(NEWSER) OJ Simpson wasn't the killer: It was his son who murdered Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, says a private investigator. Texas PI William Dear has spent 18 years probing the murders, and he explains his case in a new bookand an interview with the Village Voice. Jason Simpson wasn't interviewed by police, nor was his DNA compared to evidence, even though he "had intermittent rage disorder" and was on probation when the slayings occurred. The "Jekyll and Hyde" figure had assaulted an ex-boss with a knife, says Dear, who went so far as to buy a storage unit Jason stopped paying for ... and the PI claims he found a hunting knife inside.
On the night of the murders, an angry Jason went to Brown's house after she bailed on plans to dine at the restaurant where he worked, Dear tells the paper. "She probably made a mistake you shouldn't make with people who are off their meds," as Dear says Jason was; she may have slapped him. In a rage, he killed her and an approaching Goldman. As for the blood in OJ's car, it was just a "fingernail"-sized amount, Dear says. OJ headed to the house to check on his kids when he heard from Jason. Realizing he could be a suspect, he panicked, prompting his suspicious behavior.

(49,761 posts)maybe OJ actually fulfilled his 'commitment' to find the 'real' killer but, nope, it still is just another lie by him.
What a crock of crap, imo, but crap sells.

My first reaction upon seeing on the 10 pm news about the murders and they showed oj at the airport heading somewhere and I told my wife that there's the guy who killed them, he acted so guilty. My gut instinct isn't wrong very often and this one sure wasn't on of those times. I had an inner ear injury the following August so I was laying in bed 24/7 because I couldn't stand up to walk, hell I couldn't even crawl on the floor, anyways I watched the whole trial and I swear I went into shock when the verdict came back not guilty. Yeah OJ simpson murdered his wife and friend in cold blood, colder than any murder I've heard of before or since. I won't normally wish ill on anyone but I have to take exception on this.

I watched that entire trial, and always said I thought it was his son. I believed OJ was in on the cover-up, but believed his son did it. Can't put my finger on an exact thing, it was mostly his behavior, body language, and some of his reactions.
I know, I know, I'm ok with that, this is probably the only time I need a I'm usually very rational.

(20,043 posts)I didn't know that. My husband saw this story and was like 'wow, you've said that all along'. I watched every minute of that trial. If I had things to do, I'd record it and watch it. I was fascinated by the whole thing.

(35,568 posts)Today was the first I heard of it, and the details.
The bit about his little sister drowning when he was a child and he was supposed to be watching her tore my heart out. So did the rest of his life. That's one lost and troubled soul.
Dear's discoveries filled in a lot of blanks.
I'm glad OJ was acquitted, now I want him out of jail. The LAPD conducted a terrible witch hunt and falsified too much evidence. It's something Black Americans are used to, hence why so many of us were so happy when the LAPD couldn't lynch another Black man.
Sanford, Chicago, Tampa, come on America, we're not stupid. Thankfully the Trayvon case is waking a lot of people up thanks to the internet.
zappaman
(20,605 posts)You do realize he is not in jail because of the LAPD, right?
He is in jail for a different crime committed in Las Vegas.
Anyhow, care to show us how the LAPD falsified evidence in the Brown/Goldman case?
Oh right, he's black and therefore must have been framed by the racist cops.
Catherina
(35,568 posts)and what you want it to say.
zappaman
(20,605 posts)and the LAPD is racist.
Pretty clear that.
DefenseLawyer
(11,101 posts)But then again , most people don't. If you did, you probably would make the ugly accusations you are making to our friend. Whether Simpson "did it" or not, the case was filled with major procedural gaffes and very serious questions about the collection and handling of the evidence. Even the prosecutors acknowledge that, whether you do or not.
Catherina
(35,568 posts)That's quite a presumptuous post.
How did I muddle through all these years without you to tell me what I think?
Sad.

(35,568 posts)More importantly, to me, how did you even know, or think, it could be Jason?
I know there were whispers in the community, very tight whispers, but I had no idea Jason was so troubled and was too young to understand at the time.
I'm just curious why you thought so.

