Dream Team

The Dream Team was a group of lawyers that were on the defense side for the OJ Simpson Trial. These lawyers were the best lawyers you could get at the time, and OJ payed good money to acquire all of them. They all played a huge part in winning the jury over in OJ's favor. The team consisted of Robert Shapiro, Johnnie Cochran, Rob Kardashian, Barry Scheck, F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz, Gerald Uelman, Carl Douglas, and Peter Nuefeld. Robert Shapiro joined the team after OJ's lawyer Howard L. Weitzman left, Shapiro is known for assembling the Dream Team and he was the one who led them through most of the trial until Johnnie came in. Johnnie Cochran joined the team later in the trial and would become a leader, he was the lawyer that uttered the famous line," If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." Rob Kardashian was a really close friend to OJ, and he would hide in Rob's house to avoid media coverage. When OJ didn't turn himself in, Rob was the one who read the note that OJ left for him. Rob would later reinstate his license to practice law, and he would join the team. Barry Scheck is a forensic and DNA evidence expert, and he joined to team to call out the mistakes the forensic team made when they were collecting evidence at the crime scene. F. Lee Bailey joined the team and the most important thing that he did was he cross-examined Mark Fuhrman, and he eventually made Fuhrman plead the 5th. Carl Douglas was in the team because he was one of Johnnie's top lawyers. Peter Neufeld joined the team to also call out the mistakes the forensic team did on the crime scene, he is known most importantly for calling out the credibility on the blood trail between Nicole's and Ron's body. This team eventually won the trial for OJ. Do you think without this team OJ would have never won the trial?
