Thesis

Due to the broken chain of custody, the possible conspiracy involved, and the lack of understanding behind DNA evidence, it was not possible to if determine OJ Simpson murdered Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.

Major Players Nicole Brown -VictimRonald Goldman-Victim Robin Cotton-DNA expert/Molecular Biologist Peter Neufield-DNA expert and defense lawyerAlan Dershowitz- defense lawyer, expert on theory and mechanics of law

Barry Scheck-DNA expert/Molecular Biologist Collin Yamauchi-LAPD criminalist

DNA EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE-Trail of blood from inside Ford Bronco to Rockingham House

-Bloody Rockingham Glove-Bundy-Bloody Socks in Rockingham Bedroom

Robin Cotton -Advocated that drops of blood found near Brown and Goldman originated from OJ Simpson.

-There was a 1 in 170 million chance that someone had the same blood as OJ Simpson.

-She also deemed that there was a 1 in 1.68 billion chance that someone matched the DNA profile of OJ Simpson, which was also found at the scene.

-Stated the blood on OJ’s sock in his bedroom matched Brown’s.

Peter Neufield -Argued the problem with this Cotton’s method of extrapolation of this information could have been an inaccurate method. -A pool of samples from 240 African Americans in Michigan were taken to gain these statistics-Not a valid statistic as the sample pool was too small.-Peter Neufield

-Also argued there was a conspiracy theory against OJ Simpson-the crime was set up to seem as though he did it

Alan Dershowitz

-Most experienced defense attorney but was lost with regards to DNA evidence

- “If you find a cockroach in a bowl of spaghetti, you don't look for another cockroach before you throw out the whole bowl of spaghetti” -Dr. David Lee, part of the closing argument.

- Argument following the quote was that “you couldn’t trust any of the blood and DNA evidence that these policeman provided because we proved they lied about certain for things and planted at least some evidence” -Alan Dershowitz

Barry Scheck

-DNA expert—briefed defense team on DNA-Delivered closing argument, argued that evidence was tampered with or planted

-Argued that Andrea Mazzola collected blood samples without approval

Collin Yamauchi -Member of unreliable and faulty LAPD Forensic team-LAPD forensic team was known to mishandle evidence and to frequently break the chain of custody due to lack of training and enforcement of protocol

-Supposedly spilled blood when he was examining the Rockingham Glove and Bundy

-Fueled argument of possible contamination

Synopsis The OJ Simpson trial was complicated. There was DNA evidence found that pointed to OJ Simpson and should have convicted him. However, because the evidence was handled poorly and there was much speculation about a conspiracy against OJ, the evidence was not enough to convict him.
