Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death outside of Nicole's home in Brentwood, California. The murders occurred on June 12, 1994. Evidence was collected, (improperly, in my opinion), and the ex husband of Nicole, OJ Simpson, was charged with the murders. He did not turn himself in, and went on a low speed chase, which I recall watching as a kid. (A lady that lived in our apartment complex had it on her tv, and we were visiting with her that day. Of course, it meant nothing to me as a kid, but it is interesting that I was alive and saw that on tv and now it is a famous case.) Unfortunately, OJ Simpson was acquitted based on the evidence.

I have no doubts what so ever that he killed these two people. I read his book If I Did It. There is no If. There were a lot of factors that led to his acquittal, and being innocent was certainly not one. I am glad that any proceeds from that book sale go to the victims and not to his sorry self.

I picked this book up at my local library on a whim. I thought it would be interesting to read some behind the scenes information about this trial and the case. I was just talking with my sister the other night about the Goldman's, since they are in the news for suing OJ Simpson right now. The book really told a lot about how Marcia Clark was scrutinized by the press, which I think was violently unfair and irrelevant. She really presented the case facts and timeline in a way that wasn't boring as all get out. I think this book is an important read for those who are interested in this case.
