OJ Simpson’s lost interview suggests an ‘accomplice’

AN INTERVIEW in which OJ Simpson hints that an accomplice was involved in the murder of his ex-wife is to be shown on US television next week.

In the interview, the EX-NFL star, who was acquitted of the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson, his former wife, and Ron Goldman, her friend, discusses how he would hypothetically have committed the murders.

The 2006 interview was never released due to public outrage as it centred on Simpson’s controversial book, If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer in which he theorises about the killings.

The pair were found dead outside Ms Brown Simpson’s Los Angeles home on June 12 1994 in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds. Simpson, now aged 70, was charged with both murders but acquitted in 1995.

He was later found responsible in a subsequent civil trial and a judge awarded the rights to his book to Mr Goldman’s family as part of the $38 million wrongful death judgment.

The unseen footage will be shown in a two-hour programme on Mar 11.

According to gossip website TMZ, Simpson is reported to say during the interview: “He went to her house the evening of June 12, 1994, to ‘scare the s--- out of her’.

“He took the Bronco [Simpson’s white van] to her home with his friend, brought a knife and put a hat and gloves on for dramatic effect.”

In a clip released by Fox, Simpson addresses the camera saying: “Forget everything you think you know about that night, because I know the facts better than anyone. This is one story the whole world got wrong.”

Simpson was released from prison in October after serving nine years of a 33-year sentence for an armed robbery in Las Vegas in 2007.
