American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson (2025) s01e01 Episode Script
The Blood
LOS ANGELES OCTOBER 3, 1995
You can feel the anticipation outside the courthouse.
This is the day that everyone has been waiting for for more than a year.
The verdict is in.
There is no doubt that this will go down in history.
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
I remember when my wife came from my right side.
He looked at me and said:
"They blame you for everything."
30 years later, it is a monster, constantly devouring everything in its path.
all the black people!
"If it doesn't fit, open the door."
The case seemed straight out of Hollywood.
It would have been perfect for a movie.
14 units have arrived.
There was a celebrity.
What can you tell me, OJ?
Money.
Release the tapes !
Career.
The secrecy continues.
And of course murder.
We are seeking the truth about who is responsible for this.
Let's talk about the search for truth , but whose truth is it?
I was told to trust the process,
But I don't think there is a right if a loved one is brutally murdered.
Let's move on to the courtroom. The time has come.
Who gets nervous?
Trower's assistance. Call the jurors.
Mr. Simpson. Please stand up .
I believe
that right can mean different things to different people.
Supreme Court of California, County of Los Angeles.
California State Residents -
vs. Orenthal James Simpson. Case Number BA097211.
We, the jury in that case,
We found the defendant Orenthal James Simpson in…
DATA
BRENTWOOD, CALIFORNIA
JUNE 12, 1994 14 MONTHS AGO
That night at 10 pm
I watched the news on the third floor . in the bedroom with my wife.
Southern California located on the transmission line.
I heard the dog barking.
Suddenly I heard two voices.
The first of them was the clear voice of a young man,
who said: "Hello, hello."
I was watching the Dick Van Dyke Show, which ended just before eleven-thirty.
Horrible. I look like a strangler.
Shortly after the show ended I went to walk my dog.
AT 22.55
I saw the dog on Dorothy Street and on the corner of Bundy Drive.
I thought he had escaped from somewhere.
Stephen Schwab said he found the dog.
We decided to take the dog for a walk so he could find his way home.
Se dice Bundy Drivelle.
I looked at his legs and paws.
It was a white dog and I thought it had brown mud on it.
Suddenly he wanted to go to the other side of the road.
After crossing the street, he stopped and turned to look down the courtyard hallway.
I looked in the direction of the dog.
I remember there was blood in the yard.
but I quickly looked away.
I told him, “Call 911. There’s a body.”
In 1994 I worked as D2 -
that is, as a detective in Los Angeles in the Western Homicide Division.
I was in charge for 19 years.
Detective Mark Fuhrman.
Los Angeles Police Detective Mark Fuhrman.
What do you think happened?
TWO HOURS AFTER FINDING THE BODY AT 1:05 AM
I wasn't supposed to work on Monday.
I got home at 1:05, and the kitchen phone started ringing.
there was a murder The Bundy Man Drivella Brentwoodissa.
I said I wasn't on duty.
But they replied: "I want you to take care of this."
"Okay. I'm coming."
I think he's a good cop. He's very aware of his surroundings.
The detective must be organized.
Both in thought and in task.
WALK BUNDY 800 SOUTH
I arrive at 875 Bundy Drive around 2:10.
We met Agent Riske,
who was the first to arrive at the crime scene.
He spoke about the situation.
A white woman in a black dress lay in a pool of blood.
The woman had blonde hair, but it was covered in blood.
I saw something in the bushes.
It was a bad sacrifice ,
who was lying down backwards
a few meters from the woman.
The cause of death was unclear.
We didn't know if it was a shooting,
of a white or blunt weapon.
We didn't know what had happened.
Such an attitude is distant, when it comes to work.
It is upsetting that two people have been killed in the courtyard,
no nace at that time.
AT 2:30 AM
Around 2:30 my co-worker Brad Roberts showed up.
He showed where the victims were.
DETECTIVE DE LAPD
We look at the bodies lying on the ground.
Blood gushed from their heads
lengthwise down the courtyard walkway.
Agent Riske mentioned to us about a dark cap -
and the glove,
every first observation Based on that, it seemed unique.
It looked like a fairly large leather glove.
We observed blood spatter and footprints.
The suspect appeared to run down the patio hallway to the back door.
BLOODY FOOTPRINTS
I mentioned to him at the door of the falling drops of blood,
and Roberts said there was a trace of blood on the tourniquet.
A beautiful, bloody fingerprint on the round brass door ,
who opened the back door.
To which I replied, "Fuck no!"
Bloody fingerprints NOT COLLECTED AS EVIDENCE
I wrote it,
but it had to be forensically collected and shot outdoors.
The blood spot seemed to lead
a una fingerprint o fingerprint biased.
Intenté notar as much as possible.
We went to the backside of the house.
The garage was open.
We entered the apartment.
There were two children upstairs.
They were taken to the police station.
There were two victims.
The cause of death is unknown,
and I didn't know how the victims were related to each other.
The woman had no shoes.
The man had done it.
I thought of a barefoot woman. She had probably been in the house.
Sheriff Riske went back inside the house and saw something.
There was a letter on the front door.
OJ Simpson was tagged as the return address.
The house belonged to Nicole Brown Simpson, who was the ex-wife of OJ Simpson.
Alright.
It would become a media event.
Good audience. DO Simpson.
D.O. Simpson.
DO Simpson. -DO Simpson.
He was the most popular football player of all time, and a Heisman Trophy winner.
You have to work for success. I don't consider it a sacrifice.
He wanted the ball.
Of the thousand meters.
OJ Simpson has broken through an insurmountable obstacle.
The producers asked me if I could act.
I said I can try.
DO Simpson. - The image is almost the same as mine.
What drives OJ Simpson? The need to celebrate himself?
I want people to recognize me.
Ladies and gentlemen. DO Simpson.
Fun. I've always gotten what I wanted.
That night June 12, 1995 at 10:45 p.m.
I drove to the store called Westbound Ho in Brentwood.
The witness does not want his real name to be published
Tell me about Sunday night .
As I approached Bundy Drive, A car headed towards the red ones.
CRIME SCENE
A white SUV entered the median.
The Bronco entered the median and stopped.
Another car blocked that road.
The driver gave me a nasty look.
He looked at me.
As if I had done something.
he was angry as if it was my fault.
I recognized him as a soccer player.
He shouted angrily, "Get out of the way! Speed up!"
I recognized his voice because he had acted in a movie.
On a naked weapon.
Police! Drop your gun!
I recognized OJ Simpson's voice.
According to the witness traffic dispute with OJ -
happened at the time of the murders.
JILL SHIVELY WAS NOT CALLED TO WITNESS
DO cancelled outside the center,
turned north onto Bundy Drive and left.
My dream was to become famous.
Sit on the witness stand and state your full name.
Brian Kato Kaelin, BRIAN.
I became famous for the wrong reason.
DO GUES
In a couple of days, the media turned me into a celebrity, a fool, a parasite
and the killer's target.
People are still obsessed with celebrities.
Simpson's celebrity guest.
Look at Kaelin. -Look at Kaelin.
I was going to sit on the couch, but…
Maybe I'll stay.
I came to California to act.
About Nicole and I They became friends in December 1993.
Friendship was important in my opinion .
Significantly, he let his children be with me.
Nicole got a puppy
and the children thought, What would they name the dog?
They called him Kato.
Nicole's Kato the Dog Howling.
There were two Katos. Me and the dog.
AUGUST 1, 1993
OJ and Nicole's relationship was like an elevator.
It kept going up and down.
My wife Nicole came into my life -
during the most difficult moment of the athlete, that is, down my career.
He made those years the best of my life.
When they were in love, they seemed to be together.
When there was no love, they didn't belong.
It was difficult to know what stage their relationship was at.
March 2, 1992
WIFE FILES DIVORCE
They had broken up, but I started dating again.
Speaking of women
There it is. -With another shot of tequila.
OJ didn't want to lose and thought he would always get her back.
Nicole has always been adamant about
that I was a good father.
Even when we were apart , he always trusted me.
A woman wouldn't do that.
if it is considered offensive to another, jealous or possessive.
I guess it all comes down to
that OJ knew Nicole could move on with her life,
and destroyed it.
I was looking for an apartment then,
and OJ offered me a place to stay, saying, “I have a free bungalow.
Live there until you find an apartment."
THE SIMPSON HOUSE 360 ROCKINGHAM AVENUE AT 10:52 PM
I was talking on the phone.
I leaned against the bed.
Suddenly I heard a voice.
Shaking.
I heard a loud thud, which consisted of three different strikes .
The board moved.
It moved like during an earthquake.
I said to my friend, "The earth is shaking. Did you feel it?"
I didn't know.
It had to be for something.
The next thing I heard was a doorbell.
It came from the intercom,
and I assumed there was someone at the door .
I went out and walked around the yard,
and I saw a limousine with a driver.
Where were you working on June 12?
City and country limousines.
I was supposed to collect Mr. Simpson from 360 Rockingham.
There is an intercom at the door.
I reported my result using it.
A white man stepped ahead , coming from behind the house.
I ran out and saw the car.
He asked about the earthquake.
After that I saw the figure at the beginning of the driveway,
who arrived at the entrance of the house.
About 180 centimeters tall and 90 kilograms . Dark clothing.
Was the person Caucasian or African American?
Negro.
Could the court ask the accused to appear?
