The new Netflix documentary series about the trial of OJ Simpson concerning the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman offers new perspectives on the case 30 years after the crime. Director Floyd Russ says that O.J. “lied to everyone.”
“American Manhunt: OJ Simpson” is the new Netflix documentary series that covers the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, which occurred in 1994. The production provides a different narrative about the controversial trial of the football player.
OJ Simpson passed away from cancer at the age of 76 in 2024. The series director, Floyd Russ, mentioned that the fact that this series was the first production released after the player’s death was an unexpected coincidence.
“He died when we were about 75% done with the documentary. OJ was sick but said on social media that he was fine. So, he lied to everyone, even on his deathbed,” he told The New York Post.
“American Manhunt: OJ Simpson” was released on Wednesday (29). The Netflix documentary series features new interviews and testimonies from defense attorneys, prosecutors, and police officers who arrived at the crime scene.
Russ commented that the story of the OJ Simpson case remains relevant, even 30 years later.
“It involves topics like domestic violence, racial issues, the conflict between police, prosecution, and defense, and who controls the narrative. These are topics people still discuss today,” said the director.
The crime of the century. The hunt for the truth.
