Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

In the closing arguments in the wrongful death case against OJ Simpson, lawyer Daniel Petrocelli pointed at the former football star and told jurors: "There's a killer in this courtroom."

"That's the man who attacked them, confronted them and who killed them."

Mr Petrocelli raised images of blood, gloves and shoes that he said were indisputable proof that Mr Simpson killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Mr Simpson was acquitted of murder in 1995. He is being sued for damages by the victims' relatives, who believe he is the killer.

"Did Mr Simpson explain why his blood and DNA were found next to the victims?" Mr Petrocelli asked. "Did he explain why his glove was found? Not one word." AP - Santa Monica, California
