Simpson Hand Injury Photos

24 items · 24 photograph · 17 with detail pages

This group assembles photographs and proceeding references concerning O.J. Simpson’s hands and body before and after June 12, 1994. June 13 images depict a left-middle-finger laceration and other reported marks, while Dr. Robert Huizenga’s June 15–17 examination set records the hands, wrist, fingers, and body; witnesses disputed or qualified the visibility and characterization of particular injuries. Event photographs from June 8, 11, and 12, right-hand images showing no visible cuts or abrasions, and annotated or enlarged views were used for comparison. Attorneys and experts offered attributed interpretations ranging from fingernail gouges to injuries associated with broken glass, alongside defense presentations concerning an asserted absence of scratches.

Referenced photographs of Simpson's left-hand cuts
📷 Photograph

Hand-injury photographs referenced in separate proceedings: a photograph of Simpson's left fourth finger shown to Leroy Taft and a close-up photograph showing multiple cuts used during Christopher Darden's rebuttal argument. Taft said his deposition answers concerned the photograph rather than direct observation, while Darden argued the depicted cuts were consistent with the murders rather than a Chicago glass accident.
