Oj Simpson Murder

Simpson is guilty and it was not easy to prove in a courtroom, because evidence was tampered with, improperly accumulated, and not all of it was collected. Employees of the crime lab admitted to errors that took place when collecting, and storing evidence from the crime. I also feel that if the juror panel were selected in Santa Monica, where the crime took place, a very different judgment and verdict would be made. Simpson’s jury panel was selected from Downtown Los Angeles. Selecting a jury panel from Downtown Los Angeles led to a significantly different demographic of people selected to be on the panel, than residents of Santa Monica. Selecting a jury panel from Santa Monica would have led to a much different group of individuals, with an advanced level of education. I believe many oversights were made in the case and if it were handled appropriately, O.J. Simpson would’ve been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Many Factors led to a poorly situated case for the persecution, and the selected jury

Exactly what happened sometime after ten o 'clock on the Sunday night of June 12, 1994 is still disputed, but most likely a single male came through the back entrance of Nicole Brown Simpson 's

A 32-year-old sex offender lived in Boulder, Colorado named Gary Oivia. when JonBenét was found strangled to death it looked like what looked liked sexual assault, proven by the droplet of blood on her underwear. The convicted pedophile had been living in the area periodically when police reportedly found a magazine cutout of JonBenét Ramsey in his backpack after he was arrested on drug charges in 2000. He was soon released, but suspicions remained. (1)

To understand the evidence you must first understand what occurred in these murders. The O. J. Simpson murder case (officially the People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson) was a criminal trial held at the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California. The trial spanned from the jury 's swearing-in on November 2, 1994, to opening statements on January 24, 1995, to a verdict on October 3, 1995. The former professional football star and actor O. J. Simpson was tried on two counts of murder after the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and waiter Ronald Lyle Goldman, in June 1994 (Simpson). The case has been described as the most publicized criminal trial in American history (USA Today) Simpson was acquitted after a trial that lasted more than eight months (Turow). The article on PBS titled “The O.J.Verdict”, discusses the fact that Simpson was found not guilty due to weak execution by the

On the morning of Monday, June 13, 1994, investigators found the dead bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. They were brutally slashed the night before. This caused a lot of news coverage because of who Nicole Simpson was. She was married to a O.J. Simpson, a famous football player and celebrity. From the start, many people suspected O.J. for the murders because O.J. and Nicole recently separated. So theorists asserted that when Nicole started hanging out with Ronald, it caught the eye of O.J. Critics said that O.J. killed the two out of anger and jealousy. At the same time, O.J. had many other people supporting him and believed that he was not a suspect. Even today people still argue about this case and its mystery.

This trial began on January 25, 1995. The lead prosecutor, Marcia Clark, argued that Simpson killed his ex-wife in a despite of jealousy. The prosecution opened its case by playing a 911 call from Nicole Brown Simpson had made on January 1, 1989, which she expressed fear that Simpson would physically harm her (Bosco 7). The prosecution also presented dozens of expert witnesses the ranged on topics from DNA fingerprinting to shoe print analysis. Also what they concluded placed Simpson at the scene of the crime. A limousine driver, Allan Park, who was to drive Simpson to the LAX airport said that he could not contact anyone through the intercom at Simpson 's gate when he arrived at 10:35 p.m. Around 10:50, he saw a large figure enter the house, some lights came on, and Simpson answered the gate 's intercom. They then loaded some bags into the limo and left for the airport at 11:15 (Jones 9). He also stated that he did see a parked vehicle when they pulled away but he wasn’t sure. His testimony was rejected due to the fact of his uncertainty regarding the parked vehicle.

On the other side, was the lead prosecutor by the name of Marcia Clark. She was ridiculed, especially by men during this case. Her experience during this case led her towards writing a book. She had to much confidence in herself. She knew that the evidence would prove her case however, it did not. She underestimated Oj Simpson celebrity status and how he used his race to manipulate the jury. During the trail citizens felt that she was incompetent and her

On 13 June, 1994, the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were discovered in the front courtyard of Brown’s apartment. Both were stabbed to death before midnight on 12 June 1994. Brown had been stabbed multiple times in the head and neck with defence wounds on her hands. Evidence found and collected at the scene and at Brown’s ex-husband, Orenthal James (OJ) Simpson’s home, led police to suspect that Simpson was the murderer (People v. Simpson, 1995, 85; 86A; 102A; 112A).

