Oj Simpson Forensic Case Study

Summary:

June 12, 1994 Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman were fatally stabbed. Nicole’s ex-husband O.J Simpson is the police’s prime suspect.

The direct evidence in this case is as follows:

Workers at a Women’s shelter said that Nicole called and reported that O.J was threatening and stalking her on June 7th 1994.

In 1989 there was an arrest record for O.J that included photos of bruises on Brown.

The circumstantial evidence is as follows:

Detective Mark Fuhrman drove over to Simpson's house to question him on the night of the murders. After getting no response when buzzing the intercom of the house he scaled one of the outer walls to enter the property. He found blood marks on the driveway of Simpson's home, as well as a black leather glove on the premises near the location of a bungalow.
