8. Well, I think the trial was how the dad became famous outside of L.A.,

but I'm no expert on the subject. Papa Kardashian was one of O.J's attorneys and apparently the two families socialized together. Nicole Brown Simpson and Kris Jenner were close friends, but the Kardashian clown show wasn't a "thing" yet. That happened years later when Kim Kardashian launched her career as a celebutante with a "leaked" sex tape, following the lead of Paris Hilton a few years earlier. Or at least that's my impression. They were interviewing Kris Jenner in a CNN feature about the murder and trial a couple of nights ago.
