This series is great. I was 15 when this all happened and was glued to the TV. Then in the early ‘00’s I went to college in Florida and we met OJ at a bar in Hollywood, FL one night. He was surprisingly alone and we all ended up sitting together for a couple hours. No one dared mention anything about the case. We were young college kids. But as we got drunker, I started joking with him. He was extremely charismatic and actually fun. He also bought all of our drinks. Girls came up to him constantly. Even young college girls. By the end of the night I mentioned that I watched the entire trial as a teen. He asked me what I honestly thought. I told him I thought he was there but something happened that he couldn’t control and other(s) were involved. He raised his eyebrows, gave a very weird smile and winked at me. He then turned to some other people and never mentioned it again. I’ll never forget it. I’m pretty sure my friend has pictures from that night. We didn’t have smartphones then but I think he had one of those disposable cameras. I know I’ve seen one with us all out on the deck. I need to try to get those.

To be honest that is complete nonsense as it was solid evidence that OJ was guilty and who cares if he was denying guilt as that is the reason they were having a trial in the first place. Marcia and Chris were way out of their depth in this case, the DA couldn't have picked two more useless attorneys to try this case.

This case is so bizarre that there was actually a witness in Brentwood with the same name as the detective “Tom Lange”. And he claimed to have been the last person to see Nicole Brown alive - aside from the killer(s) - while walking his dog. He claimed he locked eyes with Nicole while giving his dog a verbal command. The defense chose not to have him testify because he claimed to have seen a white Ford F-350 truck parked outside Nicole’s while she was outside. He supposedly owned several Ford trucks & could’ve reliably identified the differences between the various models. He also claimed to have seen a man - not black - crouched outside of her gate as well. Never ending rabbit hole…

Thats because you did nothing but listen to the mainstream media when you came home from work. The media never told the truth, they never covered the relevant facts in the trial that the defense presented and they hardly reported the testimony from the police. You didn't watch the trial either. There's undeniable facts that the police planted evidence, it was PROVEN, scientifically proven and not only that but it was also circumstantially backed up. You can't just selectively choose what facts you like and ignore other facts. The defense more than proved wrongdoing on the part of The LAPD, which gives more than enough reasonable doubt. If you're gonna reply to me and try and counter what I'm saying, you need to have facts to prove me wrong. I have more than enough facts for me to confidently debate this. You think I'm bluffing? Well try me then IF you DO KNOW that the police planted evidence and conveniently ignore that, than you're not being genuine and there's no point of debating me. If you can't agree on the facts and won't concede, well it shows bad character on your part. Black America felt he was innocent and many were upset about Rodney King. White America praises authority and the establishment. Back then, white America would never accept that the police would do something like they did. There's clear bias in both groups and they could never get over it. But based on the facts, it just so happens that black America chose the correct side, regardless of their bias. It just amazes me after all these years, OJ Simpson even after death, still lives in the heads of white America rent free. You prove black Americas point that you didn't care about Rodney King but when OJ was set free, your whole world fell apart. It's just amazing to me. You all rush to judgement and just will not sit down and look at the facts with an open mind. You're too conditioned, you arrogantly think your world view is correct and nobody can tell you people anything. If the police came out and admitted that they planted evidence, you all still wouldn't believe it..

OJ's first wife Marguerite, who also grew up in that area, along with Al Cowlings, had said that OJ was a badass back then.

@@DeborahShuemaker Indeed! I am planning to buy Lange's books as well, starting with "Evidence Dismissed". His partner's name was Phil Vannatter, another great cop who sadly passed away in 2012. It would have been great to have him appear as a guest on this show as well. My understanding of Vannatter was that he was a very nice, straightforward and friendly guy who like Lange served his department with distinction. Vannatter also served in the military when he spent thirteen months in Korea, serving as a Spec-5 and working in army communications. He is sadly missed. It's a real tragedy that the defense had the gall to accuse Vannatter of planting OJ's blood at the crime scene, a highly respected 30 year veteran of the LAPD who was about to retire and who had not a single complaint against him in 30 years. Cochran really was a slime ball for ruining Vannatter's reputation wasn't he? I want to read Fuhrman's book "Murder in Brentwood". I have a huge amount of respect for all of the cops who worked this case. Unlike a lot of folks I don't hate Fuhrman, I respect Fuhrman because he did his job properly that night however I don't respect him pleading the 5th leaving the door open to the entire LAPD being corrupt, that was my biggest issue with Fuhrman. The tapes were part of a screenplay and fictional, something a lot of people forget when they point the finger of racism at Fuhrman. Fuhrman was not a racist. He helped free a black man from prison who was wrongly convicted of murder.

