LAPD Tests Knife Found on Simpson's Old Estate

Could this be the murder weapon?

LAPD: "We're conducting tests on a knife purportedly found at Simpson's old property."

On Friday, the LAPD announced that a knife was allegedly found on Simpson's former estate in Brentwood. The discovery has stirred memories of the infamous 1994 murder trial, in which Simpson was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

The LAPD said that it is conducting tests on the knife to determine if it was used in the murders. However, initial test results indicate that no information or DNA evidence could be derived from the handle or blade of the knife as soil in the ground where the knife was found may have contaminated the evidence.

The discovery of the knife has raised questions about whether Simpson could be retried for the murders. However, legal experts say that it is unlikely that Simpson will be retried, as the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution generally prevents a person from being tried twice for the same crime.

The LAPD is continuing to investigate the discovery of the knife, and more information is expected to be released in the coming days.
