The Clues

The Prosecution Must Forge a Strong Chain of Proof Using Evidence Recovered by the Police—and from Controversial DNA Tests

From PEOPLE Magazine

Simpson's Ford Bronco was flecked, inside and out, with a dozen bloodstains. Simpson has told police he cut his hand retrieving his golf bag from the car, but according to one news report, recent tests suggest some of the blood may be Nicole's.

A glove soaked with blood said to match that of the victims was discovered at O.J.'s home. A strong weapon in the DA's arsenal, the glove's apparent twin was found at the murder scene.

No murder weapon has been found, but prosecutors may note that five weeks before the murders Simpson paid $81.17 for a 15-inch stiletto like this one.

Police found a trail of bloody shoe-prints leading away from the bodies of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. The next day, the LAPD confiscated this pair of Reeboks from Simpson's home.
