Orenthal James Simpson, commonly known as O.J. Simpson, was tried for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown-Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman who were stabbed on the evening of June 12, 1994. He was acquitted of the murder charge in 1995, but I am going to explain why he explain should have been found guilty of the murder.
O.J. held the nickname “The Juice”. O.J. Simpson was widely known in the 70s. He was a star football player.

The first point is that there was a knife found in Simpson’s home. It was purchased by Simpson before the murder occurred. The coroner says that the wounds on the two corpses indicated that the knife was a single edged knife, which matches the knife recently purchased aby Simpson. The doctor who looked the knife over says that he cannot be certain of the knife being the murder weapon, yet the murder weapon has never been found. In addition to this, when Simpson learns of the knife being found in his home, he was quoted as being “a bit nervous” of the knife that had been discovered. Why be nervous if it wasn’t used? The doctors never gave a definite answer on how the knife wasn’t used. They said they can’t be certain. The police posted that the knife wasn’t used, yet they never explained how it was proven to be clean. They simply said it wasn’t the weapon and went about their business. This is obviously reason to believe that the knife is the weapon used in the murder. The doctors aren’t positive, the police aren’t descriptive, and Simpson is “a bit nervous” of a knife found on his
