FBI Releases Nearly 500 Pages of O.J. Simpson Records
The FBI has published almost 500 pages of documents related to O.J. Simpson after his death two months ago. These files focus on the 1994 criminal investigation into the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, with Simpson identified as a suspect.
Criminal and Civil Trials
Simpson always maintained his innocence and was acquitted in the widely publicized criminal trial. However, he was later held liable for the deaths in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33 million in damages to the victims' families.
Focus on Forensic Evidence
The released records delve into the forensic analysis, including fiber samples found during the investigation. A significant part discusses the FBI's efforts to trace the purchase of size 12 Bruno Magli-style shoes, which played a crucial role as evidence.
An FBI expert testified during the criminal trial that Simpson's shoe size matched the bloody shoeprints found at the murder scene, linking them to the high-end Bruno Magli brand.
Simpson denied ever wearing Bruno Magli shoes during the civil trial, but photographs later emerged showing him wearing that brand.
