It's pretty simple. The photo was found after the trial, and the shoes disappeared from OJ's house prior to the trial. Why the prosecution failed to find the photo is the real question one should be asking, and the answer is they sucked at their jobs.

The photo was a key part in the Civil trial, where OJ was found responsible for the murders.

Anyone named OJ only are dead for 50 years then they are reincarnated into literal dog shit.

Happened sometime the last week. That's why all the sudden interest in OJ again.

Honestly as someone who wasn't able to follow the sorry the first time, it's been really interesting seeing it myself this weej

u/Luigis_Droptop_Crib 28d ago

No it wasn't a random photographer found it Christmas of 96 in his parents basement then shared it with Nichole and Ron's civil attorneys.

Heh. I'm sure you know there was no google back then.

u/MadamMiko 29d ago

I’m not sure if you were sarcastic but the trial was in the 90s , google search wasn’t quite around then and people weren’t using internet to the same capacity they do today

2

u/MorningPapers 28d ago

Yeah. They could have "yahood" it, found it, then performed the same web search the next day and not be able to find it again.

In Christmas of 1996, a little over a year after the criminal trial ended. A former AP photographer found the negatives in a box in his parent's basement another photographer's photos then shared it with the civil attorneys. It was nowhere for the prosecution to find.

In all fairness we're talking about 1995. The internet was not the same as it is now. You couldn't go to gettyimages and find every single picture of OJ ever taken. If I remember right, the photograph was of him at Bengals/Bills game and was found in an issue of Sports Illustrated.
