I know most media pundits and outlets believe O.J. Simpson is not only guilty, but obviously and undeniably guilty, but a closer look at the supposed "mountain of evidence" against O.J. reveals contradictions, bogus claims, and absurd scenarios.
An Unlikely Scenario: Problems with the Case Against O.J. Simpson

* Keeping in mind the above facts, at about 10:00 PM, O.J. tries to call his girlfriend, Paula Barbieri. Earlier in the day, she had left him a voicemail saying she wanted to end their relationship. So, according to the prosecution, partly as a result of the break-up message, O.J. starts on a journey toward mad rage—and then murders his ex-wife that evening. Wait a minute: His ex-wife? Why would he not have directed his alleged mad rage at Paula Barbieri? (By the way, Paula visited O.J. several times at the county jail during the trial and stated in interviews that O.J. was incapable of murdering anyone.)
Additionally, O.J. called two other girls on the day of the murders to get dates with them, which is not exactly the behavior one would expect from a man who was supposedly obsessed with his wife and building up to a murderous rage. At 7:35 PM, he left a voicemail with one of the girls and said the following:
* O.J., wishing to "disguise" himself, puts on a dark sweatsuit and a dark knit cap, and then drives to Nicole's house in his white Bronco, which everyone in Nicole’s neighborhood has seen him driving dozens of times before.
* Although O.J. puts on a sweatsuit, he wears fancy dress socks and super-expensive Bruno Magli dress shoes.
* Instead of wearing a ski mask or a stocking to cover his face, O.J. puts on a knit cap, which does nothing to hide his face and which can only look suspicious in the mid-summer temperatures of that night. A ski mask or stocking also would have looked suspicious, but at least they would have covered his face. Incidentally, the knit cap was quite small, too small to fit O.J.’s head in a normal manner.
Interestingly, an identical knit cap was found inside Nicole’s house. The cap that was supposedly found near the bodies might have belonged to one of O.J. and Nicole’s two young children, both of whom lived with Nicole at the time. This suggests that the cap might have been planted, either by one of the killers or by a police officer. Planting the cap would have been a simple matter of going inside the house (the door was left open), picking up the cap, and dropping it near the bodies.
* Still in this supposed "stealth" mode, O.J. drives his large, well-known, and very noisy white Bronco into the alleyway behind Nicole’s house on Bundy Drive, even though the alleyway is fairly well-lit, even though he surely knows there are homes with windows that have a good view of that alleyway, and even though the alleyway is visible by passing cars. Not to mention the fact that everybody in that area knows O.J.'s white Bronco. Throughout the trial, the prosecution swung back and forth between scenarios that required O.J. to be a supremely dumb criminal to scenarios that assumed he was extremely clever and cunning.

Uh, hey, Gretchen, sweetheart. It’s Orenthal James who is finally at a place in his life where he is totally, totally unattached with everybody. Ha ha. In any event, I got a Sunday evening, uh, I’d love [pauses]. . . . I guess I guess I’m catching a red-eye [late-night airline flight] to Chicago but I’ll be back Monday night. (Gerald Uelman, Lessons from the Trial: The People v. O.J. Simpson, Kansas City, MO: Andrews and McMeel, 1996, p. 59)As Gerald Uelman, a former dean at the Santa Clara University School of Law, noted, “It does not sound like a person distraught by jealousy who is on the verge of homicide” (Lessons from the Trial, p. 59).
