O.J. murder knife found?

[rabidcatfan]

TMZ is reporting that a construction worker at the former OJ estate in 1998 found a folding buck knife buried on the property and turned it into a police officer. That police officer, because the case had been over for 3 years, kept the knife! Now, 18 years later, the knife has been turned into the L.A.P.D. who are actively running tests on the knife and looking for any potential DNA evidence remaining on it.

Talk about a weird turn of events. Hopefully, if its found to have Nicole Brown and/or Ron Goldman's DNA on it (unlikely since it is so old and was in the ground for years) this will finally convince the few people who still believe O.J. was innocent that he killed those people.

Hopefully these new developments will uncover the clues to who actually killed Nicole and Ron all those years ago.

But you never get closure. Not really.

Surprised OJ didn't strong arm rob the cop for his knife back.

2 dumb things...
1) OJ burying the murder weapon on his own property.
2) The police not finding it in the initial search. Overturned dirt and metal detectors, etc.

The house has been torn down. He could have concealed it in the structure. If it exist, it might have turned up in the demolition.

He will not stand trial again due to double jeopardy.

With the criminal jury, they would have believed it was planted.

 

[BigBlueDave_rivals76951]

At this point I don't get why OJ just doesn't come out and admit he did it. Can't really punish him for it. Everyone knows he did. I mean...

He did release his book "If I Did It" so...

 

[legalbeagle123]

Would be interesting to know if there is another offense he could be charged with like tampering with physical evidence. Don't know anything about California penal code or if statutes of limitations would bar prosecution.

 

[BigBlueDave_rivals76951]

was gonna release it, and then it was pulled. Only a small number of people have ever been able to read it.

That case was the perfect example of what you can do when you have some good lawyers and can play the race card. It was the equivalent of "Hey, hey, hey look over here. Look over here. Never mind what this case is about, I'm gonna talk about things that have nothing to do with the case."

An entire group of people just turned off their brains on that one.

South Park nailed it.

 

[BigBlueDave_rivals76951]

well I'll be damned. Just watched a documentary on OJ a couple weeks ago that talked about the book and OJ's lawyers convincing him to pull it at the time. The things ya learn.

OJ tried to profit from their murders so the Goldman's re-released it to get some restitution from the civil damages.

They also claimed the evidence of that moment had been mishandled and compromised... so, after all this time, they'd surely say that about this knife, too.

One report said the guy was looking to sell it--- but was found out, and ordered to give it up as evidence to the authorities.

They could try him for perjury though, right? That's what they did against Mel Ignatow in the 80s after he killed his girlfriend but was found not guilty only for them to find pictures of him doing it, stuffed in the walls of his home.

Wait. OJ never testified, did he?

The jurors were never going to find him guilty to begin with.

He testified in the civil trial. Perjury is a very difficult crime to prove. Almost has to be a 100%, absolute no doubter. Not sure this new development would come close to that.

 

[starchief]

O J will probably die in prison. He has been at death's door for years now.

 

[H-D cat]

that's cool.

I don't know a single person that, today, believes he is/was innocent. Anyone that ever did has basically changed their minds.

The black community disagrees. According to this, 47% of African Americans still think he's innocent.

Twenty years later, the new CNN/ORC poll indicates there has been a turnaround in attitudes towards the former football star, with a majority of blacks (53%) now saying that the murder charges against Simpson were true. The ten percentage point margin between those who said the charges against Simpson were true and those who said they were not true was within the survey’s sampling error for African-Americans.

This poll says that 43% of blacks think he's innocent.

The trial was always about race, and remains that way to this day.

 

[KingOfBBN]

well then they're ****in stupid and only saying so because he's black. Simple as that.

One of the biggest differences in the cultures of whites and blacks. Not since the John Dillinger days, have whites glorified criminals. Today you will not see people taking up for criminals simply because of the color of their skin. We're all about throwing their asses in jail and if they were a POS, we don't care the slightest to see them get taken out for attacking a cop.

Now on the other hand, cities will burn, riots occur, businesses get destroyed and looted simply because the color of the criminal's skin.

This case was a total make-up for the Rodney King riots, which is proof that we can turn a simple domestic case of a husband and ex-wife murder, into a racial issue.

 

[Big_Blue79]

^ I'd say ignorant rather than stupid. How many know the details of the case?

 

[BigBlueDave_rivals76951]

He purchased this one shortly before the murders, but they couldn't link it. That didn't stop him from trying to sell it after acquittal for $5 million. I don't know if he got paid.

They never found the size 12 Bruno Magli shoes that left distinct bloody footprints at the crime scene. Only 300 were ever sold in the US. He said he never owned any.

They showed him wearing a pair from 9 months earlier.

That jury wasn't convicting him.

Doesn't hurt to have a jury whose totaled IQ was less than normal body temperature.

A very prominent black radio talk show host in Chicago believes that OJ was set up by them no good cracker-***-cracker cops

Yes because that's why OJ had cuts on his hands, had a volatile relationship with his ex and was on a high speed chase from the cops with a disguise ready to sport.

 

[UKserialkiller]

Just playing the devil's advocate here. I love the Juice and wish they'd let him out. Prison life is killing him.

I'm white.

Please do me a solid and stop speaking for me. Your sweeping generalizations are unimaginative and quite simply reiterative.

TIA.

 

[slick rick.ksr]

Killing with a knife is almost always a crime of passion accordIng to the law enforcement people I have talked to

 

[UKserialkiller]

Yep -- OJ is a very passionate man and, if anything, he loved Nicole too much.

Very very much. The only other time I saw love that strong was with Ike Turner

Oh yeah? What did you disagree with there? Was it that I said the white community doesn't idoloze or care about criminals because they share the same skin color? Do you idolize criminals as a white guy?

Are you disagreeing that a part of the black community makes criminals into saints? Are you serious? Is that why they built a memorial for Michael Brown in Ferguson? A guy who had just attacked and robbed a shop owner and then evidence proved he attacked a cop? Is that why they destroyed Baltimore over a career drug dealer (Freddie Gray) dying?

Just sit down.

The ironic thing, alot of black ppl know he did it but they feel him being innocent is some kind of in your face white man. What's funny is outside of actual skin color oj was pretty much white..he never gave anything back to the black community, all his friends were white, and was married and killed a white woman.

Review my statement.

I said your constant sweeping statements don't necessarily reflect the overall sentiment of the "fill in the blank" community.

I think I'll stand.

all his friends were white
