Criminal and Civil Trials Overview
Simpson consistently claimed his innocence and was acquitted in the widely publicized criminal trial. However, in a subsequent civil trial, he was found responsible for the deaths and ordered to pay $33 million to the victims' families.
Focus of FBI Records
- The documents emphasize forensic evidence, especially fiber samples from the crime scene.
- A significant portion details efforts to trace purchases of Bruno Magli-style size 12 shoes, a key element in the case.
Shoe Evidence
An FBI expert testified during the criminal trial that the bloody shoeprints left at the murder scene matched Simpson’s shoe size and linked to the luxury Bruno Magli brand.
Despite this, Simpson denied ever owning Bruno Magli shoes in the civil trial. However, photos later emerged showing him wearing that brand.
