HERE ARE SOME OF THE MAIN REASONS I FEEL O. J. IS INNOCENT:
1. His demeanor during and after the murders; after learning of the murders and during the whole course of this trial.
2. His actions after learning of the murders, particularly his rush to get home, leaving the golf bag in Chicago.
3. His willingness to give the police an interview without his attorney present; to give a blood sample; and his defense of the presence of firearms in the Bentley. Why would he be so willing to give blood samples? Why was he ignorant of the murder weapon, or the blood on the Bronco?
4. His general character and his situation before the murders. His children and family have stood by him. Most of his friends have done the same. The ones who haven't seem to be out for the money and notoreity. He continued to contribute to the poor neighborhood in which he was raised long after gaining success. He contributed to many charitable causes. He was also very charitable to his in-laws who all turned against him, with the exception of his mother-in-law, before he had a chance to defend himself. Yes, he had physical conflicts with Nicole, but their's was a mutually physical relationship, and he was not a habitual abuser. His first wife stated that OJ had never abused her in all their years of marriage. OJ had everything going for him. His career and finances were going great. He was always very busy. He had other romantic interests, and a loving family and children. He had no motive to commit these murders.
5. How could OJ, suffering from both OA and RA, and having multiple major surgeries on his knees, kill two younger, fit persons without showing visible signs of a struggle? Both Maltz and Huizenga diagnosed OJ as having both RA and OA and no witnesses were presented refuting their claims. The lymph node surgery and medication given in jail confirm this. OJ was unable to even curl a 20lb. sandbag, or to shuffle cards on the day of the murders, how could he dispatch two people who worked out regularly with barely a scratch? If you look at the two bodies they are covered with wounds, and they show strong evidence of hard fought struggles. The knife cut in Goldman's shoe; the bruises on his knuckles, and the blood under Nicole's fingernails all point to them having injured their killers.
6. Suffering from arthritis, OJ would never have chosen a knife as the murder weapon, especially with guns around the house. In almost all instances of domestic homicide in which a gun is available, the murder is commited with a gun. It doesn't matter whether the cases are premediated or not. In OJ's case he had even more reason to use a firearm. Even if OJ were to plan a murder with a knife, he would never select tight fitting gloves like Isotoners as they would have made a firm grip very difficult. Golf gloves are much better designed for this purpose.
7. No evidence was found in OJ's possession, or in the limo, on the plane, in Merril's vehicle, in the hotel, or on any of the autographs or bags. All the evidence was collected from areas, or on items, that the police and lab personnel had easy access to for tampering. Where are is the murder weapon(s), the bloody clothes and shoes?
8. OJ's alibi must stand. No reliable witnesses can dispute it. No one saw OJ leave his house, in his Bronco, or at the scene. All we have is OJ's statements and the testimony of Rosa Lopez who stated that the Bronco was still there after 10pm. The murders could have been commited between about 9:50 to shortly before 12:15, so for more than half that time, OJ had an airtight alibi. Nobody in their right mind would have planned a murder with the time remaining. Would anyone go to murder someone with less than an hour to go before having to catch a flight? OJ never called the house to make sure NBS was there and didn't have the family over. What would he do if the children walked out after the murder was committed? How would he be able to dispose of the evidence? What about all the things, including himself, that would have to be cleaned up? He could not be sure that the limo driver would not see him return and park the Bronco because there is no way he could know exactly when the limo would arrive.
9. OJ had not engaged in any activity in the months, weeks, days or hours prior to the murder that suggests he was planning a murder, was violent toward Nicole, or was even angry with Nicole. The testimony of Denise Brown, Steve Garvey's ex, et al was impeached by the video taken after the recittal, and by the testimony of a number of defense witnesses. There was no evidence that OJ had struck, harassed or even had a serious argument with Nicole in the months leading up to the murder. The attempt at reconciliation was initiated by Nicole not OJ.
10. OJ was trying to call and see Paula that night. Why? If he were obsessed with killing Nicole why would he being trying to contact Paula, and later Gretchen Stockdale? Why go out for burgers with Kato. Shouldn't he have been trying to contact Nicole?
11. OJ would have been better off using the Bentley: it was smaller, darker, quieter and had tinted windows. If he did use the Bronco, he should have parked inside the gate.
12. OJ would not have left the residence with the door and the front gate wide open and his children in the house.
13. I found it doubtful OJ would have committed the murder with the children in the house.
14. OJ would not have let Kato the dog run loose through the neighborhood.
15. Kato's constant barking even after the murders suggest strangers were at the house.
16. The wet blood on Kato's legs when Schwab saw him at about 10:55 suggests that he had recently left the scene (within 5 minutes). Unless he stayed at the house for over 5 minutes after the murders had ended, the killings would have taken place before 10:45 and the thumps heard by Kato.
