Lee Bailey, Robert Shapiro, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Kardashian, Gerald Uelmen, Carl E. Therefore, he hired a team of what seemed to be the best available attorneys at that time. Simpson wanted to get through the trial as quickly as possible and get acquitted. The media still had a substantial amount of coverage but the members of the jury were put out of the eye of the camera. The case was moved from Santa Monica to the Criminal Courts Building in Downtown Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Superior Court due to security concerns after preliminary hearings. Simpson very boldly pleaded not guilty on his second arraignment. On July 7, it was ruled that Simpson was to be brought to trial for murders due to the availability of sufficient evidence. They sold their stories to newspapers and were not presented in the court as witnesses afterward. Jill Shively and Jose Camacho testified in court with Jill saying that she saw Simpson’s car in the vicinity of the place of the incident and Jose identifying the fact that he sold a knife to Simpson which was quite similar to the one that was used in the murders. The media had excessive coverage regarding this case and it was suspected that the initial jury might lose its objectivity. The grand jury that was called initially to determine whether to indict Simpson for murders was dismissed on June 23 as there were qualms about the attainment of an unbiased result. On June 20, 1994, Simpson pleaded not guilty to both murders when he was arraigned. He was allowed to speak to his mother before his arrest. 8 hours later, the chase ended and Simpson agreed to surrender to the police. A low-speed chase ensued as Simpson threatened to commit suicide. He was, however, spotted later when one of his friends was being pursued. There were speculations that he might have committed suicide after a letter by him was presented by his friend, Robert Kardashian, who was also one of his defense lawyers. Simpson was not located immediately after the incident. The two were divorced 2 years prior to the murders. Simpson could be heard yelling in the background of that call. O.J Simpson immediately became the prime suspect of the crime due to some evidence that included a 911 call made by Nicole Brown on January 1, 1989, in which she informed the police that O.J Simpson would hurt her physically. On June 13, 1994, O.J Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman were found murdered outside Brown's Bundy Drive condo in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, California.