The case still divides America to this day. To think OJ is innocent means you have to throw away all the common sense you have and believe the entire LAPD came together at the last moment to in a last minute conspiracy to frame OJ Simpson. You have to believe that this conspiracy was hatched at the very last minute as most of those cops and criminalists didn't know each other before this case. Also for some twisted reason, the entire LAPD are racist and want to frame OJ (the most popular football player at the time, a guy who the LAPD loved as officers would come by his house daily for autographs before the murders) for this double murder. Let's also not forget that for Fuhrman to plant a glove at Rockingham he would have to have spoken to all of these officers at the crime scene who hadn't worked with him before to either agree to steal a glove from Bundy and give it to him, or, turn a blind eye for Fuhrman to steal the glove and they would falsify the police report to say only one glove was there. Let's also assume that all of these officers are happy to be sentenced to death for perverting the course of justice in a high profile double homicide case, because (here's the clincher!), he was black and all of those things are less important than framing a black man for murder. Those on the "OJ is innocent" bandwagon throw logic and common sense out of the window.

@TheTruthHeals4 ай бұрын
“Innocent” is a powerful word. OJ physically abused his wife and considered it a family matter… not exactly “innocent,” but that doesn’t automatically mean he murdered Nicole and Ron. I personally witnessed overwhelming evidence that proves to me that he did not do it… and the FBI agrees with me, regardless of whatever the LAPD has always said. It’s understandable that Detectives Lange and Vannatter always strived for total control (& credit) for such a high profile case, but at what cost? They WANTED OJ to be the killer… that’s why they never followed up with the household that Ron repeatedly called on his cellphone on the night of the murders. I was the last person to speak to Ron alive (aside from the killers). Why didn’t the LAPD use Ron’s cellphone records to determine Nicole’s and Ron’s time of death?! Ron was quickly dropping off those glasses on his way to picking me up in Marina del Rey… but, of course, he never made it. They were murdered around 10:15 pm as the prosecution claimed, NOT 10:35 pm as both the defense and LAPD claim.

@TheTruthHeals I agree with you. Just because he was known to have been a spousal abuser didn't necessarily make him a murderer. Too many inconsistencies on the part of the prosecutions case against Simpson. Just because he ran from the police, didn't make him guilty. I was in high school back then, and it didn't add up, and all these years later it still doesn't for me. People do strange things for strange reasons. Maybe her murder was karma coming back to OJ for years of being a bad husband,? She was murdered in a horrible way, he was being accused of it...and he flipped out? You just never know what goes on in someone's head. The timeline didn't add up against OJ's guilt. The jury made the right decision. People wanna talk ill of the jury, have really no clue what your duties are as a juror. For people who say "he was a batterer...he was guilty"...would not be a good juror. Most people say that. I never knew these people, never met them. I just know what I've read, and I use some common sense and 46 years of living on this planet.

Tom Lange is an Icon. Great show! Edit:Does anyone know that Harvey Levin saw OJ the night before the murders in a limo at Nicoles residence in the back alley and OJ took off when he knew he was being followed. The limo ended up at Rockingham and OJ got out of the limo. Something to this effect. Anymore on that? Harvey told this story and I had never heard this ever. Crazy

Great interview as always. Kato, Tom Lange, Jill Shively, Zoey Tur, Jim Moret, Allan Park, and the others involved in the murders, whose lives changed because of it, belong to a special fraternity of people that 30 years has shaped. Kato is very insightful and reflective in recalling the events surrounding OJ and the murders 30 years ago. Please do a show about Nicole's Akita dog, Kato, who led neighbors to the crime scene. Nicole's parents became his new owners, after Nicole was gone, and he passed away in 2003, or 2004.

