The documents focus heavily on the investigation into the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman
In front of the On the 30th anniversary of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman and just two months after his death, the FBI released 475 pages of documents on OJ Simpson.
The documents, received from Rolling rockfocus heavily on the investigation into the 1994 murders of Simpson's ex-wife and her friend. The documents include information on forensic evidence, including blood found at the crime scene, fiber samples and hair samples from both Nicole Brown Simpson as well as from Goldman.
But a large portion of the documents focus on authorities' efforts to place Simpson at the crime scene by linking him to a pair of Bruno Magli-style shoes that an FBI expert testified were left behind at the crime scene. The records show the officer's efforts to prove that Simpson had bought a pair of size 12 shoes before the murder. At one point, according to the file, police flew to Italy to study a copy of the shoes, which were rare. The FBI also compiled a list of all Bruno Magli stores in the United States.
Simpson was charged with the murders but acquitted after a highly publicized trial. He was later found responsible for the deaths in a civil lawsuit brought by the families in 1997.
During the trial, police testified that OJ's shoe size matched the print found at the crime scene, but Simpson denied ever wearing a pair of Bruno Magli shoes.
