OJ Simpson Marcia Clark Bill Hodgman Collapse

(Spoiler alert: Please don’t read on if you haven’t watched Tuesday’s episode of “The People v. O.J. Simpson”)

In one of the most dramatic moments of the fifth episode of “The People v. O.J. Simpson,” prosecutor Bill Hodgman becomes extremely flustered during an argument with the defense team, collapses, and is taken from the courtroom in a stretcher.

Did it really happen? No. But something similar did. Welcome back to the O.J. Fact Check.

Today’s question:
