Newly unsealed records raise questions about O.J. Simpson murder case

• 

  Newly unsealed court records and a New York Times investigation have raised questions about whether an accomplice may have been involved in the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

• 

  The records describe an informant who told authorities about the missing murder weapon, while his brother told The Times that the informant was at the crime scene.

• 

  The Guardian reports that prosecutors could not fully investigate whether O.J. Simpson had an accomplice because the information emerged too late for the trial.

• 

  Simpson was acquitted in 1995 and was later held liable for the deaths in a civil case.

• 

  No one was ever criminally convicted for the murders.
