Criminal TrialBackground:The background of the relationship between OJ Simpson and Nicole is that in the beginning they were just friends who met for the first time while Nicole was a waitress. When they first met she was also 17 years old. OJ Simpson had met Nicole at the time while he was still married to a woman named Marguerite. Marguerite and OJ Simpson divorced after their baby Aaren drowned in the family pool a month before his second birthday. Nicole and OJ Simpson married in 1985 after a couple of years of secretly dating. During their marriage Nicole suffered domestic violence from her husband, she said. OJ Simpson denies ever physically beating her. In 1989 Nicole filed a complaint against OJ Simpson for domestic abuse. They separated and subsequently filed for divorce in 1992. The Investigation: On June 12, 1994, at approximately 10:00 pm that Sunday evening, a male entered the rear entrance of Nicole's apartment building. When the altercation broke out the shooter is alleged to have slashed Nicole's neck and then proceeded to stab her in the neck and head approximately 30 times. The bodies of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman were found stabbed to death outside her apartment building in the Brentwood area of ​​Los Angeles. Alan Park was a limousine driver for the Simpson family. Alan Park was ordered to drive OJ Simpson to his house, but was late the day Nicole Brown was murdered (late by about 30 minutes). Park had observed a man matching OJ Simpson's description walking toward the Simpson residence (black person, six feet, 200 pounds). Alan Park had called OJ but he hadn't answered. A few minutes later he saw OJ and described him as a "sweaty mess." OJ claimed that he had overslept and had simply taken a shower. The Pro... in the middle of the paper... disorganized, investigators and prosecutors failed to prove that OJ was guilty. The police had mishandled the evidence, a crucial aspect in the trial. And there was only one credible witness who was present at the scene but did not see OJ's face at all. In the civil trial I observed that there was more justice. Although OJ would not serve time in prison, he was awarded $33.5 million in punitive damages. In the civil trial there had to be a 50% chance that OJ committed the crime, which was proven by the plaintiffs in the civil court. Finally, in the custody trial between the parents of Nicole Brown and OJ Simpson, the Brown family could not prove that OJ was an unfit father without using evidence that he killed Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman. The judge was not allowed to admit the criminal evidence. This led to the Browns family losing the custody battle.
