TO GO WITH AFP STORY by SARA PUIG, ENTERTAINMENT-US-CRIME-SIMPSON-AMFOOT
(FILES) - A file picture taken on June 17, 1994 shows a police car pursuing the Ford Bronco (white, R) carrying fugitive and murder suspect O.J Simpson on a 90 minutes chase on Los Angeles freeway. The car driven by Simpson's friend Al Cowling eventually drove to Simpson home in Brentwood where he surrendered after a stand-off with police. It's like JFK or Princess Diana dying: almost everyone in the US old enough remembers where they were the day of the OJ Simpson white Bronco freeway chase. Twenty years later, it remains an iconic TV moment. Some 95 million Americans watched the slow-speed chase live on television, as the NFL megastar went on the run following the double murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman. The anniversary is being marked by a resurgence of memories of the cavalcade, and the trial which followed, the first followed by a mass international audience in real time. Simpson would be acquitted of the crimes on October 3, 1995. AFP PHOTO/MIKE NELSON
