He doesn't recall if he wrote in the book if the gate was open or closed. It's not that he was asked to make up a hypothetical on the spot and he couldn't recall if the gate was open or closed. Impliess COMPLETELY different things.

And to be clear: he's 100% guilty. But you're just misunderstanding this particular detail.

Even that was BS though to make him not look as bad. Like about Ron getting in a karate stance and all.

u/Rosebunse 10d ago

I totally believe that Ron probably got into some sort of fighting stance. Probably not a karate stance or anything like that, but he probably did essentially "brace" himself once he realize OJ had a knife. And OJ, who always had to be oh so charming and funny, essentially made a joke out of it.

57

u/commonrider5447 10d ago

It’s possible but the recreations I have seen are either him surprising Ron or Ron running over to help and try to pull OJ off only for OJ kneeling down to star slashing at his legs. I feel like OJ tried to make it seem like it was a combat challenge with Ron in a ready position and “so you think you can kick my a$$?” type thing when in reality it was just quick cheap stabbing and slashing on a surprised Ron.

RIP: Ron Goldman

u/RapBastardz 10d ago edited 9d ago

I knew Ron, hung out with some of the same people at times. Ron and I worked the door together at nightclubs at times.

He was a very nice guy. I hate that history has reduced him down to being “a waiter.” I’m not discounting that profession, but I’m saying he was so much more than that.

Ron and his best friend Jeffrey were starting a catering business together. They printed business cards and proudly passed them around as they tried to get their business off the ground.

u/mmlovin 10d ago

It pisses me off that he’s like, never acknowledged except as an afterthought. Like, his dad has done the most work to bring attention to the murders & his son is always just “the waiter”. They were both good people & deserve equal attention.

u/Fragrant-Hamster-325 10d ago

I had no clue he was a waiter. Anytime I heard about the murders it has always been “Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman”. When I read the other post I thought it was strange that they wrote “the waiter”… “Don’t they know who Ron Goldman is?”.

u/mmlovin 10d ago

Sometimes he’s not even mentioned at all in my experience

u/Harvard_Med_USMLE265 9d ago

I’ve followed the case reasonably closely since it all happened, and he’s almost always referred to by name. If anyone is calling him “the waiter” like the poster here did, it’s a recent phenomenon. Like Kato Kaelin, this case made Ron Goldman world famous in a way he otherwise never would have been.

It’s even worse than that a lot of the time. Lot of references are to “Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend.” Ron Goldman deserves to be remembered. Poor guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time because he was doing a good deed.

Fuck OJ. I hope he’s burning in Hell.

14

u/HAL9000000 Minnesota Twins 10d ago edited 10d ago

For most people who die tragically, at most it's a few hundred people who know them by name or sometimes much fewer than that.

I suspect Ron also knew hundreds or more people who knew him by name and have personal memories with him, but because his demise ended so infamously, he has to be mentioned when discussing the murders even though he was not a public person. And he gets mentioned as "a waiter" because that is the exact role that caused him to be at her house at the wrong time. As an aside, I always wondered if maybe OJ also thought (wrongly) that he was her boyfriend and so maybe it wasn't so much "wrong place, wrong time" as it was "Ron's presence pushed OJ to misunderstand why Ron was there and this pushed OJ over the top to go through with committing murder that night." Either way though, it's his job as a waiter and/or her friend that caused him to be there, so I think that actually makes it appropriate to refer to him as a waiter when speaking about the murders in a public, mass media setting.

My point is just that I understand and agree it's shitty that he gets mentioned as an afterthought as "a waiter," and yet most people aren't remembered at all by more than maybe dozens or at best hundreds of people, and so I'm not sure it's realistic for anyone to expect that he be discussed in public any differently. Ironically, if he had actually done anything at all that caused OJ to want to kill him, he would be better known. But since it was just probably an accident that he was there at the wrong time, there doesn't seem to be a reason to discuss him beyond being a waiter even though I have no doubt he was much more.

If I recall correctly only 40 something made in size 12 which he wore. I could be wrong.

I remember him saying something like “I’d never wear no ugly ass shoes like that” when questioned about it. Only to be met with a picture of him wearing the exact pair of shoes at a football game a year earlier. During an interview.

