The Life and Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson

Unfortunately this is the same old story that unfolds in so many cases whether the woman survives the relationship or is murdered by the husband. Controlling man child who is abusive and crazy out of his mind.. Destroys his family, kills his wife and touches all the their families and lives with darkness, pain, and hurt.. It was so obvious from the beginning that OJ did it How could you ever think anything else The fact that he got away with it for so long is just disgusting! Thank God he was charged with other things as has been rotting in jail. I suppose that some sort of justice for the family but if only there is a way to prevent these scary out of control man children abusers from clamping their hands on these poor messed up women that they abuse and kill..

In Birmingham, Alabama during summer of 1970, I saw O. J. Simpson (The Juice) and Joe Namath (Broadway Joe) play in an exhibition game between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. Later I saw him as the smiling, personable star of some movies plus TV commercials for Hertz rental cars.

So it was a huge shock to see him in 1994 accused of a vicious double murder committed with two of his children nearby in the same home. Then O. J. ran away to Chicago where he magically cut his hands on a glass!

Next we saw on live national TV the interminable slow-moving white Ford Bronco pursuit. Then came the trial with all the testimony plus the blood scene evidence, which was still overwhelming beyond the nit-picking chain of custody objections. Then we saw the murder gloves, which would have fit O. J. if not for him wearing protective gloves before donning the murder gloves. Then came the ultimate shock as O. J. was found not quilty.

Next O. J. had the gall and absolute arrogance to make money by writing his book about how he "would have" committed the murders "if" it had been him!

Personally, I'm surprised he was never killed by other inmates in prison like child murderers are sometimes killed by other inmates. I'm also surprised the Goldman family or some friend of Ron or Nicole never hired a hit man to take care of O. J.

The only justice O. J. ever got is being served eternally in the next life, the one after death.

This Lifetime special with Nicole's sisters is finally, 30 years later, letting us hear fully from them about how the horror of O. J. 's actions forever changed their lives with unimaginable grief. The shows are well done, empathetic, yet tasteful without being maudlin.

The sisters, the Brown family, the Goldman family, O. J.'s two children who heard and maybe saw the murders, and all the people whose lives were forever tragically changed by O. J., they all deserve our prayers and compassion. May they somehow find peace.

Along with incompetent prosecutors (I read Marcia Clark's book on the OJ trial), and the smarmy defense attorneys (especially F. Lee Bailey), phony witnesses such as Kato Kaelin and Al Cowlings lead to a celebrity getting away with a double-murder. Just compare Kaelin's criminal trial testimony with his testimony in the civil trial, and you will notice the complete transformation and what he saw and did on the night of the murder at the Brentwood home. Unfortunately, the criminal trial was televised, and Kaelin, being an actor, and staring into the court cameras, did not want to inhibit his future career prospects by testifying truthfully.
