Even if they found a video tape that clearly showed OJ murdering Ron and
Nicole,  I don't think that he could be retried on the same charges. They
would have to charge him with another crime, such as manslaughter. He
could possibly have federal charges brought against him - he did cross
state lines after the murders - for something like depriving Ron and
Nicole of their civil rights.

In any case, they would have to come up with some extremely convincing
evidence before it would justify bringing more criminal charges against
OJ. Doubtful, at best.
