Introduction

The trial of the years, as the twice homicide trial of O.J. Simpson has been called, is over but the conjecture over how and why he was found not at fault is still running atmosphere high.

Simpson's lead advocate Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. said at a press seminar, after the not at fault verdict, he felt the timeline was one of the large-scale reasons the case was won.

Prosecutors had contended all along that the murders appeared around 10:15 p.m. because that's when Nicole Brown Simpson's dog was heard wailing. Cochran and other protecting against solicitors made witnesses who contradicted that, indicating that the wailing was round 10:30 p.m. on June 12, 1994 when Nicole Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were murdered. Simpson was glimpsed at 10:54 p.m. by the limousine person driving who was to take him to the airport. Simpson responded the driver who buzzed him at the gate one minute later. The person driving had arrived at 10:40 p.m. and obtained no answer then.

Cochran had habitually argued there wasn't sufficient time for Simpson to consign a bloody twice killing and get back home, shower and be ready for a flight so quickly.

"We said that if we could shatter the prosecution's timeline in that O.J. Simpson couldn't have committed these misdeeds, then there'd be reasonable doubt. That's even before we got to the socks, the gloves or (Detective Mark) Fuhrman or anything else. If you look at the timeline, O.J. Simpson could not, would not and did not consign these misdeeds. And I think that became very clear." (Robert, 1994)

The socks Cochran mentioned to be the bloody socks found in Simpson's bedroom. Jurors said they questioned if or not the body-fluid on the socks was planted. The bloody glove was found on Simpson's house, yet no body-fluid was discovered any place around it. Fuhrman was the racist agent who asserted to have found the glove and a speck of body-fluid on Simpson's Bronco.

Prosecution's case and Key Witnesses and Other Evidences

Even with no killing tool for fighting, no good fingerprints, and no witnesses to the murders, the prosecution was assured that they offered a solid case. Supported by DNA clues, they completely anticipated a conviction. From the physical clues collected, the prosecution speculated that Simpson motored over to Nicole Brown's house on the night of June 12 with the aim ...
