"IF I DID IT" by O.J. Simpson

The publication of this memoir allegedly authored by Simpson came with nearly as much controversy as the trial itself. When reports surfaced that the original book was, in fact, a confession of murder entitled "I Did It" that Simpson had written with the help of a ghostwriter, people were outraged. The Goldman family worked to have the rights to the book transferred to them, and the book was released with a new title, "If I Did It." Many boycotted the book, which purported to present Simpson's explanation of how, hypothetically, he would have murdered Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.

"OUTRAGE: The Five Reasons Why O.J. Simpson got away with murder" by Vincent Bugliosi

The prosecutor of the Manson trial and author of "Helter Skelter" Vincent Bugliosi tackles the Simpson trial in this no-holds-barred investigation into the case. By presenting the overwhelming amount of evidence against Simpson and revealing what he believes to be the errors of the prosecution and even the presiding judge, Bugliosi validates what many believe to be true: that the non-guilty verdict was a despicable miscarriage of justice.

"His Name Is Ron" by Kim Goldman

Ron Goldman's sister Kim Goldman has become an advocate for victim's rights in the years following her brother's murder. Her 1997 book "His Name is Ron" is Goldman's attempt to bring attention to the plight of the Goldman family and to give a name and face to her brother, whose brutal murder she feels was overlooked by the media.

The book also reveals aspects of the civil case against Simpson, and illuminates the importance of speaking out on the plight of the families of victims of violent crime.

"The Run Of His Life" by Jeffrey Toobin

Toobin's account of the Simpson trial is considered by most to be the definitive version of the notorious trial, and was in fact used as the source material for "American Crime Story."

Reported and published just one year after the verdict, Toobin goes in-depth with behind-the-scenes information that you didn't hear despite the trial's expansive media coverage. Compellingly written as any fictional crime thriller, the fact that this story is true just makes it all the more chilling to re-live.

"Without a Doubt" by Marcia Clark

Since the trial, Prosecutor Marcia Clark has served as a legal correspondent on several television programs, and made the transition into fiction, publishing four crime novels. Her 1998 memoir of the Simpson trial, "Without a Doubt," is a compelling read that includes her experience dealing with the intense scrutiny of the case and personal attacks as the mother of two going through a public divorce.

Ultimately, Clark concludes that the prosecution presented a strong case but failed to anticipate the influential role Simpson's celebrity and race would have on the jury.

"American Tragedy: The Uncensored History Of The O.J. Simpson Defense" by Lawrence Schiller and James Willwerth

Authors Lawrence Schiller and James Willwerth approach the Simpson case from the defense's side, exploring how Simpson's attorneys built his defense from day one, working tirelessly to present their client as a victim of racial prejudice to the jury.

Evidence, such as Simpson's lie-detector test, and what he was really doing in the Bronco, are also explored, as are the attitudes of Simpson's own family, and what the defense re-arranged in Simpson's home during a visit from the jury.
