American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson Official Trailer The trial of the century comes to TV courtesy of ‘American Horror Story’ producer Ryan Murphy and FX . American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, the first installment of the new limited series from prolific producer Ryan Murphy, will debut on FX in early 2016 with an all-star cast portraying the key figures in the infamous O.J. Simpson murder trial. The cast includes Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson, John Travolta as defense attorney Robert Shapiro, David Schwimmer as defense attorney Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark, Courtney B. Vance as defense attorney Johnnie Cochran, and Bruce Greenwood as Los Angeles County District Attorney Gil Garcetti. Based on the book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin, the limited series is a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers. It explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution overconfidence, defense shrewdness, and the LAPD’s history with the city’s African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt. Production of the FX limited series is currently underway in Los Angeles.

Jesus Take The Wheel: Prisoner Kills Cellmate By Stuffing Wet Toilet Paper Down His Throat And Strangling Him To Get Death Penalty

This is some phucked up isht. Prisoner Murders Cellmate To Get Death Penalty He would be sentenced to death after killing his cellmate, but then he would go straight to hell. What’s the rush? According to Mail Online A prisoner murdered his cellmate by stuffing wet toilet paper down his throat and strangling him – the same way he murdered his girlfriend a year ago, it emerged today. Scott Alexander Greenberg, 28, of St Petersburg, Florida, killed Kelly Damon Harding, 48, at Pinellas County Jail in the early hours of Sunday morning after telling fellow inmates he would rather be executed than spend the rest of his life in prison. Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said it was the first time in his 31 years that he heard of an inmate kill another at the jail. ‘What’s clear is that he had a plan, and he decided to execute that plan early this morning,’ he said at a press conference. The murder happened just minutes after prison guards performed a routine check. There was no surveillance camera in the cell. Deputies heard gurgling and thumping before Greenberg shouted out: ‘I did it, it’s done!’ At 1am, Greenberg yelled to deputies that there was ‘a man down’ in his cell. Deputies found Harding unconscious and under cardiac arrest, and he was rushed to a hospital where he died. The pair had just been put into the same cell together on Saturday night because they had been aggressive to other inmates and staff in separate incidents, the Tampa Bay Times reported. Normally, Gualtieri said, the jail tries to keep violent and nonviolent inmates separate. ‘Single cell space is limited so sometimes that does not happen,’ he said, adding the jail was crowded at the weekend and deputies were forced to move people around. Greenberg is now isolated and under supervision. He has a criminal record dating back to 2001 for drug possession, domestic battery and check fraud. According to the state Department of Corrections, Harding since 1985 had served at least six prison stints for charges including burglary, drug possession and carrying a concealed firearm. The jail handles around 3,000 inmates per day. So if they were aggressive to other inmates…what did they think was going to happen?
