 Bloody footprints- size 12 Bruno Magli shoes  OJ said he did not have that type of shoe. After the trial a picture was found of him wearing the shoes.

 Blood was found in OJ Simpson’s Bronco  Blood drops were on OJ’s driveway and in the foyer of his home  Blood soaked sock was located in OJ Simpson’s bedroom- bloodstained glove was in his residence  DNA extracted and profiled from each bloodstained article

 Trail of DNA leaving the crime scene was consistent with OJ’s profile- as was the DNA found entering Simpson’s home  Simpson’s DNA profile was found in the Bronco along with that of both victims  The glove contained the DNA profiles of Nicole and Ron, and the sock had Nicole’s DNA profile

 Simpsons blood was found at the murder scene- victims’ blood was found inside his car and home-  At the scene- there were five blood drops leading away from the slain bodies of Nicole and Ron- toward the rear alley- four of which were immediately to the left of the bloody size 12 shoes prints  Killer had been wounded on the left side of his body-  Morning after the murders, Simpson was observed by the police to be wearing a bandage on his left middle finger  When the bandage was removed that afternoon- he had a deep cut on the knuckle of his finger

 DNA tests on all five blood drops and on three bloodstains found on the rear gate at the crime scene showed that all of this blood belonged to Simpson  Two DNA tests were used (PCR and RFLP) PCR test is less precise that RFLP  But can be conducted on smaller blood samples as well as samples that have degenerated because of bacteria and/or exposure to elements  PCR tests were conducted on four out of the five blood drops

 Three drops: Only 1 out of 240,000 people had DNA with the markers found in the sample  Fourth drop: had markers which one out of 5200 people would have- Simpson was one of those people  Fifth drop- RFLP test- one of out 170 million people would match these markers- again Simpson’s blood did  Richest sample was the rear gate- RFLP test showed that only one out of 57 billion people had those markers- Simpson was one of these people  Just from blood evidence- one out of 57 billion chance that Simpson is innocent  Fifty seven billion is approximately ten times the current population of the entire world