Have you ever seen a person of this size? At the entrance to Rockingham House?
Yeah.
I called a few more times.
This time there was a response. It came from Mr. Simpson.
He said he slept on the bomb.
I had been in the shower and soon I would be.
OJ exposed the driver while he was waiting and standing at the door .
He didn't speak but hurried to the airport.
The driver opened the trunk and I drove off with the suitcases.
I saw a separate bag.
A small sailor's bag.
I started walking towards the bag, and OJ said, "No, I'll take it."
Even then I thought:
"Why didn't he want me to take it?"
Mr. Simpson said we had to go. Then we left.
Los Angeles International Airport
I drove to American Airlines Terminal 5.
My name is Skip Junis.
I was at LAX to pick up my wife,
and I had parked there, where the assistants usually work.
Only my car was there when the limousine arrived.
I opened the hatch. Mr. Simpson came out.
That's when OJ Simpson got out of the limo.
We started to take out the suitcases,
and asked to get an assistant.
He did something special.
I had Louis Vuitton bags,
but he had a cheap canvas bag in his hand.
I saw him speak to assistant and driver.
I wouldn't let them touch the bag.
He was wearing a sailor jacket over his shoulder .
He immediately went to the trash can.
He unzipped the bag -
and took out something which he immediately threw into the trash .
It seemed to be something long and wrapped in cloth.
SKIP JUNIS WAS NOT CALLED AS A WITNESS
Then he entered the terminal.
Did you know what flight he was on?
I believe in Chicago.
875 BUNDY DRIVE
A LAS 2:39 A.M.
I returned home,
and my boss, Detective Ron Phillips
He arrived and said the incident would be transferred to the robbery-homicide division.
Chief Frankel was ordered to hand over the case to the Robbery-Homicide Division.
It was no longer our responsibility.
We better get away from the crime scene.
go wait for their arrival and await instructions.
It was clear that the case would be transferred to the robbery-homicide division.
I was assigned to the robbery-homicide division, called the Homicide Task Force.
The group deals with high-profile cases such as celebrity crimes,
organized crime, serial murders and things like that.
Tell me your name. -Thomas.
Murhaetsivä Tom Lange.
Tom Lange, TOM LANGE.
So I had about 20 years of experience in homicide investigations.
Between 200 and 250 boxes are manufactured.
There is a saying in the murder manual,
that only we alone put ourselves in the skin of a murder victim,
and nobody else does it.
Only we can do something.
We help the victims.
Two detectives arrived.
Tom Lange and Phil Vannatter.
The area with its alleys was secluded .
Detectives do this from the beginning, so as not to step on the evidence.
Did Detective Phillips show anything?
Yes. -What?
It illuminated what was on the ground. on white.
It was slightly open and between the bodies.
The shell looked official, and there was something inside.
It turned out that there were glasses inside.
It was clearly a violent crime .
It looked like something from a knife attack.
The woman's head was almost cut off.
Footprints led away from the crime scene.
The blood spots had a clear connection to them.
The suspect may have been injured from the left side.
We would get a depression the size of the foot.
The important thing was that two children,
who had slept in the house, had been taken to the police station.
The woman was at home with her children.
OJ Simpson's ex-wife.
The commander made a decision. Contact OJ Simpson,
because he would certainly like to get his son back -
and information about what had happened.
We had to talk to him immediately because the media would get excited about it.
ex-husband and our first and only witness -
would be an integral part of this study.
Our intention was that myself and my partner would meet Mr. Simpson.
I'm OJ Simpson.
We had to meet him and encounter him.
We questioned him about the murder.
and we believed that Phillips and Fuhrman could help manage the situation .
Detective Phillips told us,
that Detective Fuhrman had been
in place years ago .
NINE YEARS AGO
It was vacation time and many were going to a New Year's party.
We walked to the patio.
Nicole was in the convertible Mercedes.
The windshield was broken
and she cried inconsolably.
Simpson was on the left.
and holding a baseball bat -
an angry look on his face.
I said to Nicole, “Are you okay?”
You can make a report here. Otherwise, I can't do anything."
He replied that it was fine.
I told him something that has haunted me endlessly.
"Your life is yours."
THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER AT 4:45 AM
Two detectives suspected OJ Simpson of the double murder of his ex-wife.
They had a burning crime scene ,
and they went with the ex-husband to tell about the death of his ex-wife.
If there are four detectives, you cannot leave the crime scene.
I roll my eyes but the case was none of my business.
They left from there.
CRIME SCENE 875 SOUTH BUNDY DRIVE
We arrived at Rockingham.
There is a phone next to the door , but no one answered.
In front of the metal door was a white Bronco parked.
It was slightly crooked as if it had not been corrected.
I think in my mind: “The houses here are huge.
They all have a gate.
"Why would anyone leave? A car like that?"
I walked around the Bronco shining a light at it.
I looked at its handle and noticed little spots .
I looked at it closely
He said, "There might be blood on the door."
The color was dark brown and reddish .
with translucent edges as occurs with dry blood .
Lange, Vannatter and Phillips spoke.
I was late because I was a junior detective, and at some point I interrupted them.
“We are investigating a double murder.
There's something inexplicable about the Bronco.
and I think I see blood.
This is the Simpsons' house.
We need to make sure that no one here is dead,
causing death or injury.
"We have to talk to him."
Exigent circumstances.
If you think it is an emergency ,
has a duty to investigate the matter.
We had to make sure everyone was okay.
That's all.
How would we get in? I climbed over the wall and released the door mechanism.
Fuhrman opened the door and we all headed to the front door.
We called, but no one answered.
We look to the north side.
A small path led to the back.
There we saw two or three bungalows.
We knocked on the door of the first bungalow.
The white man opened the door.
thin boy, who had long blond hair.
There were four Los Angeles police detectives at the door.
One of the gentlemen was Detective Fuhrman.
and he asked me, shining a flashlight into my face,
Did I use drugs? I said no.
"Is Simpson there?"
"No, he went to Chicago."
He was said to have left for a meeting and a golf outing,
and would return the following night.
They asked the occupant of the other bungalow:
and I said that Arnelle lived there, OJ's daughter from his first marriage.
Vannatter, Lange and Phillips I went to another bungalow.
We didn't know who the man really was.
We should not forget it.
I stayed with him.
Arnelle arrived at the door ,
and I asked him, "What's going on in the house?"
He said he has the key and went to get it.
Phil stayed with her. I went to see the house.
It was impeccable.
We also knew that Simpson was back in Chicago.
We had to make an announcement.
Ron Phillips called OJ.
A male voice that I recognized as Simpson answered the phone.
I asked him, "Is there OJ Simpson?"
He replied, "Yes, who's calling?"
“This is Detective Phillips from the LAPD. I have bad news .”
He told about the death of his wife.
not to mention the manner of death.
"Your ex-wife Nicole Simpson is dead."
He probably answered:
“Oh my God, Nicole was murdered. He's dead.”
Then he left his room.
“You have to come back here.
"We picked up the children."
To which he said: “How is that? Are my children at the police station?”
"We couldn't take them anywhere else."
At that point he said, “I'm leaving from Chicago on the first flight out."
He didn't ask what had happened.
Simpson didn't ask much.
He didn't ask how his children were.
or who could have killed Nicole.
He didn't ask anything which makes no sense.
BUNGALOW
I stayed in a bungalow with Kato.
I asked him if anything strange had happened .
I told him, "I don't know if it's important,
but my wall board was moving.
I also heard a voice. "Was there an earthquake here?"
"What do you mean?" I stopped everything.
I went out to see the places more clearly.
Where was the south wall of the Roof?
What exactly was he talking about?
I walked around the bungalow -
and I reached the courtyard path.
I looked around and then down.
I saw an object.
It seemed -
of the glove.
I was very surprised.
I noticed that it looked just as good as a glove on Bundy Drive.
I said, "Detective Lange. I'll show you something."
It looked like a right-hand glove.
You could see the thumb.
Bundy Drive had a left-handed glove.
At that moment -
it was a crime scene .
We had to get a registration sequence before we could search for anything.
AT 6:15 AM
What happened, when did you date Detective Lange?
Detectives Lange and Vannatter were talking among themselves.
We decided that Phil would come back and apply for a search warrant.
I would return to the crime scene and I would start an investigation.
The conversation was lively, and Vannatter said
I asked him to go back to Bundy Drive to look at another glove,
so I can verify what I actually saw.
He said, "Go to Bundy Drive and take a good look at the glove…
We wanted to find out if the gloves were the same.
I went back to Bundy Drive. There was a photographer.
Detective Phillips ordered the photographer to be taken away
to describe the glove in its original position -
and transfer it for examination, if necessary.
We would describe it as, as we originally found it.
I started to think, How could I get past Nicole?
without stepping in blood, I would bend down, check the glove.
and I would get out of there without falling or shedding blood.
Somehow I did it.
The press began to arrive at Bundy Drive.
Word had spread and people were asking about it.
When the sun came up we had a problem.
I will never forget that day.
I got a call from the editor in chief.
He said: “It’s happening in Brentwood. OJ Simpson’s wife has been murdered.”
I thought then that murders don't happen often in Brentwood.
I went to the crime scene, which was full of problems.
It was not just any murder.
OJ Simpson joined, and it had happened in Brentwood.
They meant that the incident was very different all over what had happened before.
