Knife reportedly found on former O.J. Simpson estate
Mar-07-2016

Americans revisited one of the most sensational murder trials of modern times when a new twist appeared Friday in the O.J. Simpson case.

Los Angeles police announced that a knife was allegedly found on Simpson's former estate in Brentwood, stirring memories of the stabbings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman outside her condominium in 1994.

The development conjured up a cast of characters from the trial that gripped the nation's attention in the mid-1990s: Remember the televised slow-speed chase of O.J. Simpson in the white Bronco? His all-star legal team? The glove that did not fit? Judge Lance Ito?

And who can forget the ongoing crusade of Goldman's outraged family against Simpson, who is now imprisoned in Nevada for armed robbery and kidnapping in a separate case.

Emotions still burn fiercely about the case and its underlying issues that sound remarkably familiar today: race, justice and policing in America.

A jury acquitted Simpson in the killings in 1995, but questions endure about his guilt in popular culture -- fairly or not. His acquittal largely split the country along racial lines. He cannot be tried again.

The weapon used in the stabbing deaths was described as a long, serrated knife. It was not found. The double-murder case remains open but Simpson was found liable in the civil wrongful death suit brought by the victims' families two years later.
