Michael Jordan, aka "The Goat", is known for being the best player in the history of basketball, being as dominant on the offensive end of the court as he was on defense.
When Michael Jordan won his first NBA championship in 1991, his father's arms were draped around his son as Michael wept as he hugged the Larry O’Brien trophy.
In 1992, after winning his second championship, Jordan was called to testify in the criminal trial of James Bouler to explain why why Bouler, a convicted drug dealer, was in possession of a Jordan-signed personal check for $57,000. Under oath he admitted that it was a payment for on gambling losses for a single weekend.
In 1993, Michael’s gambling habits drew intense scrutiny and James Jordan defended his son and helped mollify Michael’s temporary media boycott.
On July 22nd, 1993, James Jordan had spent the day at the funeral of a former co-worker in Wilmington, N.C., later visiting with friends. Shortly after midnight, he was in his red Lexus SC400 and headed 3½ hours toward his home in Charlotte. James never made it. His body was identified on August 13th. He was found in Gum Swamp in South Carolina, his dead body draped over a tree limb.
It was later surmised by investigators that James, a little more than an hour into his drive from Wilmington to Charlotte, stopped to nap in his Lexus alongside a highway and was shot in the chest as he slept during a botched robbery. Largely due tocalls they’d made from James' car phone, Daniel Green and Larry Demery were later charged with his murder and sentenced to life in prison. It seems really cut and dry doesn't it? Well, after you scratch the surface, James' murder isn't quiet what it seems. For starters, the place were James decided to pull over and take a nap wasjust a few hundred yards away from a Quality Inn. There they that had rooms for less than $30 per night. Why didn't James stay at the motel? Next, why did his family waited until August 12th to officially report him missing? This was a full three weeks after he had last been seen and seven days after his Lexus had first been found by police. On the official autopsy report, pathologist Dr. Joel Sexton, concluded that James' death had come from a single .38-caliber gunshot wound to the right side of his chest. Also, the report showed there was no exit wound to James' body. There was also no blood definitively found inside the car. No gunshot residue was found either.
Despite this, in the prosecution’s version of events, relying almost entirely on Demery’s testimony, maintains that James' was shot through the heart at close range while sitting in the driver’s seat of his Lexus.
This brings use to the shirt James' was wearing. The autopsy states, “There is no hole in the shirt at that point. Directly below that location in the lower abdominal region are three holes that would line up with the hole in the chest if the shirt were pulled up approximately one foot.”
There was an unusual chain of custody with the shirt. Immediately after the autopsy, Sexton gave it to an agent in the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. That agent then passed the shirt on to an employee of a company that provided services for funeral homes. That employee turned James' shirt over to a superior who buried it in a bag outside the company’s warehouse due to it's stench. After the shirt was dug up and later transported to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations, the bullet hole in the chest was found.
Now let's talk about a particular phone call made from James' phone after he had been murdered and his car stolen. On July 23rd, 1993, at 10:36 a.m., there was the phone call made from the cellular phone inside James Jordan’s Lexus to a number in Pembroke, N.C. That number was registered to a man named Hubert Larry Deese.
Deese was a co-worker of Demery at Crestline Mobile Homes, a trailer manufacturing company less than a mile from the swamp where James' body was discovered.
Deese also was a drug trafficker who wound up being arrested in February 1994 and linked to a Colombian cocaine pipeline that had connections in New York and Lumberton, N.C. He later was sentenced to 10 years after pleading guilty to a single trafficking count.
Deese is the biological son of Hubert Stone, the Robeson County sheriff whose office oversaw the Jordan murder investigation. He was alsoa friend of Mark Locklear, one of the lead detectives on the case. There is no documentation that authorities ever formally questioned Deese.
Daniel Green alleges that at the time of the murder, Demery was working as a “mule” in a Lumberton drug network where Deese was near the top of the totem pole. Green insists it was Demery who called Deese on the first full morning after James' murder. He also insists that he never killed James', but instead helped dispose of the body and stole some valuables from James and his car.
Green tried to get his case retried and hisdefense motion contended, “that Demery, Deese or someone else involved in a drug transaction encountered Jordan in the parking lot and mistook him for someone connected with the drug deal, leading to the killing of Mr. Jordan by Demery, Deese, or someone meeting them there.”
In April 1995, 21 months after Jordan was shot and killed, Demery agreed to a plea deal, accepting his own murder conviction, hoping for leniency during sentencing and agreeing to testify against Green. Demery testified, that along with Green, they decided to commit a robbery near I-95 and U.S. 74 in the middle of the night near a Quality Inn. They hoped that there they would run into unsuspecting tourists. While preparing for their crime, they noticed James' red Lexus parked on a gravel strip just off U.S. 74. Demery then testified that Green wanted the Lexus, so they hatched a scheme to wake the driver, to hold him at gunpoint and tell him to drive to a bridge near Green’s home.
Once there, Demery said, he and Green planned to bind their victim with duct tape and leave him by the roadside as they stole his Lexus. According to Demery, the plan hit a snag when James' began to wake as Green pointed his gun through the open passenger-side window. Allegedly, without warning Green fired.
