Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes Vincent Bugliosi's "Outrage," who recounts and attacks all the problems and mistakes he believes were made in the trial of OJ Simpson, and the reasons why Simpson was not convicted for the murder of his ex-wife and her boyfriend.

From the Paper:

"Author Vincent Bugliosi states that O.J. Simpson's acquittal is one of the most gross cases of injustice in the history of the legal system. He claims that O.J. walked not because he is innocent of the murders, but rather, that the circumstances surrounding the evidence, the weak and flawed case presented by the prosecution, the legal gaffs made my Judge Lance Ito, and that pertinent and damaging evidence was left out of the court proceedings all contributed to Simpson's verdict of innocent. The result is that O.J. "walked." "
