The OJ Simpson Trial

I checked out nine (yes, nine) books from the law library about the OJ Simpson trial. I've dismissed Darden's off the bat, as he writes like a petulant loser, referring to the defense lawyers by mocking nicknames and trying his best to excuse his sorry performance. Bugliosi's is good, if a tad racially dated ("a cool Black cat " is his description of one African-American). Toobin's, on which the current TV show is based, is very readable but also very biased against Simpson, and certainly not objective reporting.
