Kim Kardashian Found Hidden O.J. Simpson Trial Evidence As A Teen?!

Kim Kardashian OJ Simpson Evidence Father Office

It’s starting to sound like Kim Kardashian West was born to be a lawyer — and got sidetracked by this whole sex tape/reality TV/beauty mogul/modern icon thing.
The KUWTK star revealed her new career path in her wide-ranging cover story in the latest issue of Vogue: last summer she decided to begin a four-year law apprenticeship.
She will take the Bar Exam in 2022 and officially become Kim Kardashian West, Attorney at Law.

Obviously all this came from Kim’s compassion for Alice Marie Johnson and others like her. The story of Alice, a 63-year-old great-grandmother who’d been in prison for 22 years on a nonviolent drug charge, moved Kim. She explained:

“Here’s a grandmother who took part in her first-time nonviolent offense and received the same sentence as Charles Manson. I just thought, This is so wrong and so bizarre, and how could that be? I sent it to my attorney and said, ‘What can we do? Does she need better lawyers?'”

She did not. What she needed was Kim.
Last year she was able to use her star power to convince President of the United States (and fellow reality TV star) Donald Trump to work on reforming clemency laws. She recalls:

“I made a decision to go to the White House when everyone was telling me, ‘Don’t go, your career will be over; you can’t step foot in there.’ And I was like, ‘It’s my reputation over someone’s life?’ Weigh that out. People talk s**t about me all day long. It will just be another story about me versus someone getting their life back.”

The fact it all worked out so well inspired Kim to keep going in her goal of prison reform — but she also felt out of her depth and decided she would be that much more effective if she knew the ins and outs of the legal system.
But all that didn’t bring Kim to the law — it brought her back to the law.
Kim’s father, Robert Kardashian, was also a lawyer. And to hear her sisters tell it, teen Kim was obsessed with the law and would watch true crime and court TV shows constantly.
It makes sense — her dad became one of the most famous lawyers in the country for his work on the O.J. Simpson trial.
As part of the so-called Dream Team of defense attorneys, which included legal legends Johnnie CochranRobert Shapiro, F. Lee Bailey, and Alan Dershowitz, the patriarch of the Kardashian family had access to the case which put the entire country’s infatuation with true crime into overdrive.
And 14-year-old Kim knew it.
She revealed to Vogue she even looked at some things she was NOT supposed to see!

“On the weekends they used our home as an office, with Johnnie Cochran and Bob Shapiro. My dad had a library, and when you pushed on this wall there was this whole hidden closet room, with all of his O.J. evidence books. On weekends I would always snoop and look through. I was really nosy about the forensics.”

Whoa!
Tons of people became lawyers because of watching the murder trial on TV. And she was looking at forensics reports in a secret room!
Frankly, we’re now kind of surprised Kim didn’t become a lawyer FIRST and find international superstardom later in life. Guess that’s SoCal livin’ for ya. LOLz!
