Simpson's full name is Oehlert Noel Gams Simpson. Simpson is a black man and hero in the eyes of Americans. He is one of the best top players in American football, which is the most respected and popular sport. He won the Heismann Cup when he was a player in the famous University of Southern California, which is a great honor for football players. After that, Simpson entered the National Football League and became an excellent professional football player. His outstanding record made him the first football star in North America. This honor is already a bright constellation comparable to the film industry on Hollywood Avenue. Later, with his handsome appearance and eloquence, Simpson was hired by ABC and NBC as the host of sports programs, which attracted Americans who love sports and became a household name. Soon, he entered the film industry and became a famous masculine actor, starring in Naked Gun and TV series The First and Tenth. Hertz, the largest car rental company in the United States, wanted to hire Simpson as its advertising spokesperson, and the cooperation lasted for 17 years. The largest juice company in the United States used Simpson as its advertising image, which earned Simpson the nickname "juice". 1At midnight on June 2, 994, Nicole and her boyfriend Goodman both fell in a pool of blood in front of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole's apartment. The coroner's report pointed out that a large part of Nicole's neck was cut off and the spine of her neck was exposed. Her boyfriend Goodman died even worse, with more than 20 cuts on his body. The knife marks show that he struggled, resisted and knelt down for mercy, but when the murderer begged for mercy, he still cut off his shoulder with a knife and did not give in at all. The police concluded that the murderer used a sharp knife about 15 inch long. The killer's chopping power was amazing, and he immediately appointed Nicole's ex-husband Simpson as the suspect. Simpson met Nicole two years before 1977' s first divorce, when Nicole was a waiter in a golf club in Beverly Hills. Simpson fell in love with this charming white blonde at once, had an affair, and soon moved in with Nicole. Two years later, Simpson divorced his first wife 1985. After living together for 8 years, Simpson married Nicole. After marriage, they have a son and a daughter. 1992, Simpson and Nicole had to break up their marriage because of fierce conflict, but Simpson never refused to give up her. In the divorce court, the judge calculated that Simpson's mansion in Brunwood, West Hollywood was worth $6.5438+million, and his income in the past five years averaged over $6.5438+0.65438+million. The court ruled that he should pay Nicole 9000 yuan every month, plus 654.38+0500 yuan for raising two children. Nicole then moved out of Simpson's mansion and moved into a 700,000 yuan house 3 kilometers away, while still keeping Simpson and the Italian Ferrari brand car she bought. Although after the divorce, the two sides still live a very rich and comfortable life, Simpson still can't forget Nicole and often goes to Nicole's house to make careful arrangements for the two sides to get married again. 1994+ 10 During the 65438 American Super Bowl, Simpson and Nicole spent two days on a luxury yacht in Florida, spending 10000 yuan a day. Simpson even stopped dating other women and made a commitment to Nicole by taking action to please her. But Nicole's true feelings about her ex-husband and whether she will miss a second chance are still unknown. Another deceased, Goodman, was a waiter at Metzqiuna Restaurant in Brunswick. He is 25 years old, young, handsome and full of ideals. Although he and Nicole have only known each other for a few months, their relationship is unusual. Neighbors often see him playing with Nicole's children and driving Nicole's Ferrari, and Nicole sits next to him. Obviously, there will be no sexual relations between them. On the night of the accident, Nicole came home from dinner at Machaluna, where Goodman served as a waiter, and called the restaurant to say that she had left her sunglasses there. Goodman volunteered to tell the manager that he would like to send the glasses to Nicole's house after work. When Goodman punched out of the store, it was already 9: 36 pm. After drinking a can of beer in the shop, Goodman goes to Nicole's house. According to the police's judgment, the murder may have happened before 1 1, and Goodman and Nicole didn't have time to have an affair. Even Goodman didn't have time to enter Nicole's room. Simpson, the murderer who was lying in ambush, saw it and was jealous for a while. He rushed out and stabbed Nicole to death, and in the struggle with Goodman, he stabbed more than 20 times in a row. This is June 12. On June 16, after careful investigation and detailed analysis, the police announced that Simpson was the only suspect who killed the two men, and issued an arrest warrant, asking Simpson's lawyer Shapih to inform Simpson to surrender voluntarily before noon the next day (1 17). At noon on June 5438+07, Simpson didn't show up on time and drove away with the help of his good friend Collins. At this point, the Los Angeles police immediately announced that Simpson had changed from a murder suspect to a wanted man, and immediately began to hunt down. Later, Simpson and Collins were found driving