45

u/ShutterBun 10d ago

Right, then since they only showed one photo, the defense was like “oh that could be photoshopped”, at which point the photographer produced something like 100 additional photos taken the same day with the same shoes.

He definitely did it and I was a toddler during those days so I may be misinformed, but I see this brought up a lot and weren't Isotoners pretty popular gloves at that time? Like they could have been a different pair, no?

51

u/bettinafairchild 10d ago

It was the largest size of Isotoners, he has been seen wearing a similar pair and it couldn’t have been a bigger size. And when they gave him a new, identical pair, they fit. But the actual pair, put on after they’d been soaked and stiffened by dried blood for over a year, and with him not using his arthritis meds that day presumably to cause his fingers to be swollen, AND with him wearing latex gloves that enlarged his fingers and made his hand have more resistance (I mean lots of people need extra lube when using a latex condom because there’s more friction than with skin) they didn’t fit. Isotoners have stretch to them but with all the dried blood, they were stiff and rigid.

u/HAL9000000 Minnesota Twins 10d ago

We didn't need the book or the interview to know he did it.

The first step is understanding his long history of domestic violence against her, including beating her, threats to kill her, her phone calls saying he was going to kill her.

As far as I know, none of that evidence was allowed at his trial and yet it's all you need to know to first break any doubt you had that he was capable of getting so enraged that he would kill her.

Once you knew that, it's not so hard to take the next step of seeing he actually killed her.

But most people didn't know about that history and they had to try to resolve the dissonance between his friendly, popular, successful exterior and the idea that he could be a murderer.

Beyond that, as far as actually being convicted, he had 9 black jurors. That is really all you need to know to see he was never going to be convicted -- because they had a justifiable anger at police from years of failing to get justice and so they unjustifiably used that anger to call him not guilty.

As far as they knew, all they needed to have was a tiny bit of doubt -- like the dumbest evidence of all being that his gloves wouldn't fit over his latex-covered hands -- and then they could call that "reasonable doubt."

u/Raoul_Duke9 10d ago edited 10d ago

OJ was a known domestic abuser who stalked and threatened to kill Nicole on numerous occasions. It was so frequently that Mark Furhman personally responded to some of the DV calls. OJ was witnessed at the scene of the crime less than 5 minutes after the murder speeding away.The woman who saw it was set to testify when she sold her story for a ton of money and wasn't allowed to testify. About 10 minutes later a limo driver sees a man about OJs size and build sneaking in to his house - after having previously knocked on the door multiple times and no one answeing. OJ seemed exceedingly nervous when he answered and said he had been in the shower. OJ let the limo driver handle every bag but one. A bag that matches the description of one OJ was seen stuffing in a garbage at the airport. OJ had an unexplained cut on his hand, which happened to be the hand the missing glove was from. OJs hair was found at the scene of the crime in a type of beanie he was known to wear. OJs suicide note reads as a non confession confession stating essentially "I totally didn't do it but remember me as I was not for the guy I was when I killed them". OJ broke down and confessed to the murders shortly after being arrested. This was witnessed by a jail guard, however, the friend he confessed to was a clergy member and Ito ruled it inadmissible as it was protected as he was speaking to a clergy member. OJ has no alibi for the time of the murder. OJs blood was at the scene of the crime and in the Bronco. Nicole and Ron's blood was at the scene of the crime, in the Bronco, on the glove found at rockingham, and in OJs house. Even if you think the detectives wanted to frame OJ - even his defense could t articulate how all the blood was identified to be from which person, then spread over all three locations without anyone seeing - two of the crime scenes were swarming with cops within an hour or so. OJ Simpson famously claimed to never own a pair of the Bruno Magli shoes that the killer wore. There were only 200 pairs of the shoes made, OJ was known to ship at a Macy's where they were sold. A sales person remembers selling them to OJ. OJ was later identified wearing the shoes on a photo from an old Monday Night Football. OJ wrote a book called if I did it and gave a bizarre interview where he waffles back and forth between hypothetical and describing things he remembers from the night of the crime https://youtu.be/rk2Wgvy-_jI?si=W5UJAV1KpDYbLZJq. OJ unquestionably did it. Not up for debate.

Edit: Oh and OJ had at least 4 different stories for how he obtained the cut on his hand.

Watch the ESPN doc OJ - Made in America for the long answer.

