  • Why the Inimitable Sarah Paulson Is the Future Of
    he won an Emmy, SAG Award and Golden Globe for her bravura performance as Marcia Clark in last year’s FX miniseries, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, but it took Sarah Paulson almost another year to confirm what the TV industry really thinks about her acting chops. Earlier this year, her longtime collaborator and O.J. executive producer Ryan Murphy offered the actress the lead in Ratched, an origin story he is executive producing that focuses on Nurse Ratched, the Siconic, sadistic nurse from the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Murphy shopped the project around to networks, offering a package for the first time that included his frequent muse Paulson attached as star and producer. “That was very exciting and also very scary, because I thought, oh God, what if they take this out, and people are like, ‘No thanks, we’re good. We don’t need a Sarah Paulson show,’” says Paulson. “Thankfully, it all worked out very well.” In the wake of last year’s most acclaimed TV performance, everyone—TV networks and movie studios alike—wants to be in business with Paulson. Ratched sparked a high-stakes bidding war, with Netflix ultimately fending off suitors like Hulu and Apple (which is developing an original TV series strategy) for the project last month, giving the drama a hefty Why the inimitable two-season commitment. And that is only one of three high- profile TV series that Paulson will film over the next year. In Sarah Paulson is the 2018, she’ll begin production on Katrina, the third installment in Murphy’s American Crime Story anthology series for FX, and continue on the other Murphy FX anthology hit that future of TV.

    CJ211: Criminal Investigation OJ Simpson Case Case Study: Physical Evidence INTRODUCTION: On Sunday, June 12, 1994, just Before 11:00PM Steven SchwaB was walking his dog in the Brentwood section of northwest Los Angeles when he was confronted by an excited and agitated dog, an Akita. As the dog followed Steven home, he noticed what appeared to be blood on the dog’s paws and belly. When Steven arrived home, the dog still behaved in an unusual manner. Steven alerted his neighBor, Sukru Boztepe, and asked if he could keep the dog until the morning when Steven would search for the dog’s owner. Boztepe initially agreed but then decided to take the dog for a walk and see if he could find its owner. He proceeded to follow the dog and it took him to the front walkway of 875 South Bundy Drive. As Boztepe looked up the dark walkway, he saw what appeared to be a lifeless human body surrounded By a massive amount of Blood. At 12:13AM the first police officers arrived at the scene. Officers found the body of a woman clad in a short black dress. She was Barefoot and lying face down with wounds to her throat and neck area. Next to her was the body of a man. He was lying on his side and his clothes were also saturated with Blood. The woman was quickly identified By the police as the owner of the house, Nicole Brown Simpson, thirty-five years old and the ex-wife of pro football player and sportscaster O.J.
