OJ Simpson OJ Simpson is a former National Football League running back, a actor, broadcaster and even a advertising spokesman, but those weren’t all of the things the former running back was. OJ Simpson was involved in a armed robbery, arrested for kidnapping, charged on multiple cases of assault and was also accused of committing the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

There was also accusations that the detective in charge who was present at all of the crime scenes was racist towards OJ Simpson and involved in changing and tampering with the evidence which made it seem like the defendant, OJ Simpson was guilty.

Lizzie Borden is guilty of the murder of her parents. For example, “Lizzie had no alibis other than her own statements and unfortunately for her, her statements changed each time she made one…”(45). Police and witnesses believe she was just trying to cover for someone or she was just put under pressure when asked for an alibi and had to come up with a story in the spur of the moment.

Despite if you believe that Lizzie killed them or not, is your opinion. Lizzie had much evidence to be blamed for. Perhaps not all the blame should be aspired towards her, but there is enough evidence that can charged against her. Even though Lizzie adored her father, but she completely hated her stepmother.
Held in New Bedford, Massachusetts, the trial of Lizzie Borden contained many suspicious, unusual, and debatable reactions and pieces of evidence, causing the jury to decide on an unlikely verdict of not guilty (Berni 34). From the start, Lizzie Borden provided many inconsistent facts about the murders (Hazell). One example of Lizzie Borden’s changing story relates to the note her stepmother allegedly received prior to her murder.

In America, in the June of 1994, football star and actor O.J. Simpson’s wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and a waiter Ronald Goldman were found murdered outside Nicole’s condo in Los Angeles. Evidence collected at the scene of crime led the investigators to believe that O.J. Simpson was the murderer. However, after a trial that lasted eight months, he was acquitted.