Green's attorney contended that ballistic tests never matched the bullet that killed James with the .38-caliber Smith & Wesson that Green possessed. His attorney also claims that Demery’s accounts of what happened, not just on the night in question but at the exact moment of the murder, changed significantly over time.
In the handwritten confession Demery signed at the time of his arrest, he stated he had left the intersection of I-95 and U.S. 74 before Green ever approached James' vehicle. Demery maintained he had driven back to Green’s house, then walked to a nearby bridge when Green drove up in the Lexus with James' dead body pushed into the passenger’s seat.
Nearly two years later, shortly after accepting his plea agreement, Demery offered a statement asserting he was running away from the Lexus and toward his own car and was about 60 feet from Jordan’s vehicle when Green fired the gun.
On the witness stand, it was a different story again when Demery testified that he was beside the Lexus when James was shot.
Jurors in Green's trial acknowledged that they did not find beyond a reasonable doubt that Green killed, attempted to kill or intended to kill James Jordan. That, Green’s lawyers assert, is proof the jury did not find Demery credible.
Connee Brayboy had spoken with Demery at the Robeson County Jail shortly after his 1993 arrest. She signed an affidavit stating that, “Mr. Demery stated to me that he was the person who had shot and killed Mr. James Jordan. … Larry Demery told me that he killed Mr. Jordan because he had witnessed a drug transaction. Larry Demery stated that the murder had taken place outside and not inside of Mr. Jordan’s Lexus, as he later claimed at Daniel Green’s 1996 trial.”
Judge Winston Gilchrist informed lawyers in March of this year, that he would deny Daniel Green's request for an evidentiary hearing that could have led to a new trial. Did James' death have anything to do with Michael's first so-called retirement? His father always wanted Michael to be a baseball player. Or could his first retirement have been due to a secret suspension due to his gambling?
Michael was spotted in an Atlantic City casino in the early hours on the morning of Game Two of the Eastern Conference Finals. After the Bulls won their third championship, the NBA launched an investigation into Micheal's gambling problems to check whether he had violated any league rules. Then, four months later Michael suddenly announced that he was retiring from professional basketball.
At the press conference when he was asked if he would ever return Michael said, " Five years down the road, if the urge comes back, if the Bulls will have me, if David Stern lets me back in the league, I may come back."
Only days after Michael's announcement, the league dropped its investigation, saying he did nothing wrong.
Was there a secret agreement between Michael and Stern where Michael would temporarily retire instead of a suspension? And why would Michael retire at the height of his game, especially when he was so competitive?
In the book Money Players Days and Nights Inside the New NBA, it states that Richard Equinas said that in March of 1992, he overheard a telephone conversation Michael was having with an unknown person. During the conversation, he heard Michael talking about a betting line. If Jordan was indeed betting on sports, he was breaking a sacred, unwritten rule for all professional athletes, as that is against the integrity of the game.
Michael came back less than two years later and won three more championships with the Bulls before retiring for a second time.
He was born on March 9th, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois. Bobby was brought up in Brooklyn by his mom, Regina, after she moved there following her divorce in 1945. His mom was under FBI surveillance starting in 1942 due to her leftist beliefs as well as her being of Russian and German origin.
Along with his sister Joan, Bobby learned to play chess at the age of 6 using the instructions from a set bought at a candy store. At the age of 13 he became the youngest national junior chess champion in the USA and at the age of 14 he became the youngest senior US Champion. In 1958, at the age of 15, he became the youngest Grandmaster in the history of chess.
Despite having a IQ of 181, in school Bobby was terrible student who routinely got Ds and was socially awkward. He was a loner with few friends at school and was essentially isolated. In 1960, he decided to drop out of Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, NY.
In 1972, Bobby became the first American to win the title of World Champion in chess by defeating Boris Spassky of the USSR in Reykjavik, Iceland.
After Becoming World Champion, Bobby became of recluse. He was stripped of the title after he refused to accede to chess officials' rules for an upcoming defense against challenger Anatoly Karpov, who was eventually awarded the title by forfeit. After this, Bobby turned down endorsements and became more publicly erratic. He was even arrested.
After 20 years, Bobby made a comeback into the chess world in 1992. A Yugoslavian business man and crony of Slobodan Milosevic put up a $5 million to sponsor a Spassky-Fischer rematch in what was left of Yugoslavia. Bobby easily defeated Spassky. He earned over $3 million and incurred the wrath of the US government. He was subsequently indicted, and a warrant was issued for his arrest in the US. Yugoslavia was heavily sanctioned by the United States and the United Nations as a result of genocidal violence related to the breakup of the country. Bobby publicly spat on the the US Treasury letter warning him of the consequences of participating in the match.
It has been alleged that Bobby kept boxes of Nazi propaganda, and on 9/11 he took this to the airwaves, via a public broadcast in the Philippines: "I say death to President Bush! I say death to the United States! Fuck the Jews! The Jews are a criminal people. They mutilate their children. They're murderous, criminal, thieving, lying bastards. They made up the Holocaust. There's not a word of truth to it... This is a wonderful day. Fuck the United States. Cry, you crybabies! Whine, you bastards! Now, your time is coming."
