The People vs. O. J. Simpson ranks indisputably as the trial of the century. It featured a double murder, a celebrity defendant, a perjuring witness, and a glove that didn't fit. The trial became a media circus of outrageous proportions that led the judge to sequester the jury, eject disruptive reporters, and fine the lawyers thousands of dollars. Now an insider at The People vs. O. J. Simpson reveals the untold story of the most widely followed trial in American history and the indelible impact it has had on the judiciary, the media, and the public.
As the Los Angeles Superior Court's media liaison, Jerrianne Hayslett had unprecedented access to the trial - and met with Judge Lance Ito daily - as she attempted, sometimes unsuccessfully, to mediate between the court and members of the media and to balance their interests. In Anatomy of a Trial, she takes listeners behind the scenes to shed new light on people and proceedings and to show how the media and the trial participants changed the court-media landscape to the detriment of the public's understanding of the judicial system.
For those who think they've already read all there is to know about the Simpson trial, this audiobook is an eye-opener. Hayslett kept a detailed journal during the proceedings, in which she recorded anecdotes and commentary. She also shares previously undisclosed information to expose some of the myths and stereotypes perpetuated by the trial, while affirming other stories that emerged during that time. By examining this trial after more than a decade, she shows how it has produced a bunker mentality in the judicial system, shaping media and public access to courts with lasting impact on such factors as cameras in the courtroom, jury selection, admonishments from the bench, and fair-trial/free-press tensions.
The first account of the trial written with Judge Ito's cooperation, Anatomy of a Trial is a pause-registering narrative. It also includes perspectives of legal and journalism authorities and offers a blueprint for how the courts and media can better meet their responsibilities to the public. Even today, judges, lawyers, and journalists across the country say the Simpson trial changed everything. This audiobook finally tells us why.

Anatomy of a Trial Public Loss Lessons Learned from The People vs OJ Simpson (Audible Audio Edition) Jerrianne Hayslett Sheila Book University Press Audiobooks Books Reviews
"Anatomy of a Trial" emerged well after the gush of books that poured out of the O. J. Simpson murder case. But thanks to the author's sharp perceptions and daily access to presiding judge Lance Ito as the court's media liaison, the book is loaded with behind-the-scenes detail and quotes not found in any of its predecessors. It also offers a balanced treatment of the still-smouldering cameras-in-the-courtroom issue. I covered the Simpson murder trial and have read most of the ensuing books. If your time or attention span is limited to just one, "Anatomy" is a good choice.
Hayslett's book takes me, as a professional whose work took me into the court system for many years, right where I want to be fly on the wall, and better yet, fly on the right wall to not only see the inner machinations of this high profile trial, but to hear the inner machinations of those directly involved in it. I already knew enough to stay away from the media feeding frenzy on this landmark trial Hayslett's book brought me the information I craved about it.
Reading yet one more book about the vastly over-written and dissected 1995 Simpson murder trial wasn't particularly high on my to-do list when it came out, especially since it was published so long after the fact, some 13 years post verdict. But since I'd read all the other books about it, I decided to keep my record intact and give "Anatomy of a Trial" a try. Wow, what a surprise.
First, the author and publisher did themselves no favors by choosing the title and subtitle -- "Public Loss, Lessons Learned From The People vs. O.J. Simpson." Rather than being a post-mortum of the trial, it's a behind-the-scenes examination of everybody's behavior and the effect everyone had on each other through the spectrum of media coverage. The subtitle, while more true to what the book is about, sounds a bit wonky and boring. I found it to be neither.
The book reads like a novel full of interesting, eclectic and eccentric characters. It goes beyond just media coverage of the trial and back-scenes antics, though. It looks at how the media coverage has continued to reverberate since then in all kinds of ways and in both the U.S. and other countries. Some of the ways is with judges' decisions about media coverage of high-profile trials, state and national courts' rules about letting courtroom procedures be photographed and broadcast and how people perceive the legal system and its players.
This book goes one step further, though, but recommending what court officials and the media can do to avoid such circuses as the Simpson trial. That part seemed a little like it was tacked on at the end and is definitely of more interest to judges and the media. Despite that, though, this is a book I literally could not put down. It also provided much more of a feeling of "closure" than other books on the subject, which I think a lot of people felt like they needed -- I know I did -- with the shocking verdict.
Thought this book would be more about personal stories about the people involved on the defense and prosecution teams. First half was all about Judge Ito and his involvement, which was quite boring. The second half was a little better but I found it a struggle to keep reading.
This offering is not bad, but it is also not great. Read Bugliosi's book on the Simpson case if you want both insight and drama.
Very good read. It was very interesting to read about the inside drama.
A disappointing view of the difficulties the court clerk experienced during the Simpson trial. It doesn't add much of anything to the story.
I've read many books about OJ and the murders and trial. This one was okay.
