white house, and this is cnn >> cnn breaking news >> we're beginning with breaking news. oj simpson is dead at 76 after losing a battle to cancer according to his family, simpson, maybe one of the most controversial people in our nation's history before his murder trial, which divided the country and essentially turned to me into an outcast. he was a celebrated football star who won the heisman trophy and who was also an actor and a pitch man, universally loved by americans but that life is he knew it ended on june 12, 1994 when his ex-wife, nicole brown simpson and her friend, ron goldman were found stabbed to death outside of her home in los angeles. the shock of their murders intensifying five days later for hours time stood still is nearly 100 million americans watched on tv. >> at >> this simpson taking police
10:02 am
on a low speed chase 60 miles through los angeles in that white ford bronco simpson would go on to surrender and stand trial for the murders he was eventually acquitted in what was dubbed the trial of the century. and it aired on television daily, almost daily for 11 months capturing the world's attention here was one of those historic moments from trial >> we, the jury and embarrassing tidal action find the defendant or oren. thank james simpson not guilty of the crime of murder in violation of penal code section 1807, a felony upon nicole brown simpson a human being as charged in count one of the inflammation superior court of the state of california, county of los angeles in the matter of the people state of california versus or anthony james simpson. we the jury in the above and tidal action find a defendant or james simpson not guilty of the crime murder, and violation of penal code section 1807, of felony up on ronald

10:04 am
verified x account said this on april 10th, our father or enthralled james simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. he was surrounded by his children and grandchildren during this time would transition his family. ask that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace let's discuss all the angles of the story with cnn's jean casarez, investigative journalists, dianne diamond, who is the first reporter at the murder scene in >> 1994, and attorney or riva martin is also with us let's start with jean casarez, gene this story touches so much of american life and what was happening in the 1990s from so many angles, but perhaps one of the most enduring legacies of the simpson trial is the way that it defined how americans view the legal system no, absolutely. and they're really two oj simpson's, right? i mean, there's the football icon and there's also the one
10:05 am
that was charged in to criminal cases, convicted in one acquitted in another. but i think because there were cameras in that courtroom, you saw a legal story play out and that trial went four months. cnn covered it wall-to-wall. court tv had their cameras. it made the court tv network at that point in the mid 90s. but you got to see witnesses, you got to see demeanor. you've got to see social issues. you got to see a dream team of a defense to show to show that you've got to have a high-quality defense of tyranny or team. and you also saw the outcome. but the mystery remained because the mystery of what happened to oj to the victims in this case, to nicole brown simpson, to ron goldman. i just got off the phone with david cook. david cook has been the attorney one for the goldman's for years and he is the one that has tried to collect the monies from the resulting civil verdict because
10:06 am
he did not win in the civil court in california. and i think as you have mentioned, they struggled for years. the goldman's to get any type of monetary damages that they were awarded that was the justice they got was civil court and i spoke to david cook minutes ago and asking him, what did you get, what did you ever get in the form of justice from that civil trial? >> do you remember the book? >> if i did it? that was >> a book that came out. well, the goldman's got the right to that book and it became, i did it and it was on the new york times best seller. and that's how the goldman's got some of the civil judgment that they were due from that civil trial following the criminal trial in los angeles. >> i read that book and it was sort of stunning that oj simpson, after being acquitted, had written a book is if he had committed the murders and that the way this family had to get some of the damages was 200 it out there as if he had done it,
10:07 am
that that was a way that they could get some of the monetary damages that they were due. it was really kind of it's donning and didn't seem like something that should happen let's talk with dianne diamond. she is an investigative journalist, as we said, she was the first reporter at the scene of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman murders. and i think diane what kind of all transported back to 1994 when we are here seeing that oj simpson died take us back to 1994. and when you arrive there and what it was like yeah, briana, that's it. that was the first thing i thought about when i heard about oj simpson's passing today was that murders seen? my camera man and i rolled up on the brentwood apartment of nicole brown simpson just as they were loading the bodies into a mortal truck. and the more than truck pulled away and there we were standing outside on the sidewalk along pathway going up to her front gate and
10:08 am
the pavers on the sidewalk. we're full of blood there were pawprints from her dog who had gotten loose after the murders and had gone down to the corner and started whole playing in, alerted some neighbors and we went inside the front gate and i was done to see there wasn't a cobra and symptoms living room. it was all glass the candles were still going on the horse up on the fireplace mantle piece, and there was a big picture of oj and their two children and it was so eerie to be standing there literally in pools of blood. the police had gone. there was no police presence. there were some police tape, some, but we sort of ducked under that. and there i was standing where those two people had been murdered and the cancels we're still burning on the mantle piece. it that's the first thing i thought of today when i heard about this news >> wow, really insightful color
10:09 am
of what those moments were like. let's bring in a riva martin and a riva one of the things that o'jays trial brought to light was the way in which questions about policing and the way that communities of color are policed we're too often ignored, i think by the country as a whole. and they were central to this case and they were a huge part of why oj was acquitted absolutely. we >> can't forget the testimony of mark kermode, one of the detectives that was very involved in the collection of evidence. and the investigation of nicole grounds death as well as ron goldman and mark firm and perjured himself on the witness stand. he was asked a question under. a withering cross-examination by johnnie cochran about making former racist statements using the inward and he lied about it.
