What Is The Oj Simpson Case

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.

On June 12th, 1994, Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman’s bodies were found Nicole’s condominium; the victims had been stabbed to death. The identity of the murderer was unknown up until O.J was suspected to be a suspect. When accused, he was in another state, and was forced to fly back. (Aaseng 1996)

On the murder night of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, was a massive outburst on the media. As stated (Turvey December 1995) both bodies were found at 12:10Am, June 13 1994 inside of Nicole’s house located at 875 South Bundy reported by witnesses seeing a river of blood. As we get closer to the murder care of both Nicole and Ron many unanswered question starts to pile up, from who could had possibly had done this to why they ever did this.

A guy with no remorse of the death of his ex-wife writes a book about hypothetically killing her and evidence points to him and he walks. Nicole had numerous reports of telling a close friend and a therapist she feared that OJ would kill her one day. She even had her sister take pictures of bruises where he had hit her so she would have proof because, “The public thinks he’s a hero who can do no

On the night of June 12, 1994 the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found just outside Nicole’s condo. Los Angeles Police Department, LAPD, rushed to the scene. There the

What had happened after midnight is still disputed, but it was most likely done by one single suspect. In front of the condo, near the gate, Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman were brutally murdered with what appeared to be a single-edged sharp weapon, most likely a knife. Nicole suffered severe stab wounds in the head and neck. She also seemed to have defensive wounds on her hands. The suspect seemed to have struggled with Ron Goldman, who is repeatedly stabbed thirty-three times. (Linder) Just after midnight, Nicole’s Akita, saturated in blood, attracted the attention of a neighbor, who shortly discovered the bodies. The ill-fated investigation of Brown-Simpson and Goldman murders began when detectives went to Simpson’s Rockingham home to inform him of the murder of his ex-wife. While on the scene of Mr. Simpson’s home, detective, Mark Fuhrman, had found blood scattered along a white Ford Bronco. The four detectives on the scene had argued that they entered without a search warrant because of the exigent circumstances. Meanwhile, O.J. Simpson was aboard an American Airlines Flight #668 to Chicago, Illinois. After being told of the murder, O.J. boards a flight back to Los Angeles. Upon his return, Simpson undergoes questioning at the police headquarters. The Los Angeles Homicide Detective, Mark Fuhrman, became one of the most controversial figures in the Simpson trial because of the incriminating

“The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that’s the day you start to the top.” Orenthal J Simpson: famous football player, father of four, and recent husband of the dead Nicole Brown Simpson. Being in a relationship with Nicole for seven years made outsources conclude/believe that Simpson really did love his wife. However, the reports and phone calls made by Nicole Brown Simpson to the police would say otherwise. The day June 12th, 1994 would haunt Orenthal Simpson the rest of his life, this is the day that he should have taken “complete responsibility” for his actions; afteral, Orenthal J Simpson murdered his wife and her friend Ron Goldman. Simpson was proven innocent, although evidence

Some of O.J.’s supporters also is innocent contend that O.J was not in good enough physical condition to commit two murders. Due to injuries he suffered during his NFL career, O.J had developed symptoms of arthritis. The defense team was stated that on the night of the murders, Simpson’s arthritis was so severe that he could not even deal cards at the Riviera Country Club hours before (Bugliosi 302).

They gathered enough evidence to charge him with two counts of first-degree murder. The prosecution, therefore, had to prove that O.J knowingly caused the demise of both Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. Simpson’s house guest was recorded saying that he saw O.J Simpson, shortly after the murder, being pulled up in his white Bronco. Moreover, the limo driver stated that he waited for him for fifteen minutes before driving him to the airport. Interestingly, the times given by the witnesses coincided with suspected murder time proving that Simpson actually had planned the crime. His alibi was also precarious. He also had a record of spousal abuse. All evidence was against him and after the police established all crime elements, Simpson was charged

The trial of the former National Football League and actor, O.J. Simpson, became part of the daily lives of everyone living in the United States for almost a year. He was tried for the murder of his ex wife Nicole Simpson, and waiter Ronald Goldman, but because of his social role he managed to be acquitted. It was a trial influenced by power, wealth, and especially race, which gave Simpson advantage within the jury.

On June 12, 1994 a horrible crime caught the attention of millions of people in America. The bodies of Nicole Brown and Ronald Lyle Goldman were found dead at around 12:10 am. O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown, had been stabbed multiple times in the head and neck, the wound to her neck was fatal. O.J. Simpson was the first suspect in this double murder case. The O.J. Simpson trial lasted more than eight months in Los Angeles, California. There was crucial evidence that implicated Nicole’s ex-husband. A bloody trail found on Nicole’s house, as well as, in Simpson’s white Bronco, bloody shoe footprints, a bloody pair of socks in Simpson’s house, and a glove found on O.J. Simpson’s property with his DNA. However, Johnnie Cochran Simpson’s lawyer argued that the laboratory procedures were done inaccurately, and he also alleged that the prosecutors were been racist against his defendant.

“I want to put our family back together. I want our kids to grow up with their parents. I thought I’d be happy raising Sydney and Justin by myself since we didn’t see too much of you anyway.” (Simpson). “On June 13, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found murdered outside Brown 's Bundy Drive condo in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. Evidence found and collected at the scene led police to suspect that Simpson was the murderer.” (Ferrell). O.J. Simpson was as charming and deceiving as they come. A true famous figure in the public’s eye has to be calm and collective; however, O.J.’s subconscious came out more throughout his marriage with Nicole Brown Simpson. “You beat me up, O.J. I won’t live my life wondering where the

On June 12, 1994 Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman were brutally murdered with what appeared to be a single-edged sharp weapon, most likely a knife. Nicole Brown was the ex-wife of a celebrity; this made things complicated

When fame becomes a driving force to make decisions in society, crimes turn to be permissible. Chicago is popular with its criminal activities and with the number shootings, level of corruption and human rights violations Chicago always gets top positions in the charts. Fortunately, most of those criminals are caught and quickly sentenced to an appropriate penalty. However, when it comes to the case of people who have a certain fame, things become more complicated. Often, the trials are being postponed and the time it takes for juries and judges make a decision prolongs. As a result, the defendant who is a celebrity or a political figure gets away with his charges.

“Simplicity can be a benefit or a detriment if it becomes an oversimplification.” (Lecture 3/27/17)
