The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has made public a set of 475 pages of documents related to the infamous murder investigation of former NFL player O.J. Simpson. These documents shed light on the 1994 stabbing deaths of Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

Simpson, a person of interest in the case, was ultimately charged and stood trial in 1995. The trial garnered unprecedented worldwide attention and became one of the most renowned trials of the past century. However, Simpson was acquitted of all charges on October 3, 1995.

The recently released FBI documents, labeled as "Part 01," primarily focus on the evidence collected and tested during the investigation. They include details about the testing of fibers found at the crime scene and blood analysis.

Interestingly, the FBI went beyond American borders to study a specific brand of shoes, known as Bruno Magli, believed to have been worn by the murderer. Investigators extensively traced the sales and analyzed the soles of two models of these rare shoes sold in the U.S. at the time.

Due to the immense media attention surrounding the case, the FBI had issued a memo to their investigators emphasizing the need for confidentiality. The memo highlighted the potential prejudicial impact that public dissemination could have on the pending criminal proceedings.

While some names in the released documents have been redacted, it remains uncertain whether more documents relating to the case will be released in the future. Previously, the FBI has released documents in batches after thorough review by its agents.

Following his acquittal, Simpson faced a civil court case, where he was found liable for wrongful death and instructed to pay $33.5 million in damages to the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Simpson consistently maintained his innocence until his death in April.

The FBI's public release of these records is a customary procedure for maintaining information on individuals after their demise. The newly available documents provide a comprehensive insight into the meticulous investigation into the murders and the extensive efforts made by law enforcement authorities during that time.