10:10 am
and there was evidenced he had done a recording with someone else and they were able to bring that in and impeach him. and in fact, he had to plead no contest to perjury charges that were filed against him after the trial of oj simpson ended. so we cannot underestimate the racist nature of policing new los angeles during the period of this oj simpson trial. this is right after the 1992 civil unrest where we watched in los angeles white police officers protect affluent neighborhoods while they allowed neighborhoods in black and brown communities to burn, where we watch the police be engaged in all kinds of violent conduct against protesters. so that was the backdrop in which this trial was happening. and the racism of the la police department was on full display in this trial, there were gaping holes in the prosecutor's case, not just with marc furman's perjured testimony, but also with the collection and preservation of evidence. johnnie cochran called it a contaminated
10:11 am
cesspool assess pool of, of contamination. we just heard diane, so she walked up to the crime scene and she could have walked under the tape. that's how poorly this crime scene he was maintained was preserved. >> and yet they were >> forced to put on a case using the evidence from that contaminated crime scene and using these police officers, many of whom white mark furman, had a horrific history and pass with respect to the treatment and statements about african-americans and yet even a contaminated crime scene. and this is also the early days of dna, right? and what should have been it's so interesting to think about if this case have been tried 20 years later, it probably would have just been a slam dunk on dna because contamination doesn't make dna more likely to match a suspect, it would make it less likely to match a suspect. and yet the defense was able to overcome that evidence or riva i wonder is as you look back on this because it did reveal so much
10:12 am
about what was going on in los angeles with policing, what was going on in the nation. >> how did >> the verdict age over time? >> i don't think age well brianna, i think folks who had formed an opinion about his guilt back when this happened in 1994, probably still believed that he's guilty. those that believed that this was a setup that he was framed by los angeles police detectives. problem we still believe that this was a setup by the police department and there's ample evidence. i think for each of those positions with respect to this this notion that this was a framing, one of the detectives involved in the case took blood, took a vial of blood from oj simpson at the police department put that vial in his jacket get pocket, and then went to the crime scene that allow the warriors, the defense attorneys argue, basically make the argument suggestion to the jury that the blood at oj
10:13 am
simpson's are at the crime scene was actually smeared on by this blood vile that was taken from this detective. so those kinds of mistakes make it very difficult for us to have any faith in the criminal justice system or in the evidence that was presented by the prosecution. but yet here we are. if oj simpson didn't do it, there's never been any one else identified as the murderer. so for those folks that believe oj simpson is guilty, they don't have any other alternative there's never been any other person identified as a suspect >> dianne, we do want to give you the last word is someone who closely covered this story and this case as jean casarez put it a moment ago, you can split oj simpson's life into two chapters. essentially, this was the central turning point of it 20 years removed nearly from the murder of nicole brown simpson and ronald goldman what
10:14 am
are your reflections on everything that's transpired and the legacy ultimately of the biggest moment of o'jays life. yeah, >> i think that the double-murder, whoever committed it a court's a jury said he didn't do it. and then his conviction for an armed robbery in las vegas, which we haven't mentioned yet. i think that honestly stains the football hero, the hertz rent-a-car guy running through the airport looking so handsome i think people will remember him more for the criminal aspect of his life rather than the athletic dion diamond or riva martin and jean casarez. thank you all so much for the perspective we're covering this breaking news from all angles they with cnn news

10:21 am
media. now this was a defining moment in american history that shaped our current politics and culture. you had the chase that started at all that drew about 95 million live viewers, which was unheard of really back in the 90s when this was happening. and you didn't have this current live information ecosystem, people typically would come home and watch the evening news and they weren't consumed by what was happening live back then, but 95 million people tuned into watch this chase than this trial goes on and it generates mass interests. it gives birth to court tv. it really boost cnn a hunter 50 million people tune in live to watch the the, the, the judgment did the culmination of the trial and it really boost this cable television ecosystem. and you have then soon after this trial, rupert murdoch, he launches fox news in 1996 as
