BURIED KNIFE FOUND AT O.J.'S ESTATE

The story is incredible. We're told a construction worker found the knife years ago -- we have heard several different stories, ranging from "several years ago" to 1998, when the house was demolished.

The weapon is a folding buck knife.

Our law enforcement sources say the construction worker took the knife to the street, where he saw an LAPD cop. He told the officer where he found the knife and the cop took it.

Turns out the cop -- who worked in the traffic division -- was off duty at the time, working security for a movie shoot at a house across the street on Rockingham. Our sources say the officer took the knife home and kept it ... kept it for years.

In late January of this year, after the cop retired from the LAPD, he contacted a friend who worked in LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division (RHD). The cop told the friend about the knife and said he was getting it framed to put on his wall. He wanted his friend to get the DR (Departmental Record) number for the Nicole Brown Simpson/Ronald Goldman murder case, which he planned on engraving in the frame.

We're told the friend was indignant, and told his superiors. The brass was outraged and demanded that the retired cop turn the knife over, which he did.

Our sources say the knife is currently being tested for hair and fingerprints. It will be moved to the Serology Unit next week, where it will be tested for DNA and other biological evidence.

Groundbreaking (ha!) or a big bunch of nothing.

I swear, if this turns out to be an FX marketing ploy for The People vs OJ Simpson...

If he can't get prosecuted for the same crime because of double jeopardy, what can even come of this is the investigation turns out that there's some kind of incriminating evidence on it?

Yeah, a whole lot of nothing

While I believe this "folding knife" doesn't fit the type of knife, I can say that if it had turned out to be the knife then it would accomplish a few things - be able to close an open criminal case (double murder) possibly, show just how f'd up the trial was if it was indeed OJ and more so a review of what went on during the trial which could be used for future trials and law cases. Let's recall, quite a bit of evidence was suppressed including the fact that Nicole Simpson's implants were removed by being cut out by a knife -a very personal and sexual/aggressive action.

It would also show how inept the LAPD is. A cop holding evidence for years before turning it over. Even if it was a murder weapon how would we know. The thing is so contaminated at thing point it would not be admissible.

That too should be added to the additional items if it is the case. Let the truth stand on its own merits for better or worse.
