Simpson, center, clenches his fists in victory after the jury said he was not guilty in the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in a Los Angeles courtroom as attorneys F. Lee Bailey, left, and Robert Shapiro, right, look on. FX is joining with "American Horror Story" producer Ryan Murphy on a true-crime anthology miniseries. The new miniseries, "American Crime Story," will focus each season on a different crime that captured the public's imagination, FX said Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2014. The 1994 murder of Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman, and Simpson's arrest and trial led to a prolonged media frenzy. The former NFL hall of famer and former TV and movie star was acquitted in the case but is in prison for a hotel robbery.