The US then canceled Bobby's passport after he traveled to Japan. When he attempted to leave, he was detained by Japanese officials at the request of the US government. The Icelandic parliament granted citizenship to Bobby to extricate him from a Japanese prison.
Bobby died in Iceland of kidney failure in 2008 at age 64.
Dr. Phil says that he wants to interview O.J. Simpson to interrogate him about the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
Dr. Phil has new podcast “Phil in the Blanks,” where he has conversations with people he admires and finds interesting. He's previously spoken to stars like Dolly Parton, Shaquille O'Neal and Jay Leno.
"There are people I want to talk to before they die,”
"I wanna talk to O.J. before he dies. I wanna know. I’ve worked very closely with the Goldman family. I respect them so much. I respect them so greatly. I wanna talk to him because he can’t lie to me.”
The Goldman family won against Simpson in civil court, forcing the former football star to pay more than $33 million to them over his wrongful death.
Dr. Phil believes that if he could sit across from O.J. Simpson, he’ll succeed where a Los Angeles court and countless interviews have failed by proving his guilt or innocence.
"If he’s telling the truth, then going through the interrogation that I would give him, it would be obvious to everyone in America, to everyone in the world that he is innocent,”
"And if he’s not, it would be obvious to everyone in the world that he’s not, and he should unburden before he goes to his grave.”
On January 6th, 1994, after a practice session at Cobo Hall in Detroit and just one day before the Olympics, Ice skater Nancy Kerrigan is attacked by Tonya Harding's bodyguard. Tonya has long denied she knew about a plan to injure Nancy at the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
Last year Tonya came clean in Truth and Lies: The Tonya Harding Story that aired on ABC. She still denied having any involved in the assault against Nancy. Tonya did say however, that she overheard her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and his friend, Shawn Eckard talking about "taking somebody out" to ensure that Tonya would make the 1994 U.S. Olympic team.
"It popped in my head two or three days after we got back that Gillooly and Eckardt were involved,"
On last years finale episode of HBO's "Who Is America?" Sacha Baron Cohen, heavily disguised as a fictional Italian playboy named "Gio", met with O.J. in a Las Vegas Hotel room with hidden cameras rolling. Sacha tried to get O.J. to admit that he killed his deceased wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.
Lyle Menendez along with his brother Erik, was imprisoned for the shotgun murder of their parents in 1994. By the time O.J. arrived on the cell block in June of 1994, the Menendezes were already veterans of the California penal system.Allegedly Lyle took O.J. under his wing, and the two of them quickly developed a close friendship and he confessed to killing his wife in one of his first conversations with Lyle. Lyle and O.J. were both waiting for their lawyers in the prison's "attorney room," O.J. admitted to killing Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman after he “snapped in the heat of passion.”
The Buffalo Bills lost four Super Bowls in a row in the early 1990s,
Among their most heartbroken fans was Timothy McVeigh.
He was a New York native who killed 168 people and injured over 680 more in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. It was their third consecutive Super Bowl loss and it was by far the worst of them all.
McVeigh left New York state, his only real home, a few days later. He would live adrift in a nomadic life of gun shows and spiraling extremism. McVeigh was a Bills super fan.
He was working for little pay as an overnight security guard at the Buffalo Zoo when he bet $1,000 on the Bills winning the Super Bowl in 1993. Quarterback Jim Kelly re injured his knee and the Cowboys scored four touchdowns, including two just 15 seconds apart, all before halftime. The Waco siege happened a few weeks later.
This led to the deaths of 86 people, mostly children when the Branch Davidians cult refused to surrender to the FBI.
McVeigh saw this and started plotting revenge against the U.S. government. Two years after Waco, McVeigh targeted the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, with a truck bomb.
It was the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil until September 11, 2001, and remains the worst domestic terrorist attack in American history. McVeigh was executed in 2001 for carrying out the attack. McVeigh had a history of being bullied, a broken family.
He stayed in Buffalo with his dad when his mother moved to Florida with his sisters when he was an adolescent.
He spent his free time nursing conspiracy theories about the U.S. government and writing ominous letters to the editor of his local paper. He reportedly suffered a nervous breakdown and contemplated suicide.
He was an American stock car racing driver and the nephew of NASCAR's Dick Trickle.
He was born May 30, 1973, to Chuck and Barbra Trickle.
Trickle was father of twins, Joelyn Hope and Cole Trickle Miele.
He began driving motorcycles when he was 8 years old and had two track championships by the time he was 15.
Trickle gained national attention while appearing on the NASCAR Winter Heat series on TNN and ESPN2.
He was scheduled to join the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 1997.
February 9, 1997, Trickle left his home in Las Vegas around 9 p.m. to play tennis with a friend at a lighted court. As he was driving over the freeway, a car drove alongside and fired shots into his car hitting him in right between the eyes.
His car spun off the road and hit a sign.
When Chris was pulled from the car, he was barely alive.
He had no known enemies.
They couldn't take the bullet out at the time for testing, it would have killed him instantly.
