Eddie Aspuru Professor Gamez CJE 2600 12 May 2015 Most crimes now-a-days just get swept under the rug. Unless there is public outcry or the media decides that it can benefit their company.

O.J. was charged with both their deaths, he later would be acquitted of all charges. His lawyer was Robert Kardashian the father of Kim Kardashian. O.J. Simpson’s life began on …show more content…
Where did this happen? At the condo of O.J.’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. Who did it? Her ex-husband O.J. Simpson was accused of criminal homicide or capital murder. What happened? Nicole Brown Simpson and her co-worker Ronald Goldman. Investigators don’t know you could say it was out anger, or hate for Nicole divorcing O.J. Just a few minutes after midnight on June 12, 1994. Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found brutally murdered in front of Nicole’s condo in Brentwood, California. The scene is extremely gruesome and from pictures that are shown was a crime completely out of rage no if and or buts about it. Here is a very in-depth timeline of the events leading up to the murder being discovered. Nicole Brown Simpson along with friends and family go out to dinner at a restaurant named Mezzaluna around six thirty pm. They finish their meal at 8 pm. Nicole’s mother leaves her glasses at the restaurant and Mr. Goldman offers to go pick them up. Sometime between nine and nine thirty pm O.J. and Brian Kaelin a friend staying at his guest house go to eat dinner at Mc Donald’s. They eat rather quickly and are back at the Simpson Residence at nine forty-five pm. Sometime between finishing dinner with Simpson and returning the glasses Nicole wanted back; Goldman arrives at her apartment.

The book that I am going to introduce is Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O.J. Got Away With Murder, written by Vincent Bugliosi, and was published on June 17, 1996. We all know that Nichole Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death and their bodies were discovered on June 12, 1994 early morning. It was said that after a car chase, O.J. was found with $9,000 I cash, his passport, disguise, and a gun. O.J. Simpson who is her ex-husband was acquitted October 3, 1995, for their deaths in a trial that riveted the nation and divided people along racial differences. In 1997, he was ordered to pay a little over $33 million for their deaths. O.J. Simpson is still serving time in prison for things like kidnapping, robbery, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, and numerous other charges. Mr. Bugliosi sums up five reason why the case was lost. Those five can be labeled as the jury, the change in venue or settings, the judge allowing the defense to play the race card, the stupidity of the prosecution throughout the trial, and lastly the summation of what should really have been done. But in honesty when the media started reporting about this case it was already falling apart.
On June 12th, 1994, Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman’s bodies were found Nicole’s condominium; the victims had been stabbed to death.

The case of Tomahl Cook vs. The State of New Jersey was a very grusome study in the tragedy of Katrina Suhan. Katrina was murdered February 14, 1998 in Old Bridge, New Jersey. She was only 15 years when she was brutally murdered by a cold-hearted ruthless murderer. Katrina 's life was taken away from her at such a young age due to a sick human being.
White was found by Michael White’s search team on the side of the road less than 10 minutes from the family’s house and he was charged for second degree murder the next day (Harding & Shaw, 2005, Timeline of Events,
On the late evening of June 12th, 1994, a fellow Brentwood neighbor went to investigate why a nearby dog was constantly howling when they discovered the grisly murder scene(Geis & Bienen, 2016). The victims, 35-year-old Nicole Brown Simpson and 25-year-old Ronald Goldman, were violently stabbed to death with a knife in the walkway of Nicole’s home(Geis & Bienen, 2016).

Jodi Arias was charged with murdering her ex-boyfriend in 2008. Five days after he was murdered his body was found in the shower of his Arizona home by friends on June 9, 2008. He had been shot in the head and stabbed more than two dozen times, and his throat had been slit from ear to ear.
They gathered enough evidence to charge him with two counts of first-degree murder. The prosecution, therefore, had to prove that O.J knowingly caused the demise of both Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. Simpson’s house guest was recorded saying that he saw O.J Simpson, shortly after the murder, being pulled up in his white Bronco. Moreover, the limo driver stated that he waited for him for fifteen minutes before driving him to the airport. Interestingly, the times given by the witnesses coincided with suspected murder time proving that Simpson actually had planned the crime. His alibi was also precarious. He also had a record of spousal abuse. All evidence was against him and after the police established all crime elements, Simpson was charged
Fred_627 @Emily15: You and many others are so easily blinded by what the media says or writes. I think the main reason as to why is the media’s diction. You hear “model” and instantly adore whoever they are talking about but the second that word is changed to “obedient” or even “good” and the meaning is altered. “Good” is subjective and it doesn’t give much support or information about his actions his prison. “Obedient” just tells you something that O.J. had to be in prison or else he gets disciplined. “Model” on the other hand makes O.J. Simpson sound like an angel that has done no wrong in his entire sentence or even his entire life. The media just sugar coats everything. The incompetent people of this world must have millions of cavities if they listen to every word the media feeds them. I’m in shock myself. How can people be so ignorant
A crime being committed is the first event to initiate our criminal justice system. On June 12th 1994 a double murder was reported at the residence of Nicole Brown Simpson the ex-wife of the then beloved Orenthal James (OJ) Simpson. It was discovered that Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman had been brutally murdered and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) began their investigation, this being the second step in our criminal justice system.
On June 12, 1994, Former American football star O.J. Simpson (Orenthal James Simpson) was arrested for the brutal murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in their Brent-wood townhouse. Police reports indicate that Nicole and Ronald where both repeatedly stabbed to death. O.J. served 473 days in custody for these two murders, won his criminal trial which was the lengthiest in the U.S. legal history showing more than 50,000 transcript pages, and after all of this he pleaded 100% not guilty, walking away from all this with no scratch in his name.
Through mistakes made within the investigative process of the case, the outcome of the case was affected. On the collection of evidence many pieces were contaminated causing flaws in this evidence. When packaging blood swabs the cotton swatches used were packed in plastic bags and then left in a hot truck. This blood was also contaminated as the technician who handled it still had the blood voluntarily given by Simpson on his gloves (Jones, 2009). Degradation of missed blood, which was left for three weeks after the initial run through, may have turned unusable by the time investigators examined it. It was weeks after finding the socks at O.J. Simpson’s house that the police noted the blood on them. Destruction of evidence may have been caused through the bodies not being taken to be autopsied till 10 hours after they were found. During evidence collection the majority was compiled by a Junior Detective, who was taped dropping blood swabs as well as wiping tweezers with dirty hands, this made the evidence highly contaminated (Deutsch, 1995). To conceal the body of Nicole Simpson a police officer place a blanket over the body, this was done to
