BURIED KNIFE FOUND AT O.J.’S ESTATE. It’s being tested now. Could be the evidence that would have convicted O.J. (Knives don’t have to fit like gloves supposedly do).

He's gonna be all butt hurt if the knife has evidence to prove OJ used it on his ex and Goldman.
Since the Juice is doing some serious time for stealing his own memorabilia back, it's kind of a moot point. But the usual morons will be more then happy watch the shiny object.
He's still messing with somebody else's balls
This sounds like a very cruel joke...
Man, I don't know how that knife got there. . . I gave it to my wife years ago!
Face palm!
The real killer must have buried the knife at OJ's in an attempt to frame him.
Yeah--probably that Mark Furman guy. He was the leader of the conspiracy to frame OJ you know. Just ask Johnny Cochran.
Good grief, the Los Angeles Police Department just cannot seem to stop embarrassing itself. This knife was found years ago? Seriously? And the stupid dumbass cop took it home and was going to frame it and put it on his wall? Incredible stupidity. If there's a lawyer in this place, I'd love to know whether the knife could even be used as evidence at this point. Somehow I doubt it.
Actually, if there is new evidence, they can retry the case. Double jeopardy doesn't preclude you from entering new evidence.
I am sorry but that makes no sense to me. If you cannot be retried new evidence should not be an issue... weird.
I was always under the impression that they could reopen a trial if new evidence came to light, but now, from what I have seen on the hews, I was wrong. I think that's wrong, because if there is suddenly proof that you killed someone, why should you be allowed to be free? The thing is, if there is new evidence that you are not guilty, they can reopen the trial, so the law seems to only favor the criminals.
Must have been written by Democrats.
Even though it is something that can be abused by someone, I feel that the double jeopardy laws makes sense and it is appropriate.
People shouldn't have to be dealing with the same crime again and again once found not guilty. People who hate someone or who really believe the person is guilty, but not because of actual facts can entrap an innocent person and the person gets sent to prison for something he or she didn't do. I think it is good to err on that side.
OJ DID get a fair trial. The judge was stupid and the prosecution failed to prove their case. Perhaps the jury was not 100..., but again the burden was on the state even to get the right jury so they are the ones with the biggest failure.
However, he really never was seen as an innocent person in the eyes of the world, he did loose the civil trial if I remember correctly and after a decade of being free he himself got imprisoned.
The judges and lawyers interviewed say that murders where the guilty party is not found (no one is found guilty) remain open for ever... If SOMEONE else is found to be the perpetrator of the crime, all evidence new and old can be used for his or her trial. HOWEVER the person that already went through a trial and was found not guilty by a jury or judge CANNOT be retried for the crime again EVEN if new evidence comes along that proves without the shadow of a doubt that, that person committed the crime.
In cases like that, it is perhaps "wrong", but however an enraged Father or police officer or vigilante, who doesn't agree with the verdict can create "evidence" and plant it and if the person is not guilty that is not a good thing. All in all though I believe in G-D so I know that justice may tarry but when it comes it is swift and satisfactory... and isn't he in prison right now? Of course not because of the murder, but he is after all in prison and in many ways he has been imprisoned in his own mind and by society, by the fact that everyone knows he murdered his wife and her friend.
True, but I and I'm sure, the Browns and Goldmans would like it if he had been convicted for the murders.
If this means anything, when the whole thing started, I was certain that OJ was innocent. I couldn't believe that he would do such a thing. It took a lot to convince me that he was guilty.
I think he lost the civil trial as well, but not sure he was paid the Goldmans any money (not sure if the Browns sued too). But as far as a civil trial he was found culpable if I recall correctly.
Won't matter they can't retry him (double jeopardy)
Agreed. Also, even if they could get around that (and they can't unless the ignore the Constitution--wait that's another post for another thread) the "chain of custody" has been lost/broken because the "off duty" cop kept it all these years.
Yeah, the double jeopardy thing is routinely ignored now. They just bring in the feds, change the charges to something else, and try people again. Instead of murder it would be "depriving the dead person of her civil rights" or some such nonsense.
The scary thing is you may be right. Some new, hotshot federal prosecutor wanting to make a name for him/herself could try it.
and there will go a couple more million taxpayer dollars to the lawyers..... which is what the legal system is all about anyway. Then of course the appeal, the appeal of the appeal, the re-trial, the appeal of that decision, etc, etc, $$$$$$$$$$$
