Why OJ Simpson is "Not Guilty"

The testimony of the two witnesses who cannot lie say that OJ Simpson is not guilty.Blood and flesh were found under Nicole Brown's fingernails; the blood type did not match OJ (or Nicole or Ron). Ron Goldman walked to work, worked out, and practiced karate; his hands showed bruises from punching someone in the face or head more than once. OJ had no scratches or bruises on his hands, arms, face, or body: he could not have been a lone murderer.The newspapers said that when the bodies were found after 12:15 AM their red blood was trickling down the sidewalk. The crime scene pictures printed in the National Enquirer showed the red blood. This says they were freshly killed, around 11:30, because their blood would be black and clotted if dead for over an hour (as in the Borden Murders).The above physical evidence proves OJ Simpson to be innocent of these murders. Some say the 25 to 30 stab wounds on Ron Goldman suggest an emotional frenzy from a personal enemy, and Nicole Brown was the innocent bystander. The book "Killing Time" is the first and only objective book (arguments for both sides) to discuss all the evidence.I hope that those who want to know the facts will read this, and reconsider any prejudgments that they made in June 1994.

a rude awakening for some

if this book had the publicity as all the other books written a lot of people would think differentely about who killed those two people that night. I thought mr Simpson was innocent before reading the book, now I am more convinced that someone else did it.

Contains many assertions that should be explored further

The authors bring up many obvious things wrong with the case, and they are seemingly the only ones doing so. I am disappointed to see that it is out of print, and I wonder why. Remember, the criminal jury was convinced of his innocence and it wasn't just because they were black. This book shows clearly the absurd nature of what has to be believed to think him guilty. For example, that he wouldn't have had more blood on him as a result of the terrific struggle, and how much of the evidence was gathered so late. And, how hard it is to think that he would have done that to his children's mother, leaving her out front for them to find, and how he wasn't really trying to escape. It is important to understand this case because it had great effect on the social and political climate.

an eye opener

This was great reading that tried to review the facts without prejudice. This book need to have the air time as others that was so biased in its presentation. The chronological detail of the people and events were amazingly correct as time has shown. I believe this book if seriously reviewed will someday help to solve this great mystery.
