VIDEOImagine spending over forty years of your life in the news business, including anchoring ABC World News Tonight for twenty years, yet the thing you are best remembered for is being easily pranked on live TV. Such was the sad yet hilarious fate of Peter Jennings who in 1994 got pranked at the tail end of OJ Simpson's infamous slow speed White Bronco chase. If the absurd voice of the pranker didn't immediately set off alarm bells for any normal person then the final "BABA BOOEY!" would have revealed the caller as a Howard Stern fan. Poor Peter didn't have...

A quarter of a century is long enough to heal most wounds. But, for two members of the prosecution, their failure to secure a conviction against the man they believe to be responsible, the pain of that loss feels as fresh as it did the day a jury announced O.J. Simpson was not guilty of murder.“Time doesn’t heal much of anything,” Christopher Darden said Saturday at the 2019 CrimeCon in New Orleans. Darden worked for the Los...
