(If) He Did It

What comes to mind when you first hear the name O.J. Simpson? Is it that he used to be an NFL football player? Or is it that he was accused of murdering his wife and her friend? For those of you who don't know about the infamous trial, O.J. Simpson was the prime suspect when his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were found murdered at Nicole's house. There was many evidence that pointed towards O.J. but somehow he got away with it. For starters, Nicole and O.J.'s marriage was never perfect. She had accused him of domestic violence a few times, there is actually a 911 phone call that she had made while he was breaking into her home and he was trying to attack her. This audio is available to the public, which you can take a look at here:

Although there weren’t any witnesses that could testify that O.J. was seen at the crime scene on the night of the murders and there were no weapons found either, the prosecutors did have two very important pieces of evidence that the they could use against him. One of the biggest pieces of evidence they found was blood from both of the victims and from O.J. Simpson at the crime scene. Investigators also found Nicole and Ron’s blood in O.J.’s white Ford Bronco. When police arrived at the crime scene, the two fatally stabbed bodies were found along with one bloody black glove. As they continued their investigation at O.J. Simpson’s house. another identical glove was found in his property with blood that ended up being a match to both Nicole and Ron as well. This was one of the biggest trials in history, and the final verdict left some people watching cheering to see O.J. Simpson walk away an innocent free man, and others appalled that he had possibly gotten away with murder.
