I was surprised to see this "news" which bought back memories of the very slow police chase of a white Bronco in LA so long ago. This could be the equivalent of the smoking gun. I hope that this evidence will help solve the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman after so many years. This reminds me of one of the new TV police drams like NCIS and Hawaii 5.0.
"A knife found buried under O.J. Simpson’s former Los Angeles estate where he lived at the time of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman is undergoing forensic testing, Fox News confirmed Friday.
TMZ reports a construction worker found the blood-stained knife years ago and gave it to an off-duty cop who kept it in his home before finally turning it over to police in January. TMZ did not specify when the knife was found, but reported that it may have been around the time the home was destroyed in 1998.
His property was in the Brentwood section of LA. In 1995, a jury found him not guilty of murder after the so-called "Trial of the Century" dominated the media for months. Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, her friend, were found stabbed to death in June of 1994.
In 1997, a jury found Simpson civilly liable for the slayings. He's now imprisoned in Nevada on a robbery-kidnap conviction.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ the blade is a folding buck knife and is now being tested for hair and fingerprints after being handed over the LAPD’s Robbery and Homicide Division.
Sources told the site the department’s Serology Unit will test the blade for DNA and other biological evidence next week, according to the New York Post. Simpson likely cannot be prosecuted again for the stabbings because of constitutional protections against being charged for the same crime twice, or double-jeopardy.
Cops who saw the weapon said it appeared to have blood residue on it, but it’s extremely rusted and stained, requiring further testing.
TMZ reports the construction worker who told police he stumbled on the knife couldn’t remember the exact date when it happened.
He gave it to an LAPD standing across the street. But the cop, assigned to the traffic division, was off-duty at the time and never alerted higher-ups to the discovery, the Post reported.
In late January the traffic cop contacted a friend in the homicide division and told him he was getting the knife framed for his wall.
According to TMZ, the cop even asked his friend to get the department’s record number for the Simpson-Goldman murder case so he could engrave it in the frame. He was forced to surrender the knife to LAPD when the friend told superiors.
Sources told TMZ authorities are keeping their investigation top secret and under wraps, even loading the case into a computer system outside the official case file."

"TMZ reports a construction worker found the blood-stained knife years ago and gave it to an off-duty cop who kept it in his home before finally turning it over to police in January.

This was pointless to broadcast. You found it years ago, didn't turn it in, give it to a cop who then keeps it? This would be hilarious.