a white Ford pony jeep on Highway 5. The police dispatched three county police forces to pursue for more than three hours. After Simpson entered his house, Simpson got off the bus and turned himself in to the police. The shock caused by this case in the United States is unprecedented, not only because Simpson is a famous star in sports, movies and advertising, but also because of the dramatic development of this case. On June 5438+07, when Simpson was chased, the three major American television networks ABC, CBS and CNN stopped broadcasting all programs at the same time, and all the focus was on the whole process of Simpson being chased by the police. However, during the trial, the police found that the plaintiff had arranged perjury, so they overturned the charges against Simpson. He was later acquitted. At that time, the police officer who tried to find his innocence was the famous Chinese detective Li Changyu. Simpson's wife murder has something to do with Li Changyu! He helped solve it! He hinted in the interview who was the real murderer! Watch the interview video of Li Changyu's return to China. It's been revealed! The reason for losing the lawsuit Simpson's murder of his ex-wife has aroused great interest in the American public and the press. After more than a year of experiments. The jury made a verdict after analyzing 1 105 testimonies of103 witnesses. 654381on the morning of October 3, 500 million people in America/kloc-0 stopped their work and stared at the TV screen. There are also many TV stations in Europe participating in the live sentencing process. 10: 07, the court officially announced. Simpson is not guilty. Simpson, who was imprisoned for more than nine months, took a deep breath and hugged his lawyer with a big smile. When Nicole and Goldman's relatives burst into tears, Clark and other prosecution lawyers just sat there. Outside the Los Angeles courtroom, Simpson's supporters cheered loudly, and most white people were surprised by the verdict. Even President Clinton personally asked everyone to respect the jury's decision. For many people who proved that Xin was guilty, the failure of the prosecution was incomprehensible. However, American lawyers and criminologists believe that the prosecution lost the case for several reasons. First of all, the prosecution lacked witnesses for the murder from beginning to end and failed to find the murder weapon. Other proofs are mostly inferential and indirect. Secondly, the schedule of crimes cited by the prosecution is unconvincing and many problems are difficult to explain. This is a "card" that the defense has been firmly grasping. But most importantly, there is something wrong with the blood evidence that the prosecution relies on. On the one hand, Detective Furman, who provides criminal evidence, is a racist. Since the Xin case, the defense has pointed this out many times and looked around for evidence. Finally, in August this year, a female writer named McKinney provided a tape of Furman exposing her racial hatred. For example, Furman tore off a black driver's license, accused him of driving without a license, abused black suspects, fabricated false testimony and planted it. Furman even maliciously said that he would pile up the "niggers" and burn them. Furman's behavior provided kirkland with a powerful weapon. He believes that the evidence provided by the police is deliberately planted and is a manifestation of hatred and racism. On the other hand, since 1987 used DNA in litigation, people have been arguing about the methods and effects of DNA sampling. Both sides moved out of the first-class experts in DNA method detection, but reached different conclusions. Moreover, due to the lack of supervision by the police when sampling and inspecting the site, the procedures are not strict enough, which greatly reduces the reliability of sampling. So the prosecution's most powerful criminal evidence base collapsed. Of course, it is still unknown whether the jury dominated by blacks will take the discrimination suffered by blacks in the United States for many years and the bad behavior of police in many cities and cities in the United States as the background of their verdict. Racial relations have become tense again. However, the most serious social problem exposed by the Xin case is the renewed tension in ethnic relations. Because the case involves black stars, black and white relations and other factors, it has a high degree of racial sensitivity. White and black people have always held different views on Simpson's guilt or innocence. Nearly half of the whites were found guilty, while the vast majority of blacks thought Sin was innocent. Most blacks believe that if Simpson is convicted, it will show that the long-term injustice of the American judicial system to blacks continues. Many white people think that if Xin is acquitted, it is because of his dark skin that he is taken care of. Simpson's lawyers have been profiting from this unfortunate racial competition. On the one hand, they attacked the white policeman who was in charge of searching Xin's house as a racist, on the other hand, they deliberately selected jury members, deliberately making blacks the overwhelming majority. It is reported that there is a serious black-and-white opposition in the jury of the Xin case, and the situation is very favorable to Simpson. To