History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

OJ Simpson

In the summer of 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson, wife of former NFL player and actor OJ Simpson, was found stabbed to death outside of her Brentwood condominium along with her friend Ron Goldman. Goldman, a waiter at a local restaurant, had stopped by Nicole's home to deliver her sunglasses, which she had left behind earlier that evening while dining at the establishment.
Simpson eventually was charged and tried for the murders, and after a lengthy court ordeal, which would be televised to a riveted nation, he was finally acquitted. He was, however later found guilty of a wrongful death charge by a grand jury and ordered to pay a large settlement to both victims' families.
