Did O.J.
Simpson get away with murdering Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman in June 1994? O.J’s
blood DNA was found near the victims, on the walkway, at the rear gate, and on
Ron Goldman’s boot. His blood was also found on the floor of O.J’s Bronco,
along with the steering wheel, driver’s door, and console. O.J.’s defense
attorneys accused the police of planting O.J.’s blood at the scene of the
crime. That might plant doubt in some people’s minds, but how did Ron and
Nicole’s blood get inside O.J.’s car and house?
Nicole’s
blood was found in O.J’s Bronco on the steering wheel, console, and carpet.
Ron’s blood was also found on the console. Nicole’s blood was found in
footprints made by size 12 rare Bruno Magli shoes, which O.J. happened to
own and was his shoe size.
At O.J.’s
house, his blood was found in the driveway and foyer. O.J.’s blood, Ron and
Nicole’s blood, and hairs from both Ron and Nicole were found on the glove in
his yard. Both O.J’s and Nicole’s blood were found on a sock in his bedroom. The
defense team couldn’t explain how Ron and Nicole’s blood was found in all those
places. All this evidence was ignored by the jury, which acquitted him.
Why would
someone want to ignore evidence? Primarily because ulterior motives are
involved. When Jesus performed healing miracles as the religious Pharisees watched, they refused to believe in Him because they didn't want to
lose their political power. They said, “If we let Him go on like this, all men
will believe in Him and the Romans will come and take away both our place and
our nation” (John 11:48).
Many people today refuse to believe the evidence
that proves the existence of God and the truth of the Bible. They're afraid to examine the evidence of hundreds of fulfilled Bible prophecies and that the amazingly complex human body couldn't have evolved by mere chance. Why won't some people honestly examine the evidence? It's because they "suppress the truth" because their hearts are darkened (Romans 1:18, 21). If you don't want to believe something, it doesn't matter how much evidence is presented. As the saying goes, "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." Take an honest look at the proof and arrive at your own verdict.
