Simpson: John Simpson
built 194 days ago
Simpson's trial was a huge media event, lasting eight months and covered at length daily. Americans were introduced to a parade of colorful characters, including Lance Ito, the judge of questionable competence; Kato Kaelin, Simpson's lazy houseguest; and Johnnie Cochran, his slick defense lawyer. When prosecutors asked Simpson to try on the killer's gloves, he couldn't squeeze his hand inside, and it was Cochran who famously quipped, "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit". Curiously, in the course of their "investigation", detectives had obtained samples of Simpson's and the victims' blood. This is, to say the least, not proper police procedure. When asked on the witness stand whether he'd planted any evidence to frame Simpson, LAPD Detective Mark Fuhrman invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself. Simpson was acquitted, and vowed to devote his life to finding the real killers.

Lee Bailey, a nationally known criminal defense attorney, Alan M. Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor, Gerald F. Uelman, the dean of Stanford University Law School, and Barry Scheck and Peter J. Neufeld, New York attorneys skilled in handling DNA evidence. The group of prosecutors from the Los Angeles county attorney's office was led by Marcia R. Clark and Christopher A. Darden. Presiding at the trial was Superior Court Judge Lance A. Ito.

Simpson signed a new contract with Manchester United in August 2007 that would keep him at the club until 2010. He made his first competitive appearance for United on 26 September 2007 in the 2-0 Carling Cup loss to Coventry City, and soon after made his Premier League debut on 6 October 2007 against Wigan Athletic at Old Trafford, coming on as a 30th minute substitute for the injured John O'Shea. He set up the fourth goal with a well flighted cross for Wayne Rooney.[1] The match ended with a 4-0 win to United.[1] His European debut came on 23 October 2007, when he came on as a substitute against Dynamo Kiev. His first full European start was in the reverse fixture against Dynamo Kiev on 7 November 2007. United won the game 4-0.

A combination of both red tape and bungling have for eighty seven years, denied John Simpson due recognition. The Gallipoli Hero, who with his donkeys, brought in to the aid station on the beach at Gallipoli more than three hundred wounded men, has been depicted on Australia’s Stamps, Coins and Banknotes. There are five sculpture’s of Simpson in Australia, one by W Anderson “Man with the Donkey” near the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne, which was unveiled by Lord Huntingfield Sat 20 June 1936.
