On June 12, 1994, the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found dead in her home in Brentwood, California. Orenthal James Simpson, or OJ Simpson, was notified of their deaths and immediately taken into custody for questions. After various pieces of evidence were collected from the crime scene, all leads pointed to Simpson as the culprit of the double murder. The conclusion of Simpson's criminal trial resulted in his acquittal. The reasons for this acquittal were varied. The most prominent reasons include accusations of racism, contamination of evidence, and lack of confidence in DNA profiling. This article will discuss in depth the issues that occurred during the trial and propose an explanation and solution to resolve the issues so that the issues do not recur in the future due to lack of knowledge and learning from mistakes from previous cases such as this one. 1. The first issue, accusations of racism, played a central role in securing Simpson's innocence. Race appeared to have become the main issue in Simpson's murder trial rather than the deaths of the two victims. This infamous trial became the face and headline of the media in 1995. The public saw two white victims and one black defendant. According to author Stanley O. Gaines, Jr., many Caucasian citizens sided with LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman, and many black citizens sided with Simpson (Gaines 2001). The trial appears to have devolved into a race war rather than a criminal trial (Thenstrom & Fetter 1996). Caucasian citizens felt that Fuhrman was unfairly discredited due to allegations of being a bigot and African American citizens believed that Simpson's acquittal served as reparation for the injustice.
