Subsequent to the trial defense attorneys talking about the trial have been careful to say "the jury did the right thing," while not stating that Simpson was in fact innocent. Subsequent to the trial, Simpson has devoted no real effort to tracking down the "real killer," nor has any significant evidence surfaced suggesting that the killer was anyone other than Simpson. The jury was not allowed to hear testimony concerning Simpson's rumored jailhouse confession to Rosie Grier. Subsequent to the criminal trial other evidence of Simpson's guilt surfaced.
The most significant of the new evidence may have been photographs of Simpson wearing Bruno Magli shoes. The new evidence, together with much of the evidence considered in the criminal trial, convinced a civil jury that Simpson murdered Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman. The book describes in detail events leading up to the moment of the murders.
Beyond poor evidence collection techniques, sloppy maneuvering at the scene caused more bloody shoe prints to be left behind by LAPD than by the perpetrator. Securing the Evidence Throughout the investigation, there were issues with how evidence was secured.
There was about 1. To add to the problem, the blood was not immediately turned over as evidence but was carried around for several hours before it was entered into the chain of custody, allowing for speculation of when and how the 1.
The security of LAPD storage and labs was also brought under scrutiny when it was discovered that some pieces of evidence had been accessed and altered by unauthorized personnel. A Question of Planted Evidence Not only were there many claims that the evidence was mishandled in the police lab but there were also claims that evidence was planted at the crime scene. The defense team stated that EDTA was found in the samples of blood that were collected at the crime scene.
EDTA is a blood fixer anticoagulant used in labs and mixed with collected blood. However, EDTA is also a chemical found naturally in human blood and chemicals such as paint. Some believe that the positive EDTA results may have been due to contamination of the equipment used to run the tests.
A Question of Character Detective Fuhrman was discredited by the prosecution when he was alleged to be a racist and accused of planting evidence. When asked if he had falsified police reports or planted evidence in the Simpson case, he invoked his 5th Amendment rights against self-incrimination. This put anything he touched in the investigation under scrutiny.
Shoe evidence: 1 shoe prints found at Bundy were from a size 12 Bruno Magli shoe, 2 bloody shoe impression on Bronco carpet is consistent with a Magli shoe, 3 Simpson wore a size 12 shoe. Other evidence: 1 flight in Bronco, 2 strange reaction to phone call informing him of Nicole Brown's death, etc.
Simpson did not testify at his criminal trial. Defense attorneys will almost always call as a witness an articulate client that they believe to be innocent.
