The Run Of His Life

Robert talks to New Yorker writer Jeffrey Toobin about his new book, The Run of His Life: The People Versus O.J. Simpson. We learn about how prosecutor Marcia Clark disregarded the advice of a "jury expert" because she believed that black female jurors would be sympathetic to Nicole Brown Simpson; how defense attorneys Johnnie Cochran and Robert Shapiro spoke publicly about Simpson's guilt; and about a treasured memento of Judge Lance Ito's: a note of support from Arsenio Hall.
