*LAPD spokesman Andrew Neiman said on Friday they were conducting tests on a knife that was claimed to be found on a property owned by O.J. Simpson at the time he was accused and later acquitted of two murders 21 years ago.
Although the knife would be tested for DNA evidence, Neiman added it was possible that “the whole story is bogus from the get-go.”
Neiman declined to name the retired police officer or to say why the knife had only come to light last month.
Simpson’s ex-wife and Goldman were stabbed multiple times in the neck and head but the murder weapon was never found at the time of the nine-month trial that ended in 1995 with Simpson’s acquittal.
As previously reported, the knife was turned over in the last month by a retired police officer who said he obtained it from someone working on a construction site at the property.
Simpson cannot be prosecuted again for the two murders because that would constitute double jeopardy.
It is amazing that people are still making money off of O.J.
His case has put more people’s sons and daughters through college, paid off mortgages, and bought more boats docked at Marina Del Rey than a little bit.
I covered the O.J. trial as a TV cameraman, and aside from the trial of the cops that beat Rodney King within inches of his life, and the riots that followed, there was never more overtime doled out by the networks on any other story during my 30 year career.
The Juice made TV stars out of liars, I mean lawyers who became network anchors, and “correspondents.” Even racist, lying ass Mark Fuhrman is on the air at Fux.
O.J. Simpson, the gift that keeps on giving…
Simpson cannot be prosecuted again for the two murders because that would constitute double jeopardy.
So why they testing it?
Not that it will make any difference either way. We already know the test will come back with some planted DNA. That’s what the whole prosecution was based on. Planted blood evidence.