Nicole Brown Simpson, 34,
OJ Simpson's ex-wife has been found dead .
He was married to football star OJ Simpson.
It is not known whether Mr Simpson is a suspect.
Cameras were installed 34 meters away.
to the hill across the street to photograph Nicole's body.
The cameras detected it at a hair's breadth of 60 meters away.
The body is evidence as is everything in it.
Must be protected.
At the crime scene
it is important to protect the evidence.
I was unable to speak to OJ or any other suspect -
and discuss the evidence to see if you know anything.
If the evidence is clearly viewable on the news, I miss the opportunity.
I told the police there to cover the body with a clean blanket.
The most unpleasant task is to notify the family of the death.
I've done it many times. That's the worst part of this job.
Nicole's parents lived in South Bay, Orange County.
I told them, "I'm sorry, but your daughter has been murdered."
Then I heard a squeak.
"That bastard killed him!"
I was like, "Oh my God, he finally did it."
The man said, "Who?"
I said his name.
The woman screaming was Denise, Nicole's older sister .
"It's OJ. I know he did it."
"That fucker did it?" She screamed incessantly.
He did it. You killed Nicole. You know that.
I considered OJ as a possible suspect.
I mean we had to talk to him.
What time did he leave?
We are looking for a limousine driver.
I was supposed to pick up Mr. Simpson at 10:45 p.m.
When did he come? What did he see?
We needed a moment of death.
I heard a dog barking.
We needed all of that to establish a schedule.
It would be great if he had committed two murders,
He showered, got into the limo, drove to the country and flew to Chicago.
875 Bundy Street AT 7:30 AM
Bundy Drive Crime Scene It was very difficult.
We should take care of everything before the media started interfering with our work.
I needed forensic scientists, samplers,
photographers and others to expand our search.
My name is Dennis Fung.
Dennis Fung and criminals rikospaikalla.
When you record evidence, it must be described.
You have to pick them up in some way .
I hadn't practiced with Dennis.
He seemed smart.
I had no experience with high-profile cases.
In a way that is natural for police processing. There were many people there,
and we were still trying to figure out who the other victim was.
Finally another victim identified as Ron Goldman.
It was a young man who had apparently been in a fight -
or in an argument,
and they had stabbed him.
I went home when my shift ended at the bank that day.
My boyfriend was home at that time , which was unusual.
RON GOLDMAN'S SISTER
He looked me in the eyes and said, "Call your father."
I said I had just gotten home.
"No, call your dad."
I began to think that perhaps this was Joe's path -
lure me into the guest room, because he was going to propose to her.
I went to the room and when there was no ring,
I decided to call my father.
My father answered the phone with his wife -
and they said to me: "Did you see the news?"
I said I hadn't seen them.
"Have you seen OJ Simpson?" I was totally confused.
And then dad said: my brother died and…
I remember falling to my knees out of the way, and then
I heard for the first time, What happened to him?
a couple of hours later in the car.
The radio was on and the reporter said:
that Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman -
had been murdered in Brentwood, California.
It's a vicious circle, because I don't want to be here.
I don't want to do this
but then my brother wouldn't be part of this.
And then I have to do it.
Other victims and survivors, whoever they may be
We have to continue like this, so that we can teach others -
and remember it wasn't just about the killer.
My brother was only 25 years old and he lost his whole life,
because someone else thought they had the power to take it.
My brother and I were exceptionally close.
He was fun and sociable. His energy was contagious.
My brother moved to Brentwood,
I fell in love with the sun, the beach, women and carelessness.
He was in his twenties and thought: what he wanted to do.
We can't spend time together and it's good to have come here.
To you. Where will I be in a year?
We ran to the airport
we boarded the flight
and I collapsed into my father's arms .
We learn more about Nicole Simpson about the man killed with.
The murdered man was Ron Goldman.
Over time, it became clear that one of those killed was Ron Goldman,
a waiter nearby at the Mezzaluna restaurant.
According to Mezzaluna employees:
Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman were just friends.
My brother met Nicole in Brentwood.
The community there was very small, so everyone knew each other.
They were friends.
I didn't understand why he was there.
before hearing that he was returning glasses.
Nicole and her family I went to eat at Mezzaluna.
Nicole's mother, Judith Brown. Hukkasi lasinsa Crescent moon.
That's why he called Nicole.
Nicole had reportedly called Mezzaluna, so I checked the call logs.
It was then 9:42 p.m.
After that, no one heard from Nicole again.
The deputy director left.
and I saw glasses in the gutter.
He told Ron Goldman,
who said he knew nicole and could take the glasses.
Ron was willing to help anyone and offered to take the glasses.
360 AVENIDA ROCKINGHAM
A LAS 7:30 A.M.
The photographer followed Roberts and I followed Rockingham.
We arrived there at half past eight.
It was brilliant and Mark had taken me to the Bronco.
and showed a blood spot from the car door handle.
I went to the passenger side and looked inside the car.
and I said, "Come and see, Mark."
The interior of the Bronco was covered in blood.
There was blood on the wheel and on the center console.
It was everywhere inside the car.
Then Brad walked behind the car.
and said, "Drops of blood."
There were several drops of blood on the Bronco's back,
which led from the driveway straight to the front door.
I didn't believe it.
While we wait for a registration sequence
I received two phone calls.
The first call came from Ron Shipp.
He was an LAPD cop and a friend of Simpson's.
My mom sent a message.
He said, "OJ Simpson's ex-wife just died."
FRIEND OF DO AND NICOLE
Shipp is a former Los Angeles police officer, who was good friends with OJ Simpson.
How and when did you find out about the murders, Ron?
I first called back home in shock.
I called the house, and Mark Fuhrman answered the phone.
We were acquaintances.
I said, "Mark, is Nicole dead ?"
He replied, "It is."
I asked him, "Did OJ do it?"
I said I can't say it.
"You know me, Marcos." I tried to get familiar.
He couldn't answer.
OJ Simpson, University of Southern California.
The “O” stands for Orenthal.
He runs 100 meters in 9.4 seconds, as the name suggests.
Thanks, DO
I was 15 years old when I met OJ Simpson.
He was like a superhero and
He was surprisingly kind.
Not arrogant at all, but down to earth.
Everyone around him Was like best friends.
He was amazing.
What were you like when you were a child?
I was a good boy. I screamed like most kids.
I didn't care about school. I just wanted to play sports.
The most important thing for someone who grew up in the ghetto is not money for a child, it's fame.
I wanted people to say, "There's orange juice."
Everyone in the football world knew that he was probably the best.
He was the first 2,000-yard rusher.
However, OJ liked acting.
Looking good is half the battle .
I like elegant and glamorous clothes.
OJ surprised all over the country.
You have to maintain a certain image.
He never said no.
He could do anything.
Many white people loved orange juice.
as well as many black people.
Margarita.
from an agency that works for Hertz When I advertise, I am colorless.
Above all I appreciate it.
"I'm OJ and I love everyone."
Actually . I wasn't pretending.
He loved everyone.
Some represent their race, and I represent all of humanity.
OJ Simpson was special.
Never in the darkest part of my imagination would I have believed
I didn't think he would do that.
360 AVENIDA ROCKINGHAM
We were informed that the search warrant was signed.
We could start the search.
Criminalist for Dennis There were new works in Rockingham.
Not only did we need a recording sequence
but also the district attorney.
A high-profile case sooner or later requires a prosecutor.
Preferably before.
In 1994 I was an assistant district attorney in Los Angeles.
I heard about the murders the same way as everyone else -
that is, through the media.
My view point was:
"God bless them, they meddle therein ."
DEPUTY PROSECUTOR
Everything was a disaster.
When the news started,
I saw Marcia Clark walk toward the front door at Rockingham.
I didn't think about his presence there,
because it was not my case.
Assistant District Attorney Marcia Clark walked through the door.
Marcia Clark tells it. -She gets straight to the point.
People think they know celebrities.
and they don't want to give up their imagination.
Marcia Clark is known as an excellent and intelligent prosecutor.
He said he would take care of it.
Clark was an experienced lawyer.
She is a very intelligent and capable woman.
He was clearly on his way to taking the lead.
Marcia Clark was named after me.
and the group wanted to sit at the patio table.
As he spoke, a fly flew over us. Three helicopters.
I asked him why we were sitting outside.
We were filmed and I could barely hear anything.
We moved to a place where they couldn't see us.
Nobody seemed to understand what happened.
I showed the whole house. Upstairs and downstairs and the yard.
I showed him all the evidence.
We went to the bedroom.
There were two socks down the bed.
It's just…
They were clearly visible like a pimple on a cheerleader's forehead.
At the top of the stairs was a row of lockers.
Brad saw that one of the doors was open.
and packages of medical supplies had been opened and left there.
NO EVIDENCE WAS COLLECTED
we went to the bathroom and saw the box.
On the edge of the bathtub there appeared to be a box of knives.
THAT WAS NOT CHARGED EITHER
On the light switch in the downstairs laundry room. It looked like a blood spot .
You guessed it: DO NOT PICK UP
There were clean clothes in the washing machine.
They were still wet.
NOT COLLECTED
No one recorded the evidence and I didn't take any photos,
because nothing was said.
No communication.
If something is considered evidence, you have to tell someone.
If Brad Roberts or Mark Fuhrman found something, it should be reported.
Mark gave the notes to Ron Phillips.
