The 5th episode(already) is about the trial now in 1995. Now it gets good but 1st it starts off with johnny cochran getting pulled over while driving in what is presumably rodeo drive. Despite him wearing nice expensive clothes and driving a expensive car, the cop treats him like a criminal until he runs johnny's registration.
The cop lets him go but not before calling him an assistant D.A. I'm not sure how that is an insult. Ok now onto the good stuff which is the trial. Chris darden tries to give a speech about people not using the n word in the court but he fails to make much of an impact and comes off as timid. Johnny, of course gives a much more powerful mini speech.
The court scenes didn't take up the whole episode. Chris darden interviews mark furhman who comes off as artificial and a racist. Chris keeps pestering marcia clark to not allow mark to take the stand.
OJ's house gets made over to appear more wholesome to the jurors and yes it is extremely rare to have the jurors visit the home of someone on trial. Oh carl douglas had some sort of heart attack or stroke in the courthouse.
This leads to a chain of events where marcia appoints chris darden to take his place. I don't remember how the episode ended but it was still captivating to see everyone in the courthouse just battling out while the judge acts like a parent
