  • Oj Simpson Case Essay

    I think there is more evidence proving his innocence than his guiltiness. The corruption in this case and the racism in the LAPD helped the defense show that there was not enough evidence to prove that OJ was guilty. There are many reasons why I think OJ is innocent, but the piece of evidence that I think is most important is that all of OJ’s blood at the crime scene contained EDTA. EDTA is something that is put in test tubes with blood to prevent blood clots. EDTA is not found naturally in people's blood, which means someone had to have planted OJ’s blood at the scene.

    I believe that OJ Simpson is not responsible for the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman, and instead his son, Jason Simpson, was the culprit. While I do not believe OJ to be the perpetrator, I have hypothesized that he was still at the scene of the crime, however, he was not present until after the acts were committed. If there is any conceivable explanation for OJ’s abnormal behavior after the murders, other than that he killed the two victims, it is that he knew that his son had killed Nicole Brown Simpson and wanted to protect him. Jason, who was 24 at the time of the murders, most likely committed the acts in a rage killing.