Phillips approached My note to Vannatter.
Vannatter opened the folder, put them in, close the folder,
and took him with him.
If it's important, you have to tell it.
I should have told him.
Why do we have to wait?
He didn't look at the notes.
Is Fuhrman's word the greatest truth?
We believe everything Mark Fuhrman says.
According to Simpson's lawyer, this was an overnight flight to Chicago.
and returned on Monday after contacting police.
Roberts and I explored the studio,
and said, "Simpson's coming up the driveway."
He took a quick step from the driveway to the front yard.
The police ran after him.
He told Simpson not to come in.
As soon as you walk through the door, they put him in shackles.
Absent.
I left the apartment and walked towards Mr. Simpson.
He asked for the handcuffs to be removed.
I explained to him why I was there and what was happening.
He stood in the front yard,
and Vannatter said to go to him, so I went.
OJ asked me, "What are the police here for?"
I said there was a bloody stick.
He asked, "Blood bar?"
"Yeah, damn old."
Then it went silent and I started sweating and hyperventilating.
He was breathing very heavily and kept screaming, "Oh, no."
I invited him to volunteer for questioning at the Parker Center.
He was alright .
This is the final warning. Turn back.
Phil Vannatter decided to take it to the center -
for questioning at Parker Center.
What do you say, OJ?
More. - Any comments?
Reverse.
You don't know anything? -One more step.
Are you under arrest, OJ?
We have a duty to talk to it .
and ask questions.
PARKER CENTER, LAPD HEADQUARTERS AT 1:35 P.M.
The day is June 13, 1994 and the time is 1:35 p.m.
We are here with OJ Simpson.
What we want to do
We are investigating the deaths of his ex-wife and husband.
What was your relationship like with your ex-wife?
We tried to get back together but it was in vain.
It didn't work out, so we went our separate ways.
He did not give direct answers.
What do you think happened? - I have no idea .
You haven't said anything.
A year of blood from his finger.
He gave our nurse a look and describe it.
the knuckle of the middle finger of his left hand seemed offended.
If we go back to the Bundy Drive crime scene ,
Your injury could have caused drops of blood -
to the left of the bloody footprints.
Where did that wound come from? - I don't know.
I asked him about the bleeding finger and we got three different answers.
I got it in Chicago.
How did you get there? - I broke the glass.
A bloody towel was found in a hotel room in Chicago.
One of you had called.
I was in the bathroom, and I guess I squirmed around a bit for a while.
He might have hurt his hand in Chicago when he broke the glass.
Is this how you got the wound?
The injury was already there but I guess it opened again.
I didn't know how he got it.
I remember years of blood in my house, and then I went
I got into the Bronco.
We questioned him,
and I have several conflicting
statements in 33 minutes.
Years of blood, but it didn't bother me.
That happens all the time. I'm always playing golf.
I scratch constantly.
A white ball is hit on the golf course.
when someone gives inconsistent statement -
again and again
could i be lying?
Did your lawyer mention a lie detector test?
I will definitely do it eventually but I think about how strange it is.
He said he would consider it a lie detector test.
There is blood in your car
just like in your house,
and a kind of problem.
Take a blood sample. -We would like to do that.
You're not sure either. How did you cut your finger ?
VOTING WAS NOT USED DURING THE TRIAL
He promised to give a blood sample.
after we get it I don't need to ask anything.
The blood says it all.
District Attorney would not approve high-profile case -
without solid evidence .
It would take time to retrieve the blood sample.
Are you under suspicion , Mr. Simpson? Can you say something?
Are you suspicious?
This seems to surprise you.
Police commented on the matter as follows:
No one has been arrested or prosecuted .
Simpson is not a suspect in this case.
He was released…
It was clear as day,
that OJ was not involved in the case only as the victim's ex-husband.
Investigation into OJ Simpson's home appears to continue well into the night.
Conan Noble reports from Brentwood.
At the end of the day, I got a call.
"You may go."
That's all.
I was tired. I hadn't slept for 1.5 days.
and I couldn't guess
what chaos would begin the next day.
I was no longer working on the case. I had to go ahead .
JUNE 15, 1994 TWO DAYS AFTER THE MURDERS
Two days after the murder
OJ Simpson announced that he has hired a new lawyer, Robert Shapiro.
Simpson has a new lawyer.
The famous lawyer Robert Shapiro…
Robert Shapiro was a top-notch Hollywood and celebrity lawyer,
who gained fame by contracting his clients.
They went to him if a negotiated solution was necessary.
LAWYER OF THE STARS
When this murder occurred,
OJ was at home waiting for the limo.
to get to the airport.
Known, respected , clear,
and very presentable, which was also important.
I knew Shapiro before he represented OJ Simpson.
He was a popular lawyer.
He represented defendants who stood out from the crowd .
He represented the rich.
Thank you so much.
OJ Simpson is at home in a luxury area -
in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
The family surrounds him.
I called the house repeatedly.
I was just waiting for someone to answer.
Miraculously, OJ finally responded.
I asked him if he would come visit on the way home, and he said, "Just come."
Which door are you at?
I walked towards the door .
Three televisions were on and he was watching the news about himself.
When you first saw it What do you remember?
What did you say?
The first thing I looked at was his finger .
He was in bandages .
I asked him what had happened?
All he said was, "I was in the car and he tried to take my phone away…
"I dropped it and the bank cut me off."
I didn't think anything thereon .
Someone else came up and asked OJ what really happened.
He said it would be fine.
Another asked him, What happened to the finger ?
and he said that glass had been cut in Chicago.
I look at her and think, what had she said -
which he got while looking for a cell phone.
I was getting ready to leave.
OJ followed me.
"Hi Ron. How long will it take for the DNA test results to come back?"
I asked myself, why did I want to know about DNA.
He mentioned the lie detector test,
and I asked him why wouldn't he want to do that?
He said, "I dreamed of killing him."
OJ dreamed that he killed Nicole. and now Nicole was dead .
I remember wondering thereon .
Nicole told me in 1989: "I have to tell you about your friend."
I asked him what he meant.
He said, "OJ hit me." I didn't believe him.
"No, OJ hit me, And it wasn't the first time ."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Then he showed me photographs.
I said, “Wow.
"Did he do that?"
The next day I spoke to OJ.
and I said, "I can't believe this. Did you hit him?"
"It was nothing.
He continued and I tried to stop him."
I didn't know then, OJ lied to me?
Now I knew.
I got out of there quickly.
I left OJ's house and got into my car.
I'm very upset and tired. I just want to rest.
First I called my wife and cried.
But.
I knew he did it.
JUNE 16, 1994 THREE DAYS AFTER THE MURDERS
I went to Nicole's funeral.
I can't say no more
than when I saw OJ there,
The situation was completely tense.
OJ seemed to be stunned.
He walked very slowly and did not talk to other people.
Some of my friends were cops, and I have security guys for OJ.
It was really strange,
and I couldn't get close to him.
Something seemed out of place.
Children often came to me. During the funeral.
I told you mommy is in heaven, and we had balloons.
I told them to send them to Mom.
They released the helium balloons into the sky and waved at them.
They didn't cry.
I don't think they really understood that they would never see their mother again.
30 kilometers away In Agoura Hills, California -
Relatives of Ronald Goldman gathered for his funeral.
I remember I was -
at the funeral home.
The coffin was down a long way.
We approached and there he was
My brother was…
They cut open his neck, so part of that was covered.
I remember leaning over him and crying.
I saw tears and thought she was crying.
Then I realized that my tears were mine. Everything was ruined.
We didn't know that the matter was so big -
and powerful.
The funeral was held indoors ,
and when we came out, thousands of people had gathered there.
I didn't expect that.
There were helicopters above us and the media was waiting.
It was very shocking, because I didn't understand what was happening.
If the few things we hear -
are true and Ron really put up with it
RON GOLDMAN'S FATHER
perhaps to help,
I wouldn't be surprised.
Unlike many other murder victims,
What happened to Ron became public very quickly,
So there was no doubt how the investigation progressed.
Many other families do not receive any information,
but they have to beg. We receive information constantly.
There is no Simpson officially identified as a suspect,
but no others are sought at this stage.
Has the investigation been completed? -No.
Can you tell me something?
The real evidence in this case
They are in samples and blood.
A white Ford Bronco is towed by police from OJ Simpson's home.
There was blood in the Bronco.
Someone put blood on the doorknob.
There were shoe prints with blood.
There was blood on the back of the Bronco.
A bloody glove answered the challenge of Bundy Drive.
You don't have to be a particularly good detective to solve the case.
As soon as the blood in the car can be linked to the blood at the crime scene,
an arrest warrant is issued.
The blood samples came back.
SCORE
OJ Simpson's blood was at the crime scene.
To the left of the footprint, the blood that was there belonged to him.
As for the blood in the Bronco,
We found the blood of three people.
Both victims and OJ Simpson.
OJ Simpson's blood was on Rockingham, and the truck went from Bronco to the house.
There was also OJ Simpson's blood on the glove on his right hand,
which was found in Rockingham, as well as the blood of both victims.
At that point we requested an arrest warrant.
There were hundreds of tests.
From all the little things a whole began to form.
It was decided to proceed with the arrest the following morning at 8:00 am.
Nobody predicted what would happen next?
It was something unprecedented.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney has filed a murder charge -
Orenthal contra James "OJ" Simpson.
