Marcia Clark – lead prosecutor in OJ Simpson trial – is seen for the FIRST time since The Juice’s death

The lead prosecutor in the OJ Simpson murder trial has been seen for the first time since the NFL star’s death last week.

DailyMail.com spotted Marcia Clark, 70, taking out the trash outside her Los Angeles home on Thursday.

Gone were her trademark permed curls and short ’90s haircut, and in their place Clark sported straight, shoulder-length hair.

Wearing a black sweatshirt, sweatpants and a wool sweater, the former California prosecutor was unrecognizable from her days during the trial that thrust her into the national spotlight.

Clark led the failed prosecution team that tried OJ for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, who were found stabbed to death in 1994 in Nicole’s Los Angeles home.

While several moments from the 11-month trial captivated the nation, it was Clark’s makeover in the fall of 1994 that made headlines.

The prosecutor had been contacted by Allen Edwards, a Beverly Hills hairstylist, after he saw her at the preliminary hearing in the case saying she wanted to offer her services.

When she arrived at his salon, he cut her permed hair, which was shoulder-length at the time, to her chin and gave her another perm.

It’s been 30 years since the infamous haircut and Clark is still ridiculed for the look.

That cut, along with her change in clothing and general demeanor, would later be replaced with straight hair as part of a makeover Clark voluntarily underwent to help her appeal to jurors and the public during the trial.

The image change occurred in April 1995 during the trial and received a very positive reaction from both the press and the public.

It was redesigned by Allen, and the Los Angeles Times he wrote at that time; ‘Clark almost looked like Sigourney Weaver, only more professional.

‘Applause broke out among people waiting to enter the courtroom, including some journalists, as Clark passed. “Get a life,” laughed Clark, who pleased his admirers with a little pirouette.

Edwards, who not only cut her hair but also dyed it an auburn shade, said; ‘I had the feeling that people would react strongly. But not like that. It’s just huge.’

Then he added: “We can only curl for a limited time and we both get tired.” It’s her.’

Clark, however, told a somewhat different version of events in an interview with Fashion, said; ‘What happened was the perm grew out and I didn’t have time to get the perm done again, so I gave up. I just turned it off.

“I know this is going to seem disorienting to you, but at the time I thought, Oh, people aren’t going to notice.”

She also said; ‘The funniest thing for me was when they said I’d had a makeover. A makeover! Are you kidding! And I still look like this? That is the worst makeover I have ever seen in my life.

‘It consisted of a concealer pencil that a friend of mine gave me, saying: “The bags under your eyes are ridiculous.” You have to do something.”‘

OJ died last week in Las Vegas at the age of 76 after a brief battle with prostate cancer.

Although he was cleared of murder charges, he was found liable in civil court for $33.5 million for the deaths of Goldman and Brown.

After the trial that made her famous, Clark resigned from the Los Angeles district attorney’s office and wrote a book, No Doubt About It. The deal was reportedly worth $4.2 million.

He has appeared on several occasions as a special correspondent on Entertainment Tonight, commenting on high-profile trials and even conducting red carpet interviews.

She wrote the Samantha Brinkman book series about a defense attorney and in 2018 had a show on A&E called Marcia Clark Investigates the First 48 about famous murder trials.

DailyMail.com revealed last week that OJ died owing the Brown and Goldman families more than $100 million.

The Goldman family has been chasing mounting debt since 1997 and will now turn to Simpson’s estate to secure the funds.