10:22 am
cnn really a solidified in court, td again, becomes a thing and then you also have this trial birthing reality television. this was a reality tv moments before reality tv was a thing. of course, there's an obvious connection to reality television being the kardashian, but it boosts reality television and then you have this media environments that is with cable news and reality tv. >> and then >> you have someone like donald trump. i think that comes along and you can really see the connections to where we are as a society today in our politics in our media. and you can trace a lot of that back to oj simpson and the mass interest in his trial >> so interesting, oliver, thank you for that report. let's get into his sports legacy here. we're joined by cnn sports analyst christine brennan and sports broadcaster carried champion carrie first off, just give us your reaction
10:23 am
especially from the sports perspective. obviously, all of this becomes, i think intersectional. but what is your reaction learning that oj simpson has died? >> yeah, really that's actually true it is. i'll intersectional. i say that about sports often, but for me this is even more a stay home because i grew up in la. i remember the chase. i remember people running to the freeway to say that they want to send these messages to oj simpson and not just contextually what i remember is that this to me was the very first time i can remember how divisive we were in public. the black culture was very excited about the fact that oj simpson was quote, unquote, not guilty. and i remember it being on the heels of rodney king and that whole entire community, at least from when i grew up there and los angeles felt like it was it was them versus us type of campaign. we all know how it all turned out in terms of what people feel about oj simpson, but his legacy is interesting in sports to me, because oj
10:24 am
simpson was the very first to meet black icon in sports that was accepted in mainstream media where people really, truly appreciated what he represented. he was america's friend. if you will, the hertz commercials that we talk about that wonderful colgate smile he went to usc. he was a heisman winner, which is the highest level of rewards you can get as a football player, he was everything and he was very intentional about being the type of football icon slash players slash star that america loved. because he was able to transition easily into the movies because people really loved him. but it was a choice. oj simpson new, especially when he was coming up and out and i'll wrap this quickly when he was in the midst in the 60s and the 70s, they wanted oj simpson to be a part of a civil rights movement. they being luau sender known as kareem abdul-jabbar, jim brown, they wanted get him to be a part of that community, but oj wanted to beat a superstar icon, which he was an arguably this to me is one of the most, if not the famous case of someone going
10:25 am
from a hero to someone who was a horror story and not necessarily overnight, but you would've never thought this would have been the case? >> christine brennan to you as kerry just said, the trajectory of oj simpson's life is almost shakespearean well, it is for us and yes. carry detail that very well for me growing up as a girl who loves sports, watching oj play, heisman trophy winner usc force, then into the nfl and the buffalo bills and the 2000 yard record, 2003. i'll remember that number forever. as a girl growing up until leto just loving sports that was oj. and oj of course, also was really one of the first athletes to cross over into our culture. i think he may well have been the first in a huge way with the hertz commercials, with the fact that, oj was not only there on sundays for the nfl, but monday through saturday with the commercials as a pitch
10:26 am
man and as an icon in our culture. and you think now of athletes, we've talked about caitlin clark a lot the last couple of weeks, angel reese, the commercials you see of course, tom brady, lebron james, michael jordan, serena williams they have all crossed into our lives from sports. oj was really the first one to be able to do that and lead the way for so many others. now again, i think it's also important to say that the fall from grace, of course, all self-induced, the murder trial, the civil court, the civil decision that he lost, and just the absolute disgrace as we remember, of course, there were two people who were murdered but when you're were asking, we've talking about sports that's the question. this man was iconic and again, the fall from grace was so extraordinary because he had so far to fall he did have so far to fall. christine carey. thank you so much to both of you. and we will be right back

10:32 am
this key state and maybe even the election in 2024 arizona go to states rights everybody else bring it back in and that will be taken care by the >> trump said that by the way from georgia, a state with a six-week ban, as he wants arizona to go back to its 15 week ban. that aside, the answer is clear to him and his backers. the answer is democrats doing him a solid trump opposes the law and this ruling. or you can believe joe's make pretend donald trump that doesn't exist. and you know what arizona's governors i'm a craft. the state's attorney general, is a democrat. the state legislatures almost evenly divided. if democrats you want to get rid of the law. well, you have a chance right now to
