hotel room. trying to retrieve some of his own stolen memorabilia. charged with armed robbery and kidnapping. so he went on trial it was a very strange trial. prosecutors seemed determined to get him. and there were overtones of the trial in l.a. two police detectives said oh they didn t get him in l.a. so we re going to get him here. which obviously is not the way the justice system is supposed to work but in a way that s how it worked. he was convicted of pay back. pay back or not, the murder trial was one of the most extraordinary in trials in history. 20 years later what s the latest? i think one of the forensic legacy is that it established d.n.a. is important. and i think normally you take years and decades
in ugly ass shoes in the civil case. had you a picture of him wearing those shoes in the civil case. that s right. the media coverage actually helped him. the initial picture of simpson in those shoes was called a fraud. the one in the national enquirer. actually new year s eve in the middle of the trial that i got a call and went up to buffalo and the film was actually developed of him in those shoes. it was incredible thing. but something that never would have happened if the media wasn t, you know, looking for these things and talking about it constantly. of course, we are looking at those shoes right now. those are what o.j. simpson described in that deposition those bruno mali shoes ugly ass shoes. i thought they went out and determined from a footprint what type of shoe that was. that to me what are the odds the fbi is going to figure out from half a blood footprint that it s bruno mali and traveled all the way to italy and he says he doesn t have the shoes and he did the hav
pair of bruno mali shoes luxury brand that left a bloody footprint at the crime scene. during the middle of the trial photo surfaced simpson wearing those shoes. the photo caught simpson in a lie, a big lie. on february 4th, 197, the jury found simpson liable for the two murders of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman. many have said this was the trial done right. in a civil case, john, i remember that you, the civil team, you presented the blood evidence in very short order compared to marcia clark and christopher darr den did it on days on end. friday afternoon i put detective vannatter on the stand for 12 minutes. everybody sat back and thought it would be two or three days of direct and cross-examination. how about the fact that they didn t have the picture of o.j. simpson wearing those bruno mali shoes which he so infamously described
neighborhood opinion. you cannot protect them from if it s a high profile case. you cannot protect them from being infected by somebody s opinion. somebody else s opinion. every time i have lost a trial and i always thought i wish i had done something differently or, and looking back, do you wish you had done something differently in terms of your participation in this trial? in the trial or in the investigation? or in the investigation. anything. do you have any regrets? i don t have any regrets. if there is a regret. it would be that i wasn t there to close down the crime scene investigation. make sure that everything was covered and everybody did everything that they should have done. but overall yank of anything i would change. can i defend christopher darner on one thing? putting the glove on o.j. simpson. i know everyone has taken him apart on that. i don t think he had any choice. first of all o.j. simpson had put on weight in jail.
