FBI Releases Nearly 500 Pages of O.J. Simpson Records

The FBI has made public nearly 500 pages of documents related to O.J. Simpson, following his death two months ago. These records focus on the criminal investigation into the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, identifying Simpson as a suspect.

Overview of the Investigation

O.J. Simpson consistently maintained his innocence and was acquitted in the well-known criminal trial. However, he was later held responsible in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33 million to the families of the victims.

The FBI records emphasize the analysis of forensic evidence, particularly fiber samples connected to the case.

Key Evidence: Bruno Magli Shoes

A significant part of the documents details the FBI’s efforts to trace the purchase of Bruno Magli-style size 12 shoes, which played a crucial role in Simpson's trials.

An FBI expert testified in the criminal trial that Simpson's shoe size matched the bloody shoeprints found at the murder scene, which traced back to the high-end Bruno Magli brand.

Simpson denied wearing Bruno Magli shoes during the civil trial, yet photos surfaced showing him wearing the brand.

FBI Activities Regarding Shoe Evidence

The records include notes, photographs, and descriptions of how the FBI attempted to link Simpson to a purchase by contacting many stores selling Bruno Magli shoes.

“The FBI tried to track the purchase of Bruno Magli-style size 12 shoes, a key piece of evidence in Simpson's trials.”
