The O.J. Simpson murder trial has become the classic miscarriage of justice, as the pampered NFL star walked free after being charged with the vicious slayings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. The jurors who passed the outrageous verdict were also ridiculed and condemned for ignoring the evidence! But there was a mountain of evidence and testimony unearthed by The National ENQUIRER that the jurors never even got to consider. These are the hidden secrets of the Simpson murder trial that might have influenced the outcome...

THE PRISON CONFESSION: The National ENQUIRER reported exclusively that a prison guard overheard O.J. sob "I did it" during a jailhouse meeting with football star turned minister Rosey Grier. Simpson's fellow actor and ex-NFL star took to the stand (pictured) to say the conversations were confidential. Judge Lance Ito refused to admit the guard's sworn affidavit — saying it would violate O.J.'s right to privacy!

THE KARDASHIAN COVERUP: Defense attorney Robert Kardashian was also one of Simpson's most trusted friends — and was spotted carrying one of the football star's garment bags away from O.J.'s estate shortly after Nicole Simpson's murder. What was in the bag? As The ENQUIRER reported, some speculated it contained bloody clothes worn by O.J. at the murder scene. When prosecutors attempted to call him as a witness, Kardashian hired a lawyer to fight against him taking the stand. The request was eventually dropped!

NICOLE'S FORGOTTEN BOYFRIEND: Keith Zlomsowitch dated Nicole in 1992 after she left O.J. — and said that he got a frightening look at the star's possessiveness and jealousy. He testified at the preliminary hearing that O.J. hid outside Nicole's condo and spied on him having sex with her — much like The ENQUIRER revealed Simpson had spied on NFL rival Marcus Allen having sex with Nicole! A furious O.J. confronted the two of them. The jury never heard Keith's story.

THE MAID WHO WAS SILENCED: Rosa Lopez was a maid next door to O.J.'s mansion who claimed to have seen the star's Ford Bronco parked at his house at the time of the murders. Her testimony was taped without the jury present, and she was attacked by the prosecution. The defense never played the tape for the jury — so the jurors could never judge the truth of Rosa's testimony for themselves!

THE BRONCO CHASE: After the famous Bronco chase on June 17, 1994, cops discovered nearly $8,000 in cash, O.J.'s passport and a disguise in the vehicle. Was it evidence of guilt, or merely the misguided reaction of an innocent man wrongfully accused? Either way, the jury never heard any discussions about the troubling find!

FAYE RESNICK'S TESTIMONY: Nicole's close friend went into drug rehab after living at Nicole's condo for a few days right before the murders. The defense theorized that Nicole was mistaken for Faye and killed by Colombian drug lords. They subpoenaed Resnick, but never put her on the stand — and the prosecutors never got a chance to attack the defense's claims. Faye is seen here giving her deposition at the Simpson civil trial, where a jury found O.J. responsible for the murders.

SIMPSON'S POLICE STATEMENT: The day after the murders, Simpson returned from Chicago to Los Angeles, where he voluntarily submitted to an interview with police. He denied committing the murders, and spoke of cutting his hand in his Bronco the night of the slayings. He added that he had been receiving strange threats. The jury never heard the tape of the bizarre interview.

THE LUMINOL TEST: Prosecutors were not allowed to reveal that they found evidence that blood had been washed off the Bronco. Authorities applied a luminol test to the vehicle — using a special chemical that detects traces of blood not visible to the naked eye. Judge Ito refused to allow the test as evidence because luminol can give false readings.

SYDNEY SIMPSON'S TESTIMONY: O.J.'s lawyers considered having the football great's little daughter testify — because she apparently heard her mother Nicole arguing with a friend the night of the murders. An infuriated Brown family vowed to do everything in their power to stop Sydney — seen caught by The ENQUIRER earlier this year — from testifying. This created another lost opportunity for the prosecution to put holes in the defense's conspiracy theories!
