OJ Simpson says there are reasonable doubts about Murdaugh’s murder trial

“From what I’ve seen, I think it’s more likely that he did it? Yes,” OJ Simpson said in a tweet. “But more likely is reasonable doubt.”

The man whose murder case has arguably made following a live trial a huge public obsession tweeted his opinion on the Alex Murdaugh trial on Thursday.

OJ Simpson has been cleared of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her boyfriend, Ronald Goldman. His 1994 trial was often called the “trial of the century” because at the time it was considered the most publicized trial in history – you probably remember his pursuit by the Ford Bronco police force of more than 95 years Millions of people watched it live on TV.

“I saw him take a stand,” Simpson said of Murdaugh in his tweet. “I thought it was probably a mistake because the guy is an admitted liar.”

Left to right: Maggie, Paul and Alex Murdaugh.

Alex Murdaugh is accused of killing his wife Maggie and youngest son Paul to cover up or distract investigators from his admitted financial crimes.

Simpson said he believes Murdaugh took the stand to tell a juror or two that he was a “good ol’ boy” and admits that “lying and stealing is different from murder.”

The former soccer star continued, “I’m not qualified to really say whether the guy did it or not,” before adding, “From what I’ve seen, I think it’s more likely that he did.” has ? Yes. But more likely corresponds to a reasonable doubt. So, as far as I know, I have to say that there are many legitimate doubts.”

Simpson says he’s confident Murdaugh will eventually go to jail for all the financial crimes he admitted on the witness stand, but on the murder charges, “I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if he beats that. I’m just saying.”

In an interesting turn of events, Simpson said, “I think he should be investigated more because of the death of his housekeeper a few years ago, which ended up with over $4 million in insurance money. I think they should take a close look at that.”

Gloria Satterfield died in 2018 under mysterious circumstances.

Said housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, used to work for the Murdaugh family. She reportedly tripped and fell down the stairs at her home in South Carolina in 2018 and later died. Prior to the incident, Alex reportedly purchased commercial insurance and collected more than $4.3 million from the claim he was making in connection with her death.

In September 2022, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) announced in a press release that they would open a criminal investigation into her death:

“Based on a request today from the Hampton County Coroner, as well as information gathered during our other ongoing investigations regarding Alex Murdaugh, SLED is opening a criminal investigation into the death of Gloria Satterfield and the handling of her estate. ” says the press release.