None of this has happened.
A white car.
You can feel the anticipation outside the courthouse.
This is the day that everyone has been waiting for for more than a year.
The verdict is in.
There is no doubt that this will go down in history.
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
I remember when my wife came from my right side.
He looked at me and said:
"They blame you for everything."
30 years later, it is a monster, constantly devouring everything in its path.
all the black people!
"If it doesn't fit, open the door."
The case seemed straight out of Hollywood.
It would have been perfect for a movie.
14 units have arrived.
There was a celebrity.
What can you tell me, OJ?
Money.
Release the tapes !
Career.
The secrecy continues.
And of course murder.
We are seeking the truth about who is responsible for this.
Let's talk about the search for truth , but whose truth is it?
I was told to trust the process,
But I don't think there is a right if a loved one is brutally murdered.
Let's move on to the courtroom. The time has come.
Who gets nervous?
Trower's assistance. Call the jurors.
Mr. Simpson. Please stand up .
I believe
that right can mean different things to different people.
Supreme Court of California, County of Los Angeles.
California State Residents -
vs. Orenthal James Simpson. Case Number BA097211.
We, the jury in that case,
We found the defendant Orenthal James Simpson in…
DATA
BRENTWOOD, CALIFORNIA
JUNE 12, 1994 14 MONTHS AGO
That night at 10 pm
I watched the news on the third floor . in the bedroom with my wife.
Southern California located on the transmission line.
I heard the dog barking.
Suddenly I heard two voices.
The first of them was the clear voice of a young man,
who said: "Hello, hello."
I was watching the Dick Van Dyke Show, which ended just before eleven-thirty.
Horrible. I look like a strangler.
Shortly after the show ended I went to walk my dog.
AT 22.55
I saw the dog on Dorothy Street and on the corner of Bundy Drive.
I thought he had escaped from somewhere.
Stephen Schwab said he found the dog.
We decided to take the dog for a walk so he could find his way home.
Se dice Bundy Drivelle.
I looked at his legs and paws.
It was a white dog and I thought it had brown mud on it.
Suddenly he wanted to go to the other side of the road.
After crossing the street, he stopped and turned to look down the courtyard hallway.
I looked in the direction of the dog.
I remember there was blood in the yard.
but I quickly looked away.
I told him, “Call 911. There’s a body.”
In 1994 I worked as D2 -
that is, as a detective in Los Angeles in the Western Homicide Division.
I was in charge for 19 years.
Detective Mark Fuhrman.
Los Angeles Police Detective Mark Fuhrman.
What do you think happened?
TWO HOURS AFTER FINDING THE BODY AT 1:05 AM
I wasn't supposed to work on Monday.
I got home at 1:05, and the kitchen phone started ringing.
there was a murder The Bundy Man Drivella Brentwoodissa.
I said I wasn't on duty.
But they replied: "I want you to take care of this."
"Okay. I'm coming."
I think he's a good cop. He's very aware of his surroundings.
The detective must be organized.
Both in thought and in task.
WALK BUNDY 800 SOUTH
I arrive at 875 Bundy Drive around 2:10.
We met Agent Riske,
who was the first to arrive at the crime scene.
He spoke about the situation.
A white woman in a black dress lay in a pool of blood.
The woman had blonde hair, but it was covered in blood.
I saw something in the bushes.
It was a bad sacrifice ,
who was lying down backwards
a few meters from the woman.
The cause of death was unclear.
We didn't know if it was a shooting,
of a white or blunt weapon.
We didn't know what had happened.
Such an attitude is distant, when it comes to work.
It is upsetting that two people have been killed in the courtyard,
no nace at that time.
AT 2:30 AM
Around 2:30 my co-worker Brad Roberts showed up.
He showed where the victims were.
DETECTIVE DE LAPD
We look at the bodies lying on the ground.
Blood gushed from their heads
lengthwise down the courtyard walkway.
Agent Riske mentioned to us about a dark cap -
and the glove,
every first observation Based on that, it seemed unique.
It looked like a fairly large leather glove.
We observed blood spatter and footprints.
The suspect appeared to run down the patio hallway to the back door.
BLOODY FOOTPRINTS
I mentioned to him at the door of the falling drops of blood,
and Roberts said there was a trace of blood on the tourniquet.
A beautiful, bloody fingerprint on the round brass door ,
who opened the back door.
To which I replied, "Fuck no!"
Bloody fingerprints NOT COLLECTED AS EVIDENCE
I wrote it,
but it had to be forensically collected and shot outdoors.
The blood spot seemed to lead
a una fingerprint o fingerprint biased.
Intenté notar as much as possible.
We went to the backside of the house.
The garage was open.
We entered the apartment.
There were two children upstairs.
They were taken to the police station.
There were two victims.
The cause of death is unknown,
and I didn't know how the victims were related to each other.
The woman had no shoes.
The man had done it.
I thought of a barefoot woman. She had probably been in the house.
Sheriff Riske went back inside the house and saw something.
There was a letter on the front door.
OJ Simpson was tagged as the return address.
The house belonged to Nicole Brown Simpson, who was the ex-wife of OJ Simpson.
Alright.
It would become a media event.
Good audience. DO Simpson.
D.O. Simpson.
DO Simpson. -DO Simpson.
He was the most popular football player of all time, and a Heisman Trophy winner.
You have to work for success. I don't consider it a sacrifice.
He wanted the ball.
Of the thousand meters.
OJ Simpson has broken through an insurmountable obstacle.
The producers asked me if I could act.
I said I can try.
DO Simpson. - The image is almost the same as mine.
What drives OJ Simpson? The need to celebrate himself?
I want people to recognize me.
Ladies and gentlemen. DO Simpson.
Fun. I've always gotten what I wanted.
That night June 12, 1995 at 10:45 p.m.
I drove to the store called Westbound Ho in Brentwood.
The witness does not want his real name to be published
Tell me about Sunday night .
As I approached Bundy Drive, A car headed towards the red ones.
CRIME SCENE
A white SUV entered the median.
The Bronco entered the median and stopped.
Another car blocked that road.
The driver gave me a nasty look.
He looked at me.
As if I had done something.
he was angry as if it was my fault.
I recognized him as a soccer player.
He shouted angrily, "Get out of the way! Speed up!"
I recognized his voice because he had acted in a movie.
On a naked weapon.
Police! Drop your gun!
I recognized OJ Simpson's voice.
According to the witness traffic dispute with OJ -
happened at the time of the murders.
JILL SHIVELY WAS NOT CALLED TO WITNESS
DO cancelled outside the center,
turned north onto Bundy Drive and left.
My dream was to become famous.
Sit on the witness stand and state your full name.
Brian Kato Kaelin, BRIAN.
I became famous for the wrong reason.
DO GUES
In a couple of days, the media turned me into a celebrity, a fool, a parasite
and the killer's target.
People are still obsessed with celebrities.
Simpson's celebrity guest.
Look at Kaelin. -Look at Kaelin.
I was going to sit on the couch, but…
Maybe I'll stay.
I came to California to act.
About Nicole and I They became friends in December 1993.
Friendship was important in my opinion .
Significantly, he let his children be with me.
Nicole got a puppy
and the children thought, What would they name the dog?
They called him Kato.
Nicole's Kato the Dog Howling.
There were two Katos. Me and the dog.
AUGUST 1, 1993
OJ and Nicole's relationship was like an elevator.
It kept going up and down.
My wife Nicole came into my life -
during the most difficult moment of the athlete, that is, down my career.
He made those years the best of my life.
When they were in love, they seemed to be together.
When there was no love, they didn't belong.
It was difficult to know what stage their relationship was at.
March 2, 1992
WIFE FILES DIVORCE
They had broken up, but I started dating again.
Speaking of women
There it is. -With another shot of tequila.
OJ didn't want to lose and thought he would always get her back.
Nicole has always been adamant about
that I was a good father.
Even when we were apart , he always trusted me.
A woman wouldn't do that.
if it is considered offensive to another, jealous or possessive.
I guess it all comes down to
that OJ knew Nicole could move on with her life,
and destroyed it.
I was looking for an apartment then,
and OJ offered me a place to stay, saying, “I have a free bungalow.
Live there until you find an apartment."
THE SIMPSON HOUSE 360 ROCKINGHAM AVENUE AT 10:52 PM
I was talking on the phone.
I leaned against the bed.
Suddenly I heard a voice.
Shaking.
I heard a loud thud, which consisted of three different strikes .
The board moved.
It moved like during an earthquake.
I said to my friend, "The earth is shaking. Did you feel it?"
I didn't know.
It had to be for something.
The next thing I heard was a doorbell.
It came from the intercom,
and I assumed there was someone at the door .
I went out and walked around the yard,
and I saw a limousine with a driver.
Where were you working on June 12?
City and country limousines.
I was supposed to collect Mr. Simpson from 360 Rockingham.
There is an intercom at the door.
I reported my result using it.
A white man stepped ahead , coming from behind the house.
I ran out and saw the car.
He asked about the earthquake.
After that I saw the figure at the beginning of the driveway,
who arrived at the entrance of the house.
About 180 centimeters tall and 90 kilograms . Dark clothing.
Was the person Caucasian or African American?
Negro.
Could the court ask the accused to appear?
Have you ever seen a person of this size? At the entrance to Rockingham House?
Yeah.
