News about Ronald Goldman

OJ Simpson murder trial witness Brian 'Kato' Kaelin has revealed Barbara Walters' reaction when the NFL star was found not guilty in his 1995 murder trial. Kaelin, 65, found fast fame for his role as Simpson's houseguest amid the international publicity surrounding the murders of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, followed by the infamous low-speed chase and subsequent double murder trial, which he was a witness in.

OJ Simpson's brain will not be donated for research, according to a family spokesperson.  The body of the killer and former NFL player - who died Wednesday at the age of 76 - is now set to be cremated in Las Vegas on Tuesday, a representative for his estate said. There have been repeated requests by scientists for ex-running back Simpson's brain to be donated for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) research, but the family have reportedly refused with a 'hard no'.

Many African Americans remember the triumphant cheers as OJ Simpson's historic not-guilty verdict was read out on October 3, 1995. For the case, as one commentator wrote at the time, was no longer about the slit throats of Nicole Brown Simpsons and Ronald Goldman. It was about race. And, so it has been argued, it was Simpson's 'dream team' of defense lawyers who made it so. Faced with overwhelming evidence suggesting the football star murdered his ex-wife and friend, they put America and its history of institutional racism on the stand instead.

Sara, 46, was discussing Simpson's 1995 murder trial and said: 'There were innocent people involved here and I'd like to take a moment to mention them. Nicole brown and Ronald Goldman were brutally killed and murdered and I think that the legal system failed Nicole over and over again. She had called 911 nine times, the crap beaten out of her, bloody in bushes and they always released her domestic abuser.'

Not only is the NFL conspicuously silent about OJ Simpson's passing, but his alma mater has similarly resisted calls to address the scandalized running back's death this week. Southern California has a copy of Simpson's Heisman Trophy at the campus' Heritage Hall, and his jersey remains retired by the Trojans in recognition of his two remarkable seasons in the USC backfield. What's more, his No. 32 is prominently displayed at every home football game on the banners that drape the peristyle steps of the venerable Coliseum. But when Simpson's death from prostate cancer at 76 in Las Vegas was announced Thursday, his school made no public acknowledgement of it.

OJ Simpson's former NBC co-host Bob Costas revealed the 'awkward' joke the accused murder made during a 1994 jail visit ahead of his infamous trial for the murders of Niccole Brown and Ronald Goldman. Appearing on NBC's Today Show on Friday, a day after Simpson died from cancer, Costas recalled visiting his long-time colleague at an LA jail, where the two were separated by a pane of glass. Costas happened to have a bandaged cut on his hand at the time of the visit, which caught Simpson's eye as the two men greeted each other by pressing their palms against the glass partition. 'When I put [my hand] up there, and he saw the bandage and a little drop of blood, he said, 'Wait a minute, wait a minute. You did it,' Costas said, remembering his surprise.

The former American football star and actor OJ Simpson, who yesterday died aged 76 from cancer, made history for his role at the center of the 'trial of the century'. The June 12, 1994, killings of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman grabbed the attention of people worldwide, as viewers closely watched the chaotic trial unravel. But backed by his 'dream team' of lawyers, the icon, who had been accused of double murder in 1994 emerged triumphant when the grueling case came to a dramatic end the following year. On October 3, 1995, nearly 150million people watched live the verdict as Simpson was found not guilty of the double murder, but the case still casts a long shadow. Simpson's death has brought renewed attention to the case and the incredible cast of lawyers he had at his side throughout the ordeal.

Simpson, who'd been a sickly child, over the odds and became one of the greatest running backs in the history of college and then professional football. He was chosen first in the draft by the Buffalo Bills, for whom he played nine seasons, before wrapping up his career with the San Francisco 49ers. In 1995, Simpson was cleared by a Los Angeles jury for the murders of his ex-wife and her friend in what was dubbed 'the trial of the century.'

OJ Simpson died at age 76 from prostate cancer on Wednesday, April 10 - almost 30 years on from the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman. The former football player was surrounded by his children and grandchildren when he passed away - 29 years after he was famously acquitted in the murders following 'the trial of the century.' Before the scandal, Simpson was hailed as one of the greatest running backs in NFL history before turning to acting.

