Ponder this:
1. Simpson did not testify at his criminal trial. Defense attorneys will almost always call as a witness an articulate client that they believe to be innocent.
2. Subsequent to the trial, defense attorneys talking about the trial were always careful to say “the jury did the right thing,” while not stating that Simpson was in fact innocent.
3. Subsequent to the trial, Simpson devoted no real effort to tracking down the “real killer,” nor has any significant evidence surfaced suggesting that the killer was anyone other than Simpson.
4. The jury was not allowed to hear testimony concerning Simpson’s rumored jailhouse confession to Rosie Grier.
5. Subsequent to the criminal trial other evidence of Simpson’s guilt surfaced. The most significant of the new evidence may have been photographs of Simpson wearing Bruno Magli shoes. Bloody shoe prints found near the crime scene were from a size 12 (OJ wore a size 12 shoe) Bruno Magli shoe. The new evidence, together with much of the evidence considered in the criminal trial, convinced a civil jury that Simpson murdered Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.
6. In his 2007 book, If I Did It, Simpson (for all intents and purposes) confessed. The book describes in detail events leading up to the moment of the murders.