Chris survived in a semi-comatose state for 409 days, occasionally looking like he would soon awaken and then relapsing.
March 25,1999, he died from complications to his wounds at age 25.
He played ten seasons in the National Hockey League for the Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins. His dad once took over a T.V. station at gunpoint, when his son's television debut was preempted and was killed. After hockey, Spencer, in 1987, was charged with kidnapping and murder and faced the death penalty.
Family and friends, gathered around him and tried to help.
A former teammate from the Sabres, Rick Martin, testified as a character witness at his trial.
The jury returned a not guilty verdict in March 1988 and Spencer vowed to change his life.
He moved to Florida, where his life continued to spiral out of control.
Three months later, Spencer he was fatally shot.
His companion at the time of the incident, Gregory Scott Cook, told police it was a robbery following a crack cocaine purchase in Riviera Beach, Florida.
Police Capt. Jerry Poreba said there were questions about Cook's account, however he was not a suspect.
No one knows who killed him.
His death remains unsolved.
Spencer was survived by five children from two marriages, and his twin brother, Byron.
Nicole was bubbly, always happy and smiling. She always put other people in front of herself. She cared so much about her kids, Sydney and Justin, and her family. She was such a warm woman. Nicole grew up on the beach and loved to surf. She was also a fantastic photographer.
She was born on May 19th, 1959, in Frankfurt, West Germany, to Juditha Anne Brown and Louis Hezekiel Brown.
She was the wife of retired professional football player and actor O. J. Simpson and the mother of their two children. On June 13th, 1994, she was found murdered at her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California, along with her friend, restaurant waiter Ron Goldman.
Ron was always a good kid with a good heart. He was fun, he had a good sense of humor, always laughing. He had a zest for life. Ron aspired to open his own restaurant one day and have a family of his own. He liked to surf and enjoyed playing beach volleyball, rollerblading, and nightclubbing.
Ron Lyle Goldman was born on July 2nd, 1968, in Buffalo Grove, Illinois to Fred Goldman and Sharon Rufo.
O.J. was charged with both murders, but after a controversial trial, was found not guilty in 1995. However, he was found liable for both deaths in a civil suit in 1997 and ordered to pay $33.5 million in punitive damages to the Brown and Goldman families.
Nicole's father, Lou was serving in the Air Force when he had met Juditha.
When Nicole and her older sister, Denise Brown, were toddlers the family of four moved back to the United States and settled in the Orange County city of Garden Grove, California. Lou and Juditha had two more daughters, Dominique and Tanya.
When the older girls were in high school, the family moved to Monarch Beach in the coastal city of Dana Point. Nicole was crowned homecoming princess in 1976 at Dana Hills High School. In 1977, Nicole was 18 years old and living with her friend, David LeBon. She was working as a hostess at a Beverly Hills private club called "The Daisy" when she met O.J.She had just graduated high school three weeks earlier. She had didn't really have an idea who O.J. was and had to ask around to find out. O.J. kept coming back to the restaurant and finally won Nicole over. The two began dating, even though O.J. was still married to his first wife, who was pregnant with their third child. On their first date together, O.J. picked Nicole up in his black Rollsroyce that had the work"Juice" on it. When she arrived home at 2 a.m. David noticed that Nicole's pants had been ripped. When he asked Nicole what happened she told him that O.J. got a little rough on their date. David was angry and wanted to talk to O.J. Nicole told him no and that she liked O.J. Nicole wanted to go on to bigger and better things so she enrolled at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo. Then a few months later she moved in with O.J. and dropped out of school, because O.J. "required that she be with him." O.J. and Marguerite divorced in 1979. Their 23-month-old daughter Aaren drowned in the swimming pool at Rockingham, where Marguerite at first remained while O.J. rented a house with Nicole in Beverly Hills. The child spent eight days on life support at UCLA Medical Center before she died on August 26th.
She married O.J. on February 2, 1985 at the Rockingham mansion. The marriage lasted seven years. During the marriage they had two kids together, Sidney and Justin. O.J. and Nicole's relationship was very passionate and very volatile. Even before they got married, O.J. was very possessive of Nicole. Nicole was never free to be herself or have friends. On top of that, O.J. was frequently cheating on her. O.J. had a very bad temper and he was very violent towards Nicole. Nicole had called the cops on O.J. in the fall/winter of 1985. When the police arrived, she was crying and her Mercedes-Benz had a smashed in windshield. Nicole had told the police that O.J. had smashed it with a bat. In 1987, O.J. and Nicole were having dinner with Nicole's sister, Denise, when O.J. grabbed Nicole's crotch and said, "This is where babies come from and this belongs to me."
In another incident between O.J. and Nicole, O.J. ran upstairs of their home and grabbed some of Nicole's clothes. He ran back down the stairs and grabbed Nicole, told her to get out of his house and then picked her up and threw her against the wall. He grabbed her again and then threw her out of the house.
Nicole would always stay at her parents' house after big fights and O.J. would always call and beg her to come home, which she always did.