be fair, racial relations in the United States have improved since this century. By the 1970s, legal discrimination against blacks had been basically eliminated. Of course, this is mainly the result of the long-term struggle of blacks. However, with the revival of conservatism in the early 1980s, especially after the end of the Cold War, racial relations in the United States became tense again. This was particularly evident in the Simpson trial. At present, the situation of racial relations in the United States is roughly as follows: First, legal discrimination against ethnic minorities dominated by blacks has been basically eliminated, but widespread social racial discrimination with more complicated reasons still exists. A large number of statistics show that there is still a big gap between the overall economic and social status of blacks and the mainstream white society. Second, ethnic relations are "extreme". The lower class blacks are increasingly dissatisfied with the status quo, while the white right wing thinks that the government cares too much for blacks. Third, ethnic relations are becoming increasingly complex. In addition to the contradiction between whites and blacks, with the increase of Hispanic and Asian population, the contradiction between blacks, Hispanics and Asians has become increasingly prominent. In California public schools, hooliganism mainly occurs between black teenagers and Hispanic teenagers. Asians, regarded as model minorities by the mainstream white society, are often attacked by the other two minorities because of their success in business, culture and education. At present, there are many reasons for the resurgence of racial problems in the United States, such as the slow growth of people's income in recent years and the rise of mutual resentment. But the deeper reasons are: first, the black civil rights movement has stagnated. Compared with legal and political discrimination, the discriminatory factors in economic, educational, cultural and other social life are more complicated, including institutional and historical reasons, as well as physiological and psychological factors. The black society itself has also been divided, and some blacks have been brought into the mainstream life and entered the middle or even upper class of society, accounting for about 1/3 of the total number of blacks. They have great differences with the middle and lower black groups on the next step to promote the black civil rights movement. The latter focuses on continuing to demand social care, while the former emphasizes self-rescue and black self-reliance. When President Bush appointed Thomas, a black judge, to the Supreme Court a few years ago, the strongest opposition was several black civil rights organizations, who regarded Thomas as a traitor of their own race. Moreover, the social goals pursued by the civil rights movement at the beginning were very extensive and were widely supported by white society. However, as the goal of the movement gradually focused on fighting for the rights and interests of blacks, many whites gradually withdrew from the movement, and their social foundation naturally narrowed greatly. Second, after the passage of the 1965 immigration law, immigrants from Latin America and Asia increased greatly, and the racial composition of the United States changed greatly, which is the basic reason for the complexity of racial relations. The tense racial relationship is a daily problem faced by American social clubs. It is often said that the future of America depends on the solution of its social problems. Race is one of the biggest social problems in America. The Simpson case, which was originally an extremely ordinary criminal case, was "fired" into a "major case of the century" precisely because its trial process was closely intertwined with racial issues in American society. Simpson's case is over. Moreover, according to California law, even if there is new evidence in the future, he can no longer be accused of murder. But who killed Nicole and Goldman? This is still a suspense. If the Simpson case happened in China, the court would make the opposite judgment. Lawyers can only collect evidence by themselves, even the evidence provided by the police is unreliable. The right to silence is a bad system, and the protection of criminal suspects should be reduced. Allen dershowitz, a well-known professor at Harvard Law School, told the author bluntly. On March 20th, at the Sino-American advanced seminar on criminal trial practice held in Beijing, the professor who was a defense lawyer in Simpson case was the keynote speaker and accepted an exclusive interview with the author after the meeting. There are also state judges with poor quality in the United States. Generally speaking, the United States is a country with a sound legal system and a relatively high quality of judges. However, Professor dershowitz told the author that there are also problems in the American judge system, and even people with poor quality become state judges. In Alabama, there is a judge with poor professional quality. He is also an extreme racist and religious figure. The client nicknamed him "legal ignorance". The judge hung the Ten Commandments of the Bible in a civil court and tried it according to the provisions of the Bible. This violates the constitutional rights of