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

The FBI has made public almost 500 pages of records concerning O.J. Simpson, following his death two months ago. The documents primarily detail the criminal investigation into the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, in which Simpson was a central suspect.

During the initial trial, Simpson insisted on his innocence and was eventually acquitted in a highly publicized court case. However, a later civil trial found him liable for both deaths, ordering him to pay $33 million to the victims’ families.

Focus of the FBI Records

The released files contain extensive forensic analyses, including fiber examinations and other physical evidence. A substantial portion of the material discusses the FBI’s efforts to trace the purchase of shoes similar to the size 12 Bruno Magli pair, a crucial element at both the criminal and civil trials.

An FBI expert testified that Simpson’s shoe size matched the bloody prints found at the crime scene and linked them to the luxury Bruno Magli brand.

Simpson denied ever owning or wearing Bruno Magli shoes during the civil proceedings. Nevertheless, investigators later found photographs showing him in that brand, casting further doubt on his testimony. The files also feature notes, images, and correspondences documenting how agents attempted to tie Simpson to specific shoe purchases.