I called a few more times.
This time there was a response. It came from Mr. Simpson.
He said he slept on the bomb.
I had been in the shower and soon I would be.
OJ exposed the driver while he was waiting and standing at the door .
He didn't speak but hurried to the airport.
The driver opened the trunk and I drove off with the suitcases.
I saw a separate bag.
A small sailor's bag.
I started walking towards the bag, and OJ said, "No, I'll take it."
Even then I thought:
"Why didn't he want me to take it?"
Mr. Simpson said we had to go. Then we left.
Los Angeles International Airport
I drove to American Airlines Terminal 5.
My name is Skip Junis.
I was at LAX to pick up my wife,
and I had parked there, where the assistants usually work.
Only my car was there when the limousine arrived.
I opened the hatch. Mr. Simpson came out.
That's when OJ Simpson got out of the limo.
We started to take out the suitcases,
and asked to get an assistant.
He did something special.
I had Louis Vuitton bags,
but he had a cheap canvas bag in his hand.
I saw him speak to assistant and driver.
I wouldn't let them touch the bag.
He was wearing a sailor jacket over his shoulder .
He immediately went to the trash can.
He unzipped the bag -
and took out something which he immediately threw into the trash .
It seemed to be something long and wrapped in cloth.
SKIP JUNIS WAS NOT CALLED AS A WITNESS
Then he entered the terminal.
Did you know what flight he was on?
I believe in Chicago.
875 BUNDY DRIVE
A LAS 2:39 A.M.
I returned home,
and my boss, Detective Ron Phillips
He arrived and said the incident would be transferred to the robbery-homicide division.
Chief Frankel was ordered to hand over the case to the Robbery-Homicide Division.
It was no longer our responsibility.
We better get away from the crime scene.
go wait for their arrival and await instructions.
It was clear that the case would be transferred to the robbery-homicide division.
I was assigned to the robbery-homicide division, called the Homicide Task Force.
The group deals with high-profile cases such as celebrity crimes,
organized crime, serial murders and things like that.
Tell me your name. -Thomas.
Murhaetsivä Tom Lange.
Tom Lange, TOM LANGE.
So I had about 20 years of experience in homicide investigations.
Between 200 and 250 boxes are manufactured.
There is a saying in the murder manual,
that only we alone put ourselves in the skin of a murder victim,
and nobody else does it.
Only we can do something.
We help the victims.
Two detectives arrived.
Tom Lange and Phil Vannatter.
The area with its alleys was secluded .
Detectives do this from the beginning, so as not to step on the evidence.
Did Detective Phillips show anything?
Yes. -What?
It illuminated what was on the ground. on white.
It was slightly open and between the bodies.
The shell looked official, and there was something inside.
It turned out that there were glasses inside.
It was clearly a violent crime .
It looked like something from a knife attack.
The woman's head was almost cut off.
Footprints led away from the crime scene.
The blood spots had a clear connection to them.
The suspect may have been injured from the left side.
We would get a depression the size of the foot.
The important thing was that two children,
who had slept in the house, had been taken to the police station.
The woman was at home with her children.
OJ Simpson's ex-wife.
The commander made a decision. Contact OJ Simpson,
because he would certainly like to get his son back -
and information about what had happened.
We had to talk to him immediately because the media would get excited about it.
ex-husband and our first and only witness -
would be an integral part of this study.
Our intention was that myself and my partner would meet Mr. Simpson.
I'm OJ Simpson.
We had to meet him and encounter him.
We questioned him about the murder.
and we believed that Phillips and Fuhrman could help manage the situation .
Detective Phillips told us,
that Detective Fuhrman had been
in place years ago .
NINE YEARS AGO
It was vacation time and many were going to a New Year's party.
We walked to the patio.
Nicole was in the convertible Mercedes.
The windshield was broken
and she cried inconsolably.
Simpson was on the left.
and holding a baseball bat -
an angry look on his face.
I said to Nicole, “Are you okay?”
You can make a report here. Otherwise, I can't do anything."
He replied that it was fine.
I told him something that has haunted me endlessly.
"Your life is yours."
THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER AT 4:45 AM
Two detectives suspected OJ Simpson of the double murder of his ex-wife.
They had a burning crime scene ,
and they went with the ex-husband to tell about the death of his ex-wife.
If there are four detectives, you cannot leave the crime scene.
I roll my eyes but the case was none of my business.
They left from there.
CRIME SCENE 875 SOUTH BUNDY DRIVE
We arrived at Rockingham.
There is a phone next to the door , but no one answered.
In front of the metal door was a white Bronco parked.
It was slightly crooked as if it had not been corrected.
I think in my mind: “The houses here are huge.
They all have a gate.
"Why would anyone leave? A car like that?"
I walked around the Bronco shining a light at it.
I looked at its handle and noticed little spots .
I looked at it closely
He said, "There might be blood on the door."
The color was dark brown and reddish .
with translucent edges as occurs with dry blood .
Lange, Vannatter and Phillips spoke.
I was late because I was a junior detective, and at some point I interrupted them.
“We are investigating a double murder.
There's something inexplicable about the Bronco.
and I think I see blood.
This is the Simpsons' house.
We need to make sure that no one here is dead,
causing death or injury.
"We have to talk to him."
Exigent circumstances.
If you think it is an emergency ,
has a duty to investigate the matter.
We had to make sure everyone was okay.
That's all.
How would we get in? I climbed over the wall and released the door mechanism.
Fuhrman opened the door and we all headed to the front door.
We called, but no one answered.
We look to the north side.
A small path led to the back.
There we saw two or three bungalows.
We knocked on the door of the first bungalow.
The white man opened the door.
thin boy, who had long blond hair.
There were four Los Angeles police detectives at the door.
One of the gentlemen was Detective Fuhrman.
and he asked me, shining a flashlight into my face,
Did I use drugs? I said no.
"Is Simpson there?"
"No, he went to Chicago."
He was said to have left for a meeting and a golf outing,
and would return the following night.
They asked the occupant of the other bungalow:
and I said that Arnelle lived there, OJ's daughter from his first marriage.
Vannatter, Lange and Phillips I went to another bungalow.
We didn't know who the man really was.
We should not forget it.
I stayed with him.
Arnelle arrived at the door ,
and I asked him, "What's going on in the house?"
He said he has the key and went to get it.
Phil stayed with her. I went to see the house.
It was impeccable.
We also knew that Simpson was back in Chicago.
We had to make an announcement.
Ron Phillips called OJ.
A male voice that I recognized as Simpson answered the phone.
I asked him, "Is there OJ Simpson?"
He replied, "Yes, who's calling?"
“This is Detective Phillips from the LAPD. I have bad news .”
He told about the death of his wife.
not to mention the manner of death.
"Your ex-wife Nicole Simpson is dead."
He probably answered:
“Oh my God, Nicole was murdered. He's dead.”
Then he left his room.
“You have to come back here.
"We picked up the children."
To which he said: “How is that? Are my children at the police station?”
"We couldn't take them anywhere else."
At that point he said, “I'm leaving from Chicago on the first flight out."
He didn't ask what had happened.
Simpson didn't ask much.
He didn't ask how his children were.
or who could have killed Nicole.
He didn't ask anything which makes no sense.
BUNGALOW
I stayed in a bungalow with Kato.
I asked him if anything strange had happened .
I told him, "I don't know if it's important,
but my wall board was moving.
I also heard a voice. "Was there an earthquake here?"
"What do you mean?" I stopped everything.
I went out to see the places more clearly.
Where was the south wall of the Roof?
What exactly was he talking about?
I walked around the bungalow -
and I reached the courtyard path.
I looked around and then down.
I saw an object.
It seemed -
of the glove.
I was very surprised.
I noticed that it looked just as good as a glove on Bundy Drive.
I said, "Detective Lange. I'll show you something."
It looked like a right-hand glove.
You could see the thumb.
Bundy Drive had a left-handed glove.
At that moment -
it was a crime scene .
We had to get a registration sequence before we could search for anything.
AT 6:15 AM
What happened, when did you date Detective Lange?
Detectives Lange and Vannatter were talking among themselves.
We decided that Phil would come back and apply for a search warrant.
I would return to the crime scene and I would start an investigation.
The conversation was lively, and Vannatter said
I asked him to go back to Bundy Drive to look at another glove,
so I can verify what I actually saw.
He said, "Go to Bundy Drive and take a good look at the glove…
We wanted to find out if the gloves were the same.
I went back to Bundy Drive. There was a photographer.
Detective Phillips ordered the photographer to be taken away
to describe the glove in its original position -
and transfer it for examination, if necessary.
We would describe it as, as we originally found it.
I started to think, How could I get past Nicole?
without stepping in blood, I would bend down, check the glove.
and I would get out of there without falling or shedding blood.
Somehow I did it.
The press began to arrive at Bundy Drive.
Word had spread and people were asking about it.
When the sun came up we had a problem.
I will never forget that day.
I got a call from the editor in chief.
He said: “It’s happening in Brentwood. OJ Simpson’s wife has been murdered.”
I thought then that murders don't happen often in Brentwood.
I went to the crime scene, which was full of problems.
It was not just any murder.
OJ Simpson joined, and it had happened in Brentwood.
They meant that the incident was very different all over what had happened before.
Nicole Brown Simpson, 34,
OJ Simpson's ex-wife has been found dead .
