One of my second grade teacher's friends (or neighbors) walked up to the school gate and told her and a group of nearby students about the verdict. I didn't understand the fuss because I only knew OJ from his appearances in The Naked Gun films. I also have this eerily-clear memory of shopping for a Halloween costume…