Nicole grew close to O.J.'s friend's wife, Kris Jenner. In 1988, on a trip to New York, Nicole confided in her about the problems she was having with O.J. Nicole told Kris about how O.J, was cheating and how he would get physically rough during fights. She told Kris that she wanted to leave O.J., but she didn't know how. She also told Kris that she was having a hard time getting along with her stepson, Jason, who was 19 at the time. Kris claimed that soon Nicole started to become more withdrawn and private and seemed anxious. She was biting her fingernails down to the quick and just seemed to be on edge all the time.
O.J. pleaded no contest to spousal abuse in 1989 stemming from an incident that took place on January 1st of that year. At 3:58 a.m., Nicole had called 911. At first the operator could only hear screams and what sounded like someone being hit. When officers arrived at Rockingham, Nicole, wearing sweatpants and a bra, emerged from the bushes and yelled, "He's going to kill me!" After being asked who was going to kill her, she answered, "O.J." She had a black left eye, a cut lip and a bruised forehead, and there was a hand print on her neck. When officers questioned O.J. he denied hitting Nicole and claimed that he had just pushed her out of bed and that they had a drunken fight after a New Year's Eve party. The officers then told O.J. that he had to go with them to the police station. O.J. didn't go with them however and drove off in his Bentley. Nicole told one of the officers, "You guys never do anything. You never do anything. You come out. You've been here eight times. And you never do anything to him." It was true, police had now been called 9 times over domestic violence to their home.
Nicole documented her abuse with photos and a diary. She stated that if she was ever found dead, that O.J. killed her. The day after O.J. attacked Nicole, she went to the police station and told them she didn't really want to press charges. However, Nicole had already signed the police report and so the police were obligated to kick it upward to the L.A. City Attorney's Office, which filed domestic violence charges against O.J. In 1990, around Christmas, Nicole bought two pairs of brown, extra-large "Aris Lights" leather gloves.
Citing irreconcilable differences, Nicole filed for divorce on February 25th, 1992. When Nicole and O.J. separated, she moved with the kids nearby to a $5,000-a-month rental home on Gretna Green Way in Brentwood, where she later rented the guest house to friend Kato Kaelin for $500 a month. Sometimes the aspiring actor would babysit Sydney and Justin. During a court-ordered meeting with a career counselor, Nicole had said that the only goal she had was to raise her kids well. "Beyond that I haven't thought about me," she said. "I'm sure I will get a goal someday."
O.J. and Nicole settled their divorce in October with O.J. agreeing to pay Nicole a lump sum of $433,750, plus $10,000 a month in child support. Nicole also retained the deed on a rental property in San Francisco.
It seemed that Nicole started enjoying life again. She relished being a full-time mom, driving the kids to school and karate and dance lessons. She reconnected with her girlfriends and enjoyed both fancy nights out and hosting potluck dinners at home. She went on trips, skiing in Aspen and sunning in Cabo San Lucas. Nicole also started jogging regularly and would get sitters so she could go clubbing at night after her son and daughter went to sleep.
Nicole started to go to therapy.
After a while, Nicole started to miss O.J. and told a friend that she wanted him back. Nicole called O.J. but when he wouldn't take her call, she went to his house. He dismissed her, said he was fine without her. By the time she got him, he was calling to say yes, he too wanted to get back together.
On October 25th, 1993, a terrified Nicole once again called 911. She told the dispatcher, "Could you get someone over here now to 325 Gretna Green? He's back. Please... He's O.J. Simpson. I think you know his record. Could you just send somebody over here? He's f--king going nuts."
Nicole was told to stay on the line. Nicole replied that she didn't want to stay on the line because, "He's going to beat the s--t out of me."
The call was 13 1/2 minutes long. Through most of it, O.J. could be heard vaguely in the background. However, at one point, when Nicole told him the kids were sleeping. O.J. could be heard clearly saying, "You didn't give a s--t about the kids when you was sucking his d--k in the living room. They were here. Didn't care about the kids then."
The incident O.J. was referring to happened the year before. O.J. would frequently spy on and stalk Nicole as witnessed by her neighbors.
Despite the latest act of violence that O.J. showed against Nicole, she was on the sidelines with O.J. when he reported from the Dolphins-Cowboys game on Thanksgiving in 1993. They also spent that Christmas together. At the same time, Nicole allegedly told Kris several times that O.J. was planning to kill her and he was going to get away with it.
Also in 1993, Nicole sold the San Francisco property and, in order to avoid paying taxes on the sale income, quickly purchased a condo at 875 S. Bundy Dr. She moved there in January 1994.
She was going to rent a room to Kato, but O.J. told him he could live in his guest house rent-free because it wasn't appropriate for him to live inside Nicole's house while they were supposedly in the process of working out their relationship.
In March 1994, O.J., Nicole, Sydney, Justin and his older kids, Arnelle and Jason, all went to the L.A. premiere of Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult. Also that month, Nicole and O.J. and their kids went to Mexico for Easter with Kris, then-husband Bruce Jennerand kids Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Kardashian.
On May 19,1994, Nicole's 34th birthday, O.J. gave her a bracelet studded with diamonds, rubies and sapphires. She gave it back a week later. She wanted to be free of him and to live her life with the children and raise them away from O.J.
