Remembering the O.J. Simpson murder trial

O.J. Simpson has died at the age of 76. The former football star was famously acquitted in the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in a case that dominated headlines and TV screens for months. He was later found liable for their deaths by a jury in a civil trial. CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman, who was a Court TV anchor during Simpson's trial; Ed Gordon, the first journalist to speak with Simpson after his acquittal; and "Entertainment Tonight" co-host Nischelle Turner joined CBS News to speak about the trial.
