Flaws in the OJ Simpson Case
Though the OJ Simpson Case was among the cases which received the largest followership in the history of America court cases, there were so many flaws, weaknesses and failures which were witnessed in the course of the case and even in the delivery of the judgment (Allen, 1996). Though OJ Simpson was found innocent of the crime that involved the death of his ex-wife, there is a lot of evidence which shows that the judgment of the case could have been otherwise. To begin with, the first flaw to this case was that the media was too much involved. Since OJ Simpson was a celebrity, this case attracted many media platforms and this made the case be talked everyone. The problem with the media is that most of the media platforms failed to capture and disperse information concerning the real issue in the case; rather they talked about other issues which were not of significant in the case. Most media platforms focused on the racial orientation of OJ Simpson. Since he was a black American, the media focused mainly on his race rather than the crime that had been committed in this case and for this reason, the judges seems to have changed their might on the outcome of the case. The judge’s decision seems to have been influenced by the way the media talked about racial orientation of the OJ Simpson. If the outcome of the case was otherwise, this could have sparked a lot of tension in US and there it may have pone of the reasons why the case outcome was in favor of Simpson. Another flaw that took place in the process of this case was the filing of the downtown by the cost prosecutors. The prosecutor’s decision of not seeking a death penalty cost prosecutors the benefits of not having a “death-qualified” judge, which according to various studies this suggests that would be more possible to convict. According to Morrison (2010) a death-qualified judge is a highly knowledgeable judge from which all the judges whose opposition to capital punishment may inhibit them from imposing a death sentence have been excluded.
Another flow in the process of this case was the police inability to use the complicated science to help solve the crime. From the investigation that was carried out, it was found that there was a lot of inefficiencies in the in procedures, competence and cleanliness on the Police Department's crime lab, which is the core of its scientific capability in fighting crimes. While counterchecking the graphs and other presentations of the case, it was found that most of the simple and powerful bar graphs showed that the DNA analyses were highly contaminated in the crime lab in both 1993 and 1994 (Walker, 2003). The bar graphs, showing the rates of contamination resembled the record of a bull market, gradually rising one month after another, disrupted only sporadically by a dip. From the DNA analyses, the evidence was already contaminated and therefore could not be sufficiently relied to offer reliable information. Another flaw or weakness in process of this case was the decision to force Simpson to try the grove that was used in the execution of the murder. When Simpson tried the groves they could not fit him and this was a sufficient reason to suggest that Simpson did not participate in the murder of Nicole Brown. There was a great flaw in this as it comes to be learnt later. There are various reasons that could have led to the groves failure to fit Simpson. The groves could have shrunk due to the blood that had dried on them. According to Dickinson & Anderson (2004), failure of the groves to fit in Simpson hand led to his judge, Cochran use of the various quote "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.”
Presentation of so much evidence was another blunder that took place in the course of the case. During the case, there was presentation of a lot of evidence from so many witnesses within a long period of time and this made the case lose most of its force. Due to the long time that the case too before the final judgment, many people became bored and monotonous of the case and this made the case loss much of the force that it had begun with. As a result the media focus among other key concerned people lost their grip hence leaving various malicious parties with the ease to interfere with the outcome of the case.
Critical suggestions for ways in which these investigative failures could have been overcome
To begin with, there no need to have bulky evidence provided in a case which just needs little but strong evidence. This case did not require the much evidence that was used rather it needed the application of little but significant information. The presentation of huge amount of this information made the case to take a very long period of time and this led to it losing much of the force that it had started with.
Secondly, the investigative failures could have been overcome by use of common sense. It is clear that once any piece of cloth has been soaked in blood and dries up it shrinks. This could have been applied in this case and Simpson should not have been required to try the grove. Lastly, homicide investigations should be done in foreign forensic laboratories which have been proved to be independent. The fact that lab results were manipulated while in the police laboratory department is a great worry and therefore it is clear that forensic information in home police labs could be manipulated in the favor of the highest bidder. In the future there is a need to ensure that such homicide investigations which attract millions of followers are done in foreign laboratories which have a track record of transparency.

Conclusion
In conclusion, there is a need to ensure that most of the critical homicide cases are handled in foreign nations to avoid interference of forensic information hence the whole case. The OJ Simpson Case was highly influenced and this led to many flaws in the judgment.
