11 items · 11 video · 8 with detail pages

Raw footage and photographs from O.J. Simpson's May 1994 Playboy exercise video shoot—filmed just weeks before the murders—document his physical condition at a forensically crucial moment. Both prosecution and defense used this evidence to argue Simpson's physical capability during the period of the crimes. From raw taping sessions to the edited commercial release and on-set photographs, these materials anchored the trial's central physical-capability arguments.