Ron met Nicole weeks before they were killed, when he borrowed her Ferrari. They grew increasingly close. According to police and friends, their relationship was platonic. Ron's parents divorced in 1974 when he was six. After spending a brief time in the custody of his mother he was raised by his father and lived with him and his younger sister, Kim.
He grew up Jewish. Ron had worked as a camp counselor and had volunteered to help disabled children. He attended the Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois. He was a student at Illinois State University for one semester. He planned to major in psychology and a pledge to Sigma Nu fraternity, but then he decided to moved with his dad, sister, stepmom and her three children to Southern California. Ron then took some classes at Pierce College. He lived independently from his family and supported himself by working as an employment headhunter and tennis instructor. He then worked a string of waiter jobs. He also occasionally worked as a model for Barry Zeldes, owner of Z90049 in Brentwood Gardens.
Ron wanted to act. He appeared as a contestant on the short-lived game show Studs in 1992. He had dated Jacqui Bell for nearly two years before she broke off their relationship three months before his death.
Not long before his death, Ron had earned an Emergency Medical Technician's license but decided not to pursue that career. He decided he wanted to open a bar or restaurant in the Brentwood area. He his future restaurant to characterized by the ankh, an Egyptian religious symbol of life that matched the tattoo on his shoulder. He wanted to learn all facets of the restaurant-bar business, and occasionally worked as a promoter at a Century City dance club called Tripps. For Memorial Day, he participated with a group of event promoters in organizing a party at Renaissance, a club and restaurant on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica.
Also on Memorial day, Nicole had an angry encounter over the phone with O.J., which she wrote about in her diary on June 3rd. Nicole wrote, quoting O.J., "'You hang up on me last nite, you're gonna pay for this bitch, you're holding money from the IRS, you're going to jail you f--king c--t. You think you can do any f--king thing you want, you've got it coming [sic]--I've already talked to my lawyers about this bitch--they'll get you for tax evasion, bitch, I'll see to it. You're not going to have a dime left bitch' etc."
Nicole had the place were she was staying as a rental property on her tax forms and she was using the Rockingham address as her permanent home. This didn't set well with O.J. And on June 6th, he sent sent her a formal letter instructing her to stop using the Rockingham address.
On June 7th, Nicole called a Santa Monica women's shelter for victims of domestic abuse and said she was being stalked by her ex-husband.
A friend of Nicole's, Faye Resnick, stayed with Nicole from June 3rd until June 8th. Faye allegedly had a cocaine problem and checked herself into rehab. On June 9th, Nicole's friend and real estate agent Jeane McKenna put the condo up for lease at $4,800 a month and then they went looking for new places for Nicole to live. By the end of the day, they found a one-story home with a pool and a view of the ocean, in Malibu for $5,000 a month.
O.J. had been dating model Paula Barbieri. On Sunday, June 12th, 1994, Nicole got up early and went for her morning run. She then made the kids breakfast and then took them shopping. She also stopped by a florist to get flowers to brighten up the house along with a bouquet of yellow roses for Sydney for after her dance recital later that evening. Later, Nicole went with Lou and Juditha, Denise and some other family members to Sydney's recital. Afterward they went to dinner at Mezzaluna, an Italian restaurant in Brentwood. O.J. had been at the recital but was not invited to go to dinner. Meanwhile, Ron played in his usual weekend softball game and then went to work. Shortly after 9 p.m., O.J. called Nicole. Then Faye called from rehab. The call lasted 15 minutes. Nicole said that she just wanted everyone to have a happy and healthy life and that Faye had her support. At 9:40 p.m., Juditha called her daughter to say she'd left her glasses at the restaurant. Nicole called Ron at the Mezzaluna, where Ron worked as a waiter, and asked him if could drop off the sunglasses at her house. Ron agreed and said that he would drop them off after work on his way to meet some friends in nearby Marian Del Ray. Ron punched out at 9:33 p.m. and stayed to have bottled water at the bar. He left the restaurant at 9:50 p.m. Before returning the sunglasses, he stopped by his Brentwood apartment at 11663 Gorham Avenue and spoke briefly to his roommate, Mezzaluna's bartender Stewart Tanner. At 10:15 p.m., a neighbor who lived diagonally across the alley behind Nicole's place heard a dog start barking.
At 10:55 p.m., Steven Schwab, another neighbor out walking his own dog, came across a big white Akita barking in the alley. Schwab didn't know the dog, but saw it had an expensive collar, as well as blood on its paws. The Akita followed Schwab home, and he and his wife gave the dog some water outside their place.
Another neighbor, Sukru Boztepe, returned to the complex at 11:40 p.m. and volunteered to keep the dog overnight. But the dog, Kato, was too restless, so Boztepe and his wife, Bettina, went out for another walk. It was now in the early the morning of June 13th, 1994, and the dog led them back to the front of 875 Bundy. That's when Boztepe looked past the front gate and saw a woman lying in a pool of blood. That woman turned out to be Nicole.
Nicole and Ron were found stabbed to death at her town home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California.