10:33 am
get rid of it. and i would advise you get rid of it. they would rather use it as a political tool ahead of november well, sean hannity generally operates in a fact-free zone. he is right about one thing they're arizona's legislature is almost evenly divided in favor of republicans. and when he proposed that democrats get rid of the law, he did so disingenuous lee and i'm being generous because a democrat tried to do just that stuff when you stall hamilton back in january and her bill never even got a hearing in committee, but arizona doesn't need democrats to save the day. they've got republicans. and one tried to get moving on a vote to overturn that 18, 64 era abortion ban yesterday and six hours before sean hannity suggested the arizona legislature could just make it go poof. a republican made sure it didn't >> all in favor of that motion, but i drove know is how much

10:36 am
welcoming immigrants and refugees is the definition of what iowa nice should be. the group said saying that governor reynold's is failing newly arrived and long time iowa's certainly there is a very good chance, i would say a nearly 100% chance that this law is challenged in the same way it is in texas right now, that is stuck in federal court as judge their way whether or not that law is constitutional, certainly a similar legal path is highly likely in iowa back to you when wild, thanks so much for the update still ahead on cnn news central, the fight over fisa, the controversial surveillance program exposing another fault line and republican politics and is the latest problem that threatens to tear them 40 apart and throw congress into chaos >> are you all-star teams return for a waterfront

speaker mike johnson joining us now to discuss, is republican congressman tom tiffany of wisconsin sir, thanks for being with us. you'd posted on x formerly twitter that the federal government should not be spine in on us citizens without a warrant, get a warrant. obviously, you have concerns here. you seem to be against section 702 as it stands, you did not though, join your colleagues in tanking what was a rule vote, a procedural vote yesterday? hey, can you tell us why >> yeah, that's correct. i just wanted to get to a vote. that's why i voted yes. on that procedural rule vote because i want to be able to hold on the amendment that stops these warrantless searches. and i believe we have the votes in the house to be able to pass this. i mean, look at the judiciary committee, which i sit on. we pass that our version of the bill outta judiciary 35 to two. i think there's broad pipe bipartisan support for these reforms. 2702 and i want. to talk about some
10:43 am
of the politics of this. but first let's talk about the substance what is the most important reform to you in your opinion >> it's, it's the amendment that prevent fence warrantless searches. i mean, that really is the amendment that's at the heart of it. and that was contained in the judiciary bill. i was disappointed that that's not the base feel that we got. but anyhow, that was the negotiations that went on through the house. we have the amendment before us. i do think we have the votes and that's why i voted yes on yes hopefully, leadership and the recalcitrant 19 at this point that voted no. hopefully they're working out their differences and we can get this to the floor and be able to vote on it because i know speaker johnson really wants to get this done by the deadline of april 19. >> what a warrant preclude the government from surveilling foreign citizen in this foreign communication. if there was an american citizen in the communication yeah, i don't believe that this would preclude us from being able to
10:44 am
access information in regards to a foreign individual. i mean, think about it, fisa, it starts out with foreign important intelligence surveillance. there'll be able to continue to do that. >> this is enlarge >> part of failure by our intelligence agencies and doing their job while they're talking consistent gently about going after americans. and we see it regularly over the last few years, they should be focused on the real threats to america what are you talking specifically about >> i'm talking about when they go after catholics in their richmond diocese, when they go after people that go to school board meetings, when they when they work hand in glove with the social media companies to deny people are throttled people from being able to share information. why should be done? i'm an o2. i don't think that's seven o to write i want to stick to i don't think there are diverting their diverting their diverting recent we need we need to do from the world looked at least 702. this is very important. that's the
10:45 am
