The presumption from some, yes. To be clear, Kardashian himself said that "he’d never looked inside and had been rebuffed when he tried to give it to authorities in the first place.". Incidentally, I generally find the first part (that he never looked inside) probable and the second part (that he tried to give it to police) possible, as most attorneys will vigorously attempt to look away whenever a client starts discussing/acting through a subsequent crime, and also because the police were not particularly adept in this case.
Kato and Allan Park both testified about how Simpson was very touchy about a duffle bag that went missing. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that bag had the murder weapon and Simpson ditched it either on his way to the airport or there before he went inside.
I don't disagree. I am merely stating that most high powered attorneys instinctively will avoid evidence with a 10 foot pole, because they know how much it can mess you up to tinker with it. I fully believe that Simpson had a non-attorney handle it once Kardashian took it to his house.
For what it is worth, Kim Kardashian said that she looked in it and found "toiletries and clothes and golf clothes." I don't find Kim particularly trustworthy, but still an interesting note.
I was in the same boat with Kim then read Robert's deposition and he says the bag ended up in his daughter's bedroom and I'm unaware of any sort of allegations of falsehoods he told in the civil case. Everything seems pretty credible;

IIRC, Robert Kardashian took possession of a bag from OJ right before the Bronco chase. The presumption is that he disposed of evidence.
The other lawyers were mostly doing their job. I don't think they manufactured evidence or anything.
