“claimed”
It was clever of the “mobster” to leave O.J.’s blood and the incriminating bloody gloves and almost unique shoe prints!
At that time, there were many rumors about who did the killing. One of the suspects was one of OJs sons. This son had a reputation for violent, bizarre behavior. The assumption was that OJ had decided to steer suspicion away from the young man and bear the brunt of the murders himself. OJs daughter probably knows the true story. She and her brother have learned to keep a low profile and stay out of the news. Last I saw of her in photos, she had piled on a tremendous amount of weight.
Simpson family trying to clean-up & re-write OJ's legacy - it ain't happening.
Demonstrates OJ’s frugality in that he saved money by doing the job himself.
If I were to hire a hitman to off my ex, I would not want to be anywhere near the crime scene to aid in my deniability. (Lucky for both of us, I am a Christian and also too poor to hire the mob to do anything.) This story makes no sense.
The Gambino family ain't gone because a couple of broken nose hit men are dead.
If this "writer" doesn't wake up, and a horse head is in his bed, I might believe it.
Too much drama for me.
Italian gangsters are not fictional honor-bound archetypes found in the Godfather movies - they are vicious sociopaths recounted in Nicholas Pileggi’s Wiseguy, on the life and times of Henry Hill. OJ was no dummy - he would have known that they have have squeezed him dry if he hired them. That’s apart from the absurdity of being at the scene of the crime. The whole point of hiring someone is to lay off blame.
O.J. Did it.
A “mobster” that wears size 14 Bruno Magli shoes. Okay.
Four gangsters and OJ at the scene?…….seems there would have been multiple and different size shoe prints.
Total nonsense. Simpson’s actions in the week following the murders speak volumes. Sorry O.J., you’re a double murderer.
Bull…
Mob hits don’t go down by knifing two people to death in a sloppy way.
AND.. it would be a very stupid thing to do a high profile celebrity hit for no reason other than OJ didn’t want his ex having relationships.. No way would they bother with that.
And should a mob do something stupid like that, they’d be extorting OJ for the rest of his life.
Didn’t happen. OJ did it, which is why he ran in the first place.
All of the fumbling of evidence, by LAPD, opened avenues for reasonable doubt. Including the avenue: LAPD detectives corrupting, forging, nudging the evidence.
Plus, the following, did not help the prosecution:
Thursday, September 7, 1995:
Roanoke Times / AP
Detective Mark Fuhrman was called back to the witness stand Wednesday [09/06/1995] and was asked point blank whether he planted evidence against O.J. Simpson. He refused to answer, invoking his Fifth-Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Forensics at the OJ Simpson Trial
Evidence Collection
From the beginning, there were issues involving evidence collection. An important bloody fingerprint located on the gateway at Nicole Brown's house was not properly collected and entered into the chain of custody when it was first located. Although it was documented in his notes by Detective Mark Fuhrman, one of the first to arrive on the scene, no further action was taken to secure it.
The detectives who took over Fuhrman's shift apparently were never aware of the print and eventually, it was lost or destroyed without ever being collected. Other items of evidence were also never logged or entered into the chain of custody, which gave the impression that sloppy forensic collection had been carried out at the scene.
Securing the Evidence
Throughout the investigation, there were issues with how evidence was secured. There was about 1.5 mL of O.J. Simpson's blood assumed missing from a vial of evidence. The LAPD could not counter the idea of "lost blood" because there was no documentation of how much reference blood was taken from Simpson as evidence. The person who drew the blood could only guess he had taken 8 mL; only 6 mL could be accounted for by the LAPD.
To add to the problem, the blood was not immediately turned over as evidence but was carried around for several hours before it was entered into the chain of custody, allowing for speculation of when and how the 1.5 mL of blood may have disappeared.
The security of LAPD storage and labs was also brought under scrutiny when it was discovered that some pieces of evidence had been accessed and altered by unauthorized personnel. Simpson's Bronco was entered at least twice by unauthorized personnel while in the impound yard; Nicole Simpson's mother's glasses had a lens go missing while it was in the LAPD facility.
Ball onie
Naa the same Gambino gangsters that killed Jimmy Hoffa same story different persons they are all a like.
When OJ first came on the scene as an athlete, there were stories written about his life and how he left his ghetto past. He had grown up in a gang and was famous for fighting with two knives, one in each hand. Hard to defend against if the attacker is as powerful as OJ was.
Hadn’t read of this since ‘70 or so, so I guess it was just plain forgotten about. Sure explains a lot, though, doesn’t it?
Pretty clever of the gangsters to wear size 12 Bruno Magli shoes for the murder, the very same kind OJ wore.
Nowadays, you can always find an ex-mobster willing to say anything for a buck.
So much for the “code of silence.”
