Did O. J. Simpson Really Do It?

O.J. Simpson should have been found guilty of murder because of evidence found before his trial. O.j. and Nicole married in 1985 and began their family by having their first child, Sydney and three years later, Justin. All seemed well in the relationship until family members and friends came out that O.J. has been abusing her all seven years of marriage (Noble). Nicole kept journal entries recording what she went through daily from mental and physical abuse to stalking. “Threw me on the floor hit me kicked me. We went to Sherry Land Hotel where he continued to beat me for hours as I kept crawling for the door” (Brown). Nicole called the police eight times, but O.J. was never actually arrested, only once. “She’s wearing nothing but a bra

In conclusion after reviewing the arguments on both sides, there is no way one can believe O.J. Simpson is innocent and did not kill Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown. As Vincent Bugliosi states, “When a person is innocent of a crime, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, chances are there is not going to be anything whatsoever pointing toward his guilt ... Not only does the physical, scientific evidence in this case conclusively prove this defendant's guilt, but virtually everything he said and did points irresistibly to his guilt“ (279). In the infamous Bronco chase, O.J. was to turn himself in by 10 a.m. on June 17, 1994 and never showed up. Police drove over to Simpson’s home sometime around 1 p.m. and he was nowhere to be found. There, they found

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 identity of the murderer was unknown up until O.J was suspected to be a suspect. When accused, he was in another state, and was forced to fly back. (Aaseng 1996)

The O.J. Simpson trial was one of the most recognizable cases in American History. It went on for 9 months. At 12:10 am on June 13, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were found murdered right outside of Bundy drive condo in Brentwood. Evidence found in the scene led the Police to suspect that O.J. Simpson was the murderer. Although the prosecution pointed to the evidence of the case Simpson lawyers argued that the police bungle the investigation and planted evidence. An examination of the case is that one of the policemen was racist and planted evidence in the scene to accuse O.J. Simpson of being the murderer.

At around 5:00am the detectives on the case arrive at O.J.’s home. The evidence found at the scene of the crime was a bloody glove and a dark grey knitted hat said to have been left by the killer, and bloody footprint in the driveway of O.J.’s estate. Immediately after O.J.’s flight lands in Chicago, Detective Ron Phillips informs him that his ex-wife is dead. O.J.’s first response: “Who killed her?”

Imagine a police chase being broadcasted on tv for millions of people to see, a man who is running now with a gun, money, and a disguise less than twenty four hours after his ex wife and new lover were murdered. Now he is being arrested and tried with their murders and against all evidence pointing towards the rest of his life in prison, he is released after 16 months of awaiting a verdict. Well this isn’t a soap opera and that isn’t Sonny Corinthos, that is your favorite athlete, former heisman trophy winner and celebrity, Oj Simpson. On October 3rd 1995, Oj Simpson was found innocent of killing Nicole Simpson and her believed lover Ron Goldman in one of the most controversial and corrupt court cases ever. Many people

Durning the case, much of the DNA evidence found on scene traced back to O.J Simpson. On scene there was a glove found that matched the glove found in O.J Simpsons yard. Robitaille states that the glove was huge evidence, “One dark, cashmere-lined Aris Light leather glove, size extra large, was found at the murder scene,

O.J could of used this “Knife” to kill Brown and Goldman. Jeffrey Toobin who wrote a book about the O.J trial said, “A construction worker had found the knife while helping to raze O. J. Simpson’s former home in Brentwood” The O.J Simpson case. The construction worker could of forged the knife and said it was found at the house when it was not, or it could be real the police have to find a reason that it is legit. In the few days Simpson reportedly bought a knife before the murders of Brown and Goldman. Martha Ross from Mercury news said, “Murder weapon was a 15-inch knife with a retractable blade that Simpson purchased at a downtown Los Angeles shop” Samantha Ross. He could of just bought the knife for fun or to murder them, people really dont think so because there was no evidence of O.J having the knife. However the knife that was found by a construction worker could be a hoax but until the police find real evidence Simpson is

According the law.umkc the day of the murder Simpson’s limo driver, Allan Park, went to pick him up, but when he buzzed through the intercom to let him know he was there, there was no response. Minutes later Park spotted Simpson’s Bronco at an intersection. Simpson then later went into his house through a back gate, then answered the door and supposedly said he was sleeping. Simpson’s blood was found on the driver’s door of the Bronco, and Goldman and Brown’s blood were found on the passenger side. Bloody socks were found in Simpson’s house by his bed. In court Simpson claimed that the bloody gloves were not his, so he had to try them on and they did not fit. However; a receipt was found that Brown purchased those gloves for Simpson years back. The footprints found at the scene were from a pair of Bruno Magil shoes in a size 12. Simpson wears a size 12. He claimed that he did not own a pair of the Bruno Magil shoes, but a photo from 1993 shows him wearing those shoes that match the ones at the murder scene. In Simpson’s book “If I Did It” he pretty much confesses that he did it. One of leading phrases he said was “Then something horribly went wrong, and I know what happened, but I can't tell you

On June 13, 1994, bodies of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman were found at Nicole’s apartment in Los Angeles. The police arrived, investigated and fairly fast looked at Nicole Brown's ex husband who is O.J. Simpson, the football star, as a suspect for the murders. Four days later an arrest warrant was made out, and this lead to the famous television live breaking news that O.J. Simpson was leading police on a slow chase in his white Ford Bronco, and later his arrest. Millions of people watched this. On July 8, 1994, there was the first hearing that decided if there was enough evidence to proceed with the trial. It was decided there was enough evidence. The process of selection started in September and completed in November. The jury was sequestered in the middle of

"You never know someone until you've seen them behind closed doors". Orenthal O.J. Simpson lived a rough life growing but, instead of that taking over his life he decided to make a change by becoming a football hall of fame, actress/tv star and later being turned to a serial killer. Was the killing done out of love or spight? Or did he even do it?

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

The murders occurred between 10:15 p.m. and 10:40 p.m., this is based on testimony from prosecution and defense witnesses who heard barking from the area of the crime scene. Ms. Simpson's blood-covered pet Akita was found

It is difficult to believe that O.J. Simpson was once a respected and celebrated professional football player, sports commentator, and actor. However, his image was irrevocably shattered on June 17, 1994 when Simpson was involved in a car chase that lasted about an hour on California's I-405 (O.J. Simpson leads L.A. police on a high-speed chase, 2013). Dubbed the "Crime of the Century," O.J. Simpson's trial was a media circus and was sensationalized for a number of reasons including Simpson's status as a celebrity, the mishandling of evidence, and the issue of race.
