DNA analysis of the blood found in, on, and near Simpson's Bronco revealed traces of Simpson's, Nicole's, and Ronald Goldman's blood.
DNA analysis of bloody socks found in Simpson's bedroom were proven to be Nicole's blood.
Simpson's hair was found on Goldman's shirt even though Simpson claimed not to have been at the home and never to have met Goldman.
DNA analysis of blood on the gloves was proven to be a mixture of Simpson's, Nicole's, and Ronald Goldman's. The gloves also contained particles of Goldman's hair and carpet fibers from Simpson's Bronco.
Arrest records indicate that Simpson had been charged with the beating of his wife Nicole. Photos of Nicole's bruised and battered face emerged. Simpson was sentenced to 3 years of community service for the crime.
Police discovered that the dome light in the Bronco had been removed. A search of the vehicle revealed the light was carefully placed under the passenger seat and was in good working condition. Puzzling blood smears on the passenger floorboard indicated that Simpson may have purposely removed the light and placed it under the seat before the murders (assuming he had indeed murdered Brown Simpson and Goldman). Then after the murders he may have unsuccessfully tried to find it to put it back in the socket. Police on stakeouts routinely remove the dome lights from their vehicles to avoid detection when the car doors are opened.
It was discovered that one set of keys to Nicole Brown Simpson's home were missing. She had indicated to several family members and friends that she feared Simpson had stolen them to gain entry into her home. The keys were later found in Simpson's home.
Paula Barbieri indicated that she had broken up with Simpson the day of the murders. She indicated he seemed very disturbed at the news. Phone records proved that Simpson attempted to contact her shortly before the murders from his Bronco's cellular phone.
The left-hand glove found at Nicole's home and the right-hand glove found at OJ's home proved to be a match. They were also proven to be Simpson's size. Even though Simpson claimed under oath that he did not own a pair of Aris Isotoner gloves, several media pictures emerged showing Simpson wearing these exact gloves.
Bloody footprints in Nicole's home were identified as being made from a pair of Bruno Magli shoes. These shoes are expensive and rare. The size 12 prints match Simpson's shoe size. Simpson claims under oath that he does not own such shoes and in fact indicates that he thinks they "are ugly". A photograph was introduced showing Simpson wearing the exact shoes at an NFL football game. Simpson claimed under oath that the photo is a forgery and is backed up by an expert witness. Later, another photo taken by a different source, also showed Simpson wearing the same shoes at another NFL football game.
Friends and family indicated that Nicole claimed that Simpson had been stalking her. She said that everywhere she went she saw Simpson there watching her. She was afraid because Simpson had already told her he would kill her if he ever found her with another man.
Ross Cutlery provided store receipts indicating Simpson had purchased a 12-inch Stiletto knife six weeks before the murders. A replica of the knife was purchased by the police and provided an exact match to the wounds on Nicole and Ronald Goldman.

a. He had the Dream team of defense lawyers
b. The dream team and the trial wore the jury out to the point where they would have acquitted Jack the Ripper if it meant going home and back to their lives.
c. The D.A.'s office appointed two bunglers to handle the case.
d. One of the detectives handling the blood evidence allowed it to slip out of the chain of evidence (carried it around in his pocket) making it suspect.
e. The dream team was successful in suppressing most of the evidence you have brought up in your question. The jury never heard about it.
f. In the end, Johnny Cochran played the race card by focusing attention on one detective who used the N word - not towards OJ, Mr. Cochran or any other black person, but to a girl he was trying to impress - and the fact that the detective lied about using the N word. He used this word and the subsequent lie to discredit the detective and the entire investigation.
Did you know that when contractors tore down the condo where the murders took place (because no one would buy it) they found a Stiletto knife in the ivy?

The only reason I can think of is; after the Rodney King verdict. The jury did not want to see LA burn again. They did not see the same trial that the rest of us did. They were locked up when all the real evidence came out. Our judicial system failed.

A black jury.
I watched the verdict when I worked at a bank. They brought in a TV?!?!?!? There were two black people in the conference room when the Not Guilty verdict was read. They both cheered! It was almost as disgusting as seeing Reginald Denny (?sp?) getting beat up because he was white during the LA Riots which was supposedly because the black people of that area were tired of racism! Go figure....

Because he was found Not Guilty by a jury of his peers, which is what the court system is all about.. why do guilty people get off on technicalities with a rash of evidence against them... to make sure citizen's rights are being upheld- not saying it's always right.. but in this country you have rights and one of them is to be judged by a jury of your peers

Because he had a lawyer that convinced 12 jurors that he was not guilty. I wish I would have been on that jury. He would have to write his book from behind bars. It's a real tragedy that he's wasn't convicted.

Yeah, Simpson got away with murder scot free because he is a celebrity; despite overwhelming evidence he is guilty as sin and he committed the crime. He may have gotten away with it here on Earth, but he won't get away with it when he dies.

It has to do with how the evidence was obtained and due process. He was found not guilty by jurors in criminal court, and cannot be tried again. However, he was sued and lost in civil court, because more evidence was admissible. And now he is so cleverly rubbing it in our faces with, "If I did it"...
That's America for you.

Because he had a smart lawyer, a dumb jury and a famous face. Now he has a pair of messed up kids who have to live the knowledge that their psychotic father killed their mother. Sad, Sad, Sad.
