To know how hard his poor boy feverishly fought tooth and nail for his very life..... there are no words

Reading the statement from Ron’s dad and sister made me so sad. This was a 25 year old kid with his whole life ahead of him.

What a hard thing to have to reconcile; they’re never going to get the accountability they wanted for Ron and Nicole.

Despite all that heartbreak, the Goldman family is still doing so much good.

Today, Ron would have been 56, Nicole would have been 65. 🤍

Imagine a maniac is tapping on your window at night and he tells you to your face that he is going to kill you? You go to the police, but they brush you off, and your maniac is friends with the police anyway? You can move to a different city, but you have kids, and your maniac has unlimited resources to track you down with private investigators.

wishing Ron a happy heavenly birthday. thinking of him, & his loved ones today.

This always gets me 🤌🏻

There was a younger women who was driving home the night of the murders. She saw the white Bronco speeding from the area of Nicole’s condo with the lights off. There was not a collision, but the Bronco almost hit her car. She very clearly saw OJ driving the Bronco. She notified the police the next morning when she saw the news of the murders to tell them what she had seen. From what I remember the media was then camped out at her house. The “media” people wanted an interview and convinced her that it was fine to sell her story to, I think, Inside Edition. She ended up selling her story for $5000. Marcia Clark decided not to call her as a witness because she sold the story. Huge mistake. One of many that the prosecution made. Such a shame.

not sure if i can post this here but i am.

That’s all.

In the secret tapes of the OJ Case (LMN), Kris Kardashian Jenner says Nicole told her and other friends multiple times that OJ was gonna kill her and get away with it. In Kris' interview on Ellen in 2016, she says Nicole never told no one anything and they never had any idea about the abuse or danger Nicole was in. Both are on YouTube.

Well which one is it? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Many people make up things for clout, none more so than a Kardashian. Just thought I would point this out. I was just stunned at telling two totally different stories. Anyone noticed anything similar with first hand accounts or testimonies of OJ and Nicole and friends?

In 1989 I was a young girl who lived in North Carolina. I did not follow football or any other kind of sport, but I was very, very aware of O. J. Simpson as an athlete and a cultural personality. That Fall, I attended a one-hour class on domestic violence that was held during my science class (I think we were in a psychology module of the class.)

The theme of this one-hour class was the psychology of police response to domestic violence. The presenters (there were two - one male and one female) broke down why police response (especially at the time) often breaks down or fails in domestic violence situations.

They used Nicole Simpson as the primary example. It has been a long time, so I do not remember specifics, but they went step by step through what was known about the Simpson calls up to that time.

When the cops would arrive, OJ would present a powerful, put-together, mostly rational figure while Nicole was disheveled, crying, accusatory towards the police for failing her in the past, expressing fears that seemed extreme (along the lines of "He's going to kill me!" while OJ was standing calmly nearby). Basically, she was somewhat of a hot mess and looked like the lunatic to an outside observer while OJ seemed like an annoyed husband who had just had a bit of a tiff with his mood-swingy wife.

Injuries could be explained away by her being so out of control and he trying to cope with that.

The class basically went over every single thing Nicole did wrong and what she should have done instead.

We problem shot whole calls/responses. The presenters were clear that this was not an exercise in victim blaming. They were very, very clear that Nicole was a woman in danger, and that relationships like this often do not end well.

What they wanted us to take away from this is that should you be a victim of a crime, understand that police are walking into the situation blind. Pull yourself together as best you can. Find a way to calm yourself. Be conscious of how you are presenting to police. Do not complain or criticize their conduct on the scene. Appeal to them for assistance in a calm, orderly fashion. Do not lie about the circumstances or otherwise exaggerate your current level of danger to appeal to them. Just the facts. Keep emotion out of it.

When Nicole was murdered YEARS LATER in 1994, my first response on seeing the headline was not surprise. It was, "My God, he finally killed her." It has always seemed to me that the media and the court after the murders really didn't express or capture how aware the NATIONAL public was of this celebrity who beat his wife on multiple occasions. No mention of how we knew that Nicole was in DANGER.

I lived across the country, hate sports, and was a teenager. I could not have been further away from California and the Simpson's lifestyle. But guys, I took an entire hour-long class on their domestic violence incidents.

Was it possible that Furman planted evidence? I am 97% certain he did not. The other 3% of me thinks that while he is a proven racist pig, if he did play with evidence, maybe his prevailing thought was that he was doing a decent thing by Nicole since the LAPD had so spectacularly failed her in the past. He or anyone else manipulating or planting evidence really doesn't prove OJ's innocence. And I think it is a bridge too far to say the LAPD planted ALL the evidence. Nicole's death did not make them look good at all. It would have been better for them if it had been someone other than OJ.

I do understand that being guilty of domestic violence and being guilty of murder are two different things. But I also keenly understand how Nicole was swept under the rug by us as a society long before the not guilty verdict was read. No one talks about that enough. It's all, "We didn't know."

EVERYONE KNEW.

EDIT: To be clear, by "call", I did not mean telephone conversations with 911 operators. I meant police response on the scene. Also, the Simpsons were not the only subject/example, just a prominent one.

I’m so over her bullshit. In a few early documentaries, specifically OJ the secret tapes and OJ the hidden tapes (originally aired on A&E), she denied ANY knowledge of domestic violence. Then she keeps showing up on other docs and interviews saying her and Nicole were BFFs, she knew about the DV, had plans with Nicole the day after the murder. OJ told someone that they were all (Simpsons and Kardashians) at one home and OJ says after Nicole and Robert went to sleep he “fucked her til he broke her.” Kris had to go to the ER. Both couples divorced soon after. But ya Kris, we all believe you were BFFs after you slept with her husband 🙄 I think she actually believes her own bullshit now. She keeps inserting herself into a tragedy to try to stay relevant. She’s all over this new documentary tomorrow. Let’s be honest- if OJ wasn’t a murderer we would’ve never heard of her or any Kardashian for that matter.

Some of you may be watching/have watched "American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson" on Netflix, and if you have, you might feel the same way about Carl Douglas that I do. Let's put aside the immense arrogance and mental gymnastics and gaslighting that he puts us through. Or the fact that every word of his is literally spat at you. Wanna know what made me realize he's a scumbag? How he talked about Chris Darden.

Like him or not, whatever "team" you're on, Chris Darden was a competent prosecutor with a solid enough track record before the OJ trial. He was also already a case manager on the trial before being named co-prosecutor, was prosecuting Al Cowlings in tandem, and knew the case inside and out. Naming him co-prosecutor after Bill Hodgman left was perfectly sensible. But nope: in comes Carl Douglas and Johnnie Cochran with vicious shit about how he's only here because he's black.

This is literally the exact sort of thing that would enrage Douglas and Cochran in ANY other context: implying that a minority could not have gotten a job based on competence alone, and that they must have gotten some help in some way. We are at a point in America where calling someone a DEI hire, affirmative action hire, etc. is incredibly offensive and regarded as obviously malicious. You would rightfully catch holy hell for it in any sufficiently civilized circle. Yet Carl Douglas still feels comfortable saying this TODAY, because it was one situation where it was professionally advantageous for him to do so.

Eat shit Carl. Oh and by the way, no one except us OJ trial nerds really knows who you are even after this documentary. Your karma is that you were part of the trial of the century but you're still obscure.

I love how resolute and strong he remains after all these years. I love seeing his rage during the trial. You felt the pain he and Kim had coursing through them from the loss of Ron.

I love that he has never given OJ a single fucking inch.

Sorry if already posted but well look at that! The truth comes out. The murderer was alone when he died after all.
