Summary Of The Truth About The Oj Simpson

The Truth About the O.J. Simpson Trail dives deep into the defense of O.J. Simpson in what was known as “The Trial of the Century”. The author, F. Lee Bailey, was a criminal defense attorney who took on O.J. Simpson’s case as the Architect of Defense. In this book, he recounts the exact events that took place from the night of the murder to Simpson’s trial. By writing this book, Bailey was able to further prove that O.J. Simpson was not guilty and argue that the jury made the correct verdict. I chose this book, because while I have always been interested in this trial, I believed that he was truly guilty. So, hearing an accurate breakdown from someone who experienced the inner workings of the case, could have the ability to change my perspective. …show more content…

By claiming that the police were just “so anxious” to arrest him makes it seem as if they had something against him in the first place, but he also had no real reason to think that they were there without a probable cause. Not to mention, once of his close friends, as mentioned before, Robert Shapiro, had called him and asked him to join his team. This alone makes me believe that even if Bailey did not actually believe he was not guilty, he would work on the case, defending Simpson, no matter the circumstances. When addressing how he was brought onto the case, he explained, “So when I received the call from my then-friend Robert Shapiro, who had been retained by Simpson as his attorney following his ex-wife’s tragic murder, I was happy to lend whatever advice or services might be beneficial”. When talking about the offensive, it was mostly about their mistakes, or poor choices, and they refused to touch on any good they might’ve done. While Bailey gave both sides of the story, I believe that he might’ve twisted it in some ways to make himself or his story seem superior. F. Lee Bailey’s The Truth About the

The OJ Simpson murder case was a criminal trial held at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, in which former NFL player OJ Simpson was tried on two counts of murder for the death of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman. He was found not guilty even though there were numerous counts of evidence that showed that OJ was the one who killed his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman. OJ Simpson should have been guilty of murdering Nicole because there was DNA evidence, he had dreams of killing Nicole Simpson, and jealousy could have been the motive that led him to kill Nicole. There was blood found at the crime scene that traced back to OJ’s DNA. Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor of the murder case, revealed that a blood drop found near the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman has been linked to OJ Simpson through RFLP testing - the highest level of DNA examination, commonly known as a genetic fingerprint.

After 28 years behind bars for a murder he did not commit, Lamar Johnson is now an exonerated man. In 1995, Johnson was charged with first-degree murder for the shooting of his friend, Markus Boyd. Over his two-day trial, the guilty verdict was determined by one key factor, a lone eyewitness; looking beyond inconsistencies within the case and taking word of mouth over investigative evidence, the jury’s ruling was decided in less than two hours. At just 21 years old, Johnson was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, leaving behind his girlfriend and two young daughters (Moriarty, 2024). Beginning the day of his incarceration, Johnson began to build a new case to reclaim his innocence, in a sense becoming his own lawyer

When on the topic of murder trials, one cannot help but imagine the poor moral values of the attorney defending the suspected evil doer, but we hardly ever wonder rather or not the attorneys are mentally effected themselves. More often than not, most attorneys can find themselves alone with the dark secrets of their wicked clients. This is due to a client’s right in the justice system known as the attorney-client privilege. The attorney-client privilege is the client’s right to refuse to disclose and to prevent any other person from disclosing confidential communications between the client and the attorney. One well known example of just how far this “privilege” can go is the murder case of Robert Garrow.

This situation was not just about the guilty vs. not guilty, good vs bad, but became about black vs. white. Some viewpoints about his guilt were split along the lines of racial background with “the whites who thought he was guilty haven’t budged an inch, and the blacks who thought he was not guilty haven’t budged an inch and no one’s mind has changed two decades” (Ogletree Jr.). The article in CBSNEWS by Tatiana Morales agrees with Ogletree’s article in that both believed that this trial drew a line between the races once the verdict was decided. She states that

Moments later, LAPD officers arrived on the scene alerting Simpson of the tragic murder. Due to the history of violence by Simpson towards Nicole, many had reason to believe that O.J. committed acts of cruelty leading to the famous trial of ‘The People versus O.J.