topic you can hear according to the us intel community, 60% of the president's daily brief articles in 20 in 23 stemmed from fisa section 702 data. bill barr, who was former president trump's ag says if there's a terror attack, anyone who votes against fisa he's going to have blood on their hands what is your reaction to that >> so we don't have to compromise people's fourth amendment rights here and play plus, we put an exception, including in the judiciary bill, if it is sold time sensitive the intelligence agencies get an exception it is written into the bill. they're able to continue to do their work. if they need to do it, and if they need to get an immediate stop. for somebody that is seeking to do america harm >> all right. let's talk now about some of the politics of this, because as we said, republicans thanked this rule vote. >> i think that doesn't mean
10:46 am
much to a lot of people, but that's actually as you know, that that's a big deal that doesn't happen very often, but it's been happening spinning increasingly with this sort of cadre of house republicans. how should we, you can help us, how should we understand this vote? was it actually about but opposition to phi's a section 702 or was it a protest vote against speaker johnson because the failed rule votes under speaker mccarthy we're a bit of a harbinger of his fate >> yeah, i can't speak to is this some effort to undermine speaker johnson? because i have not heard that. i think it's a group of people that want to have a better bill. we're going to find out now, probably in the next 24 hours or so, if that it's actually the case. if we see a bill come back to the floor and i think that there's some negotiations that are going on behind the scenes between leadership and some of those nine team to try to get the bill to the floor. i sure
10:47 am
hope that that's the case >> it does so happen that many of the people who you think won a better bill are also the people cool who ousted kevin mccarthy. there's quite an overlap in the venn diagram there. do you do you personally have confidence in speaker johnson's leader? for ship >> yeah. i think if he gets this bill to the floor, he's trying to work his way through it. >> and >> i mean, we're we're going to find out leadership is a tough thing. he'd stepped into a very difficult job and he's just trying to work his way through it and try to get to the best place. now those of us that sit on judiciary, that believe in this bill and making sure that we don't have warrantless searches. we're gonna fight as hard as we can to make sure that that happens congressman tom tiffany. thank you so much. we appreciate your time today >> good to join you. briana. >> next, he's accused of stealing millions of dollars from dodgers star shohei

10:53 am
superstar shohei ohtani. >> this came after accusations that he'd stolen millions of dollars from ohtani to pay gambling debts. we have seen a national correspondent, nick watt joining us live from los angeles nick, pretty interesting here. tell us what you're learning >> well, a couple of bombshells in this press conference, which is still ongoing, they're taking questions right now now, initially, everybody's been reporting that it was about 4.5 million. that ippei mizuhara, the interpreter, allegedly stole from his it's friend and boss. the baseball star, shohei ohtani. we have not been told that in fact it is over 16 million that was stolen between 2021 and just recently, the money allegedly stolen in order to finance the interpreter's gambling habit and apparently, i've been told by people connected to the case he was not a very good gambler. so to finance his habit and to finance the losses that he
10:54 am
made. one interesting little nugget that we were given is that the money used to place the bets and play off the debts that came from shohei ohtani's account. but when there were any winnings, those went into the interpreter's account. now, one of the questions that's really been unanswered is how on earth could this interpreter actually access this money from shohei ohtani's account without being noticed well, we have just been given an insight into how that happened. apparently, the interpreter set up the bank account for shohei ohtani, denied access to that account to any of ohtani's other advisors claiming that ohtani wanted that account to be kept private, and we were just told in this press conference that the interpreter ippei mizuhara, would also impersonate shohei ohtani in dealings with bank officials in order to get these massive transfers of money approved so
10:55 am
he is being charged with bank fraud. we are told that that carries a sentence, maximum sentence of 30 years. now, the new york times has been reporting that ippei mizuhara is already in negotiations for some kind of plea deal here. we have not confirmed that as-yet, guys nic, have we heard from ohtani and all of this >> well, we heard from ohtani a couple of weeks ago, he gave a very strident press conference in which he called ippei mizuhara has listen, i mean, these guys were friends they work together, but they were friends and actually the interpreter was just described, not just as an interpreter, but as a day facto manager. now, show a ohtani and that press conference called mizuhara, a gambler, a thief, and a liar, and he vehemently denied any connection at all, said he had not placed bets on baseball ever. one other thing to note, by the way apparently the
