Lawyer Says He Can Prove OJ Simpson Didn't Murder Wife Nicole Brown Simpson

F. Lee Bailey, one of the many attorneys who represented OJ Simpson in the infamous 1995 murder trial, has penned a 46-page document called "The Simpson Verdict", in which he reveals new evidence and defends OJ's acquittal for the brutal slayings of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

"O.J. - apart from the infliction of injury on Nicole - has no history of resorting to raging violence to solve his emotional problems," Bailey wrote. "The unlikelihood that a person of O.J.'s character would be capable of such brutality has somehow devolved into a mystical certainty among many that he nonetheless is the perpetrator. Most amazing to me is that many - indeed the majority - of my otherwise intelligent and thoughtful friends have a knee-jerk certainty of O.J.'s guilt. I can only attribute this to a natural tendency to infer guilt from the suicide escapade, despite O.J.'s clear declarations of innocence to the contrary."

He says this evidence was not introduced in trial: Testimony from a dog-walker who said he saw a Nicole arguing with a man near a white Ford F350 pickup truck, with a menacing-looking man crouching roughly 70 feet away. He didn't think anything of it until the next day, when he learned of the murder; The opinion of forensic psychiatrist Bernard Yudowitz, who had interviewed 400 people who had recently committed murder and spent eight hours evaluating OJ after the murders and determined he wasn't guilty; The opinion of a psychologist who developed the concept of battered woman syndrome to describe the mindset and emotional state of a battered woman. She also examined OJ and found that "he definitely did not fit the profile of a batterer who murders," according to Bailey.

Before she died, Nicole, on the other hand, painted a very different picture of OJ, whom she said beat her up during the marriage and made her life a living hell.

Bailey's account is a VERY long read, but if you're remotely interested in OJ or the trial, then it's a MUST read.
