O. J. Simpson Case Study

O.J. Simpson should have been found guilty of murder because of evidence found before his trial. O.j. and Nicole married in 1985 and began their family by having their first child, Sydney and three years later, Justin. All seemed well in the relationship until family members and friends came out that O.J. has been abusing her all seven years of marriage (Noble). Nicole kept journal entries recording what she went through daily from mental and physical abuse to stalking. “Threw me on the floor hit me kicked me. We went to Sherry Land Hotel where he continued to beat me for hours as I kept crawling for the door” (Brown). Nicole called the police eight times, but O.J. was never actually arrested, only once. “She’s wearing nothing but a bra

We the jury found the defendant Orenthal James Simpson guilty of the crime of double murder. These are the words that we all wanted to here on October 3rd, 1995 when the verdict was announced. Instead we here that the jury found OJ not guilty, leaving many people surprised. I am here today to prove that OJ Simpson was guilty of the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.

The trial of the century, is what it is known as. When Americans gathered around their televisions to see if O.J. Simpson will be convicted of the murders of his ex wife and her friend. This event has changed the way many think about other races, and the United States court systems. Although O.J. was known to many as an idol or just another athlete/actor he still changed the way we treat other races due to what has happened in the past, and changed the media to how it is today.

The book that I am going to introduce is Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O.J. Got Away With Murder, written by Vincent Bugliosi, and was published on June 17, 1996. We all know that Nichole Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death and their bodies were discovered on June 12, 1994 early morning. It was said that after a car chase, O.J. was found with $9,000 I cash, his passport, disguise, and a gun. O.J. Simpson who is her ex-husband was acquitted October 3, 1995, for their deaths in a trial that riveted the nation and divided people along racial differences. In 1997, he was ordered to pay a little over $33 million for their deaths. O.J. Simpson is still serving time in prison for things like kidnapping, robbery, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, and numerous other charges. Mr. Bugliosi sums up five reason why the case was lost. Those five can be labeled as the jury, the change in venue or settings, the judge allowing the defense to play the race card, the stupidity of the prosecution throughout the trial, and lastly the summation of what should really have been done. But in honesty when the media started reporting about this case it was already falling apart.

In 1994, O.J. Simpson was convicted of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. A lot of evidence was found that points he was the murderer. Yet some how, Simpson was found not guilty. I believe O.J. Simpson is completely guilty of the murder of his ex wife and her friend and should be behind bars for it.

Imagine a police chase being broadcasted on tv for millions of people to see, a man who is running now with a gun, money, and a disguise less than twenty four hours after his ex wife and new lover were murdered. Now he is being arrested and tried with their murders and against all evidence pointing towards the rest of his life in prison, he is released after 16 months of awaiting a verdict. Well this isn’t a soap opera and that isn’t Sonny Corinthos, that is your favorite athlete, former heisman trophy winner and celebrity, Oj Simpson. On October 3rd 1995, Oj Simpson was found innocent of killing Nicole Simpson and her believed lover Ron Goldman in one of the most controversial and corrupt court cases ever. Many people

“The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start to the top”- O.J. Simpson. June 12, 1994 was the day O.J Simpson got away with murder. Nicole Brown was murdered with her companion, Ron Goldman, on June 12, 1994. Much evidence was found such as DNA evidence, a glove, and hair. In the controversial court case of O.J Simpson and the murder of his wife Nicole, the guilty verdict incorrectly acquitted him based on the previous violence, the evidence found, and the personal consequences following his act.

O.J. Simpson, born Orenthal James Simpson, was an exceptional football running back from 1969-1980. After retirement from football, Simpson became a sports newscaster, as well as continued as a “B” rate actor. Although he was a black man, he was accepted due to his accumulated wealth, as an elite white man. He married a beautiful white woman with flowing blonde hair, Nicole Brown. He had two children with Brown-Simpson and appeared to be living happily in Brentwood, California. Simpson was accused of domestic battery multiple times by his wife, which ultimately led to the dissolution of their marriage. On June 13, 2004 Brown-Simpson, as well as a male acquaintance, was found murdered outside of her home in Brentwood. Suddenly, the cameras were trained on Simpson, not for a feat in the game of football, not for a sports analysis, and not for an orange juice or car rental commercial; rather he is the main suspect in the death of Brown-Simpson and Ronald Goldman, both of whom are white. In this paper I will argue, that O.J. Simpson’s socio-economic status afforded him, or his legal team, the opportunity to change the color of his skin when it benefitted him.

It did not take long for the dead bodies to be discovered. Shortly after the clock struck midnight on June 13, 1994, Nicole and Ron’s bodies were found by police following a 911 call they had received from a passerby (“He could run”). Chicago police examined OJ’s hotel room after he had checked out, finding a bloody towel and bedsheet, as well as a broken glass. OJ’s attorney would go on to claim that Simpson had broken the glass, thus cutting himself when he heard about Nicole’s death (“He could run”). Los Angeles police officers searched Simpson’s mansion upon his return to LA and taking him in for questioning. While investigating the house, police found tennis shoes and a bloody glove. The officers also noticed a few stains on the driveway and traces of the victims’ types of blood at OJ’s estate. (“A guide to the Simpson case”). Evidence including a bloody glove to match the one found at Simpson’s

In every case a prosecution should do what it takes to show that the defendant is guilty and bring justice to their clients. This should always ring true but in the murders of Nicole Brown-Simpson, and Ron Goldman I continue to notice multiple flaws in the case. In the research conducted, I develop a negative view of the individuals that put this case together. I believe there are six mistakes that occur on the part of the prosecution, that lead to a Not Guilty verdict deciding the fate of one Orenthal James Simpson.

The O. J. Simpson double murder case, also titled “People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson was a trial in which James O.J Simpson, a former National Football League player was convicted at the Los Angeles County Superior Court of two murder offenses on June 12, 1994. He was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, a restaurant waiter at Mezzaluna. The trial spans for a period of eight months. The opening statements were read on January 23, 1995, whereas the verdict, which left Simpson a free man, was declared on October 3, 1995. “The Trial of The Century,” as it is commonly known, has been described as the most publicized trial in history. However, before Simpson could be arrested and prosecuted, they had to go through an investigation process with the implementation of some techniques used by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as this essay illustrates.

Their are many famous cases in the world but their is one that stands out from all the other ones because of how big the case really was. This was the O.J.
