"Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence" made its debut on Jan. 15, Sunday, with its premiere episodes "New Evidence" and "Follow the Blood." The new crime docuseries premiered with the examination of evidence that concludes with a theory that O.J. Simpson's son could be the real killer.
In the first two episodes of "Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence," law enforcement experts and a seasoned private investigator revealed their investigations on the deaths of O.J. Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman on June 12, 1994. Dallas-based private investigator William Dear believes that the real killer is O.J.'s son Jason Simpson and not the baseball star.
"I was genuinely surprised with the (Jason) theory," Rhode Island police Sgt. Derrick Levasseur told The Hollywood Reporter. "But I am going to approach everything objectively so I can find out the truth."
In the initil episodes of "Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence," Dear revealed that obtaining a storage locker may appear suspicious because Jason could have hidden the murder weapon there. He added that Jason was wearing a cap that resembles to a cap that was found at the crime scene.
Dear, Levasseur and LAPD forensic psychologist Kris Mohandie have been working on the highly controversial double murder case. The six-part series on Investigation Discovery presented new evidence photos and interviews with the Brown and Goldman families. O.J. was acquitted of the double homicide on Oct. 3, 1995.
"Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence" narrator Martin Sheen repeated many times during the show that the theories of the investigators are duly their own. He added that viewers are invited to have their own conclusions and the show is not influencing their opinions. The precaution came after Burke Ramsey filed a $750 million lawsuit against CBS for presenting a docuseries that pointed out that he killed his sister JonBenet.
The general manager of Investigation Discovery Kevin Bennett revealed that they have been very careful in presenting docuseries on the television. He pointed that they used Dear's "O.J. Is Innocent and I Can Prove It" book as a starting point for the series, but they are looking into multiple angles.
Meanwhile, the next episodes of "Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence" will present a new witness that could prove that O.J. is innocent of the crime as revealed in the new video of the docuseries, PEOPLE reported. The witness named Michael Martin claimed that he saw two African American males inside a Ford Bronco that was later seen parked behind the home of Brown.
The next episodes will show Martin, undergoing a lie detector test. The series continues on Jan. 16, Monday with the episodes "Person of Interest" and "About the Alibi." Watch the trailer of the upcoming episodes below:
