Kim Kardashian has reflected on her father accompanying her to the OJ Simpson trial.
The Kardashian family remains dedicated to achieving legal success and continuing the legacy of their father, Robert Kardashian.
However, prior to deciding to shift her focus from reality television to the legal system, she had already presided over the trial of OJ Simpson in a courtroom.
In 1994, OJ Simpson, an intimate associate of Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner and a former National Football League (NFL) player, was accused of the murders of his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her companion Ronald Goldman. Simpson was also a broadcaster and actor.
The trial was conducted in 1995, and OJ was represented by a team of attorneys known as the “Dream Team,” which included Robert.
OJ was tried and subsequently acquitted of the accusations in a contentious manner; Kim, who was only about 15 years old at the time, attended a portion of the trial.
Kim disclosed in an interview with GQ that her father was the one who arranged for her and Kourtney to observe a portion of the trial.

“My father pulled Kourtney and I out of school,” she continues. “I want you girls to witness a piece of history and experience what a trial is like,” he declared.
“Upon entering, we observed my mother seated on the opposite side. She stated, “You ought to be attending classes.” What are your intentions in this location?’
“Kourtney and I didn’t even look at her.”
Kim and Kourtney’s reaction stemmed from the fact that Kris and Robert were on opposing sides of the trial, with Kris being in closer proximity to Nicole and Robert to OJ.
Kim reflects that the fact that Kris and Robert were also separated at the time made it a “extremely difficult” time for the entire family.
“We believed Mom was contently remarried, so we would reside with Dad,” she continued. We did not wish for him to be alone.”
Although Khloe claims that Robert “took pride in never missing a day of school when he was a student,” he was undoubtedly correct in stating that Kim and Kourtney were observers of “a piece of history”: Simpson’s trial, which subsequently became the most widely covered criminal trial in human history.
Years after being acquitted of the charges in his initial prosecution pertaining to the fatalities of his wife and her friend, OJ was found liable for the deaths and ordered to pay $33.5 million in compensatory and punitive damages in a civil suit.
Since Simpson has not yet remitted the overwhelming majority of the settlement, his legal team has filed an appeal of the judgment.
Simpson, according to Goldman’s father, owes him $96 million as a result of interest accrued in the decades since the ruling, he claimed last year.