An absolutely fascinating show. I want to thank Detective Tom Lange for His Outstanding Service.💙 This is definitely Epic and an Integral Part of History. As someone who has worked and championed for Victims of Domestic Violence for years and Human Trafficking Victims I would like to note what was learned about IPV aka Intimate Partner Violence 30 yesrs on. One thing is Violence Against Women crosses every racial and socio economic line without exception. In My opinion 30 years on awareness of this issue has grown however #Femicide is still going strong sadly. We are trying to educate and prevent these tragedies by enacting stronger Laws against Coercive Control and Misogynist Terrorism. As always this is about Victims and the enormous impact such Crimes have on Loved Ones, Law Enforcement all First Responders and Communities. My Thoughts and Prayers to All who have been impacted by these Crimes.🙏🙏💔💔 #ENDVAWG.💜

@reel-justice interesting information that I’ve never heard. I’d have to go back to review the interview with Zoey in order to refresh my memory if the helicopter was CHP or Duke (OCSD) that discovered the Bronco at the Y. Ascension cemetery is only about 2-1/2 miles from the 5 which would only take seconds to reach by helicopter. 17th/5 isn’t too much further north (+/- 10 mi) and in my opinion, coincides with her story timeline of “flipping the switch” to go to network. My confusion hits with the when’s of who first got cameras on the Bronco because S. Anaheim/Lincoln is north of 17th and, of course, the Y. I don’t know if I have seen the NBC / Dirk footage.

Also the Dirty John case. I used to work in downtown LA and if that girl had come in our office, I would have said, "You want ____ Casting down the hall. You're auditioning for Gidget, right?" And she would have replied, "No, I'm auditioning for zombie killer!" She said enthusiastically, "I used the zombie kill shot!," regarding stabbing Dirty John in the eye. If you haven't heard the story yet, when Christopher Goffard's story was put on the cover of the Sunday Times _____ section, there were 10M downloads of the podcast, read by him, in the next six weeks. (I just looked it up to make sure I'm not exaggerating and it said the podcast has been downloaded 50M times.) They told Walt Disney the reason Pinocchio, Bambi and Fantasia hadn't done as well as Snow White was you have to have a beautiful girl in danger, and with "Sleeping Beauty" Disney rose above teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. But it seems to be the same with Nicole Brown and Terra Newell, the cute little, blond California girl, who speaks with a little Minnie Mouse voice. Nicole should have gone around in a burka and people would have let her go to college and get an interesting job.

I was there. Not kidding, I was on the pathway where the glove was found and it is quite a story. It would be a very long post for me to describe it and most probably would not read a post that long. But this is incredibly important, the PATTERN of the noise Kato described in the trial pounding his fist on the wood witness stand that he heard. It wasn't just one bang. It was THREE separate sounds--- thump...pause, thump, thump. You have to account for how those three bangs occurred. Actually being back there, I'm almost positive how that happened. I wish there was a way I could describe it in a short post but I can't.

Watched a new documentary with Havey Levin's and he has something really interesting in his Documentary about the possibility of AC and OJ switching the two Broncos after the murders.

And about serial killers which seem to be way too many in this world...scary creepy...But I wonder if people who are serial killers join the military to carry out their desires. It's kinda mind bending that soldiers are worshipped for murdering. War is horror. Wonder what Tom thinks about all that since he is working on serial killer book. I feel such guilt that in the seventies I had an encounter with The Golden State Killer in a parking lot and could have helped catch him with description of him and car and more gross stuff, and evidence he handed me to toss for him. I was in my teens and didn't watch the news and didn't understand what was happening. Now that he was caught it all came back and I've been sick since that I could have stopped further torture and murder. 🤮🤮🤮

Thirty years ago - June 17. Watching the NBA finals from Chicago, disappointed that the Bulls weren't a part of them that year. A white Bronco cuts in and we looked at each other in astonishment. OJ did it, we were sure at that point like at no time before during that week, of his declaration of guilt; who flees? Unbelievable how quickly time flies.
