I was left troubled by ALL of the parties on the show. The timing of all of this bothered me. I guess thye all had to go on to maybe affect the outcome of the presdent trial..I do not know.
I know the Goldman's suffered a tragic loss, but Mr. Goldman to this very day has venom in his eyes. They just so not have any peace in their life. Usually anyone will tell you that people whom carry such hate and anger actually have their lives destroyed as a result. They cannot have Ron back.
Denise Brown is very upset with them for publsihing the book. I personally feel it is blood money. All they kept referring to was "where are the assets" so they can get them. This blood money is going to make things better? NO! Are the Goldman's getting any incoem from Ron's foundation? This was not mentioned. If so, then they are just out for the money.
The former agent of OJ's I found to be not creditble at all. The deceiving remarks of the proceeds leaves me to question his "moral conscience". If he is so guilt ridden, why is he lying about the proceeds?
If the Goldman's pursue criminal and civil action against the agent, then I will be convinced this Is all about money.
I am not defending OJ but I was not convinced he murdered. There is too much evidence theories that LAPD was involved directly. Mark Fuhrman was found guilty and convicted after the trial for perjury. So the LAPD was credible? I do not beleiee so.
There are several theories that police were at Nicole's house lookingfor Faye Resnick. Nicole got into it with them and one of the officers who was known to carry a large blad knife at all times was actually the one who killed her. Ron came up and was killed in the same manner. OJ is severly crippled. There is no way he could have killed them both. This was more than one person involved. Just because someone has a history of abuse does not make them a murderer.
I again feel this was a coverup by LAPD. Mark Fuhrman made those infamous tapes and was a known racist. He is too the ONLY one that found the gloves at Rockingham later and the extra blood that was somehow missed initially...weeks later. Why was there blood MISSING from the amount initially in the crime lab? Later there was additional blood found at Rockingham after the initial investigation...later. Missing blood from crime lab...then blood found LATER at Rockingham?? This indeed screams coverup!!!
If anyone cares to see another side of this story please look into the book:
Legacy of Deception: An Investigation of Mark Fuhrman and Racism in the L.A.P.D. (Paperback)
Here is a comment found on Amazon regarding the book:
This was one of the first books published about the crime. When the synopsis was turned over to the LAPD his cover was blown and he could not continue his investigation. His source was well informed, the results from the trial showed this.
The following may provide a short review of the case.
The testimony of the two witnesses who cannot lie says that O.J. Simpson is not guilty of the murders. The autopsy of Nicole Brown found blood and flesh under her fingernails; the blood type did not match O.J. Simpson (or Ron Goldman or Nicole Brown). Ron Goldman worked out and practiced karate a couple of times a week, he played tennis, and walked to work. At 25 he was in prime physical shape; his hands showed bruises from punching someone in the face and head more than once. O.J. Simpson had no scratches or bruises on his face or hands or body after the murders; he could not have been a lone murderer.
The newspapers reported that when the victims were found after 12:15 AM their red blood was trickling down the sidewalk. The color photographs printed in the National Enquirer showed the bodies covered in red blood. This means they were freshly killed, around 11:30 PM, because their blood would be black and clotted if dead for over an hour (as in the Borden murders). Since the limousine driver picked up O.J. Simpson at 11 PM he could not have been present at the murders. This proves him innocent of murder.
The O.J. Simpson case received more publicity absolutely and relatively than the impeachment of the President, or even the Oklahoma City bombing. The National Association of Editors and Publishers has never explained why. You could ask the rumor mongers on talk radio why they were told to publicize and prejudge this case before the facts came out at the trial, and why some continue to ignore these facts. I think this is more than the gossip of idle tongues. This case could become a textbook example in the use of propaganda by the news media.
The book "Killing Time" by D. Freed and R. Briggs, which covers this case, also tells about the "Black Dahlia" crime which was never solved even after the murderer confessed! Will the Brown-Goldman murders forever remain an unsolved mystery?
Logically and legally a person is considered innocent until proven guilty. If not found guilty, the accused is innocent. People do not always understand or accept this in all cases. But a jury is always told to wait until all the testimony is given before deciding on a verdict. Many people will form an opinion when they hear the first news, and ignore newer facts.
Additional comments:
In the 1980s the Denver journalist Stephen Singular investigated the assassination of a radio talk show host by Nazi sympathizers. His book became the basis for the movie "Talk Radio".
In August 1994 he received a phone call from an unnamed source in Los angeles, who advised him to investigate the case against OJ Simpson: "the Nazis are inside the system"; "all the blood evidence is suspect". Given these clues, he began his search. He called at Johnnie Cochran's law firm, and met a lawyer. He was viewed suspiciously: "how do we know you're not a nut case, or a plant by the DA to waste our time?" he was asked. His credentials as a journalist answered the first question. His advice checked out: "the blood sample will contain EDTA, but it must be carefully tested to avoid destroying it:.
As an independent journalist, he prepared a confidential synopsis of his proposed book to interest a publisher. The publisher turned over a copy to the LAPD, which prevented him from continuing his work. This book tells the story of his research.
I never felt OJ was guilty. I was not convinced of as how the prosecution PRESENTED the case. Should the Goldman's receive the artifacts that belong to OJ which the formner agent is keeping...what will they have? I hope that somehow the truth is revealed and the REAL killers caught. Then can the Goldman's ever forgive?
I pray for the truth. Dr. Phil, I wish you had the author of this book Legacy of Deception: An Investigation of Mark Fuhrman and Racism in the L.A.P.D.) on your show to explain his findings and give it from both sides. Maybe if there is a coverup, then killers would be exposed and these people can rest in peace.
