It proved that no matter whether or not you are guilty, you can win by going to court, especially when the jury is biased.

What was the Cost of OJ Simpson defense for murder?

It is estimated that OJ Simpson's lawyer made close to 12 million dollars for representing the ex-football player in his murder trial. OJ Simpson's trial was one of the most watched shows on television.


Was OJ Simpson a jealous person?

Jealous may not be the correct word. Of couse it was probably part of the emotion that went into the crime. The bigger part of it would most likely be control. He most certainly was controlling.Although for obvious reasons, the Simpson's felt it best to go their own ways, and OJ Simpson was in fact involved with someone else at the time of the murders, he could not let go of his control over his ex-wife. Ronald Goldman was just a victim of circumstance. He was more or less incidental, wrong place, wrong time.After the criminal trial and then the civil trial (in which Simpson was found guilty) Simpson continued to have serious problems with his relationships. One girlfriend had to call police because of physical abuse by Simpson. After that his own daughter had to also call 911 because her father was hitting her and being abusive.No matter the outcome of the criminal trial, Simpson has a problem that makes his living in any community difficult to impossible. I fear the day he has finished his prison sentence for armed robbery and is released once again on the world.

I did watched the legendary trial on tv. One thing I asked myself was, how can that be? Sometimes I thought that he did not, and sometimes I thought he did. The last thing I saw was that a serial killer did murder her.

Was OJ Simpson famous for killing some people was he guilty or not guilty?

Both. At his criminal trial the jury found him not guilty, not because they thought he was innocent but because they felt the prosecution did not prove their case. In criminal trials the jury can only return a guilty verdict if they felt that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In Simpson's case there must have been some doubt in their minds. Reguardless of all the physical and circumstantion evidence that the prosecution put forth at the trial, Simpson's attorneys put enough doubt in their minds. So he was in fact guilty of 2 murders but was found not guilty. At his second trial he was found responsible for the murders of his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman. At a civil trial a jury can decide guilt and it doesn't have to be beyond a resonable doubt, but just has to be probable and likely. And it was this civil trial that was Simpson's undoing. He was ordered by the judge to pay the Brown and Goldman families millions of dollars in damages. He tried to hide his assets so he wouldn't have to pay the damages. He stole at gun-point his collection of sports memorabilia so he could stash them where the court order would not be able to find them. He is now serving 9 to 25 years for armed robbery in a prison in Nevada.

Can evidence from one trial be used in another?

If the evidence is relevant in another trial, it can be used. The issue may be whether there should be a second trial at all. If it is a second trial with the same defendant there are issues of double jeopardy. If it is a second trial with a different defendant then the question arises whether the evidence is relevant. There can also be a civil trial following a criminal trial, in which case again the question is one of relevance. The most famous civil trial following a criminal trial is the OJ Simpson situation, and much evidence from the criminal trial was relevant to the civil lawsuit. See related links below.
