The Murders of Nicole Brown Simpson & Ron Goldman

by: Betty Baley

A quiet night in CA ... two people slashed and stabbed to death at the front entrance to a beautiful condominium in the upscale neighborhood of Brentwood. A dog "wailing" as he was roaming the neighborhood with blood matted on his underside fur and blood on his paws ... barking for someone, anyone to help his slain mistress. Two small children laying in their beds asleep with no idea of the horrible murder scene at their front gate, and the neighborhood going about their normal business with no knowledge of the evil taking place in their quiet world that Sunday night.

This is the scene that eventually erupted into the "Trial of The Century" ... the trial of OJ Simpson for the murders of his ex-wife and her friend.

Did Simpson kill the mother of his two youngest children and her friend, Ron Goldman on the evening of June 12, 1994?

OJ was acquitted of the murders in criminal court, the state of CA was not able to prove that he was guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt".

Is he innocent though?

What made a difference to the civil jury? Was it the preponderance of reasonable doubt? Was it a racial verdict?

We would like to present the facts of the case and allow you to make up your own mind.

We will show you evidence, the crime scene, witnesses as well as experts testimony and conclusions regarding the facts of this infamous and officially unsolved double homicide case.

The Victims -- Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman

Was this a drug deal gone bad"?

Who would take such measures to kill these two seemingly innocent victims in such a violent manner?

The Crime Scene -- Bloody footprints and a trail of blood leading away from the bodies of the victims. Was the crime scene "tainted" or corrupted by investigators? Was OJ Simpson framed or simply careless?

The LAPD - An expose of the LAPD

Experts review and testify to the autopsy reports of the victims.

OJ's alibi -- Exactly what was OJ Simpson doing during the approximate time of the murders?

Slow speed chase on 405 -- What prompted OJ Simpson to make his famous "slow speed chase" in Al Cowlings Bronco days after the murders?

Evidence Dismissed -- What motivated the prosecution and defense to disregard so much possible evidence and witness accounts?

"If it doesn't fit, you must acquit" -- The famous words of Johnnie Cochran, but did the gloves actually fit?

A killer freed? -- Did the criminal jury asses all of the facts when arriving at their verdict?

What Americans had in common that day was that we stopped using the phone for a few minutes: according to AT&T, phone traffic dropped 60% from 10 a.m. to 10:05 a.m. P. T. In appliance stores and offices and diners, we dropped everything and watched as nine blacks, two whites and one Hispanic rendered their verdict: Orenthal James Simpson was not guilty of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Why does OJ Simpson need an "official spokesperson?" It's because he cannot be trusted with his own reputation and public persona, or what's left of it.

Letter from Nicole Brown Simpson

Christopher Darden and Johnnie Cochran Discuss the Trial

July 2, 2001 Simpson had to relearn how to be a parent after murder acquittal.

May 17, 2001, Simpson advised actor Robert Blake against taking a lie detector test and added, "As far as I'm concerned, this man is innocent until a jury comes back and calls him guilty."

A jury in OJ's Florida road rage trial found him not guilty of battery and auto burglary in the Dec. 4, 2000, incident.

June 7, 2000: OJ says he'll take a new lie detector test if somebody puts up $3 million.

Guardianship of Sydney Brooke Simpson & Justin Ryan Simpson

October 1999 Kato Kaelin won an undisclosed amount in his $15 million lawsuit against The Examiner tabloid over the headline: "Cops Think Kato Did It!" The tabloid argued in the case that "it" meant perjury -- not the killings. But a federal appeals court ruled the headline alone could be grounds for libel.

Triumph of Justice: Closing the Book On the Simpson Saga
by Daniel Petrocelli, Peter Knobler Daniel Petrocelli is the attorney who represented Fred Goldman and his family in their civil suit against OJ Simpson for the death of their son Ron (he also coordinated the simultaneous prosecution of suits brought by Ron's biological mother and the estate of Nicole). Petrocelli tells how he was able to succeed where Marcia Clark and Chris Darden failed. "He was handsome, mischievous, wholesome; he was "the Juice." If I permitted Simpson to endear himself to the jury on that witness stand, we would lose. If the jury believed Simpson when he looked them in the eyes and swore on his children that he did not commit these murders, the case would be over. No amount of blood, DNA, or physical evidence would overcome that one defining moment of this trial. I could not allow that to happen. I had read everything, learned everything, spoken to everyone who would speak to me, immersed myself in Simpson's life and was ready to take him on. I had worked obsessively for more than a year to prepare for this moment ... I had to take control of the examination from the beginning. I had to control a man who never once in his life let anyone control him."

The Spectacle: Media and the Making of the OJ Simpson Story

In the "Year of Simpson," the country was caught in the the biggest story ever. No other single news event in our history could match the scope and intensity of coverage given to the murder case.

Thaler presents the men and women who gave us the story of exploitation, media overkill, pandering, and profit making that fueled public cynicism about the way justice--and the media--work in this country.
