OJ Simpson use to be a former college and professional football player, primarily playing for the Buffalo Bills. He became the first footballer to rush 2000 yards. He also did acting and was a board caster. For acting he was in the tv show called Juiced. He, unfortunately, ends up getting into some trouble with the law.

Simpson used to be married to Nicole Brown Simpson. They got a divorce on February 25, 1992. At the time O.J. said the divorce was because of irreconcilable differences. He told Nicole after that he had an ongoing affair with Tawny Kitaen for a year.

Nicole lived in a condo in the Brentwood neighborhood in L.A. She was with her friend Ron Goldman and both were found dead after being stabbed. There was some crucial evidence of a bloody fingerprint on the gateway of Nicole's house. Detective Mark Fuhrman marked this in his notes, but he did not properly collect the blood sample. The other detectives didn't know about the blood until it was already gone. There apparently were other pieces of evidence that were never recorded which made this a sloppy forensic collection at the scene. Photos taken were not even logged correctly. The police even laid a blanket on Nicole's body from her house which contaminates the scene more. Some of the evidence of OJ blood was also missing from the evidence.

After the police notified O.J he hid in the back of a sport-utility vehicle and was being driven by a friend. The police started following the vehicle since O.J had a gun up to his head. The police followed at a slow pace and this attempted escape was televised for an hour. There was an estimation of 95 million views watching his attempted escape. O.J fans were lined up in the street to show him support. He finally got arrested near is home in Brentwood, California.

This was a hard case to come to a verdict on since there was a lot of corruption in the evidence. A lot of people also like the star football player. On the contrary, many thought it was obvious that he was guilty. A motivation to kill was that he was reported to be physically abusive to Nicole during their marriage. He was very jealous of Nicole and would have been the main reason he would have killed them. The jury acquitted him for both murders since the lack of noncorrupt evidence.

I chose this topic because I never heard of this trial and heard most people thought he should have been guilty. I just knew OJ was a former famous football player. I learned that there were a lot of strange things that happen at the crime scene. After researching I definitely think he is guilty and that he maybe even paid the police to mess with the evidence. This relates to today because it seems like money can help win a trial.
