Abstract
In June 1994, football legend O.J. Simpson was charged with the double murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her acquaintance, Ron Goldman. Despite vast amounts of evidence linking Simpson to the crime scene he was ultimately acquitted, at least in part, because of police negligence in handling the investigation. This paper traces the events surrounding the murders and subsequent investigation to show how the L.A.P.D. failed to provide key evidence and allowed doubts to arise over the credibility of physical evidence it had gathered.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the O.J. Simpson case in which Simpson was put on trial for the murder of his ex-wife. The writer provides a summary of the case and then discusses that today, 11 years after the case ended, the debate over Simpson's innocence or guilt continues. The writer notes that Simpson, a college football star, has moved on with his life. However, his reputation haunts him. The writer comments that, throughout the trial and even now, people around the world have conflicting and strong opinions about whether or not Simpson is guilty. The writer points out that some say he looked guilty and displayed behavior that is commonly associated with abusive husbands and privileged celebrities, however, others truly believe that he is an innocent victim of a racist system. The writer concludes that regardless of whether Simpson is guilty or innocent, he is a free man.

Guilty or Not?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The prosecution seemed to have a strong case at first, as Simpson had a clear motive, an opportunity and no alibi. He had a history of physically abusing and harassing Nicole and had made violent threats against her. The prosecution proved that he had recently bought a knife similar in size and shape to what was believed to be the murder weapon. Finally, it was believed that Simpson dropped the bloody gloves, one at the crime scene and one at his home, and that he wore shoes the same size as those found at the crime scene."
"The defense case was not nearly as strong. There were no witnesses to the crime and no actual murder weapon could be found. However, the defense argued that Simpson was framed by police officers and found numerous flaws in the police evidence. They argued that Simpson was as a black victim of a white judicial system, on trial simply because he was a black man and the victim was a white woman."

The O.J. Simpson Trial, 2002.

Abstract
This paper gives a brief insight of how the murder of the wife of ex-football-star-turned announcer caught the country's full attention in 1995. It examines some of the evidence leading to his arrest and provides some incriminating facts that the jury did not have access to during the trial and discusses how Simpson was eventually released. It evaluates how the schism between the races still exists and how televised criminal cases and media-hype can cripple the justice system in America.
From the Paper
"None of this evidence is circumstantial. It was incriminating evidence that pointed to a killer. By law, it was all hard evidence that would have resulted in the conviction of any one else by the justice system. However, the fact that O.J. was a celebrity and the fact that the trial was moved out of Santa Monica were contributing factors to a non-guilty decision.
Unfortunately, too many things went wrong in Simpson's favor and he got off Scott-free. If the LAPD had conducted a full interrogation, if Mark Fuhrman had not lied on the witness stand about his use of the "n" word and if Cochran hadn't played the "race" card so well, justice would have prevailed in this case."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the O.J. Simpson trial, where former football star, O.J. Simpson, was accused of murdering his wife and then found innocent of the charges, and the Scott Petersen trial, where Petersen was accused of murdering his wife and unborn child and subsequently found guilty of the charges. The paper analyzes the two trials, looks at why the verdicts of the two juries were different, and describes what the author of the paper believes to be weaknesses in the U.S. judicial system.
From the Paper
"The Scott Peterson trial has provoked as much debate around America as OJ Simpson's trial did a few years ago. The similarities between the two cases are remarkable. However, there are also important differences: OJ caught his wife with her lover, while Scott Peterson killed (or so it would seem) his pregnant wife to be with his mistress. They both committed a double murder, but the decisions of the two juries were opposite. This fact was caused by multiple factors."

From the Paper
"This research paper examines how the evidence in this case was used by the jury to find the defendant, O. J. Simpson, not guilty. The predominantly black and female jury took less than four hours to arrive at its verdict. Such a speedy decision appeared to many to be strange behavior after a case which took nine months to try and involved 1015 pieces of evidence, 45,000 pages of transcript and scores of witnesses (Behind 27). This led many observers to conclude that the jury had ignored a 'mountain of evidence' against Simpson and had voted to acquit based on its emotional biases and external perceptions unrelated to the evidence. A more accurate interpretation would be that the jury made up its mind before it began its deliberations and found that a reasonable doubt existed as to Simpson's guilt, largely because..."