non-Christians, because you can't demand non-Christians with the rules and regulations in the Bible. Before every trial, he would recite the eulogy in the Bible. According to American law, if he does not correct this practice, he will be disqualified as a judge. And he not only refused to correct it, but also decided to fight for justice in Alabama. Because Alabama is a region with great religious influence, he won the votes of many religious citizens and finally won. This example illustrates the disadvantages of the public election system of state judges in the United States. Whether the candidate is elected or not is related to the popularity of the candidate in the state. Mr. dershowitz said that such an absurd thing could not happen in China, because the selection of judges in China was not influenced by public will. If the Simpson case happened in China, every reporter who interviewed Professor dershowitz all over the world asked him, "As Mr. Simpson's defense lawyer, do you think he is guilty?" "Every time, Mr. dershowitz avoided according to the' convention', but he pointed out that if the Simpson case happened in China, the court would make the opposite judgment. As we all know, in Simpson's case, the police have enough evidence to prove that Simpson killed his ex-wife and her boyfriend, but in order to make the case more "irrefutable", they foolishly forged a pair of socks stained with Simpson's and his ex-wife's blood. It was these socks that were finally proved to be laboratory products by Mr. dershowitz and his hired biochemist, and the jury was in an uproar. There is a famous evidence rule in American law: "There can only be one bug in noodles". This is an image metaphor: when anyone finds a bug in his noodle bowl, he will never look for the second one again, but will only throw out the whole bowl of noodles. Similarly, even if LAPD obtained a lot of evidence to prove Simpson's guilt, as long as one of them (socks) was illegally obtained, all the evidence would not be accepted by the court. Therefore, the jury found him acquitted. In China, the rule of evidence is "based on facts and taking the law as the criterion", and the power of people's jurors is far less than that of American juries. On the premise that there is considerable evidence to prove the criminal facts of the suspect, the judge will convict the defendant despite some flaws in the way of obtaining evidence. " Then my lawsuit will be lost. "Mr. dershowitz said with a smile." Don't trust anyone "is a note posted in Mr. dershowitz's office:" Don't trust anyone ",which is his professional creed as a lawyer. Dershowitz once represented a criminal case in New York State, in which he met a rogue witness. He called dershowitz and said, "Will you pay me if I present evidence in your favor in court?" Dershowitz flatly refused. The witness went on to say, "Then can you pay for my transportation from home to court?" "dershowitz assured him:" This is allowed by law. This conversation was recorded by the witness with a tape recorder and edited. The conversation turned into "As long as Mr. dershowitz testifies for the defendant in court, he will pay the witness. Unable to claim the property, the witness angrily handed the videotape to the police station and accused dershowitz of bribing the witness. Fortunately, dershowitz made the recording himself, which avoided going to jail. Dershowitz firmly believes that lawyers can only obtain evidence by themselves, and anyone's evidence, even the police's, is unreliable. I have the right to refuse to tell you my name? China is carrying out judicial reform, and the United States has also proposed reforms in the field of criminal justice. Dershowitz believes that the judicial reforms of the two countries are in opposite directions. Chinese scholars constantly call for strengthening the litigation rights of criminal suspects and defendants. In the United States, criminals have paid less and less attention to the police and prosecutors, because they have gained a wide range of rights granted by law. The law emphasizes that the price of fully protecting criminals' human rights is the rise of crime rate in the United States today. For example, on the question of whether a criminal suspect who has caused a heated debate in the legal field in China can enjoy the right to silence, the pros obviously have the upper hand. The United States is a country that explicitly stipulates the "right to silence" in its law, but dershowitz said, "This is a bad system. An extreme example is that one of his clients arrogantly scolded the prosecutor in court: "I have the right to refuse to tell you my name." Therefore, Professor dershowitz believes that the direction of judicial reform in the United States is to reduce the legal protection of criminal suspects, while China should gradually increase the legal rights of criminal suspects and defendants in the process of criminal proceedings from the original starting point. "Maybe one day we will come together", he made a gesture of crossing his hands. "No country in the world has a perfect criminal law system, such as China and the United States. Justice needs to be pursued and pursued, because we can't reach a perfect justice reality, we must pursue it. Justice is not a result, but a process. I congratulate China on its efforts in the right direction. 」
