So some retired cop found the knife and kept it for "years" and wanted to frame it.

Cop asked for the case# so he could engrave it on the frame. Wtf

O.J. can't be prosecuted for this again, though. What a dunce that cop is. He should do some serious prison time for at least obstructing justice, if true.

I do believe double jeopardy is voided if there is new evidence presented.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

No

What a world we live in huh

Not according to the article.

Nope, one bite at the apple which is why prosecutors try to get all their proverbial "ducks in a row" before going to trial...except for this case......

Kato Kaelin's fingerprints are gonna be all over this knife

Apparently it's only for those found guilty. If new evidence is presented there can be request retrial.

Well at least this will take up the news cycle.

 

[Dr Pain]

The answer is obvious. Since OJ didn't do it Kato did.

If that were true, you'd see a lot more "new evidence" discoveries. . . .

Probably Hernandez's DNA.

i was under the impression that double jeopardy only came into play when you were convicted of a crime, that you didn't commit, and then later actually committed that crime anyways.

So if oj was convicted of killing Nicole brown, but then it turns out she faked her death, OJ could kill her and then not be punished because he had already been punished for killing her

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

No

 

[Hammer of Thor]

This just in: last year the cop also obtained Brady's destroyed cell phone, he is now presenting to forensics for testing!

What good timing for FX!
