An interview with Tom Lange, lead investigator in the OJ Simpson case

[@thekcsugethe_kc_suge7930]

The interview was enough to convict Simpson. He contradicted himself over and over. The prosecution was stupid not to use it as evidence in the trial.

[@Jeromemayle]

OJ contradicted himself???? All of the detectives REPEATEDLY got caught either lying or contradicting themselves or others. Did you even watch the trial???? It's on KZbin in its entirety. Countless hours of prosecution witnesses contradicting themselves, each other and logic. For example, why didn't OJ use a gun? He owned one. And you can't say he was worried about being caught.... Because he supposedly left a bloody bronco parked out in the street.

[@palerider964]

You are 💯💯💯correct!!

[@readmore4178]

It didn’t matter. The trial was a farce. They were always going to acquit him. They knew he did it. They didn’t care. The jury was racist.

[@palerider964]

Tom Lange sounds like he was a great detective. It's just a shame that murdering bastard wasn't convicted.

[@sega62s]

who told you he is a murderer, he was not convicted, and secondly did you ever think who else could have done that ? You beat your wife does NOT make you a murderer. Many people use to beat their wives and still do, but murder is a different level. I think that he might have tell someone to do it….maybe, but remember that there was a women who lived with Nicole brown that was a heavy drug user, and the way they were killed, might point to a drug deal situation , the throat cutting is made by a pro, not a mad husband….

Or how about Lange carrying the Reebok shoes without gloves under his arm and taking them home with him. Vannatter bringing OJ's blood to Rockingham to book it in with the criminalist instead of taking it to the lab. Wearing no protective covering on their shoes before trampling all over that crime scene. I could go on all day but you get the point!

A hospital blanket? I’m pretty sure Lange testified the blanket was from inside Nicole’s condo. Which I’ve seen & that being said, OJ did it.

[@Romulan2469]

He screwed up big time with that blanket taken from Nicole's condo to cover her body. That blood drop evidence on her back was crucial to identifying the killer and it was all lost due to poor crime scene investigation techniques which the defense used to their advantage to set him free.

EXPERIENCED????!!!! Him and Vannatter didn't even contact the criminalists or coroner until hours later. IN FACT the criminalists were at OJ's before they even went to the murder scene and when they got there, the coroner was already moving the bodies. Your experienced investigator supposedly went to OJ's for the most moronic reason then proceeded to spend more time at OJ's than the murder scene. They spent 10-15 minutes investigating the murder scene - then ran to OJ's. Then spent a half hour "ALLEDLY" looking for ways to get ahold of OJ...because they didn't have OJ's phone number. NEVER ONCE thinking "Hey, let's ask OJ's daughter who's in the 4th grade for it".... EXPERIENCED???!!!! This jackass couldn't investigate a phone number out of a kid.

[@kristinahultman3779]

Interesting. Comprehensive. Thank you.

[@brandihilton8485]

The entire thing was a circus!! They had all of the evidence to condem him for life. The prosecution had a huge burden to prove to Ito that they had direct evidence linking him to this crisis. He was a jealous man, He didn't like the idea that Nicole was done with him & decided to move on with her life & be a single mother to their young children. He absolutely decided that if he couldn't have Nicole, no one was going to have her either. He was furious that Nicole ignored him at the recital. She had no desire to talk to him. I think the bag that was destroyed was critical to prove that he was the one who did this. The attorneys should have been gagged. The jury was sequestered for months!! The blood evidence was over whelming!. That would have been enough for me. He had no right to control Nicole & do this to her & Ron. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time- He tried to return Nicole's moms sunglasses. Nothing more. I understand Ito was upset that his wife was brought into the courtroom & tried to include her. For what reason?. Covid was not even around or knew about the disease until now, not in 1994!!! No idea why he mentioned this matter. Beyond me.

[@alexscott730]

It wasn't about no one else having her.It had everything to do with OJ's need to be the winner in that war and in his self centered mind he was also saving 11,000$ of alimoni payments if she didn't exist anymore.He was such a delisional socio/psychopath on multiple levels and anyone who doesn't see that about him from a mile away is a f#ckin clueless low i.q idiot....

[@itsharryhagen]

He had stalked her while she was with other men before. It’s on the 911 call (one of them). Paula broke up with him that morning. So his day started out bad and then got worse with Nicole and her family ignoring him but i think something set him off and what ever that was, sent over to her place. But, maybe unlike other times…instead of just fighting back…one theory is that she came out with a knife. OJs friend said in the ESPN Docuseries that OJ told him that, had she not come out with a knife, things would have been different. Couple that with some other theories and it may be more nuanced than he just went over there to straight up kill. But regardless, i believe he was there and assisted or just did it himself.

[@dyates6380]

If you're going to surmise or critique and look into every case as if the people whose job it is to collect evidence are all there to plant evidence or remove evidence - for literally NO clear reason or motivation with the sole purpose of framing an innocent person and putting themselves in the position to be charged, then, why even bother? If we go into anything with the suspicion that whoever has a job as that person is untrustworthy or even homicidal, then why even have someone put tires on your car? After all, maybe the guy who rotated your tires is a sociopath and wants to kill you? It's a possibility, right? Or why ever eat at a restaurant because someone can be spitting in your food or even worse than that, right? With a mindset like that, why bother even believing anyone is EVER an honest person, just doing a job? Is anything possible? I guess, within reason, and I guess I could be struck by lightning today too. This case fascinated me, and I was in a job where the television was on in the adjacent bar from the restaurant I worked in so we had a chance to watch a lot of this live. It was in downtown Buffalo and the vast majority of our clientele was black, so there was a lot of debate going on, but if any case I've ever seen in my life had more than sufficient evidence to convict, this one did. Between Garcetti's inept prosecutors to Ito's loss of control in the courtroom, this was an injustice. At least the civil trial had the right verdict and oh by the way, I'm sure people reading this now, some twenty eight years later, are aware that two of the jurors have come out and publicly stated that they were going to vote for an acquittal regardless of the evidence based on their contempt for the LAPD and the Rodney King case. So, there's that. Water under the bridge though.
