The OJ Simpson Criminal Case (Investigation and Interrogation) Kaitlyn Marie Debrodie CJA 401 August 30, 2014 Professor Nick Tzakis The OJ Simpson Criminal Case (Investigation and Interrogation) The Interrogation of Orenthal James (O. J) Simpson On one faithful night in June of 1994, a gruesome double murder took place. The victims Nicole Brown Simpson (former ex-wife of the famous Orenthal James (O.J.) Simpson) and Ronald Goldman (an acquaintance to Nicole) were found brutally murdered in front of Nicole’s pricey condominium in Los Angeles, California. With this horrific crime it was necessary to find suspects with the proper motive. Thus meaning that who would want Nicole killed and why? The Los Angeles Police Department was out …show more content…

Parker Center was the headquarters for the Los Angeles Police Department from 1954 until October 2009 and is located in Downtown LA. “The building was named for former LAPD chief William H. Parker. The building combined police facilities that had been located throughout the Civic Center area. On July 16, 1966, Chief Parker had a fatal heart attack. Soon afterwards, the Los Angeles City Council renamed the building "Parker Center." The building was one of the sites of unrest during the 1992 Los Angeles riots following a not-guilty verdict for the four police officers in the Rodney King matter” (laalmanac.com).For the O. J. Simpson case, the center again became an area that was heavily populated during the interrogation in …show more content…

With this being said and studying the topic in greater depth detail, it seems that there may have been a more likely suspect other than O.J. Simpson. This would have been O.J.’s son, Jason Simpson, who ironically had anger issues and a career as “a Miami chef, who could be accused as the overlooked suspect” (dailymail.com). Research has shown that Jason was accused by Nicole of stalking her and causing her discomfort and a fear of her life. She reported to O.J. and police that Jason was stalking her on numerous occasions, so no one really knows who the murderer was. I feel that if the investigators would have looked deeper into this assumption that they would have found more concrete evidence possibly linking another suspect to the crime. It is my opinion that if Jason was involved with the double murder-homicide, and the investigators were more forceful, O.J. may have been inclined to protect his son and take the fall. He possibly would have given a false statement of confession, even though he may have not committed the

When John Ramsey and his neighbor Fleet White went around the area to see if JonBenet was hiding somewhere, the first place John went was straight to the basement. Which just so happened to be where JonBenet’s body was found, so that right there raised a huge red flag. The reason for that was because by the time Mr. Ramsey had gone downstairs to the basement, it had been a few hours from when everything had started and mysteriously he knew exactly where she would be in the basement? The biggest part of it all was after Mr. Ramsey had found JonBenet, instead of calling for the detectives who were all over his home; he immediately picked JonBenet off the ground and took the duct tape off her mouth. After John Ramsey touched JonBenet, that entire murder scene was now tampered with which makes anything that was found inaccurate seeing how there is now other fingerprints on the body.

However, when the case reached the courtroom there seemed to be minimal focus placed on the actions of O.J. Simpson on June 12, 1994. The trial was deliberately turned into a charade for the entire country to witness; there has never been a spectacle such as the Simpson trial before, and there has not been one since. The defense turned the murder trial into a race riot portraying the lead detective at the crime scene, Mark Fuhrman, as a racist and discrediting the evidence by suggesting he planted it to frame an innocent black man (Bonesteel). The defense did a brilliant job of distracting the jury from the evidence against O.J. and bringing their attention to the racist failures of the LAPD. The spectacle the defense created in the courtroom would not have been necessary unless there was something Simpson was trying to hide regarding his actions on that infamous Sunday morning in