He was married to football star OJ Simpson.
It is not known whether Mr Simpson is a suspect.
Cameras were installed 34 meters away.
to the hill across the street to photograph Nicole's body.
The cameras detected it at a hair's breadth of 60 meters away.
The body is evidence as is everything in it.
Must be protected.
At the crime scene
it is important to protect the evidence.
I was unable to speak to OJ or any other suspect -
and discuss the evidence to see if you know anything.
If the evidence is clearly viewable on the news, I miss the opportunity.
I told the police there to cover the body with a clean blanket.
The most unpleasant task is to notify the family of the death.
I've done it many times. That's the worst part of this job.
Nicole's parents lived in South Bay, Orange County.
I told them, "I'm sorry, but your daughter has been murdered."
Then I heard a squeak.
"That bastard killed him!"
I was like, "Oh my God, he finally did it."
The man said, "Who?"
I said his name.
The woman screaming was Denise, Nicole's older sister .
"It's OJ. I know he did it."
"That fucker did it?" She screamed incessantly.
He did it. You killed Nicole. You know that.
I considered OJ as a possible suspect.
I mean we had to talk to him.
What time did he leave?
We are looking for a limousine driver.
I was supposed to pick up Mr. Simpson at 10:45 p.m.
When did he come? What did he see?
We needed a moment of death.
I heard a dog barking.
We needed all of that to establish a schedule.
It would be great if he had committed two murders,
He showered, got into the limo, drove to the country and flew to Chicago.
875 Bundy Street AT 7:30 AM
Bundy Drive Crime Scene It was very difficult.
We should take care of everything before the media started interfering with our work.
I needed forensic scientists, samplers,
photographers and others to expand our search.
My name is Dennis Fung.
Dennis Fung and criminals rikospaikalla.
When you record evidence, it must be described.
You have to pick them up in some way .
I hadn't practiced with Dennis.
He seemed smart.
I had no experience with high-profile cases.
In a way that is natural for police processing. There were many people there,
and we were still trying to figure out who the other victim was.
Finally another victim identified as Ron Goldman.
It was a young man who had apparently been in a fight -
or in an argument,
and they had stabbed him.
I went home when my shift ended at the bank that day.
My boyfriend was home at that time , which was unusual.
RON GOLDMAN'S SISTER
He looked me in the eyes and said, "Call your father."
I said I had just gotten home.
"No, call your dad."
I began to think that perhaps this was Joe's path -
lure me into the guest room, because he was going to propose to her.
I went to the room and when there was no ring,
I decided to call my father.
My father answered the phone with his wife -
and they said to me: "Did you see the news?"
I said I hadn't seen them.
"Have you seen OJ Simpson?" I was totally confused.
And then dad said: my brother died and…
I remember falling to my knees out of the way, and then
I heard for the first time, What happened to him?
a couple of hours later in the car.
The radio was on and the reporter said:
that Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman -
had been murdered in Brentwood, California.
It's a vicious circle, because I don't want to be here.
I don't want to do this
but then my brother wouldn't be part of this.
And then I have to do it.
Other victims and survivors, whoever they may be
We have to continue like this, so that we can teach others -
and remember it wasn't just about the killer.
My brother was only 25 years old and he lost his whole life,
because someone else thought they had the power to take it.
My brother and I were exceptionally close.
He was fun and sociable. His energy was contagious.
My brother moved to Brentwood,
I fell in love with the sun, the beach, women and carelessness.
He was in his twenties and thought: what he wanted to do.
We can't spend time together and it's good to have come here.
To you. Where will I be in a year?
We ran to the airport
we boarded the flight
and I collapsed into my father's arms .
We learn more about Nicole Simpson about the man killed with.
The murdered man was Ron Goldman.
Over time, it became clear that one of those killed was Ron Goldman,
a waiter nearby at the Mezzaluna restaurant.
According to Mezzaluna employees:
Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman were just friends.
My brother met Nicole in Brentwood.
The community there was very small, so everyone knew each other.
They were friends.
I didn't understand why he was there.
before hearing that he was returning glasses.
Nicole and her family I went to eat at Mezzaluna.
Nicole's mother, Judith Brown. Hukkasi lasinsa Crescent moon.
That's why he called Nicole.
Nicole had reportedly called Mezzaluna, so I checked the call logs.
It was then 9:42 p.m.
After that, no one heard from Nicole again.
The deputy director left.
and I saw glasses in the gutter.
He told Ron Goldman,
who said he knew nicole and could take the glasses.
Ron was willing to help anyone and offered to take the glasses.
360 AVENIDA ROCKINGHAM
A LAS 7:30 A.M.
The photographer followed Roberts and I followed Rockingham.
We arrived there at half past eight.
It was brilliant and Mark had taken me to the Bronco.
and showed a blood spot from the car door handle.
I went to the passenger side and looked inside the car.
and I said, "Come and see, Mark."
The interior of the Bronco was covered in blood.
There was blood on the wheel and on the center console.
It was everywhere inside the car.
Then Brad walked behind the car.
and said, "Drops of blood."
There were several drops of blood on the Bronco's back,
which led from the driveway straight to the front door.
I didn't believe it.
While we wait for a registration sequence
I received two phone calls.
The first call came from Ron Shipp.
He was an LAPD cop and a friend of Simpson's.
My mom sent a message.
He said, "OJ Simpson's ex-wife just died."
FRIEND OF DO AND NICOLE
Shipp is a former Los Angeles police officer, who was good friends with OJ Simpson.
How and when did you find out about the murders, Ron?
I first called back home in shock.
I called the house, and Mark Fuhrman answered the phone.
We were acquaintances.
I said, "Mark, is Nicole dead ?"
He replied, "It is."
I asked him, "Did OJ do it?"
I said I can't say it.
"You know me, Marcos." I tried to get familiar.
He couldn't answer.
OJ Simpson, University of Southern California.
The “O” stands for Orenthal.
He runs 100 meters in 9.4 seconds, as the name suggests.
Thanks, DO
I was 15 years old when I met OJ Simpson.
He was like a superhero and
He was surprisingly kind.
Not arrogant at all, but down to earth.
Everyone around him Was like best friends.
He was amazing.
What were you like when you were a child?
I was a good boy. I screamed like most kids.
I didn't care about school. I just wanted to play sports.
The most important thing for someone who grew up in the ghetto is not money for a child, it's fame.
I wanted people to say, "There's orange juice."
Everyone in the football world knew that he was probably the best.
He was the first 2,000-yard rusher.
However, OJ liked acting.
Looking good is half the battle .
I like elegant and glamorous clothes.
OJ surprised all over the country.
You have to maintain a certain image.
He never said no.
He could do anything.
Many white people loved orange juice.
as well as many black people.
Margarita.
from an agency that works for Hertz When I advertise, I am colorless.
Above all I appreciate it.
"I'm OJ and I love everyone."
Actually . I wasn't pretending.
He loved everyone.
Some represent their race, and I represent all of humanity.
OJ Simpson was special.
Never in the darkest part of my imagination would I have believed
I didn't think he would do that.
360 AVENIDA ROCKINGHAM
We were informed that the search warrant was signed.
We could start the search.
Criminalist for Dennis There were new works in Rockingham.
Not only did we need a recording sequence
but also the district attorney.
A high-profile case sooner or later requires a prosecutor.
Preferably before.
In 1994 I was an assistant district attorney in Los Angeles.
I heard about the murders the same way as everyone else -
that is, through the media.
My view point was:
"God bless them, they meddle therein ."
DEPUTY PROSECUTOR
Everything was a disaster.
When the news started,
I saw Marcia Clark walk toward the front door at Rockingham.
I didn't think about his presence there,
because it was not my case.
Assistant District Attorney Marcia Clark walked through the door.
Marcia Clark tells it. -She gets straight to the point.
People think they know celebrities.
and they don't want to give up their imagination.
Marcia Clark is known as an excellent and intelligent prosecutor.
He said he would take care of it.
Clark was an experienced lawyer.
She is a very intelligent and capable woman.
He was clearly on his way to taking the lead.
Marcia Clark was named after me.
and the group wanted to sit at the patio table.
As he spoke, a fly flew over us. Three helicopters.
I asked him why we were sitting outside.
We were filmed and I could barely hear anything.
We moved to a place where they couldn't see us.
Nobody seemed to understand what happened.
I showed the whole house. Upstairs and downstairs and the yard.
I showed him all the evidence.
We went to the bedroom.
There were two socks down the bed.
It's just…
They were clearly visible like a pimple on a cheerleader's forehead.
At the top of the stairs was a row of lockers.
Brad saw that one of the doors was open.
and packages of medical supplies had been opened and left there.
NO EVIDENCE WAS COLLECTED
we went to the bathroom and saw the box.
On the edge of the bathtub there appeared to be a box of knives.
THAT WAS NOT CHARGED EITHER
On the light switch in the downstairs laundry room. It looked like a blood spot .
You guessed it: DO NOT PICK UP
There were clean clothes in the washing machine.
They were still wet.
NOT COLLECTED
No one recorded the evidence and I didn't take any photos,
because nothing was said.
No communication.
If something is considered evidence, you have to tell someone.
If Brad Roberts or Mark Fuhrman found something, it should be reported.
Mark gave the notes to Ron Phillips.
Phillips approached My note to Vannatter.
