Was the OJ Simpson trial a federal case?

please answer ASAP cuz i need it for homework!Was the OJ Simpson trial a federal case?
Neither the murder trial in California or the burglary trial in Nevada were Federal Court cases. Was the OJ Simpson trial a federal case?
If you are talking about the Las Vegas trial.





No. It was a District Court case. Judge Jackie Glass is a District Court Judge, not Federal.





District Court in Nevada is the same as Superior Courts in some states. They are county courts
No. While murder is a crime that can be charged in Federal Courts, most murders are tried in local or state courts, not Federal Courts. OF was most definitely not tried in a Federal Court, as a previous answerer has explained. :)
What he did was a federal offense by murdering somebody so I would say yes.
If you are referring to his first trial, it was a capital offense
I pretty sure that's what my History teacher told me.
