FBI Releases Nearly 500 Pages of O.J. Simpson Records
The FBI has made public nearly 500 pages of documents related to O.J. Simpson following his death two months ago. These records focus on the criminal investigation of the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, with Simpson named as a suspect.
Simpson always maintained his innocence and was acquitted in the criminal trial. However, a civil trial later found him liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33 million to the victims' families.
Focus on Forensic Evidence and Shoe Print Analysis
The released FBI records emphasize the forensic evidence examined during the investigation, including fiber samples. A significant portion is dedicated to efforts tracking the purchase of Bruno Magli-style size 12 shoes, a critical piece in Simpson's trials.
An FBI expert testified that Simpson's shoe size matched the bloody shoeprints discovered at the murder scene, which were linked to the high-end Bruno Magli brand.
Simpson denied wearing Bruno Magli shoes in the civil trial. Nevertheless, photos surfaced showing him wearing the brand, contradicting his testimony.
Investigation Details on Shoe Purchase
The documents include FBI notes, photographs, and the agency's attempts to connect Simpson to the purchase of the shoes by reaching out to many stores that sold Bruno Magli footwear.
"The FBI sought to connect Simpson to a purchase by contacting numerous stores that sold Bruno Magli shoes."
