Book Review By Nathaniel Ford
Another City, Not My Own by Dominick Dunne

The trial of OJ Simpson made stars out of Judge Lance Ito, and the attorneys involved: Robert Shapiro, F. Lee Bailey, and Johnnie Cochran, who were known as "the Dream Team". What seemed to be forgotten in all of this, was the fact that two human beings had been brutally murdered, and the man accused of murdering them was an A-list celebrity.      

The details which made up this case, mostly having to do with the sex lives of the victims, interested much of the public. Attorney Johnnie Cochran would attempt to convince the jury that OJ was the victim of a massive conspiracy, which had been organized by racist police officers.
