=Wordle : O.J. ' s Emotions= == This mainly explains O.J's feelings that are explained in the articales we read. We found that he abused his wife both verbally and physically. He even cheated during his marriage to Nicole Brown Simpson. O.J. was extremely inconsiderate to his wife too, making her have low self-esteem always expecting something from her.

//What emotions do you think that O.J had about the murder case?//

Wordle: The Evidence/Case

These are some words that were included in the court case and the evidence the investigators had found too. But through all the blood, the footprints, and all the DNA O.J. Simpson still was not found guilty. Through the time limit it appear that O.J. could not have done the murder. However Nicole's family still was able to sue because he held some responsibility even if legally he was not a crminal/murderer.

//If you were to recreate this wordle, would you use the same words? Would you change or add onto the wordle?//

I made this Glog to display the case of O.J Simpson's murder. I showed the two victims with one casual picture and one picture of them from the murder scene. I also displayed a mug shot of O.J Simpson. I described the evidence the police found and the controversy of the case in general. Though numerous people had different thoughts from one another, Simpson in the end was found innocent not guilty.

=Slide Show: O.J's Evidences, Yet Escape= media type="custom" key="6585701" Slide Show

For the slide show, I put the victims and the murderer because they are the main people involved in this crime. Then, I put it in a a newspaper format and those people taking photographs to make it seem like it was an "infamous". There is no song I found suitable for this event. DNA evidence was a huge role in finding the murderer, and the blood in the crime scene was mixed with Simpson's blood. In the end though, he wasn't guilty of murder, but he was responsible for their deaths instead, so he was sued 33.5 million dollars.

Questions to Research:


 * 1) What was O.J's life growing up?
 * 2) Do you suppose it wasn't entirely O.J's fault? Could it have been his wife? Why/Why Not?
 * 3) What song do you think would have been suitable for this case?
 * 4) Do you think it was fair that he got sued 33.5 million dollars, but wasn't guilty of murder?
 * 5) Why wasn't he guilty?

**__Case Overview__** -How did Science influence this court case? Forensic evidence, DNA evidence -How did this court case influence society as a whole? The case was and is still highly contraversial due to questions if aspects of the case were racially motivated, the politics of the case such as fear that race riots would arupt in Los Angeles if O.J Simpson was convicted and the severity of the crimes that he was acused of. -How did the science in this case impact the way the people and the government interact? The case had significant scientific evidence against O.J Simpson but he wasn’t convicted causing contaversy between the court systems and people who thought Simpson was guilty. -Has the case been resolved or will there be further action in the courts? It has been resolved. Yes Orenthal James Simpson was found not guilty in the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman but was sued in a civil case for being liable for the deaths and the victims families received $33.5 million for punitive and compensatory damages. =
