The OJ Simpson Criminal Case (Investigation and Interrogation) Kaitlyn Marie Debrodie CJA 401 August 30, 2014 Professor Nick Tzakis The OJ Simpson Criminal Case (Investigation and Interrogation) The Interrogation of Orenthal James (O.

With this being said and studying the topic in greater depth detail, it seems that there may have been a more likely suspect other than O.J. Simpson. This would have been O.J.’s son, Jason Simpson, who ironically had anger issues and a career as “a Miami chef, who could be accused as the overlooked suspect” (dailymail.com). Research has shown that Jason was accused by Nicole of stalking her and causing her discomfort and a fear of her life. She reported to O.J. and police that Jason was stalking her on numerous occasions, so no one really knows who the murderer was. I feel that if the investigators would have looked deeper into this assumption that they would have found more concrete evidence possibly linking another suspect to the crime. It is my opinion that if Jason was involved with the double murder-homicide, and the investigators were more forceful, O.J. may have been inclined to protect his son and take the fall. He possibly would have given a false statement of confession, even though he may have not committed the

When John Ramsey and his neighbor Fleet White went around the area to see if JonBenet was hiding somewhere, the first place John went was straight to the basement. Which just so happened to be where JonBenet’s body was found, so that right there raised a huge red flag. The reason for that was because by the time Mr. Ramsey had gone downstairs to the basement, it had been a few hours from when everything had started and mysteriously he knew exactly where she would be in the basement? The biggest part of it all was after Mr. Ramsey had found JonBenet, instead of calling for the detectives who were all over his home; he immediately picked JonBenet off the ground and took the duct tape off her mouth. After John Ramsey touched JonBenet, that entire murder scene was now tampered with which makes anything that was found inaccurate seeing how there is now other fingerprints on the body.
