Hypothesis

1. The prosecution should have appealed the verdict to a higher appeals court arguing that the defendant’s behavior during the trial was so egregious that the verdict should be overturned.

1a. OJ Simpson is guilty of the murder of Goldman and Brown 

2.Linder, D. (2008). The Trial of Orenthal James Simpson. Available at SSRN 1305244. https://famous-trials.com/simpson/1862-home.

This is about the criminal trial for the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Victims were brutally stabbed to death, and OJ Simpson took off shortly after this incident. This gave me a visualization of how the murders happened that night. Police gathered enough information to arrest Oj Simpson, but Simpson pleaded not guilty. This also gave me an insight of the Trial.

This gave me a timeline of the Trial of the Century. Exact times were giving and dates as well.Murders were taken place outside of O.J Simpsons Brentwood home in california. I used this to describe more about how Simpson fled. He was later spotted driving a white bronco, he eventually surrendered at his home.

3. Definition/Classification Argument

   Cause/Effect Argument

Rebuttal Argument 

4. The current state of my research paper is going a lot better. When I wrote the first short argument (definition argument) I was all over the place with it and was not feeling to confident. I acquired some help for my next essay and did so much better. I still have to fix my first short argument, but overall I’m feeling pretty good now.
