My footprints weren’t at the crime scene.
I also don’t own a pair of Bruno Magli shoes in size 12 nor do I have a pair of Aris Isotoner gloves in a rare size XL.
But OJ did.
Here's a pic of him wearing the exact same gloves that was left at the crime scene when he was broadcasting a football game.
An Aris Isotoner executive stated that he was sure they were the same gloves that OJ was wearing in the broadcast that were left at the crime scene.
And here's a picture of OJ's wearing the same shoes that left a footprint at the crime scene...
In the same size that OJ wears.
That OJ said that he didn't own a pair of.
Now these all could be coincidence's. Maybe OJ and the killer had the same taste, or maybe the LAPD planted it?
none of this was valid when it came to the trial because
if those were the
same gloves - they would have fit him at trial - no?
everything about the shoes were impeached because
1. there were
2 different sized sets of bloody foot prints leaving the scene - that the DA didn't present -allowing team OJ to cut them off at the knees
2. there was no bloody shoe found
but they found bloody socks in his bedroom? ok
3 the shoe prints found in the Bronco were disregarded because
a. passenger side was location of collection
b. the various impossible blood splatter collected in the truck
the weird thing about the bronco is - initially -the first exam collected blood traces that matched to OJ, were found on the drivers side and passenger side - nothing else
- but later they find Nicole and Ron blood matches were found -only on the passenger side and in places impossible to reach unless the interior was disassembled
But to say that "Every" piece of circumstantial evidence was impeached is a bit of a stretch.
LAPD botched the case with forensics and also appeared to have planted evidence to make the case stick.
And that's why he was acquitted, not because he didn't do it.
But to say that anyone's 100% confident that he didn't do it should be kinda a stretch.
its a fact that in that trial every piece of circumstantial evidence was impeached
1. in addition to the "non naturally occurring " or "physically impossible" evidence -
LAPD had broken chain of custody for
multiple pieces of evidence. -including OJ voluntary blood sample and much of the evidence collected at OJ house - eg. one detective kept the sample at his house for a weekend
If the chain of custody has been broken or tampered with, evidence can be ruled as inadmissible, meaning it cannot be presented or believed to be authentic in a court of law and therefore cannot be used to convict a defendant.
2. The defense presented to the jury LAPD evidence room logs including descriptions of condition
along with then putting cops on the stand to try to explain how why multiple logged evidence items
in the OJ trial had disappeared completely -
or worse, others were clearly tampered and or altered from the condition they were in when originally logged
If you want to argue that OJ got a pair of hitmen -ok
but its not a stretch when there is no viable evidence that physically puts OJ at the scene that night
1. weeks after the murder a detective - not crime scene tech, but a detective finds OJ blood splatter in the court yard
but when analysed it is incontrovertible that the blood came out of a collection vial not a body
2. the condition of gloves and socks is not possible if being worn when bloodied
3. OJ had a cut on his finger - no bruising no defensive wounds vs Ron n Nicole have extensive defensive wounds
