FBI Releases Extensive Records on O.J. Simpson Case
The FBI has made public nearly 500 pages of documents related to O.J. Simpson following his death two months prior. These records focus primarily on the criminal investigation into the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, in which Simpson was a key suspect.
Investigation Details and Evidence
The documents detail the forensic examination of evidence, especially fiber samples connected to the case. A significant portion discusses efforts by the FBI to trace the purchase of Bruno Magli size 12 shoes, a crucial piece of evidence in both the criminal and civil trials involving Simpson.
An FBI expert testified during the criminal trial that Simpson's shoe size corresponded to bloody shoeprints found at the crime scene, which were linked to the high-end Bruno Magli brand.
Although Simpson denied ever owning Bruno Magli shoes during his civil trial testimony, photos later emerged showing him wearing that specific brand.
Legal Outcomes
- Simpson was acquitted in the high-profile criminal trial.
- He was later found liable in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33 million to the victims' families.