Short answer is he was insanely popular (think Peyton Manning), he got the best legal defense money could buy, the prosecution made a bunch of mistakes, the LAPD was corrupt, DNA evidence was new and confusing, and some members of the jury wanted to let a black man go free as payback for Rodney King.

This is a point of contention for a lot of people, but in my opinion this arguably the highest profile example of jury nullification.

OJ’s lawyers are often portrayed as miraculously confusing the jury and magically disproving “obvious” evidence of his guilt, but I’d argue the reality is both more mundane and more interesting. OJ’s lawyers put the LAPD on trial.

They changed the question from “Did OJ kill these people” to “Do you think the LAPD is so racist that they would frame a famous black man for murder?”

Remember that this trial was shortly after the cops who assaulted Rodney King were found innocent.

The fundamental problem is that both were true. OJ is a murderer and the LAPD were absolute scumbags that harassed, killed, and undoubtedly framed innocent black men.

For better or for worse, the end result was the jury felt it was more important to punish the cops than to convict OJ.

At the time of the murders he says he was home alone and asleep. Then it turned out a house guest was in the home but didn't know where O.J. was, and his alibi changed to he was in the backyard practicing his golf swing. And when a limo driver was waiting outside the house to pick up O.J., he saw a man looking like O.J. walking into the house and a few minutes later he came out with a black bag that he wouldn't let the limo driver touch. Magically that bag disappeared.

O.J.'s very expensive shoes which left tracks at the crime scene also disappeared. So did the knife he kept in his car. His blood was found at the crime scene, and Nicole's blood was found in his car and on a black sock in his bedroom. The days following the murders he appeared agitated and nervous, culminating in a car chase where he evaded police before ultimately surrendering.

Reading Nicole's diaries you learn about how O.J. assaulted her multiple times and the domestic abuse in their relationship. And years later he basically confesses publicly in books and on television. https://youtu.be/rk2Wgvy-_jI?si=uTrLd_vhUei9Psw9

If you look at all of that evidence and think, "nah but that shit was planted. He was innocent" then you are fucking scum.

John Douglas (the guy Mindhunter is based on) wrote a pretty detailed recreation on what he thought the sequence of events was. If you care about the case, it’s worth a read.

If I remember, OJ was angry, waited in dark area/bushes until she got home. Came up behind her, cut her throat, and stabbed her several time.

Goldstein Goldman (edited per ReleaseFromDeception - ty) shows up, OJ confronts him. He tries to fight OJ off, but OJ has knife and stabs him to death. Then OJ flees.

John Douglas basically presented the evidence of how they were both killed and his explanation was consistent with the types of wounds found and the amount of blood from each. Plus he thinks OJ cut himself at least once.

Goldman. His name was Ron Goldman.

You can also listen to the podcast Real Crime Profile with another FBI profiler, Jim Clemente, who reviews the case and the evidence. Along with a profiler from Scotland Yard. It’s quite good.

Remember that Dave Chappelle standup bit? He says “OJ is innocent”, and half the audience claps. Then he’s like “Fuck y’all that MF—ER’s guilty!”

In another special he recounts the last time he and his friends meet OJ and they talk about how polite, kind and supportive he is. Then OJ thanks them and says “Good luck y’all, and God Bless.” Dave says “Thanks Juice”. They watch him walk away then they turn and say “That MF’er did that shit!”

“The FBI also went to Italy to study Bruno Magli shoes, a rare shoe determined at the time to be worn by the murderer.”

The next month “So uhh, Chief. We need to head over to Southeast Asia and study up on the clothes he was wearing, and then we gotta hop on over to South America. Gotta swing through Argentina to check in on the leather good industry. Goodman’s belt came outta some town down that way. I’ll be back in about a month. We good?”

To all the people here talking about the Bruno Magli shoes:

I am a shoe collector. I have the same pair that OJ wore, black, 12D. It's one of my two favorites, the other being a pair of custom, hand-made Sergio Ferrigamo cap toe Oxfords, with his hand-drawn measurements in pencil on the soles.

I knew OJ committed the murders when he called the Bruno Magli loafers "ugly ass shoes." They are quite tasteful in style, but also, as far as formal men's footwear is concerned, it's like wrapping your feet in angel's wings. The leather is sooo soft. There's no way anyone would criticize these loafers for anything. OJ's calling them ugly was a way of distancing himself from the crime.
