Behind the headlines, inside the investigation.
When Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were brutally murdered in June 1994, the case quickly became one of the most publicized criminal trials in American history. In Evidence Dismissed, LAPD Detectives Tom Lange and Philip Vannatter—the lead investigators—tell their side of the story.
Free from courtroom restrictions and media spin, they describe the crime scene, the evidence trail, and the challenges of building a case against O.J. Simpson. With journalist Dan Moldea, they argue that the investigation was thorough and that critical evidence was overlooked or misrepresented during the trial.
Part memoir, part defense of police work, the book offers a controversial insider’s perspective on one of the most famous trials of the 20th century.
