With all the hoopla surrounding the American Crime Story show about the case, many people have regained interest in Simpson. In fact, a knife was recovered on a property once owned by the former football player in March, and people wondered whether he could still be found guilty for Brown and Goldman's murders.
The answer is, simply, no. Despite anything that may be discovered or revealed in the future, Criminal Defense Attorney Troy Slaten Simpson explained to E! News, "Nobody can be tried twice for the same crime. O.J. was found Not Guilty of murder, so that is the end of the story for him...The U.S. constitution prohibits the government from trying somebody twice for the same crime. So even if we find new, incontrovertible evidence that proves his guilt, 100 percent, he cannot be tried again, and the federal government cannot try him either."
Slaten also explained that, since the trial occurred over 20 years ago (in 1994) the statute of limitations has long passed.
