Simpson also grabbed a knife before leaving his car. Simpson explains that his intent at that point was to scare Nicole. Simpson also claims that when he walked into the house he saw Ronald Goldman and became furious assuming that Ronald and Nicole had a sexual relationship. Simpson goes on to write that something “went horribly wrong” and the next thing he knew he was standing covered in blood while Ronald and Nicole lay dead in front of him. In Simpson 's story, he places a second man, a friend named "Charlie," with him at the time of the murders. Charlie, Simpson reports, attempts to stop Simpson from doing what he 's doing. This article helps start my paper giving me different clues on what Simpson did that night. It is a reliable source because it came from Simpson’s book he wrote.]
Collier, Aldore. “Why O.J. Simpson Was Found Not Guilty.” Jet 23 Oct. 1995: n.pag. Print.
[Collier from Jet magazine reports on the O.J. Simpson trial and why Simpson’s lead attorney, Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., explains Simpson was not found guilty. Cochran explains that the time periods of the murder and where Simpson was at the time do not go hand-in-hand. According to Cochran, witnesses claim they heard Nicole’s dog wailing around 10:30 which was predicted to be when the murders occurred. “Simpson was picked up by a limousine driver around 10:40 for a ride to the airport, so there was not enough time for Simpson to commit a bloody double murder and get back home, shower and be ready for a flight so quickly” Cochran explained. This article is a great help for my persuasive paper and because it was written around the time Simpson was found guilty it is a valuable source.]