I feel that the sports media selected to focus on O.J. Simpson instead of other major milestones because at that time, O.J. Simpson was and still is considered one of the best running backs to ever play in the NFL. Even after football, O.J. was still a superstar was in many different movies and TV shows and had endorsement deals, so the media knew exactly the type of figure and role model he was so they wanted to broadcast what many people would have considered the unexpected. I feel that the media knew exactly what they was doing when they broke into other major sports events because they knew the car chase was either going to get people mad or make them interested but either way it was going to get the viewer’s attention. The major sporting

He played college football, and won the Heisman trophy, Simpson, also played in the N.F.L as a running back, this intern led to Professional football where he joined the buffalo Bills in 1969. O.J. was called the juice, and was known for his great attributes in sports. Later into his life he met, and married his second wife Nicole Simpson. They had two children together. It seem that not was all paradise in their marriage, Nicole told her friends that O.J. was abusive, and this eventually led to a divorce.

The O.J. Simpson trial was an emotional, time consuming, battle where one side consisted of the families of two murdered people, and the other of a famous athlete and actor alongside his defense team, that kept the world glued to their seats in front of their television screen. I believe that there was no justice in this case. Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman lost their lives and no one was put in prison to pay for these murders, yes, Simpson had to pay a large sum of money to the families of these two victims, but was the money really enough?

The prosecution built their case against Simpson with various incriminating bits of evidence. This evidence included 85 pages documenting 50 domestic violence incidents over the course of 17 years were presented (CORA, 2015). The strategy of the prosecutors was to demonstrate that the murders were a logical culmination of increasingly abusive, obsessive behavior (Noble, 1995). This evidence did not match up with the crime, according to an interview from Time in which Rita Smith, the Executive Director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence during the time of the murders. Smith suggested that jurors asked, “Why were they talking about domestic violence when this is a murder trial?” (Alter, 2014). During this time, the connection between domestic violence and murder was not seen as a realistic outcome. During the trial, prosecutors and domestic violence organizations were struggling to promote a general understanding of domestic violence to the public (Alter, 2014).

The People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime story is a very popular show in our pop culture. Although the show is based on the real life events that occurred back in 1994 when O.J. Simpson was accused for the murders of his ex wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. In 1995 he was trialed and acquitted of both murders. The series recreates what they called the, ‘trail of the century’. The O.J. Simpson was one of the few famous trials that were televised. The actors and actresses that play the roles of the prosecution team, as well as the defense team go based on what occurred, although they strip up drama and intense to keep it entertaining for their viewers.

People all over the world know O.J. Simpson, because he was arrested and trialed for the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson his former wife, and Ronald Goldman the friend of his former wife. The murder trial took place in 1994, and the verdict of the court was that, he was not guilty. There were marital problems between O.J. Simpson and his former wife, and at some point, his wife complained to family members and friends about their marriage. She complained of being physically abused and frequently beaten by O.J. Simpson, though he persistently denied ever abusing her.

The trial began on January 24, 1995. Los Angeles County prosecutor Christopher Darden argued that Simpson killed his ex-wife in a jealous rage. They played a 9-1-1 call that Nicole had made on January 1, 1989. During this call she expressed fear that Simpson would physically harm her and he could be heard yelling at her in the background. The prosecution focused on establishing the long history of domestic violence between Nicole and Simpson, presenting evidence that Simpson had physically abused Nicole. Deaths steaming from domestic violence are the result of accumulated acts of violence that escalate rather than once incident of situational rage. It is commonly associated with long-term abuse. Nicole reportedly told friends and family that she was afraid of Simpson and that he was stalking her in the months before her death. The couple were in a period of marital estrangement. They had a history of breaking up and getting back together but according to friends and family Nicole was tired of the abuse and was not going to date Simpson anymore. Simpson also had a history of domestic violence noted by prior police involvement at the Simpson home when the couple was married. Simpson displayed signs that the was extremely jealous reportedly telling Nicole he would kill her if she was with another man. The couple showed many signs of escalating violence that would eventually lead to the death of the victim.
