O.J. Simpson Seeks Retrial In Las Vegas Court - Day 4
What are O.J. Simpson's Bruno Magli shoes? More details surface as FBI releases 475 pages of documents about double-murder trial

Despite O.J. Simpson's passing, discussions surrounding the former footballer persist. The recent release of Simpson's FBI file has reignited interest, particularly shedding light on the significance of certain Bruno Magli shoes in the infamous murder trial of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

According to TMZ, the FBI compiled a comprehensive list of all of Bruno Magli's stores in the United States of America, and from the files, you can see that they were dissecting shoeprints to compare what had been found at the murder site.

The files show that a shoeprint identical to a Bruno Magli shoe was left on the ground. The FBI agents testified about the findings at the time, but the process of examining it is now being shown in full through the public FBI file, and you can tell they left no stone unturned.

Why wasn't O.J. Simpson convicted despite the Bruno Magli shoe evidence?

The authorities did their due diligence and testified that the Simpsons' shoe size matched the print found at the crime scene. This was considered a key piece of evidence that many felt implicated O.J. in the crime.

However, the jury did not buy it, and the former NFL Most Valuable Player was guilty of the murders. Simpson was later found liable for the deaths of his ex-wife and Goldman in a civil trial in Santa Monica in 1997 and ordered to pay $33.5 million. It is widely believed that most of that fee was never paid off.

Why wasn't O.J. Simpson removed from the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

O.J. Simpson had one of the most astonishing falls from grace in his post-NFL career, so much so that many people wondered why he wasn't removed from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

In 2020, the Hall of Fame stated, "Once elected in, nothing in the Pro Football Hall of Fame's bylaws allow for removing a Hall member."

Hence, while the Buffalo Bills legend might have had a chequered history off the Gridiron, he'll forever be a bust in Canton based on his 11-year NFL career.