From the Paper
Examines components of effective business writing, assessment criteria and the need for and techniques of teaching college students to write intelligently and effectivelyThe real winners were the television stations, book authors, and reporters who turned the case into a media gold mine. Perhaps the most lasting social effect of the trial was the revelation of racial differences in thinking in America.
The O.J. Simpson criminal case had all the ingredients that tabloid journalists crave. Simpson was, of course, a celebrity. In addition, he was attractive, as were the murder victims. Spicing up the case were the added, forbidden elements of race and sex: "America's dirty little secret--the obsession with race and sex that had haunted the nation since the days of slavery and ..."

From the Paper
"Glenn, Brown, and O'Leary (1998) conducted an experimental study to find and develop crops which could be irrigated by seawater. As the population of the earth increases, the production of food becomes more and more of a problem in order to feed this growing number of people. One of the specific problems facing agriculturalists is the need for water. Fresh water is needed not only for irrigation but also for other human activities, and there is no process that is effective enough at desalinization to provide the volume of water human beings need. The authors also note that the top five plants eaten by people cannot tolerate salt, and these are wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and soybeans. Since finding enough land and water to produce the foods needed by the world is an urgent problem, the authors ask how the supply of food can be augmented. They answer that one ..."

Abstract
This paper examines the trial of O.J. Simpson for the murder of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman. The paper uses legal terms to define murder, examines the life of O.J. Simpson and his relationship with his wife, Nicole Brown. Using several books written by the major figures in the case, Marcia Clark, Robert Shapiro and Daniel Petrocelli the paper examines the evidence, standards set by both the defense and prosecution, as well as the actual conduct of the criminal trial in order illustrate why he was not found guilty. The civil suit brought against O.J. Simpson by the Brown family is also examined briefly.
From the Paper
"The defense contended that all of this blood evidence was contaminated and/or planted by racists in the LAPD. (CNN.com) But even if Mark Fuhrman is a racist, this does not mean he planted evidence. And even if he did plant the alleged evidence, the fingerprint, this does not make the rest of the evidence pointing to Simpson go away. (Clark 482) The police had no access to Simpson?s blood to plant. ?This was preposterous? All of the blood was observed by investigators before Simpson returned to Chicago. As far as the glove was concerned, not one of the many officers at the crime scene ever saw a second glove there. Hence, there was no second glove to pick up and plant.? Not is there any evidence that anything happened to ruin the blood during the police?s procedures for collecting and testing it."

Life Course Theory, 2005.
This paper discusses the sociological question of Life Course Theory in relation to the trial of O.J. Simpson.

Abstract
In this paper, the writer describes that O.J. Simpson appears to provide a Life Course Theory assessment when describing the physical abuse that he allegedly had with his wife. The writer suggests that the changing life course of Simpson throughout his career in the highly physical and violent sport of football, may have been transferred onto his wife. In this manner, one may subjectively define Simpson's behaviors in violence as pathological and may have ultimately led to the murder of Nicole Simpson. The writer explains that this is how and why Life Course Theory may be applicable to the Simpson trial in this sociological scope.
From the Paper
"The courtroom drama that was the O.J. Simpson case presents a case for a Life Course Theory, since Simpson had been abusive since early adulthood. In this manner, the course of Simpson's identity, if he were presumed guilty, would have been an association with his physical identity as a major football star. The constant state of physical and violent interaction with other men brought about changing affectations to Simpson, as he had abused his wife on repeated occasions before the Nicole's murder. In this manner, the related events of Simpson's violent and aggressive behaviors that involved his career, also applied in relation to the escalating violence that applied over a period of time toward his wife."

A book report and analysis of Thomas R. Marshall's "Public Opinion and the Supreme Court".
