Now there’s one book I can’t wait to read If I did It by O.J Simpson can you believe this. With the case being well over 10 years ago now and me being 9 or 8 at the time I couldn’t really remember much about what went on. Well after reading the reliable source of wikipedia
I think I have finally got my head around it.
First off I want to bring up the evidence against OJ (wikipedia) that he did murder his ex wife and her male friend.
- DNA analysis of the blood found in, on, and near Simpson’s car revealed traces of Simpson’s, Nicole’s, and Ronald Goldman’s blood.
- DNA analysis of bloody socks found in Simpson’s bedroom were proven to be Nicole’s blood.
- Simpson’s hair was found on Goldman’s shirt even though Simpson claimed not to have been at the home and never to have met Goldman.
- DNA analysis of blood on the gloves was proven to be a mixture of Simpson’s, Nicole’s, and Ronald Goldman’s. The gloves also contained particles of Goldman’s hair and carpet fibers from Simpson’s Bronco.
- Arrest records indicate that Simpson had been charged with the beating of his wife Nicole. Photos of Nicole’s bruised and battered face emerged. Simpson was sentenced to 3 years of community service for the crime.
- Police discovered that the dome light in the Bronco had been removed. A search of the vehicle revealed the light was carefully placed under the passenger seat and was in good working condition. Puzzling blood smears on the passenger floorboard indicated that Simpson may have purposely removed the light and placed it under the seat before the murders (assuming he had indeed murdered Brown Simpson and Goldman). Then after the murders he may have unsuccessfully tried to find it to put it back in the socket. Police on stakeouts routinely remove the dome lights from their vehicles to avoid detection when the car doors are opened.
- It was discovered that one set of keys to Nicole Brown Simpson’s home were missing. She had indicated to several family members and friends that she feared Simpson had stolen them to gain entry into her home. The keys were later found in Simpson’s home.
- Paula Barbieri indicated that she had broken up with Simpson the day of the murders. She indicated he seemed very disturbed at the news. Phone records proved that Simpson attempted to contact her shortly before the murders from his Bronco’s cellular phone.
- The left-hand glove found at Nicole’s home and the right-hand glove found at OJ’s home proved to be a match. They were also proven to be Simpson’s size. Even though Simpson claimed under oath that he did not own a pair of Aris Isotoner gloves, several media pictures emerged showing Simpson wearing these exact gloves.
- Bloody footprints in Nicole’s home were identified as being made from a pair of Bruno Magli shoes. These shoes are expensive and rare. The size 12 prints match Simpson’s shoe size. Simpson claims under oath that he does not own such shoes and in fact indicates that he thinks they “are ugly”. A photograph was introduced showing Simpson wearing the exact shoes at an NFL football game. Simpson claimed under oath that the photo is a forgery and is backed up by an expert witness. Later, another photo taken by a different source, also showed Simpson wearing the same shoes at another NFL football game.
- Friends and family indicated that Nicole claimed that Simpson had been stalking her. She said that everywhere she went she saw Simpson there watching her. She was afraid because Simpson had already told her he would kill her if he ever found her with another man.
- Ross Cutlery provided store receipts indicating Simpson had purchased a 12-inch Stiletto knife six weeks before the murders. A replica of the knife was purchased by the police and provided an exact match to the wounds on Nicole and Ronald Goldman.
And OJ still claims he was never there, from that amount of evidence in my view is quite astonishing saying the man got off. Hey even his police chase were he held a gun to his friends head and told him to drive seemed to be brushed over without a second glance. He went on the run for heavens sake !
There has been significant criticism of the prosecution and the police, and many contend that Simpson would have been found guilty had there not been so many mistakes and irregularities. An Interesting point
I’m sure I read something too about it being race issue.
Double jeopardy eh, I am not going to say I did it, but let say if I had done it this is how I would have done it. Also I get to make money from this book too.
Maybe Ill just wait till its in the Library .
