OJ Simpson Trial Quiz: Have You Got What It Takes To Be A Detective? (Quiz)

In his glory days, O.J. Simpson was a record-setting superstar, the first NFL player ever to rush 2000 yards in a season.

But on June 17, 1994, the sports legend was on what would become his most unforgettable run, chased in his white Ford Bronco by police up Interstate 405 as millions of Americans watched on TV.

This came just four days after Nicole Brown Simpson, O.J.'s ex-wife, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, were brutally murdered outside a condo in Los Angeles.

What followed was one of the most closely-watched murder trials in American history. The prosecution built a case using an array of DNA evidence, but Simpson's legal "dream team" mounted an unrelenting defense, convincing the jury there were flaws in the collection of evidence and raising suspicion that racism tainted the investigation.

It was the gloves that allegedly were bought at Bloomingdales in NYC. Nobody ever found the Bruno Maglis (which btw, were really a size 10). It was merely claimed that O.J. owned such a pair of shoes. And if nobody ever found the shoes, how could they have been tested for blood evidence?

It will tell you if you get the badge after completing it. I don't think how you answers matters all that much. You just have to do an x-amount of quizzes.

My answers were scrambled. The ones I got wrong are not the answers I supplied. What's up with that?

"B. To this day, it remains unclear why the defense did not present the car chase as evidence to the Simpson jury. The car contained a passport, gun, cheap disguise and $8,000 in cash."

Why would defense present evidence that would make Simpson look guilty?
