ANNOUNCER: Bringing you the world for 20 years, this is CNN.</s>VERONICA MCGREGOR, LOS ANGELES PRODUCER: One of the most difficult things of covering this case was that we were not going to have a camera in the courtroom. So we actually were listening for the verdict both in the courtroom and in this listening room which was set up in the hotel across the street. So it was a matter of listening to the verdict and then running out of that room and getting the word to a reporter.</s>GREG LAMOTTE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We understand that the jury is in the midst of announcing some verdicts.</s>MCGREGOR: We were waiting for the verdict, and this was the time when all the journalists basically do nothing but sit next to their phone or sit in the pressroom. That night was also the State of the Union address, and everyone wondered which way our news organizations would go in terms of coverage.</s>LAMOTTE: As I understand it now, CNN is joining us. I will tell you again that the jury has found, the six women, six men, has found that O.J. Simpson did willfully and wrongfully cause the death of Ron Goldman.</s>MCGREGOR: Once that verdict was read and it was a yes, that they did find O.J. Simpson liable in the killings, it -- there were hundreds of people outside the courthouse again and it really became a celebration for that family.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Today is two-and-a-half years, a little over two-and-a-half years, and we finally have justice for Ron and Nicole.
