Summary: The title says it all.
Review: A believable step by step account of what really happened during the Simpson investigation and trial including what went on behind the scenes. Agonizing to read if you believe O.J. did it because of all the incriminating evidence Marcia Clark incredibly chose not to use. After reading this I'm more convinced than ever, the first jury blew it!
Rating: 
Summary: revealing and reveting
Review: A step-by-step approach to finding a killer, a mountain of evidense, a lot the jury did not know. But basically the so-called jury did not believe in Science.

Summary: Black Racism
Review: All that this book does is confirm what everyone, (except a large proportion of the black population) knows - that Simpson butchered two people and got away with it.If it had not been for the blatant naked racism of the jury, Simpson would by now, hopefully, be rotting in hell where he belongs.

Summary: Guilty or Not
Review: Det. Lange and Vannatter told their side of the story using evidence that for one reason or another was not presented during the trial. Not all evidence points to Simpsons guilt but a majority of it did. This book is recommanded for people who don't have an opinion of Simpsons guilt or innconents. Evidence Dismissed is an excellent book to add to the Simpson book collection.

Summary: The Final Verdict
Review: I agree with much that has been written by other reviewers at Amazon and do not want to rehearse those points here. Yes, much evidence that pointed to Simpson's guilt never made it into the courtroom and never reached the jurors. Judge Ito's rulings, prosecutorial misconduct, and LAPD's ineptitude all played a role. And yes, Simpson participated in the murders beyond any doubt. Yet jurors entertained reasonable doubts precisely because of some of Vannatter's testimony and mishandling of evidence. This puzzle points to some paradoxes at the heart of this book. Vannatter claimed that when the four detectives -- the usual complement for notifying a man who is not longer next of kin that his ex is dead -- invaded Simpson's estate, Simpson was not a suspect. This is paradox one. If Simpson were not a suspect by the time the four got to his place, then the four were incompetent detectives. If Simpson was a suspect, then the four precipitated a search as illegal as the one they conducted after Vannatter lied to get a search warrant. So which is it? Liar or incompetent? In addition, Vannatter drove about LA with Simpson's blood for no good reason that he even he can conjure. You do not have to be Jackie Chiles or Johnnie Cochran to find that inexplicable road trip to be explicable in a way that helps Simpson. The second paradox to be highlighted, then, is that Vannatter dismissed himself! In sum, this book poses a third paradox. If the reader is credulous enough to believe these Keystone Kops, the reader is credulous enough to believe Simpson's lawyers. Hmmmmmmmmm!

Summary: Excellent reading wihtout the legal jargon!
Review: If you ever had any doubt on 'whodunit' you won't after reading this one. Dets. Lange and Vanatter describe, in detail, from the time of their wakeup calls on that fateful day through the criminal trial the whos, whats, wheres, and whys, that you probably haven't heard before even if you were an avid trial follower! Don't miss it

Summary: Riveting and truthful
Review: Interesting and I thought factual. Later stages concentrates on placing blame on the lack of conviction. But all considered...a must read.

Summary: The Homicide investigators sequence of events
Review: Investigators Vannatter and Lang sequence the events of a double homicide investigation. Feeling that much evidence was dismissed or not provided for the jury, they provide a pragmatic experience for the complexities of Detective work
