FBI Releases Nearly 500 Pages of O.J. Simpson Records
Following O.J. Simpson's death two months ago, the FBI has made public nearly 500 pages of documents related to him. The files mainly concern the 1994 criminal investigation into the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, with Simpson identified as a suspect.
Simpson always claimed innocence and was acquitted in the notable criminal trial. However, he was found responsible in a civil case and ordered to pay $33 million to the victims' families.
Focus on Forensic Evidence
The released records emphasize the analysis of forensic evidence, including fiber samples connected to the case. Significant attention is given to how the FBI investigated the purchase of size 12 Bruno Magli-style shoes, which were crucial to the trials.
An FBI expert testified during the criminal trial that Simpson's shoe size matched the bloody footprints found at the crime scene, linking them to the luxury Bruno Magli brand.
Simpson denied owning Bruno Magli shoes in his civil testimony, but photos emerged showing him wearing that brand. The files contain notes, photographs, and details about how the FBI contacted various stores that sold Bruno Magli footwear to trace the purchase.
