OJ Simpson in Made In America
Netflix's new documentary series American Manhunt: O. J. Simpson explores the infamous case in a new light. The series uses interviews and archival footage from the trial and the events surrounding it. American Manhunt outlines the events of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman's deaths, the police response to the crime, O. J. Simpson's trial for the murders, and the larger impact on American culture that the events had.
The first witness, Jill Shively, was driving home when she saw O. J. Simpson driving away from his ex-wife's neighborhood, putting him near the scene of the crime at the right time. Shively later sold her story, so Marcia Clark thought that she would not be a very credible witness. Skip Junis, who saw Simpson arrive at LAX acting strangely, was also never called to testify.
8 Several Pieces Of Physical Evidence Were Never Collected By Police The Supplies Had Been Tampered With In the first episode of American Manhunt: O. J. Simpson, several of the LAPD detectives who were on the case outlined how they believed that other detectives and crime scene analysts at the scene had failed to properly tag and admit certain objects into the official evidence in the case.
Though there was a lot of DNA collected for testing, the defense later argued that it could have been contaminated, meaning that any additional DNA that was collected at the beginning could have proved helpful. Additionally, the Netflix series points to bad communication between the detectives and their lack of good notes or pictures as a major problem for the investigation.
5 The Documentary Casts Doubt On Mark Fuhrman His Racism Cast Doubt On Everything He Had Said About The Case While American Manhunt: O. J. Simpson initially frames Mark Fuhrman as one of the primary interviewees for the series, as the show progresses it becomes clear that he was actually a major problem in the case. His role and testimony are certainly one of the most infamous parts of the case, as Fuhrman was the only person in the O. J. Simpson trial actually convicted.
The trial was held in Downtown Los Angeles rather than in Santa Monica, where it had occurred, in order to gain a more diverse jury, whom the defense rightly believed would be more likely to side with Simpson. The defense believed that Black jurors would be more likely to find Simpson not guilty, and the prosecution believed that women would be more likely to find him guilty. This resulted in the jurors being mostly women and mostly Black.
