Extra Time: John Johnson reflects on OJ Simpson's legacy
The death of OJ Simpson has prompted widespread reaction on his complicated legacy, that included superstardom and a controversial murder trial.

From fame to a spectacular fall from grace, there is no story in American history quite like OJ Simpson's.

He went from one of the most popular figures in America, to one of the most polarizing, all because of one of the most high-profile murder cases in history.

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we have reaction and reflection on Simpson's life and legacy in the wake of his death.

Former Eyewitness News reporter John Johnson covered the trial of OJ Simpson every step of the way.

He joined Bill Ritter on Extra Time to talk more about the life of a very controversial man.
