Abstract
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." "

From the Paper
" The Simpson trial still reverberates in American society, more than two years after a jury acquitted the former football star. The loudest echoes surround the Los Angeles Police Department, which endured withering criticism before, during, and after the legal proceedings. Alas, casual observers would have to be excused for thinking that the LAPD was actually on trial. The defense served notice in opening statements, declaring the evidence "contaminated, compromised, and ultimately compromised" (Los Angeles Times, January 31, 1995, A1). Their closing argument went even further, accusing the police of criminal misconduct in orchestrating a massive frame-up of Simpson (Los Angeles Times, September 29, 1995, A27). Was this the usual hyperbole of a criminal defense lawyer, or did the LAPD really deserve such condemnation? This paper will attempt to answer.."

From the Paper
"Law is one of the most complex and powerful things in society. Unlike most things that have a minimal impact on most individuals, law impacts everyone's life and provides set guidelines for proper behavior while punishing those who violate such guidelines. What makes law particularly unique is that cases have the ability to establish new precedent that may drastically alter societal norms (i.e., Roe v. Wade and its impact on womens' right to choose). The O.J. Simpson criminal trial was dubbed "The Trial of the Century," complete with a "Dream Team" of lawyers for O.J. Simpson, an ex-Heisman trophy winner and B rate actor who was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Besides the notoriety of the accused murderer (news and television crews swamped the courtroom), this case was unusual both in its ultimate outcome (O.J. Simpson was found not guilty) as well as in the application of the law."

"O. J. SIMPSON CRIMINAL TRIAL: EXPLAINING THE VERDICT
This research attempts to explain why O. J. Simpson's criminal trial for the murder of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goodman ended in a verdict of "not guilty," while the civil trial, O. J. Simpson was found responsible for causing the wrongful death of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goodman. To the extent possible, this explanation is couched in concepts from social psychology. Within this context, it is hypothesized that variations in the outcomes of the criminal and civil trials involving the deaths of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman was a function of the social psychological concept of social identity in relation to the jurors of the two trials.
Social identity is defined as the individual's knowledge of personal membership in specific social groupings, together with the .."
