F. Lee Bailey is taking issue with a decision by the late lawyer Johnnie Cochran in the murder trial of O.J. Simpson.
Bailey, a disbarred lawyer, writes that Simpson was in fact totally innocent of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman and offers little-known evidence supporting his assertion. He makes the argument in a 46-page paper posted at the website of his consulting company, according to the Portland Press Herald and the New York Daily News.
Dog walker Tom Lang may have been the most important witness in the case, but his testimony was never used due to a decision by Johnnie Cochran, Bailey writes in the third portion (PDF) of his argument. Lang could have answered the question, If Simpson didnt do it, who did? Bailey asserts.

Bailey also makes these arguments, according to the New York Daily News account:
Simpson has no history of resorting to raging violence to solve his emotional problems.
Simpsons suicide attempt was spurred by his distress over his wifes death.
The famous Bronco chase was actually a high-tension escort" rather than a chase.

Absolutely wrong. Dr. Henry Lee testified that the blood found that was Simpson's at the crime scene had preservative in it. Simpson had voluntarily given a blood sample earlier that day which Fuhrman and Van Natta took with them. Later, Van Natta testified that, after getting Simpson's sample, he returned to the crime scene before taking the blood sample to the lab - a violation of LAPD procedures. The obvious charge is that they planted Simpson's blood at the crime scene, after the fact and Dr. Lee's testimony said the blood they got that matched Simpson found at the crime scene had preservative in it - the type put at the bottom of a test tube when you are getting a sample. The LAPD admitted they did not follow the proper procedures of evidence chaining and left open the opportunity, if not the actual fact, that the blood evidence tying OJ to the crime scene had been planted there by Van Natta or Fuhrman - that it was not there the night of the crime. The prosecution had no response other than to express outrage that the defense would question the integrity of the police - an integrity which later proved to be suspect when evidence-tampering cases became rampant from the LAPD not long afterwards. THAT is reasonable doubt. Or do you prefer convicting someone on the basis of tampered evidence when there's no murder weapon and no confession? I'm not saying OJ didn't do it. I'm saying that the evidence the jury was given did not proof guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and subsequent discovery of LAPD evidence tampering only supports that doubt.
And, OJ just happened to have a paper cut and bled at the scene?! Then, he tracked the victims blood into his Bronco?
When they got ready to read the verdict, everyone was sitting quietly, upright and waiting, except for one person. His son was leaning doubled over, head in hands and visibly shaking. Whether he was crying or just scared, I don't know, but, that scene along with the video of him going to see his father in jail, his face was bruised, at that point I suspected him.
The media stopped showing that video and we didn't see him again for a long time.
Really? Do you remember this?
Remember the presence of blood preservative in the blood evidence on the socks and gloves?
I remember that. How did that preservative get in the blood from his socks? Or do you think that blood preservative courses through Simpson's veins?
He continues to claim someone else did it. He wants them to look elsewhere. Not at him and not at his son. Why is that so hard to understand?
Because if he directed them to look “elsewhere”, they might have looked at his son. Is that too hard to understand?
He doesn’t want them to look at his son. He wants to protect his son AND himself! That’s why he kelpt claiming to be searching for her killer.
I understand that. However, if the police were focused on him and his DNA, if he kept saying over and over he was innocent they would only have moved to his son - so there is no way he was trying to protect his son or he would have just said he did it. ANY move away from him could have turned toward his son.
Not necessarily. The police were so focused on OJ, to the point of planting evidence that they weren’t about to look ‘elsewhere’. Even after losing they were so intent on it being him they considered the case closed.
Well you just keep believing that evidence was planted and OJ was innocent - and that all the police officers who planted that evidence to frame an innocent man, you know, because they were all racists, have remained silent all of these years instead of cashing in. Sure.
Explain to me how the blood preservative got into the blood sample from his socks?
I don’t know, and neither do you.
Good old F. U. Bailey
The fact that it was there is enough for me. :) Have a good day.
Simpson "has no history of resorting to raging violence to solve his emotional problems." ... The famous Bronco chase was actually a "high-tension escort" rather than a chase.
