OJ Simpson: Police say new evidence may be bogus



Los Angeles police officials said on Friday they were conducting tests on a knife that was claimed to be found on a property owned by O.J. Simpson at the time he was accused and later acquitted of two murders 21 years ago.

LAPD spokesman Andrew Neiman said the knife was turned over in the past month by a retired police officer who said he obtained it from someone working on a construction site at the property.
Neiman said the knife would be tested for DNA evidence but added it was possible that "the whole story is bogus from the get-go." Neiman declined to name the retired police officer or to say why the knife had come to light only last month.

Simpson's ex-wife and Ronald Goldman were stabbed multiple times in the neck and head, but the murder weapon was never found at the time of the nine-month trial that ended in 1995 with Simpson's acquittal.

Simpson cannot be prosecuted again for the two killings because that would constitute double jeopardy.
