A jury found Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson not guilty of murder in the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman on October 3, 1995. On February 4, 1997, a jury found Simpson responsible for both deaths and awarded the Brown and Goldman families $33.5 million in damages. How is this possible? Was the second trial a retrial of the first? If not, what is the relationship, if any, between the two proceedings? Isn't it double jeopardy if someone is tried twice for the same actions? Your response should be between 150 and 300 words.
