The best way to win a war is to not fight one. To be able to acknowledge when we are wrong, helps us to get it right, imho. A receptive mind and open heart will allow you to go further than you dreamed. When justice stands still, only the fool hearted, will contemplate pursuing even the most just of causes. Free your mind and the rest will follow.

Hipcheck,
NEVER say NEVER. You have no idea what the DA's had or didn't have. You do know of evidence they had and opted not to use.
We do not not know all of the evidence that either side had. We do not know why they played lets make a deal with the evidence, as in "you don't use this and we don't use that". Which appears to be normal procedure when both sides agree.
Regardless of what expert looked at, he can only give his opinon.
Because of comments Darden wrote in his book, an interview with Hank Goldberg, I believe they knew of these pictures. They opted not to use them for whatever reason.
I do believe the civil trial attorney wanted MC and CD to take the stand about the pictures, if and when they knew about them, but the judge ruled against them. It didn't matter, that was the criminal trial and this is the civil trial.
Again, NEVER say Never. And not just about this case, IMO.

William,
IMO, what destroyed Bodizak's credibilty was that he was not a neutral witness. Also, I don't know how anybody can look at Ron's pants and not see that footprint.
I think Bodizak's and Deedrick's testimony about this was not believeable.
When you look at what Bodizak did, like go Italy to the factory but nothing was done about the fibers--does that make sense?
And, I think most people forget something about the footprints, there is no way the killers could have killed Ron and Nicole and leave the scene in less then two minutes and have those footprints.
It makes no sense that the killers hung around because they wanted to admire their handiwork, IMO.

Wlliam,
I agree with you but would like to add something to it. I think Clark did things that made sure she got this case, one of them was showing up at Rockingham. GG had to know there was going to be problems with the search warrant and with the glove. Clark stuck her neck out and if a DA's head was going to roll when the case was over, it would be Clark's, not his.
Ito kept lowering the bar and would not consider new discovery in his rulings. IMO, the only reason why Ito used those comments in his ruling is because he was going to allow the search warrant but knew he had to acknowledge that the stories just didn't jell. He needs votes to keep his job. IMO.
In Bosco's book, he said that Clark told another DA the case was a loser but it was going to make her career. I don't know if it made her career, but it made her a very rich woman.

William,
I have to disagree, I don't think "inaccurate" is a fair word to use in describing the testimony. It was unbelieveable. It wasn't even close to being innaccurate.
IMO, inaccurate would be fair to use with Dr. Cotton, Dr. Weir, and perhaps a few others. They at least admitted to their failings. Not one detective ever came clean with their failings. Their explainations were just not believeable and, IMO, can only be considered lies. Again, IMO.

I don't believe the agent went to the BM factory and could not get one pair of that BM size 12 shoe. Usually those companies save at least one pair of all models for their shoe library.
But there was no proof that oj ever purchased that shoe so it is a unprovable fact that he ever owned one.

The oj case jumped started many no bodies career and they made lots of money off of OJ. I think that caused oj to decide to make money off of himself. Therefore 'IF I DID IT'
MC and Darden LEFT the DAS office to cash in. So i don't think winning was the most important issue for either one. Especially since the case was not winable from the begining. imo

What we should understand is the FBI is law enforcement. They rarely testify for the defense. They are used to support the prosecutions case and to prove guilt. However that is not their mandate.imo
But pople do believe that they always testify truthfully but that is not the case. See Martz.

As reported by the media the sweats were collected and tested. They compared the fibers to the sweats and they did not match. So they just made a claim that they went back weeks later looking for the sweats and they were not there. That was an attempt to say oj got rid of the sweats. imo

Agreed and in the trialthe media gave the prosecution a advantage by telling the public oj was guilty. The public agreed because of who oj was and who the victims were.
This case was a great example of how the playing field has to be level if a defendant is to get a fair trial. Unfortunately most defendants don't have the resources to hire smart lawyers,investigators and qualified experts. imo

Martin,
IMO, the DA's were trying to use the money "card". It makes no sense that if he was going to committ these murders, that he would have worn "rare" dress shoes, expensive socks, and gloves with a cheap sweat suit and a knit cap.
A knit cap on someone's head is just not a reasonable disguise--especially if you are a famous person. As you know, I question MF's comments about a ski mask. I can't see how he made that mistake.
Do you remember if he was ever asked how he made it?

Martin,
I agree and I think it is obvious that not only did this hurt him but it hurt Roger Martz and Doug Deedrick as well. They are supposed to be neutral witnesses and they were not.
That book I mentioned to William was written in part because of the Simpson case. It has been years since I read it.

The one thing we do know is that the killer wore size 12 Bruno Magli Lorenzo style shoes and not boots like you said. We also know that O.J. Simpson owned a pair of Bruno Magli Lorenzo style shoes as we have over 30 photos showing that and we also know that Simpson's shoe size is 12.
People did know Simpson's white Ford Brono and that's the reason he parked it out back but we have two witnesses that seen his white Ford Bronco leaving the area of Bundy right after the murders and one said she could identify him.

There was no proof oin the criminal or civil triasl that oj simpson ever purchased any BM shoes. JS claimed to have seen oj at 10;45 but then testified that she left home at 10;45. no other person testified to seeing ojs white bronco any place near bundy.
testimony proves your claims lack proof but you continue to make the claims.
The testimony is available if you are interested in facts and don't mind reading. imo

Robert Heidstra testifed that he saw a white SUV speed away from Bundy during the time of the murders.
Doug Deedrick testifed that he found hair that matched Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman on the glove found at Rockingham.
Doug Deedrick testifed that a hair on Ron Goldman's shirt had the same microsopic characteristics as O.J. Simpson's hair.
Doug Deedrick testified that he found 12 hairs in the knit cap which matched the hair belonging to O.J. Simpson.
Doug Deedrick testified that blue/black fibers found on Ron Goldman's shirt matched fibers found on O.J. Simpson's socks.
Doug Deedrick testified that cashmere fibers found on the knit cap matched fibers from the gloves.
Doug Deedrick testifed that fibers from the Ford Bronco's carpet matched fibers found on the glove at Rockigham.
Bill Bodziak testifed about the photos he examined and that he used 18 areas as to what he identifed the Bruno Maagli Lorenzo shoes from stitching to the soles to make the comparison.
All of the above proves that O.J. SIMPSON is GUILTY of murdering Nicole and Ron.

I am sure that you mentioned it before, but was Lange and Vannatter's book one of those you make reference to? I would like to know which book to reach for this evening.
Marcia Clark, in her book, states that she only advised Vannatter that it sounded as though he enough for a warrant. After that point, he was supposed to phone her to read her what he had written but according to her no phone call ever came.
I also do not recall where either Lange or Vannatter said that Marcia Clark helped to write the warrant so I will definitely refresh my memory as it has been quite some time since I have reviewed their book.
For the record though, Lance Ito is not the only who upheld the warrant. Judge Kennedy-Powell also upheld it in the prelim trial.

I understand that he said that Vannatter showed a reckless disregard for the truth. I also understand that he made the identical statement about Johnnie Cochran. I suppose that means that both of those have shown a reckless disregard for the truth.
It just highly interests me because I feel very certain that, had OJ Simpson been lying in that house dying, and the detectives had waited to enter until they had typed a warrant and had it signed, people would be outraged. I don't doubt that we would be hearing all about how the detectives should have made immediate entry given the sequence of events.

I agree that the moderator should advise. I simply assume that the Criminal and Civil Trial threads are separated for a reason. And thus far in this Criminal Trial thread I am reading alot of civil trial testimony. I have also been reading the slight jabs at Petrocelli which I do happen to know has no place in the Criminal Trial thread.

I think that judge kennedy didn't know or did not care to know the details of how and when vannatter came to know oj was on a prearranged trip.not a unscheduled one as he stated in the warrant. ito knew.
It would take a strong judge to follow the law and toss that evidence based on the lies told to get the warrant. That judge was not present.imo

The juros did not accept the terstimony of Deedrick as being proof beyond a reasonable doubt so it does not matter what he said or whar his opinions were.He never testified to a scientific certainty on anything so his report was his opinions and his opinions only. We do know that the FBI testified to support the prosecutions case and their bias was obvious.
BM was not the only company that used that shoe sole. The company that made the mold was in japan and they made that same mold for LLOYDS a large international shoe company so we really don't know the make of the shoe that made the prints.
You may think a complete sole print made at bundy can be accurately compared to the tip side of another sole shown in a picture but i think that position must be taken by those that start with the premise that oj was guilty and are guided by that bias. common sense rules against that thinking.
