It was then that police were called to the home and evidence started to be collected. Due to Mr. and Mrs. Simpson’s previous police record of domestic violence calls, we were in desperate need to talk to Mr. Simpson. We called Mr. Simpson shortly after he arrived at his hotel in Chicago. When we informed him of the murder of his wife, Simpson acted surprisingly calm and collected. He never asked how, where, or if there are any suspects. During his interrogation, when we asked about a cut on his hand, he claimed the cut was from golfing and that he reopened it when he smashed some glass in his hotel room (Linder). He boarded the first plane back to Los Angeles, that’s when he found us at his home conducting a full scale investigation. After we obtained enough evidence, we released a warrant for the arrest of Orenthal James Simpson. After searching the homes of O.J. Simpson and Nicole Simpson we came up with much evidence to use in prosecuting O.J. Simpson. First off, the previous history of violence in the Simpson home was considered evidence. On October 25th, 1993, Nicole called 9-1-1 asking for someone to be sent to her home, because O.J. had broken in and was violently yelling at her and banging on her bedroom door. But this was not the first case of domestic violence in their home. On January 1st, 1989, police were called to Simpson’s Rockingham address where Nicole was claiming that O.J. was saying to Nicole
Nicole’s wounds were so severe that she bled out not long after the attack (Birnkworth). Goldman went to Nicole’s house to deliver some eyeglasses Nicole’s mother had forgotten at Mezzaluna, which is where Ronald worked (Mueller).

Therefore, Ronald Goldman is considered an accidental murder victim (Bensons). Goldman fought for himself and Nicole, he put up a strong fight (Birnkworth). Nicole on the other hand, went down quickly (Birnkworth). Plenty of evidence was found at the crime scene. A left bloody glove, footprints, five drops of blood that wasn’t either of the victims,
Nicole had been stabbed numerous times in the head and neck, there were also defensive wounds found on her hands. In the article, “O.J. Simpson crime scene photos: Warning Graphic Images ” an autopsy report revealed how Nicole and her friend Ronald’s bodies were found. In the article it states that Nicole , “...had an incised wound of neck... Incisions, left and right internal jugular veins. Transection of thyrohyoid membrane epiglottis, and hypopharynx. Incision into cervical spine. Multiple stab wounds of neck and scalp (total of 7)... injuries of hands, including incised wound, right finger of right hand (defensive wounds). Scalp bruise, right parietal.” The article also described Ronald’s body: “...found with a sharp force wound of neck,
was charged with was Count 4: Burglary while in possession of a deadly weapon. I as a prosecutor in the State of Texas would not have charged him with that. Simpson was not in charge of the firearm. Charge 2 and 3 are Assault with a deadly weapon against Bruce and Alfred. I would not have charged him with those two charges either. One charge would have been Burglary of a Habitation. (Assault with a deadly weapon, Sec. 30.05 Criminal Trespass, Texas Penal Code). One charge is a Coercion, which is a threat, however communicated to commit an offense.
