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 primarily focus on the criminal investigation into the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, where O.J. Simpson was a suspect.

Investigation Details

The documents highlight the forensic examination, particularly of fiber evidence from the crime scene. A significant portion discusses the FBI's efforts to trace the purchase of Bruno Magli-style size 12 shoes, which were crucial in Simpson's trials.

Shoe Evidence and Trial Testimonies

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

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

FBI Methods

The records include FBI notes, photographs, and descriptions of their attempts to connect Simpson to the purchase of the shoes by contacting various stores that sold Bruno Magli shoes.

"Simpson maintained he was innocent and was ultimately acquitted in a high-profile criminal trial, but he was later found liable in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33 million to the families."
