Prax, it went beyond statements. In a case where all the blood evidence against Simpson could be measured in drops. (no pools of blood anywhere but a few drops in his room, and a few on the back gate that a cop happened to see in the dark)...the issue of being unable to account for all the blood that was taken from him is a huge problem.
Having issues with the chain of custody and the timeline immediately following the taking of the blood (the guy who transported it accounted for the unusually long time it took him to check it in by saying that he decided to take it to a place that was further away than the one that made the most sense).
There were just some things that were done that gave some credence to the defense's allegation that the evidence was suspect. I honestly feel like some of the cops wanted to make sure that he did not get away with murder and it may have backfired.
