O.J. Simpson was represented by a high-profile defense team, also referred to as the "Dream Team", which was initially led by Robert Shapiro and subsequently directed by Johnnie Cochran. Deputy District Attorneys Marcia Clark, William Hodgman, and later Christopher Darden thought that they had a strong case against Simpson, but Cochran was able to convince the jury that there was reasonable doubt concerning the validity of the State's DNA evidence, which was a relatively new form of evidence presented at trial but a division along racial lines emerged in observers' opinion of the verdict, which the media dubbed the "racial gap". Polling shows the gap has narrowed since the trial, with over half of polled black respondents in 2015 stating they believed Simpson was guilty. After the trial, the families of Brown and Goldman filed a lawsuit against Simpson.

The appearance of Dennis Fung, the Los Angeles Police Department's chief criminalist in the case, testimony shifted from the stormy nature of the Simpsons' marriage and Mr. Simpson's activities last June 12 to the manner in which the department collected and preserved evidence and just what that evidence might prove. Mr. Fung described how he and an assistant on June 13 lifted spots of blood from Mr. Simpson's white Ford Bronco, from the ground near that car, from along the driveway and from Mr. Simpson's home at 360 North Rockingham Avenue. He also described picking up a bloody right-hand glove, either scooping it up with a paper bag or placing it in that bag while wearing latex gloves.
