At the end of a sensational trial, former football star O.J. Simpson is acquitted of the brutal 1994 double murder of his estranged wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. In the epic 252-day trial, Simpson’s “dream team” of lawyers employed creative and controversial methods to convince jurors that Simpson’s guilt had not been proved “beyond a reasonable doubt,” thus surmounting what the prosecution called a “mountain of evidence” implicating him as the murderer.
Orenthal James Simpson—a Heisman Trophy winner, star running back with the Buffalo Bills, and popular television personality—married Nicole Brown in 1985. He reportedly regularly abused his wife and in 1989 pleaded no contest to a charge of spousal battery. In 1992, she left him and filed for divorce. On the night of June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed and slashed to death in the front yard of Mrs. Simpson’s condominium in Brentwood, Los Angeles. By June 17, police had gathered enough evidence to charge O.J. Simpson with the murders.
Simpson had no alibi for the time frame of the murders. Some 40 minutes after the murders were committed, a limousine driver sent to take Simpson to the airport saw a man in dark clothing hurrying up the drive of his Rockingham estate. A few minutes later, Simpson spoke to the driver though the gate phone and let him in. During the previous 25 minutes, the driver had repeatedly called the house and received no answer.
A single leather glove found outside Simpson’s home matched a glove found at the crime scene. In preliminary DNA tests, blood found on the glove was shown to have come from Simpson and the two victims. After his arrest, further DNA tests would confirm this finding. Simpson had a wound on his hand, and his blood was a DNA match to drops found at the Brentwood crime scene. Nicole Brown Simpson’s blood was discovered on a pair of socks found at the Rockingham estate. Simpson had recently purchased a “Stiletto” knife of the type the coroner believed was used by the killer. Shoe prints in the blood at Brentwood matched Simpson’s shoe size and later were shown to match a type of shoe he had owned. Neither the knife nor shoes were found by police.
On June 17, a warrant was put out for Simpson’s arrest, but he refused to surrender. Just before 7 p.m., police located him in a white Ford Bronco being driven by his friend, former teammate Al Cowlings. Cowlings refused to pull over and told police over his cellular phone that Simpson was suicidal and had a gun to his head. Police agreed not to stop the vehicle by force, and a low-speed chase ensued. Los Angeles news helicopters learned of the event unfolding on their freeways, and live television coverage began.
As millions watched, the Bronco was escorted across Los Angeles by a phalanx of police cars. Just before 8 p.m., the dramatic journey ended when Cowlings pulled into the Rockingham estate. After an hour of tense negotiation, Simpson emerged from the vehicle and surrendered. In the vehicle was found a travel bag containing, among other things, Simpson’s passport, a disguise kit consisting of a fake moustache and beard, and a revolver. Three days later, Simpson appeared before a judge and pleaded not guilty.
Simpson’s subsequent criminal trial was a sensational media event of unprecedented proportions. It was the longest trial ever held in California, and courtroom television cameras captured the carnival-like atmosphere of the proceedings. The prosecution’s mountain of evidence was systemically called into doubt by Simpson’s team of expensive attorneys, who made the dramatic case that their client was framed by unscrupulous and racist police officers.
Citing the questionable character of detective Mark Fuhrman and alleged blunders in the police investigation, defense lawyers painted Simpson as yet another African American victim of the white judicial system. The jurors’ reasonable doubt grew when the defense spent weeks attacking the damning DNA evidence, arguing in overly technical terms that delays and other anomalies in the gathering of evidence called the findings into question. Critics of the trial accused Judge Lance Ito of losing control of his courtroom.
In polls, a majority of African Americans believed Simpson to be innocent of the crime, while white America was confident of his guilt. However, the jury–made up of nine African Americans, two whites, and one Hispanic–was not so divided; they took just four hours of deliberation to reach the verdict of not guilty on both murder charges. On October 3, 1995, an estimated 140 million Americans listened in on radio or watched on television as the verdict was delivered.
In February 1997, Simpson was found liable for several charges related to the murders in a civil trial and was forced to award $33.5 million in compensatory and punitive damages to the victims’ families. However, with few assets remaining after his long and costly legal battle, he has avoided paying the damages.
In 2007, Simpson ran into legal problems once again when he was arrested for breaking into a Las Vegas hotel room and taking sports memorabilia, which he claimed had been stolen from him, at gunpoint. On October 3, 2008, he was found guilty of 12 charges related to the incident, including armed robbery and kidnapping, and sentenced to 33 years in prison. He was released on parole on October 1, 2017.

The trial was a charade, notoriety and then the race card pulled the winning hand. Size 12 Bruno magli shoes, Motives were multiple. Nicole and Ron had no chance -assailant too big. No one else ever accused. The families never saw justice.
There’s a few reasons why OJ was acquitted…
I wasn’t because the Jury didn’t think he was not guilty.
The jury firmly believed he was in fact guilty.
The main reason why the jury found OJ not guilty was because they were held completely hostage, sequestered for a year in a cheesy hotel, hustled around by sherrif’s deputies who treated them like shit and then having to go to court day after day to listen to shysters drone on and on about fuk-tard’ legal points.
On top of that the goof-ball Jap judge conducted the the whole trial like a reality show, working short hours every day, halting the trial, not listening to jury complaints and so forth.
So when the case was put to them, they decided to fuck the system and shove the whole thing up the DA’s and judges ass… and they quickly came back with a not guilty verdict so they could go home for the weekend.
It was as simple as that.
The case could have been held in a Santa Monica court, but the DA decided to file it downtown and hold the trial in a main courtroom complex downtown…. this way a more “diverrrrrrse” set of jurors could be selected. Secondly they chose a third string of lawyers to prosecute the case, Marcia Clarke and a equal opportunity law school graduate who ran a fuked-up strategy.
This was all done to throw the case and at all costs avoid a guilty verdict. If a guilty verdict was handed down they knew for sure that riots would again break out across Los Angeles.
This is why things were done they way they were.
Finally… OJ was not alone that night. There was another man with him. A witness that was parked on a side street where the back alley intersected, saw two men (one of them OJ) exit the car and head for the back of Nicole’s condo. They are speculating that is was OJ’s son who was with him that night–and that OJ was covering up for his son’s involvement. OJ’s son may have been an active participant in the outright murder.
Detective Mark Fuhrman took the Fifth 3 times! After that the prosecution was dead in the water. The LA cops blew this case when they tried to frame a guilty man.
They couldn’t help it. Force of habit.
That above as well.
