Oj Simpson Research Paper

O.J Simpson should have been found guilty due to his violent actions on June 12th, 1994. There were many actions or causes that led up to his violent act. The main and most known cause of Simpson’s act was “infidelity”. Simpson’s wife Nicole Simpson had been spending too much time with a man by the name of Ronald Goldman. When O.J became suspicious, he took immediate action.

Simpson showed up at his first court appearance on June 21 and he pleaded not guilty to the two murders. A jury was formed right away to see if there was enough evidence to press charges on OJ Simpson. Two days later on June 23, the jury was dismissed because there was so much media coverage on this case and they did not want the jury to be influenced by it. The new jury was also likely to be influenced by the media. A week long hearing took place and finally a California court superior judge ruled that there was enough evidence to try OJ Simpson for the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ronald

The prosecution called 78 witnesses with Allan Park, O.J.’s limo driver, being the best witness they had placing O.J. within the timeline of the murders(Geis & Bienen, 2016). The crime happened sometime after 10 pm before O.J. had left for LAX to travel to Chicago for a business meeting(Geis & Bienen, 2016). Allan Park testified that he was at O.J. Simpson’s house and knocked on his door at 10:25 pm but there was no response(Geis & Bienen, 2016). Mr. Park stated he did not see O.J.’s white Bronco anywhere and assumed he was not home yet(Geis & Bienen, 2016). At 10:56 pm, Mr. Park saw O.J. enter the front of his home(Geis & Bienen, 2016). Mr. Park noticed O.J. was very anxious and was

"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?

Former NFL Star, Heisman trophy winner, Orenthal James Simpson, better known as O.J. Simpson, has a lengthy history of encounters with law enforcement. He was incarcerated when he was fifteen for gang related fighting (“O.J. Simpson” Contemporary). In 1989 he pleaded no contest to beating and threatening to kill Nicole Brown, his wife at the time, and faced minimal consequences (Mydens). In 1995, after a yearlong criminal trial, he was acquitted of the murder of Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, and later found liable for the murders in a civil case in 1997. His final account with the law, that defined his destiny, was in 2007 when he was arrested in Las Vegas on ten felony charges. The final case went to trial in 2008, when he was

This topic has been all over the news and all over social media. It has been announced that O.J Simpson has been released from prison. After serving nine years behind bars for armed robbery and kidnapping conviction. O.J is finally out of prison. Although he is out from prison, Simpson isn’t yet quite a free man.

Do you know what a unsolved mystery is it is a case or trial that has never been solved. Have you ever heard of oj simpson's case he was accused of murdering his ex wife nicole brown simpson and her friend. He also had ten other charges some were kidnaping and armed robbery. Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman were found dead in los angeles on June 12, 1994.

The next process in the Justice system, a Grand Jury indictment, was interrupted. OJ Simpson hired a top notch team of defense and appellate lawyers to defend him in this case and they were able to get the Grand Jury dismissed from this case due to the massive media coverage. They claimed that the jury was prejudiced toward the defendant because of the readily available information about the case. In lieu of the Grand Jury trial a probable cause hearing was conducted. With that, the judge in this hearing felt that enough evidence did exist for a criminal trial and OJ Simpson was arraigned on July 29th 1994. At his arraignment OJ pleaded not guilty, specifically stating that he was “one hundred percent not guilty”.

If I was a juror in the OJ Simpson case I believe I would find him not guilty. You would think all the blood evidence would be the strongest but it’s not. In both ways the blood evidence could find him guilty and not guilty. The blood evidence if it had been collected correctly would have given us great clues pointing us to the fact of if OJ had committed the crime. Since it was not done correctly the defense attorney(s) were able to disprove the evidence as not true. This is why the blood evidence is the strongest evidence but also not the strongest, it all depends on what verdict you believe OJ should have been found as.

After Simpson was found “not guilty” in the criminal case, the families of the deceased filed a civil lawsuit against him.  Simpson was obligated to testify during this trial and the proof stacked against him was enough to prove him liable.  The jury found him liable and awarded the families compensation for their losses.
