It's my understanding that most trials are over in a week.
Are murder trials typically much longer, or was OJ Simpson's case very unusual (aside from the publicity)?
Do trials essentially last as long as the financial resources of the sides, or was OJ's case particularly complex?

That's just how long each side took. It doesn't have to be one set amount of time.

Because both sides had lots and lots of lawyers and his were billing by the hour.

While trials don't have a set time, generally the length of a trial is based on its complexity (and to a certain degree, also the gravity of the charge). Simpler cases (e.g. breaking and entering) will generally take less time to hear than more complex cases (e.g. a violation of proper calculation procedure of an SEC mandated income report concerning transfers of capital accrued by partially owned subsidiaries).
For example, last year I was called to jury selection for a drunk driving case that was estimated to last 2 days; this year, I was called for jury selection, which took over a week before I was dismissed as a potential jury, for a murder trial that was estimated to last over a month.
However, I'm sure that OJ's celebrity did play a role in the length of his trial; if nothing else, then it would have lengthened the jury selection and voir dire process significantly.

As for the financial part, it does not have to depend solely on that, but obviously, people don't want to spend a lot if they do not have to so they would not drag it on.