In a nearly two-minute video he posted ahead of the Super Bowl , the controversial superstar addressed those who had inquired about his health in recent weeks. In February, it was revealed that Simpson had prostate cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy treatments in Las Vegas. 'Thank you to all the people who reached out to me. My health is good,' he said in the video filmed by a pool.

O.J. Simpson has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is currently receiving chemotherapy therapy, according to the newspaper. The former NFL star was also found to be in hospice care, just weeks after being seen frail in Las Vegas, but he has since taken to social media to deny this. In a clip, he can be seen sitting in his car, telling the camera: 'Hospice?Hospice? I'm not sure who posted it out there because the media is so wrong!'

O.J. In a recent podcast appearance discussing whether males should open up to women, Simpson made a bizarre joke about refusing to reveal himself. Simpson, 76, was a participant on the 'It Is What It Is Talk' podcast, hosted by American rappers Cam'ron and Mase, where they responded to Shaquille O'Neal's comment that women should not open to women because it could be used against them. Simpson was asked his thoughts on NBA legend O'Neal's words and went in a strange direction.

On the night of June 7, 2021, the jury was summoned by Murdaugh's defense team to see where Maggie, 52, and Paul, 22, were killed at the sprawling 1,800 acre estate in Moselle, South Carolina. Family possessions that had been in full view of the jury as if frozen in time for the first two years were missing in photos taken two weeks ago. Photographers were allowed to photograph photographers shortly after the jury adjourned. They include a plant pot painted with the word 'Buster,' presumably an arts and crafts project of Murdaugh's surviving son when he was a youth. Maggie was parked outside the front lawn with an abandoned bike that she would ride from the main house to visit her beloved dogs at the kennels. The bike is free of rust that you would expect to see if it hadn't been on display since 2021.

Maggie, 52, and his son Paul, 22, were shot dead on the hunting estate in Moselle on the night of June 7, 2021, according to a eerie video. On the porch, a plant pot painted with the name 'Buster' and a snowman standing on a table between two rocking chairs were also included. Maggie was parked outside the front yard with an abandoned bicycle, which she would ride from the main house to visit her favorite dogs at the kennels. In a rare rematch to the OJ Simpson trial, the jury visited the sprawling 1,800-acre estate at the request of Murdaugh's defense attorneys.

The disgraced civil scion, 54, suffered from a "gathering storm" of financial turmoil that led him to the deaths of Maggie and Paul at the family's hunting estate in Moselle, South Carolina, on June 7, 2021. Creighton Waters said the disgraced law scion, 54, faced a "gathering storm" of financial ruin that had compelled him to murder Maggie and Paul. On the day of the murders, Murdaugh had been confronted with a $792,000 bill that had gone'missing' from his law firm. More than $100 million had been loo looved from clients and partners. He was scheduled in court for a hearing in the case involving his son's alcoholic boat crash that killed a teen girl two years ago three days after the shootings. Waters continued to say that Murdaugh's 20-year opioid use was spiraling, his heroin use 'increased' in March, and that jurors were warned that withdrawals would'revering' make him do something, nothing to get rid of them.' However, the prosecutor stated that this was one of Murdaugh's many lies, and that it was 'not survivable' to take the 2,000 mg, about 67 pills worth, which he claimed to be taking. Experts told DailyMail.com that it is possible to take that much without it being harmful, as long as the drug user has a high tolerance.

The half-hour ride to the estate in Moselle, South Carolina, will be followed by closing arguments before the jury is allowed to hear their verdict at the Colleton County courthouse in Walterboro. Jury visits to the crime scene are relatively rare, but they have occurred in a number of other high-profile cases, including the 1995 murder trial of O.J. Simpson. The tour is sponsored by Murdaugh's defense lawyers, who told the judge that the trip will show jurors how small the feed room (where Paul was killed) is and find its position in relation to Maggie's body. Judge Clifton Newman informed jurors that he and lawyers from both camps would be there. He told the jury that they are not allowed to discuss with each other or question anyone on the scene. 'If you have any questions, you should only ask me,' the judge said.
