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

The FBI has released close to 500 pages of documents related to O.J. Simpson following his death two months ago. These records focus on the 1994 criminal investigation into the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, in which Simpson was identified as a suspect.

Investigation and Evidence

Simpson consistently claimed innocence and was acquitted in the criminal trial, but he was later held liable for the deaths in a civil case and ordered to pay $33 million to the victims' families. The newly released FBI files concentrate heavily on the forensic analysis, including fiber evidence.

Shoe Evidence Focus

A significant part of the records discusses the FBI’s efforts to trace the purchase of Bruno Magli size 12 shoes, which played a critical role in the trials. At the criminal trial, an FBI expert testified that the bloody shoeprints at the murder scene matched Simpson’s shoe size and indicated they were from high-end Bruno Magli shoes.

"Simpson denied ever wearing Bruno Magli shoes during his testimony in the civil trial, but photos were uncovered showing him wearing the brand."

The files contain notes, photos, and detailed accounts of how the FBI contacted multiple stores to link Simpson to a Bruno Magli shoe purchase.
