Detectives issue document on O.J. Simpson investigation
In 1995, O.J. Simpson faced trial for two murders. In spite of substantial proof, he walked out of court a free man. Recently, two months ago, Simpson succumbed to cancer. Presently, authorities have disclosed hundreds of pages of research findings from this case.
The FBI has disclosed a 475-page compilation of the investigation into the demise of the prior football celebrity, O.J. Simpson, alongside the twin homicide of his ex-wife and her friend. This is the first time these accumulated papers have been made publicly available, as per numerous American media outlets. The published pages predominantly encompass fiber, blood, and hair specimens - together with a particular pair of shoes.
On the night of June 12, 1994, an observer stumbled upon Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, both viciously stabbed to death, front of Brown's Los Angeles residence. The suspicion fixed onto her ex-husband, Simpson. Footprints were identified at the location that could be traced back to a luxury Italian male shoe size 45. Investigators endeavored to link Simpson to the shoes and, as per the file, even travelled to Milan for this aim.
Among the documents now being referenced, there exists a written note stating, "Purchased several pairs of shoes for kids, son-in-law..." However, Simpson could not be convincingly demonstrated to possess those shoes. He claimed he disliked the appearance or design at that time, so informed media sources. After an eight-month-long trial that gripped the entire country, Simpson was acquitted in 1995.
The proof against Simpson was undeniable. For the survivors of the casualties, it was only a slight comfort once Simpson was found guilty in a civil trial in 1997 and was ordered to pay a million-dollar fine. On April 10 of that year, he passed away at age 76 due to cancer.