Right before recommending your post, I was watching the BBC documentary about this
(there are at least 5 more parts, I'm on part 4 now)
I was one of those who whopped and hollered from joy when OJ was found not guilty. I've had enough of innocent people being framed by corrupt and racist police departments.
Recommended.

(11,101 posts)Does anyone here look differently on the fact that there was never any real explanation given as to why Det. Van Adder took the blood sample Simpson gave at the police station and put it in his car and drove back to the crime scene, instead of taking it to the crime lab in the same building, as was the normal procedure? I'm not wanting to re-litigate that case, but that's certainly a troubling fact that I think most people were willing to overlook at the time.
Catherina
(35,568 posts)and then that same vial was missing blood when he finally turned it in, and the blood they planted on OJ was proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to have come from that vial.
I think too many people were willing to overlook too much, or be misled about what to overlook.

(488 posts)perfectly normal reaction
wouldnt you, if your wife were murdered?
wouldnt you want to tell your side of the story, how YOU would have done it?
DefenseLawyer
(11,101 posts)I think some people would take the money for the book. I wouldn't say that alone, done after the fact, really proves or disproves anything.
bart95
(488 posts)they would not dishonor the memory of the person they were married to
and if they did, they would lose any question of their innocence
there's a reason NOBODY ELSE HAS EVER DONE THAT!!!
DefenseLawyer
(11,101 posts)would do it. Actually, most people would never have the opportunity. The reason "NOBODY ELSE HAS EVER DONE THAT!!!!!" probably has more to do with the fact that no one else has ever been in such a circumstance to have been offered money for such a book than it does with "honor".

(33,688 posts)investigator is no kook.
This case was never the slam-dunk it was portrayed as in the media. Henry Lee tore most of the prosecution's forensics to shreds at the trial and I was not surprised in the least when OJ was acquitted. The amount of blood found in the car was de minimus, which couldn't have been the case if the person who committed such a bloody and violent double murder was sitting in the vehicle. And Luminol would have showed any traces even if the interior was wiped down.
Catherina
(35,568 posts)then they could on'y *prove* a few drops and those few drops turned out to be planted blood from the vial Vannatter put in his pocket, that had the chemical they used for the analysis in it, and was missing blood when he turned it in.

(35,568 posts)It's pretty damning. A lot more damning than what the LAPD used
zappaman
(20,605 posts)Try answering these questions(taken from a saner post over at a different website)
1) Why did O.J. have 3 other cuts besides the one on his finger, plus 7 abrasions?
2) According to cell phone records, O.J. was in his Bronco at 10:03 p.m., not in his home.
3) Why did O.J. purchase a fake beard and mustache on May 27, 1994, two weeks before the murder?
4) What reason would Jason have for stalking Nicole before the murder if this was supposed to be a random snap moment after she didn't show up at his restaurant? Was he doing it for O.J.?
5) Cowling told his girlfriend, plus a prison security guard overheard O.J. telling Rosey Grier, "I didn't mean to do it."
6) As for Jason's mental state, there's plenty of evidence stating that O.J. would rage the same way. I think there's no doubt that O.J. and Jason suffered from the same mental disorder and both had violent tendencies and past records.
Catherina
(35,568 posts)After this thread and looking at your transparency page, I'm not interested in any further interaction and won't be seeing any further posts from you. That's just so not worth the time.
Your "Saner post at a different website" = http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread825931/pg2
LMAO!
Goodbye zappaman.
1) Why did I last Summer when I was pulling weeds, putting up my screenhouse, and cleaning the yard? I had small cuts all over my hands and arms.
2) Two part answer: A: GPS technology was putrid in 1994, he might have been at home. B: He's not allowed to be in his Bronco at 10:03 PM? He can't go to the deli or bowling, or a card game with his buddies?
I just realized why I'm replying too, the number 1 anti-conspiracy person on DU (since I don't see SDSaur-something on here anymore). It's pointless, you always believe the official version.

(397 posts)He has still been shown to be a megalomaniacal and violent individual who believes that he is personally above the law, and that public opinion shields him from culpability for his actions. The fact that he's now in jail serving time for armed extortion is plenty of proof.
And let me point something out here: I am NOT being racist, biased, etc etc etc. I do not like OJ Simpson because simply put he's power mad.
