OJ Simpson has died at 76 after short cancer battle

I found this:

While an acquittal is a general term for a not guilty verdict, there is a subtle difference between the two terms under criminal law. Not guilty means that a defendant is not legally answerable for the criminal charge filed against him/her. An acquittal is a finding by a judge or jury that a defendant is not guilty of the crime charged.

“Acquitted” vs “Not Guilty” – Is There a Difference?

I didn’t know there was a difference. Thanks for clarifying that.
 
The opinion piece I posted in a separate thread mentioned that in the years he was married to Nicole, O.J. had invited LAPD officers to use his tennis courts and pool as they wished to.

That's another reason why Nicole's pleas for help were mostly ignored by the L.A. legal system. "Bros before hos" is the street slang for it. O.J. was crafty and calculating about making "bros" with the LAPD.

See what I mean? Conniving, crafty, calculating, charming. What's not to like, right?
 
Naturally said:
If O.J. did not in fact do it, I've always thought he knew who did.
In fact, I've often thought that MAYBE O.J. was up to possibly taking a fall for his son, Jason.

Jason Simpson was born in 1970, O.J.'s first son and second child from his first marriage to Marguerite L. Whitley.

Jason was just 7 years old when his father started dating Nicole Brown while still married to Jason’s mother. His parents divorced in 1979 and O.J. went on to marry and father two more children with Nicole.

It has been said, Jason began abusing alcohol, ecstasy, and cocaine as early as age 14 and medical records that show 3 recorded suicide attempts.

By the time the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman took place, Jason Simpson was grappling with mental health issues and a criminal record.

Police reports indicate Jason was arrested at least 4 times prior to the murders. These arrests include a DUI, driving with a suspended license, and most notably assault with a deadly weapon.

Jason had violently attacked one girlfriend with a knife, almost killing her, and had assaulted another in the years leading up to his stepmother’s death by stabbing. At the time of the murder, he was on probation for attacking his boss with a kitchen knife.

While it was alleged that O.J. was also a perpetrator of domestic violence, he wasn’t known to use weapons in his attacks.

Jason had been diagnosed with intermittent rage disorder which is commonly referred to as Jekyll and Hyde syndrome. This would make him prone to angry and violent outbursts.

Jason Simpson was known to blackout and had been committed to a hospital on several occasions after hearing voices in his head. While he was prescribed Depakote to cope with anger and seizures, and it's been said that he had stopped taking his medication in the months leading up to the murders.

It's been speculated Simpson’s motive for the killings was a fit of unexplained rage. Business Insider also states that on the night of the murders Brown was supposed to dine at the restaurant where Jason worked but changed her mind last minute, possibly without notifying her step-son.

There's also facts concerning found physical evidence that point to Jason ... A black knit “navy watch cap” found at the scene did not match any fibers found on O.J. The hat was also coated in dog hairs. O.J. did not own a dog but Jason did.

Photographs found in Jason’s storage locker show that Jason wore watch caps frequently. One image, dated 3/24/93, shows Jason sitting with his dog while wearing an identical cap to that found at the murder site.

The LAPD found 15 unknown fingerprints at Nicole’s Brentwood home where the murder took place, none of which matched O.J.’s prints. The police also failed to compare them to Jason’s prints.

There was also blood and skin found under Nicole’s fingernails that did not match O.J.’s DNA.

Ron Goldman, a 3rd-degree black belt, was found with bruised hands suggesting he had fought back against his attacker. O.J. stripped for LAPD a day after the murders and showed no signs of bruising. Jason’s DNA was never requested by the police nor was he interviewed by LAPD.

Jason had previously attended the Army and Navy Academy and a former classmate said that he had been trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as field knife training. O.J., on the other hand, was known to hate the sight of blood.

The LAPD determined that the murders took place between 9:45 pm and 10:05 pm. After 9:50 pm, Jason was alone and has no alibi that can be supported by someone else.

At the restaurant where he worked, Jason’s time card for the night of June 12 was handwritten even though the electronic time clock was working, meaning his alibi could be false.

Jason was known to have a love/hate relationship with the mother of his youngest siblings and was possibly infuriated that she hadn’t come to see him at work.

In the days after the murders, and four days before his own arrest, O.J. hired top criminal attorney Carl Jones to represent his oldest son. However, Jason had never even been interviewed by police nor was he being investigated for the murders.

If a client is wrongfully accused of murder the most logical argument for a defense lawyer is to suggest who, other than their client, could be responsible. Yet O.J.’s “dream team” defense made no attempt to do so. Is it possible that this is because O.J. was protecting his son from being incriminated?

Just some thoughts. Oh and Jason is 54 now and said to be working as a chef in Atlanta (as of 2018)

Just the first three points you cited, if they are indeed facts, would be enough to cast doubt about OJ's guilt. As an investigator , I would have questioned those other points as well. They should not have been overlooked. My uncle didn't think he was guilty, citing how much blood should have been found on his clothing, in his vehicle , etc. He likened it to someone stabbing a pig...blood would be everywhere. I also worked with a woman who thought he was innocent. At the time, I didn't know what to think. I know one thing, I can't think of much worse than to be accused of something I know I didn't do!
 
Perhaps the families of the two murdered victims will now be able to sue his estate, to try to get the money that he was ordered to pay them, by the civil courts, but which he never did pay them? JimB. In Toronto.
 
@WhatInThe
I don't know about that since I am not a lawyer. But 'tis typical that a scumbag in life would be total scumbag in death.
