Who Is Oj Simpson Guilty For The Trial Of The Century

“Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were fatally stabbed on the evening of June 12, 1994, their bodies discovered early the next morning… O.J. Simpson, her ex-husband, was acquitted Oct. 3, 1995, of their deaths in a trial that riveted the nation and divided many along racial lines” (latimes.com editors). The trial faced many challenges during the time, it was even considered the “Trial of the Century” because it caused so much controversy. O.J. Simpson was an American Football player who ruined his career after the suspicions that he murdered his ex-wife and her friend and due to other crimes that occurred later. Many people believed the acquittal was caused because of racial views, which caused a division among the nation.

Simpson not guilty for the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, evidence discovered during, and after the trial, proves that there could have been different reasons for his acquittal. An abundant amount of evidence proves that O.J. Simpson should have ultimately been proven guilty for the murders.

It is stated in this quote that even with all the evidence that came up during the case Darden tried to focus more on the abusive relationship. He already knew that there was a generous amount of evidence proving Simpson guilty. However, he tried to target the information that others may have overlooked. There were many incidents that occurred before the murders that the prosecutors questioned. Before Nicole was murdered she told many friends and therapists that she thought O.J was going to kill her, and five weeks before her death she wrote how her will. This really does pose the question as to why O.J didn't ask how Nicole died when he got the call that she had been murdered. Nicole suffered a very abusive relationship with O.J. because there were many incidents where Nicole had been severely beaten. This is what caused the prosecutors to wonder why O.J. showed little emotion during the trial. Much of the evidence found caused