An autopsy revealed that Nicole had been stabbed in the neck and head seven times. She also had a long gash across throat, which severed both her left and right carotid arteries and breached her right and left jugular veins. She was nearly decapitated. She also had defensive wounds on her hands.
Ron also had his throat slit, severing the left jugular vein. He was stabbed multiple times to the scalp, face, neck and chest. He also had stab wounds on his left hand and abrasions upper extremities and hands. In all Ron had been stabbed 22 times. Police believed he had arrived during or shortly after Nicole's death. Ron's family believed that Ron died trying to save Nicole from her attacker and that he was the man whom eyewitnesses heard shouting that night. While their mother and Ron were murdered, 8-year-old Sydney and 5- year-old Justin had been asleep upstairs. A bath had also been drawn and there was a partially eaten bowl of ice cream left behind. When the children were ushered out of the house through a back door by police that morning, they had no idea what had happened. Sydney called the house phone from the police station, leaving a message asking her mom. "Mommy, please call me back. I want to know what happened last night...Please answer, Mommy!" One of the officers found a single bloody glove, a knitted hat and a bloody footprint.
Detectives went to Brentwood estate to O.J.'s estate, to inform him that his ex-wife had been murdered. One of the detectives hopped over the gate and unlocked it for the other detectives. The detectives argued that they entered without a search warrant because of exigent circumstances. O.J. was not present when the detectives arrived early that morning.
Brian "Kato" Kaelin, who was staying in Simpson's guest house, was briefly interviewed.
A walk around of the property, discovered a second bloody glove; it was later determined to be the match of the glove found at the murder scene. The blood on this glove was determined to have come from both victims. The hat had O.J.'s hair in it. And the foot print was from a shoe, like the one he wore. Also was the same size. Nicole's blood was found on one of O.J.'s socks. Her blood was also found in his driveway. O.J. also had purchased a knife, the same kind that the corner believed to have left the marks on Nicole and Ron. The knife and shoe were never found.Nicole's funeral was June 16th.
With the evidence collected at both scenes, was determined to be probable cause to issue an arrest warrant for O.J. Lawyers convinced the LAPD to allow O.J. to turn himself in at 11 a.m. on June 17, 1994. At 2 p.m., the LAPD issued an all-points bulletin, because O.J. still hadn't arrived at the police station.
At 5 p.m, a letter was read to the media.
Robert Kardashian, a friend of Simpson's and one of his defense lawyers, read a letter.
"First everyone understand I had nothing to do with Nicole's murder ... Don't feel sorry for me. I've had a great life."
Some people think this was a suicide note.
At around 6:20 p.m., O.J. was spotted riding in a white Ford Bronco that was being driven by his longtime friend Al "A.C." Cowlings. At 6:45 p.m., police officer Ruth Dixon saw the Bronco head north on Interstate 405. Cowlings yelled out that Simpson was in the back seat of the vehicle and had a gun to his own head. The officer backed off, but followed the vehicle.
Former USC football coach John McKay went on the air and encourage Simpson to end the pursuit.
"My God, we love you, Juice. Just pull over and I'll come out and stand by you all the rest of my life", he promised.
LAPD detective Tom Lange, had Simpson's cell phone number and called him repeatedly. Lange repeatedly pleaded with Simpson to "throw the gun out the window" for the sake of his mother and children. Simpson apologized for not turning himself in earlier. He said that he was"the only one who deserved to get hurt" and was "just gonna go with Nicole." The chase ended at 8:00 p.m. at his Brentwood estate. Simpson was allowed to go inside for about an hour.
Police found $8,000 in cash, a change of clothing, a loaded .357 Magnum, a passport, family pictures, and a fake goatee and mustache in the bronco. The contents of the bronco and the police chase footage, were not shown in court, along with a surprising amount of evidence. On July 8, 1994 , at his preliminary hearing, judge ruled that there is enough evidence to proceed with trial.
On September 26, 1994 the process of selecting a jury begins. On November 3, 1994, the jury selection is completed. On January 11, 1995, the jury was sequestered.
On January 23, 1995, the trial began with opening statements.
On February 12, 1995, jurors are taken on a tour of the crime scene under heavy police presence.
On September 29, 1995 the closing arguments begin.
October 3, 1995 - Less than four hours of deliberation, he unanimous, not guilty verdict was watched by more than 100 million people as it was seen live during a television broadcast.
Simpson was released from jail after spending sixteen months awaiting a verdict.
A civil suit was filed against Simpson and he was ordered to pay $33.5 million to the families of Brown and Goldman. Which he has had yet to pay.
He wrote a book titled "If i did it."
Besides O.J., there was other suspects in their deaths.
His son, Jason Simpson. He was on probation after having attacked his boss with a knife. He attacked a former girl friend with a knife as well. Another girlfriend claimed he almost broke her back with getting angry and throwing her in a bathtub. He also cut her hair off with a knife.
Jason supposedly was diagnosed with intermittent rage disorder. Around the time of the murders, Jason was off his anti psychotic drugs.
He had a hat similar to the one found as evidence in the crime.
Serial killer Glen Rogers came forward after O.J. being found innocent.
