Cork is right. Homicide cases are never closed.
It's true that OJ cannot be prosecuted again under Double Jeopardy, but the case would remain officially open.

~Why, are you wanting to confess? Given that there was no conviction, the case is technically unresolved. Given that the perpetrator skated and there are no other possible credible suspects, and never will be, there is no point in wasting the time, money and manpower to continue an investigation. You can't try 2 people for the same murder as a practical matter. After the first is aquitted, the exonerated defendant and the evidence introduced against him/her is more than enough to create reasonable doubt at the trial of the second. But at least Fox wised up or was pressured into not airing that ridiculous tv special and the book was cancelled. Too bad we can't reunite the Electric Company, short it out and turn it on the Juice.

Closed. When Simpson got acquitted, he is protected from ever being prosecuted again for this crime by the double jeopardy rule. He could have walked out of the court room the very day he way acquitted and proclaim,"I just got away with murder", and there is NOTHING that the law can do to him.

The murder case is closed, the jury having allowed OJ to walk away free. Since we have a constitutional protection against double jeopardy, he can never be tried again for the two murders
again.
He was sued in civil court, and lost. He was ordered to pay
a large settlement to the families for the deaths.
He has never paid anything.
The murder case goes on the books officially as unsolved, a cold
case.
But I think most of us have strong feelings about whom we feel committed the murders

Due to the acquittal, OJ could come right out and finally admit that he committed both of the murders and he cannot be tried again because he is protected by the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution ("nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb"). There isn't a statute of limitations where murder is concerned and if I'm not mistaken, the case is still open.

What you prefer matters to know one on here.
Get over it, already it has been 12 years. Just because someone is acquitted does not mean that they did not do it. Why look for a murder when you already know who done it.
And if he could he would tell you how he would have done it "if he did" imagine the irony in that, killing people, getting acquitted, then writing a book to tell Hypothetically how you would have done it. If they would have let the man publish the book we would know alot more about how he really did it.

i be attentive to a pair atheists who have self belief in ghosts, and additionally in a phenomenon spoke of as "place memory" wherein a house, merchandise, different region, etc can maintain something like an emotional "recording" of situations of extreme emotion. those may be felt by some human beings and at the same time as they are going to fade with time, the immediacy of the emotional recording could have severe emotional outcomes on some human beings - in spite of if basically an unfounded concern or feeling of creepiness. So, in the event that they have not got self belief in or experience those issues, then some atheists may be basically high quality with it. Others might particularly concern the murderer, fearing he might return to the scene of the crime and do a repeat after he became into released from reformatory. Others nonetheless may be disillusioned with regard to the thought of the completed count number - the realtor broke the regulation and could be spoke of as to account. yet then, there are a number of non secular of each and every sort who might have not got any difficulty being there in any respect.

Hello there,
Unfortunately, for OJ, the case is closed. That is unless he really decides to "Confess his sins".
Double jeopary is a "you know what" isn't it. The murderer loves it and the victims families hate it. I mean, OJ can confess until the cows come home and he knows he will never got to prison now. Eleven years is a long time to look in your mirror every day and repeat to yourself, "I did not kill my wife and her friend, I did not kill my wife and her friend".
If this was not a crime of passion, then I do not know what is. I mean, almost decapitating your wife! That takes a lot of rage.
But yes, a homicide case is never closed.
Hope this helps you.............................................. :-)

The criminal case is closed. The families of the victims did file a civil case against OJ and he was found liable for the murders and paid the families a hefty cash settlement.

The L.A. prosecution reportedly paid upwards of 9 million dollars on this case, and the L.A. Times said O.J. spent only about 4.5 million. That means O.J. got excellent representation, at cut-throat prices.
