Alcatraz East Exhibit – Chasing Justice: The Crime that Captured the Nation
Alcatraz East Crime Museum is unveiling a new temporary exhibit for the anniversary of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman murders. With the 30th anniversary of those murders being June 12, 2024, a new temporary exhibit will be opened at Alcatraz East Crime Museum in memory of the crime that captivated the nation’s attention.
The new exhibit, “Chasing Justice: The Crime that Captured the Nation,” will feature family photos, information about the crime and victims, Nicole’s china cup and saucer, and ties Simpson wore at the trial. The exhibit honors the memory of the victims and provides historical information about the murders and trials that followed.
When Simpson and Goldman were found murdered in front of her Los Angeles home, her ex-husband, O.J. Simpson, was charged with the murders. O.J. was a well-known retired football player and the events made headlines across the nation. There were 95 million people who tuned in to watch the slow-speed police chase with O.J. in the white Bronco, which is currently on display at Alcatraz East Crime Museum. There were also 150 million people who tuned in to watch the not-guilty verdict be delivered on October 3, 1995.
The exhibit will open June 7, 2024, run through September 27, 2024, and is included in the regular admission ticket.