The first rumor came In the documentary My Brother the Serial Killer when Rogers’ brother Clay said, “I’m absolutely certain that my brother Glen killed Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. I know my brother did it because I’ve seen proof that he was there.” Rogers claimed he was hired by Nicole to paint her house. He then claimed he was hired by O.J. to do the crime.
Prosecutors wanted to go forward with their case against O.J. Simpson since they had more evidence. O.J. Simpson’s former manager, Norman Pardo claims that O.J. murdered Nicole and Ron, but didn't act alone.
Lyle Menendez along with his brother Erik, was imprisoned for the shotgun murder of their parents in 1994. By the time O.J. arrived on the cell block in June of 1994, the Menendezes were already veterans of the California penal system. Allegedly Lyle took O.J. under his wing, and the two of them quickly developed a close friendship. While Lyle and O.J. were both waiting for their lawyers in the prison's "attorney room," O.J. admitted to killing Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman after he “snapped in the heat of passion.” Lyle advised O.J. he should consider taking a plea deal. O.J. told Menendez he couldn’t do that because it would ruin his reputation and he would never work again. RadarOnline.com supposedly uncovered evidence, including legal documents tying the would-be killer and drug dealer, Bill Wasz, to Robert Kardashian.
Months before Nicole and Goldman were found murdered outside of Nicole's condominium, Robert, the late father of reality TV sisters Kim, Kourtney and Khloé, allegedly hired an unemployed 31-year-old cocaine dealer and career criminal, Bill Wasz, to take Nicole out.
Robert was O.J.’s best bud and closest confidant throughout his infamous trial. He even reactivated his law license to get client-attorney privilege and carried O.J.’s suit to court every day.Robert was so loyal to O.J. that Robert sneaked that garment bag, which a lot of people have speculated it contained the murder weapon, out of his house.
Wasz claimed the scheme to wack Nicole began to unfold in January, 1994, when Kardashian paid him $1,000 to spy on Nicole and take pictures of any men she met. Wasz took pictures of Nicole kissing O.J.’s pal, retired NFL player Marcus Allen, on January 6th and 7th, 1994, in a restaurant parking lot in Encino, California. Waz gave two rolls of undeveloped film to the Rob.
When Rob showed the pictures to O.J., he flipped out. Wasz claims that , “He told me O.J. went ballistic. Robert said, ‘That bitch Nicole is costing O.J. $35,000 a month. She’s the mother of his kids and she’s still [having sex] with everybody. I want her gone, a bullet to the head.’ ”
Wasz said that Robert offered him $15,000 to carry out a bizarre two-part murder plot.
In documents allegedly seen by Radar, a email from 1998 from an anonymous whistleblower included a leaked proffer from Wasz’s lawyer, Larry Longo.
It read: “On about January 14 Bill Wasz met Robert Kardashian at his Encino home. At this meeting Kardashian offered Wasz $15,000 if he would kill Nicole with a .25 caliber bullet to the head. Robert Kardashian also told Wasz he was to steal [O.J.’s then-lover] Paula Barbieri’s car and use it during the murder.” The same document also claimed Wasz later met Robert and was given $7,500, “which was to be a partial payment for the killing.” Wasz began to wonder if he’d be framed for the murders, so he didn't go through with the plan.
Wasz did steal the SUV, but then robbed four stores across Los Angeles on Jan. 31, 1994, making off with $500 and a case of beer. He led police on a high-speed chase, fled on foot after crashing into several cars and was arrested.
When Wasz was finally apprehended, inside the SUV, a small notebook was found, in which Wasz had detailed his earlier surveillance of Nicole. The notebook also contained unlisted 1994 phone numbers for O.J. and Barbieri, and was retained by police as evidence.
Wasz’s attorney said: “There’s no reason for him to steal that car, except as part of a plan for something else.”
Wasz interviewed after Nicole and Ron's death in 1994. According to official documents, during that meeting, the officers asked Wasz if he knew Robert.
His reply was recorded as: “Mr. Wasz advised the detectives to look into the background of Mr. Kardashian as he is not all that clean.”
Wasz was sentenced to 20 years and served ten for his crime spree and his allegations were under the carpet.
Apparently a murder conspiracy didn’t fit with the district attorney’s case, which argued an enraged O.J. acted alone in the murders.
Deputy District Attorney Bill Hodgman made moves toward indicting Robin,but no charges were ever filed against him.
Investigative journalist Joseph Bosco met with Wasz and presented his findings to Time magazine, but they canceled the story just minutes before going to print in 1998.
In jailhouse interviews, Wasz continued to blame Robert and claimed the police were trying to suppress his story that including how he’d sold cocaine to Robert and O.J. was a bookie in his spare time.
Robert Kardashian died in 2003 from cancer of the esophagus.
Wasz was released from prison in 2004 and was discovered dead, at age 41, in “mysterious circumstances” in March 2005.
A coroner estimated Wasz had been dead three days by the time he was found. The death was never investigated by West Los Angeles homicide detectives and remains a mystery to this day. Wasz's memoirs are available in a book you can find on Amazon.com