17. Given the timeline, OJ had no opportunity to dispose of the evidence if he was the killer. The idea that OJ threw the evidence away at the airport seems preposterous, and there is no evidence of this.
18. OJ's bags were never searched or collected by the police, suggesting they knew there was nothing to be found in them.
19. No Bruno Maglis or Aris Isotoners similar to those used in connected with the murders were collected from OJ's residence. There is no evidence that OJ owned either of these types of apparel. The exception on the shoes is the famous photos which could have been fakes--even the FBI photo expert admitted HE could not be 100 percent sure ANY photo had been tampered with, considering today's advanced technology. A family friend, Tom McCollum, came forward and said Nicole had given him gloves as a gift at the same time Nicole had purchased gloves at Bloomingdales in New York.
20. No cuts were seen on OJ's outer knuckle on his trip to Chicago. OTH, the cut was seen when he was returning to LA.
21. The gloves worn by OJ in the videos and photos were bunched up near the wrists and often had bulges similar to those made by hand warmers. The supposed murder gloves were too small for OJ, and were likely bought by Nicole. There is no evidence she ever gave them to OJ, and another pair of brown Aris gloves were recovered from OJ's which might be the pair shown in the exhibits.
22. EVIDENCE OF TAMPERING WITH THE SOCK:
a. No blood spotted until six weeks after collection despite repeated examinations. Drs. Lee and McDonnel testify that the blood should have been seen.
b. Blood has 1,350 nanograms of DNA; more than all the rest of the evidence and comparable to a reference sample despite the fact that it was not preserved and subject to repeated examination.
c. Evidence of EDTA from preserved blood was found on the sample.
d. Evidence was presented of wet transfer stains on the third surface of the sock, inconsistent with a transfer at the murder scene, OR with a foot in the sock.
e. Strap evidence on video suggest socks were moved.
23. EVIDENCE OF TAMPERING WITH THE REAR GATE:
a. Blood not seen for three weeks after the murder, and after the crime scene had been torn down, despite being in a place that should have been placed under the strictest examination.
b. Levels of DNA significantly higher than stains that were collected three weeks earlier and preserved.
c. EDTA for a preserved sample.
d. Levels of EDTA similar to that found on the sock, despite supposedly being exposed to sunlight, metal and paint for three weeks.
24. EVIDENCE OF TAMPERING WITH THE BRONCO:
a. Fuhrman spots near invisible spot of blood near bottom of door while it is still dark and with only a tiny flashlight.
b. Fuhrman spots bloodstain on part of door that can only be seen with door open. He claimed that he never opened the door.
c. Certain blood stains discovered very late in the investigation were not seen by a number of witnesses who searched specifically for these stains.
25. EVIDENCE OF TAMPERING WITH THE GLOVE:
a. Highly unlikely and suspicious placement of one glove at the murder scene under a plant and the other at OJ's residence.
b. No trail leading to glove suggesting it was brought their by Fuhrman.
c. Fuhrman states glove at Bundy appeared moist. The blood would have already been long dried unless Fuhrman had stained them with some wet blood from a pool of blood or under one of the bodies. As long as the blood is protected from air it stays moist.
d. Fuhrman lied about the time the picture was taken of him and the glove at Bundy. He stated that it was taken at about 7:30 while it was clearly still very dark out. Sunrise was at 5:41. There were actually two pictures taken, according to the LAPD photographer, Rokhar: one in the dark at about 4:00 a.m., and a second at around 7:00 to 7:30 a.m. in the daylight.
26. OTHER EVIDENCE SUGGESTING TAMPERING:
a. Fuhrman's racial hatred and statements that he planted evidence before.
b. Statements by Fuhrman that other officers had also planted evidence and had commited other misconduct.
c. The LAPD's illegal entry onto OJ's property.
d. Vannater's lies in getting the search warrant, and for his reason on going to OJ's.
e. The fact that Bruno Maglis and Aris Isotoners are perfect plants because they are rare and easily traced to the defendant, but highly unlikely items to be chosen for commiting a murder.
27. OTHER SIGNIFICANT POINTS:
a. Heidstra heard two male voices that night, but he heard no screaming, yelling or fighting after that, he did hear what he thought might be an argument between the two men but he wasn't sure whether they were arguing. He then heard a gate slam. This all took place in about 15 seconds. This suggest that the murders had already ended and that their were two male murderers who had just left the scene. Otherwise, we have to assume that OJ killed Goldman in less than 15 seconds (over 33 stab wounds, and other assorted wounds).
b. Nine identiable but unidentifed prints were found, many outside in the front of the house.
c. Unmatched blood was found under NBS's fingernails, on her thigh and on the steering wheel in the Bronco.
d. An unidentified Caucasian hair was found on one of the gloves.
e. Sydney Simpson heard hear mother crying and "Mommy's best friend" but never her father.
f. OJ denied committing the murders twice in court, and he is the most believable person that has yet appeared in court.
