The double murder case of OJ Simpson is reviewed 30 years later. What the key players about the ‘evidence of the century’ say today.

30 years have passed since the “Century trial”, in which OJ Simpson He faced double murder charges for the sharp deaths of his ex -wife, Nicole BrownAnd his friend Ronald Goldman, but for the people involved, is something they have never been able to escape.

“In my obituary, they will say: ‘The racist detective dishonored in the OJ Simpson case,” said the former detective of the Los Angeles Police Department, Mark Fuhrman, in the new Netflix documentary American Manhunt: OJ Simpson, that is now transmitting.

Former prosecutor Christopher Darden, who worked with Marcia Clark, said he will always be remembered for ask .

“Christopher Darden and the glove, married together for all eternity,” said the lawyer in the series. “When I’m dying, I get rid of it with a couple of isotoner gloves.”

Kim Goldman, Ron’s sister, said he doesn’t want to talk about the case again, but feels to do it.

“It’s a vicious circle because I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to do this, ”he said. “But if not, my brother would not be part of that and that’s why I have to do it. And other victims and survivors, whether high profile or not, we have to continue doing this … to remind him that it was not only the murderer. My brother was just 25 years old and lost all his life because someone else thought they had the power to take it. ”

The project led by Floyd Russ, divided into four parts: “The Blood”, “The Search”, “The Circus” and “The verdict”, see these and other key players involved with the high profile case of the star of the star of the star of the star of the star of the star of the star of the star of the star of the Fallen football, which I went to trial in January 1995 and Infamous bronco chaseReflecting on what happened, now decades later. Former detective Tom Lange, Simpson’s lawyer, Carl E. Douglas, Kato Kaelin and Ron Shipp witnesses, Simpson agent, Mike Gilbert, and Jury Yolanda Crawford also give new interviews. Simpson deceased of cancer in 2024.

Docuseries gives a wide look at the period of time. The murders took place in June 1994, two years later Police officers who beat Rodney King were acquitted. Racial tensions were high when the trial began. In the “dream team” of Simpson’s lawyers was civil rights and the power of police brutality Johnnie Cochran, who was not afraid to play the so -called career card. In addition, DNA evidence was relatively new, it was first used in criminal cases in 1986.

The documentary analyzes how there was no shortage of evidence that would link Simpson with the murders. There was a bloody glove on the outskirts of Brown’s Brentwood Condo, where the murders took place, and one coinciding in the nearby farm of Simpson. Simpson had the same gloves style, once using them on television for side reports, as well as the Bruno Magli shoes that left bloody traces in the condominium. Simpson’s blood was found in the crime scene, and a mixture of his and the blood of the victims was found in his house and in his bronco. He had an hour and 10 minutes of time without counting the night of murders and wounds in his hands.

Simpson had also been previously convicted of domestic violence against Brown, who was 12 years his junior and for those who left his first wife. There were 911 recordings, in which Brown requested help, and a Safety box He left with newspapers and photos that document abuse. Friends and family declared that they witnessed abuse.

Docuseries analyze how there was even more evidence that it was not collected or did not become the trial. Fuhrman said he scored a fingerprint to the lange and Philip Vannatter detectives, who died in 2012, which was never recorded. He also said there was a box of knives in Simpson’s bathroom and elsewhere at the Rockingham farm, blood on a light switch in laundry and wet clothes in the washing machine that were not collected.

There were also witnesses that prosecutors never called to testify, like Skip Junis, who states in the document that saw Simpson throw a bag at the airport immediately after the murders. Jill Shllly said she saw Simpson run outside the crime scene in her Ford Bronco, but she sold her story to a tabloid, so prosecutors refused to use her as a witness.

The players also talked about all mistakes and omissions during the trial, such as Darden and the glove. To this day, he insists that “fits”, blaming the latex glove that Simpson had underneath. Criminalist Dennis Fung was also photographed collecting evidence in the crime scene without rubber gloves. Simpson’s own police interview, obtained after the Bronco pursuit, in which he made inconsistent statements, according to Lange, was not used at the trial.

However, Fuhrman’s participation in the case was ultimately his ruin. In the witness position, he was questioned about his story of using racist insults during his time at work, which he denied. The defense emerged recordings and other evidence of him using insults over and over again. He later evoked his privilege of the fifth amendment, even when asked if he planted or manufactured evidence.

Crawford, one of the jury members, said Simpson’s defense team, which also included Robert Shapiro, Robert Kardashian, F. Lee Bailey, Barry Scheck and Carl E. Douglas, created enough reasonable doubt about Fuhrman and Tests of manipulation of the police that led them not led them to condemn. The jury made his decision, after eight months of testimony, in less than a day.

Fuhrman, who later did not beg the perjury, was placed in the hot seat in the documentary, including the question if he considers himself racist.

“I can’t discuss the point,” he said. “I can’t undo what has been done. If someone says you are racist, I can’t argue with them … Do I like it? No. Do I try to beg people? ‘That is not me. Forgive me.’ No.”

Fuhrman was also asked if he planted the evidence and replied: “No, and that is the way he would have testified.” He called the accusation “absolutely ridiculous”, but “I can’t change” people’s minds. “It is what it is.”

Darden talked about being a black prosecutor arrested in the case during racially loaded times in a racially charged city. He was seen as a “file” rent, but insisted that he was good at his work. (“I hadn’t lost a serious crime case in 15 years … It was a beast,” he said). Darden said for families.

Lange, who recalled in his interview the brutality of the murders, with almost beheaded Brown and the extensive defense wounds of Goldman, is still frustrated with the result, although Simpson was later found. responsible for the deaths of Brown and Goldman In a civil case.

“DNA evidence in this case should have been enough to condemn someone,” he said. “We don’t overcome these things,” he added. “They don’t heal over time. This is forever. “

On the other hand, Douglas, part of the defense, celebrated the victory of his team and the freedom of Simpson, saying that the “jury did well” and that “he will sleep well every night” for “as I have done in recent 30 years “.
