I had just finished third grade when this happened. I was hit by a car the last week of school and was in a full body cast that went from my rib cage down my left leg to my foot. I watched the chase on tv and the subsequent trial while I healed. I had no frame of reference at the time but damned if the trial didn't happen pretty quickly after the event. The chase itself was on just about every channel of network tv from what I remember. Formative memory.