Vannatter opened the folder, put them in, close the folder,
and took him with him.
If it's important, you have to tell it.
I should have told him.
Why do we have to wait?
He didn't look at the notes.
Is Fuhrman's word the greatest truth?
We believe everything Mark Fuhrman says.
According to Simpson's lawyer, this was an overnight flight to Chicago.
and returned on Monday after contacting police.
Roberts and I explored the studio,
and said, "Simpson's coming up the driveway."
He took a quick step from the driveway to the front yard.
The police ran after him.
He told Simpson not to come in.
As soon as you walk through the door, they put him in shackles.
Absent.
I left the apartment and walked towards Mr. Simpson.
He asked for the handcuffs to be removed.
I explained to him why I was there and what was happening.
He stood in the front yard,
and Vannatter said to go to him, so I went.
OJ asked me, "What are the police here for?"
I said there was a bloody stick.
He asked, "Blood bar?"
"Yeah, damn old."
Then it went silent and I started sweating and hyperventilating.
He was breathing very heavily and kept screaming, "Oh, no."
I invited him to volunteer for questioning at the Parker Center.
He was alright .
This is the final warning. Turn back.
Phil Vannatter decided to take it to the center -
for questioning at Parker Center.
What do you say, OJ?
More. - Any comments?
Reverse.
You don't know anything? -One more step.
Are you under arrest, OJ?
We have a duty to talk to it .
and ask questions.
PARKER CENTER, LAPD HEADQUARTERS AT 1:35 P.M.
The day is June 13, 1994 and the time is 1:35 p.m.
We are here with OJ Simpson.
What we want to do
We are investigating the deaths of his ex-wife and husband.
What was your relationship like with your ex-wife?
We tried to get back together but it was in vain.
It didn't work out, so we went our separate ways.
He did not give direct answers.
What do you think happened? - I have no idea .
You haven't said anything.
A year of blood from his finger.
He gave our nurse a look and describe it.
the knuckle of the middle finger of his left hand seemed offended.
If we go back to the Bundy Drive crime scene ,
Your injury could have caused drops of blood -
to the left of the bloody footprints.
Where did that wound come from? - I don't know.
I asked him about the bleeding finger and we got three different answers.
I got it in Chicago.
How did you get there? - I broke the glass.
A bloody towel was found in a hotel room in Chicago.
One of you had called.
I was in the bathroom, and I guess I squirmed around a bit for a while.
He might have hurt his hand in Chicago when he broke the glass.
Is this how you got the wound?
The injury was already there but I guess it opened again.
I didn't know how he got it.
I remember years of blood in my house, and then I went
I got into the Bronco.
We questioned him,
and I have several conflicting
statements in 33 minutes.
Years of blood, but it didn't bother me.
That happens all the time. I'm always playing golf.
I scratch constantly.
A white ball is hit on the golf course.
when someone gives inconsistent statement -
again and again
could i be lying?
Did your lawyer mention a lie detector test?
I will definitely do it eventually but I think about how strange it is.
He said he would consider it a lie detector test.
There is blood in your car
just like in your house,
and a kind of problem.
Take a blood sample. -We would like to do that.
You're not sure either. How did you cut your finger ?
VOTING WAS NOT USED DURING THE TRIAL
He promised to give a blood sample.
after we get it I don't need to ask anything.
The blood says it all.
District Attorney would not approve high-profile case -
without solid evidence .
It would take time to retrieve the blood sample.
Are you under suspicion , Mr. Simpson? Can you say something?
Are you suspicious?
This seems to surprise you.
Police commented on the matter as follows:
No one has been arrested or prosecuted .
Simpson is not a suspect in this case.
He was released…
It was clear as day,
that OJ was not involved in the case only as the victim's ex-husband.
Investigation into OJ Simpson's home appears to continue well into the night.
Conan Noble reports from Brentwood.
At the end of the day, I got a call.
"You may go."
That's all.
I was tired. I hadn't slept for 1.5 days.
and I couldn't guess
what chaos would begin the next day.
I was no longer working on the case. I had to go ahead .
JUNE 15, 1994 TWO DAYS AFTER THE MURDERS
Two days after the murder
OJ Simpson announced that he has hired a new lawyer, Robert Shapiro.
Simpson has a new lawyer.
The famous lawyer Robert Shapiro…
Robert Shapiro was a top-notch Hollywood and celebrity lawyer,
who gained fame by contracting his clients.
They went to him if a negotiated solution was necessary.
LAWYER OF THE STARS
When this murder occurred,
OJ was at home waiting for the limo.
to get to the airport.
Known, respected , clear,
and very presentable, which was also important.
I knew Shapiro before he represented OJ Simpson.
He was a popular lawyer.
He represented defendants who stood out from the crowd .
He represented the rich.
Thank you so much.
OJ Simpson is at home in a luxury area -
in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
The family surrounds him.
I called the house repeatedly.
I was just waiting for someone to answer.
Miraculously, OJ finally responded.
I asked him if he would come visit on the way home, and he said, "Just come."
Which door are you at?
I walked towards the door .
Three televisions were on and he was watching the news about himself.
When you first saw it What do you remember?
What did you say?
The first thing I looked at was his finger .
He was in bandages .
I asked him what had happened?
All he said was, "I was in the car and he tried to take my phone away…
"I dropped it and the bank cut me off."
I didn't think anything thereon .
Someone else came up and asked OJ what really happened.
He said it would be fine.
Another asked him, What happened to the finger ?
and he said that glass had been cut in Chicago.
I look at her and think, what had she said -
which he got while looking for a cell phone.
I was getting ready to leave.
OJ followed me.
"Hi Ron. How long will it take for the DNA test results to come back?"
I asked myself, why did I want to know about DNA.
He mentioned the lie detector test,
and I asked him why wouldn't he want to do that?
He said, "I dreamed of killing him."
OJ dreamed that he killed Nicole. and now Nicole was dead .
I remember wondering thereon .
Nicole told me in 1989: "I have to tell you about your friend."
I asked him what he meant.
He said, "OJ hit me." I didn't believe him.
"No, OJ hit me, And it wasn't the first time ."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Then he showed me photographs.
I said, “Wow.
"Did he do that?"
The next day I spoke to OJ.
and I said, "I can't believe this. Did you hit him?"
"It was nothing.
He continued and I tried to stop him."
I didn't know then, OJ lied to me?
Now I knew.
I got out of there quickly.
I left OJ's house and got into my car.
I'm very upset and tired. I just want to rest.
First I called my wife and cried.
But.
I knew he did it.
JUNE 16, 1994 THREE DAYS AFTER THE MURDERS
I went to Nicole's funeral.
I can't say no more
than when I saw OJ there,
The situation was completely tense.
OJ seemed to be stunned.
He walked very slowly and did not talk to other people.
Some of my friends were cops, and I have security guys for OJ.
It was really strange,
and I couldn't get close to him.
Something seemed out of place.
Children often came to me. During the funeral.
I told you mommy is in heaven, and we had balloons.
I told them to send them to Mom.
They released the helium balloons into the sky and waved at them.
They didn't cry.
I don't think they really understood that they would never see their mother again.
30 kilometers away In Agoura Hills, California -
Relatives of Ronald Goldman gathered for his funeral.
I remember I was -
at the funeral home.
The coffin was down a long way.
We approached and there he was
My brother was…
They cut open his neck, so part of that was covered.
I remember leaning over him and crying.
I saw tears and thought she was crying.
Then I realized that my tears were mine. Everything was ruined.
We didn't know that the matter was so big -
and powerful.
The funeral was held indoors ,
and when we came out, thousands of people had gathered there.
I didn't expect that.
There were helicopters above us and the media was waiting.
It was very shocking, because I didn't understand what was happening.
If the few things we hear -
are true and Ron really put up with it
RON GOLDMAN'S FATHER
perhaps to help,
I wouldn't be surprised.
Unlike many other murder victims,
What happened to Ron became public very quickly,
So there was no doubt how the investigation progressed.
Many other families do not receive any information,
but they have to beg. We receive information constantly.
There is no Simpson officially identified as a suspect,
but no others are sought at this stage.
Has the investigation been completed? -No.
Can you tell me something?
The real evidence in this case
They are in samples and blood.
A white Ford Bronco is towed by police from OJ Simpson's home.
There was blood in the Bronco.
Someone put blood on the doorknob.
There were shoe prints with blood.
There was blood on the back of the Bronco.
A bloody glove answered the challenge of Bundy Drive.
You don't have to be a particularly good detective to solve the case.
As soon as the blood in the car can be linked to the blood at the crime scene,
an arrest warrant is issued.
The blood samples came back.
SCORE
OJ Simpson's blood was at the crime scene.
To the left of the footprint, the blood that was there belonged to him.
As for the blood in the Bronco,
We found the blood of three people.
Both victims and OJ Simpson.
OJ Simpson's blood was on Rockingham, and the truck went from Bronco to the house.
There was also OJ Simpson's blood on the glove on his right hand,
which was found in Rockingham, as well as the blood of both victims.
At that point we requested an arrest warrant.
There were hundreds of tests.
From all the little things a whole began to form.
It was decided to proceed with the arrest the following morning at 8:00 am.
Nobody predicted what would happen next?
It was something unprecedented.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney has filed a murder charge -
Orenthal contra James "OJ" Simpson.
None of this has happened.
A white car.
