Even after all these years the images of the verdict, some of the most famous moments ever broadcast, still haunt the Goldmans. Fred Goldman remembers the faces and the photos from that day.
"Seeing the killer with that look on his face, seeing [the late defense attorney Robert] Kardashian - I think - shocked that he was found not guilty and seeing us, our family in horror and shock," Fred Goldman said. There is an infamous image of Kim Goldman, Ron's sister, bent over and weeping with her father after the verdict.
"Whenever I see that picture, it's almost like an out-of-body experience. I feel very sad for those two people sitting in the courtroom," Kim Goldman said. Then there is a moment when she and her father look at the photo and realize with shock that it is them.
"And so, it's very bizarre," she said.
Though cleared of murder charges, Simpson was found guilty in a wrongful death civil suit, and ordered to pay $33.5 million to the plaintiff families. Fred Goldman said that Simpson has not paid a penny.
He lives on a $25,000-a-month pension set up during his football days - a pension that is untouchable by the courts.
