Filmmaker Urges New Tests on 9 O.J. Case Fingerprints as LAPD Says Probe Remains Open

Summary
Nine unidentified fingerprints from the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman should be reexamined with modern tools, filmmaker Ari Mark said as his Peacock docuseries revisits whether O.J. Simpson had help.
Mark and fingerprint specialist Gilbert Aguilar argue expanded databases and improved latent-print analysis could now identify prints that failed to match Simpson, the victims, 58 acquaintances or 1990s state and federal systems.
LAPD told Fox News Digital the case remains an open, ongoing investigation and detectives would pursue any new evidence, but it is unclear whether the nine prints have already been retested.
The push ties into the series' focus on Joey Ippolito, a Simpson associate whose brother claimed he returned home with bloody hands that night, though that account was later challenged and Nicole Brown Simpson's sister Tanya rejects an accomplice theory.
