"Butch Casey" Was A Friend Of O.J. Simpson And A Club Owner When He Was Murdered Along With Sharon Anderson And Marie Rogers.

Casimir "Butch Casey" Sucharski

He was a friend of O.J. Simpson. He was a night club owner and that is how he became friends with O.J.

In 1994, he was 48-years-old when he was shot and killed in his Florida home. Two gunmen busted into his house while he was entertaining two other guests. The two guests were also killed. All three were shot execution style. The murders happened 11 days before Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman's double homicide.

The triple murder of Casimir and his guests was caught on surveillance video. 

Two gunmen wearing masks enter the home from a patio door leading into his dining room. One of the guests, Sharon Anderson, gets up from the table and walks toward a bedroom in the back. She’s chased by one of the gumen while the other approaches Casimir and strikes him in the face with both hands. That gunman then knocks Marie Rogers off her chair.

By the time the video ends, all three are dead. One of the gunmen removed his mask. That man was Pablo Ibar. The other gunman turned out to be Seth Penalver. They were both arrested and eventually convicted. They were both sentenced to death for the triple homicide. 

In an unusual twist, the Florida Supreme Court granted retrials to both men. Penalver was retried and acquitted in 2012. Ibar was retried and sentenced to life in prison in 2000.
