reporter for Scripps Howard News Service, is equally convinced of Simpson's guilt. With insight and emotion, they argue both sides in The Simpson Trial in Black and White, a powerful debate confronting all the issues that sparked controversy during the trial: the crime, the jury, the judge and justice system, the evidence, the LAPD, the attorneys, the media circus and public reaction -- both black and white -- to the stunning "not guilty" verdict that divided them and the nation." from the inner front jacket flap.
