Nicole Brown Simpson By Marissa Martinez



    Nicole Brown Simpson was married to O.J. Simpson, a former NFL football player. Nicole was found murdered in Los Angeles California on June 12, 1994. The case of her death has been going on for decades still no one has been proven guilty. There’s many conspiracy theories on who murdered Nicole. and what was the motive. We will explore two theories; 1. Did her husband O.J Simpson do it? 2. Did O.J Simpson oldest son have a helping hand in the tragic event?
     Just like many relationship there’s bad and good days. In particularly, Nicole had many bad days with ex-husband O.J. Simpson. O.J. was loved by many people, and no one knew what was happening behind closed doors. There were allegations of the police visiting the Simpson’s home couple of times. The reports were made by Nicole stating O.J. was being abusive and out of control (Flynn 1). He was never arrested to the complaints of being abusive, “ You never do anything about him. You talk to him and then leave ”(1).

   Nicole relationship with husband O.J. was kept in private. Nicole’s close friends at the time did not know of her abusive relationship. Friends and relatives would later see Nicole with unusual bruises on her body (“ Nicole Brown Simpson Biography “ 1). Nicole encountered numerous incidents leading up to the New Year’s Eve party (1). She was beaten so badly that she had to be hospitalized and told the police officers O.J. had threatened to kill her (1) . This time the police arrested O.J., but he was later not charged with spousal abuse (1). O.J. had to see counseling with a psychiatrist of his own choice (1).  Nicole was taking action by documenting the abuse with photos of bruises and marks on her body (1).
    O.J. was not only abusive in their marriage but also verbally abusive (Flynn 1).Nicole had a diary where she wrote about her marriage with husband O.J. . In her diary, she writes O.J. called her a “fat ass” while being pregnant and told her to get an abortion (Romper 1).  She also writes about how O.J. had beaten her once during sex (1). O.J. smashed Nicole’s windshield with a baseball bat trying to scare her (Johnson 1). Nicole was in a abusive relationship for seven years with ex-husband O.J. Simpson. As time went by the beatings got worse and their marriage fell apart.
       Nicole always wanted kids and a family with O.J. after they got married. She had two kids, Sydney and Justin Simpson with husband O.J. Simpson (O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession). Nicole’s two kids are three years apart from each other Sydney is the oldest then Justin the youngest (Nicole Brown Simpson Biography 1).
    Nicole was reportedly a devoted mother to her two kids (Nicole brown Simpson Biography 1). Nicole avoid having nannies and much rather raise her kids on her own (1). Nicole first child, Sydney, was involved in dancing, and her son, Justin, was involved in karate (1). She enjoyed taking her kids to the their lessons and practices (Nicole Brown Simpson Biography 1). Nicole welcomed family into her home for holidays and parties events (1). Nicole would do anything for her children and wanted to see them grow up (O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession). O.J. believed that Nicole was “ too attentive with the kids “ and had no time for him (1). She payed more attention to the kids lives than she did to her own marriage (1). When Nicole and O.J. had events or parties to attend, they called family members or a babysitter to watch them (1). Nicole would always call to check on the kids and see how they were doing (1). O.J. got annoyed that Nicole worried so much about the kids that they barely had a good time out (1). Any mother would know the love you have for your child is unconditional. Nicole loved her kids unconditionally and enduringly. She was a great and loving mother to her two kids (O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession).


   In the Nicole Brown Simpson Case there are two conspiracy theories as to who commited the crime. One of the two theories and most talked about is that Nicole’s ex-husband, O.J. Simpson, had killed her. The other theory is O.J. Simpson’s oldest son, Jason Simpson, had a helping hand in the event.
        The most talked about theory is O.J. Simpson killed Nicole. This case is referred to “the trial of the century”.O.J. met Nicole when she was just eighteen and working as a waitress at a private club in Beverly Hills (“O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession”).At the time they met Simpson was thirty and still married to his first wife, Marguerite L. Whitley (“O.J. Simpson Biography”1). Marguerite and O.J. had three children together: Arnelle, Jason, and Aaren (1). Aaren died one month before her second birthday due to drowning in a pool in 1977 (1). O.J. and Marguerite later divorced in 1979 (1). O.J. married again in 1985 after dating Nicole for eight years (1).
         The Simpsons seemed to be the picture perfect family to the world and their friends, but soon the truth would emerge. Their relationship behind close doors was an ugly secret Nicole hid but eventually came out with the truth. Nicole kept a diary to document the abusive marriage with O.J. Simpson(“Shocking Evidence Details Abuse”… 1). In the diary, she talked about numerous times she had encountered beatings. Nicole filed for a divorce in 1992 (1). O.J. was upset with the idea of getting a divorce and was not for it (1). Simpson made a threat to Nicole to cut off the heads of  her boyfriends if he caught them driving his cars (1). Although the couple divorced they stayed in contact with each other for their kids (“O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession”). O.J. and Nicole started to date other people but decided to get back together (1). O.J. and Nicole’s relationship was on and off for a year (1). Nicole was terrified of O.J. and what he might do to her; there are allegations that O.J. would stalk Nicole (1).Deputy District Attorney, Lydia Bodin, said that prosecutors learned that Nicole had contacted a shelter for battered women on June 7, 1994, five days before she was murdered saying that she was being stalked by Simpson (“Shocking Evidence Details Abuse”… 1).“She called because she was afraid, and she had reason to be afraid,” Bodin said (1).
          O.J. was an extremely jealous and possessive man because tried to control Nicole ( Noble 1). On the day of the horrific event that would change everything ,Nicole and O.J. went to their daughter’s dance recital (1). The family had decided to go get dinner at the Mezzaluna and invited O.J. to tag along (1). O.J. did not attend the dinner with the rest of the family (1). On June 12, 1994, Nicole was found dead alongside her friend Ron Goldman (Malnic and Ferrel 1). Nicole was thirty-five years old and Ron Goldman was twenty-five years old when they were found dead(1).The two were brutally stabbed multiple times(“Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman”1). The police first suspected O.J. Simpson(1).O.J. was the main suspect, yet was nowhere to be found. The police finally found of him in Chicago (1). O.J. was there at an event held by Hertz; were O.J. spoke as a spokesman (1). In article, “Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman Murdered“ there was evidence found to connect O.J. to the murder of his ex-wife:
The evidence against Simpson was extensive: His blood was found at the murder scene; blood,   hair, and fibers from Brown and Goldman were found in Simpson’s car and at his home; one of his gloves was also found in Brown’s home, the other outside his own house; and bloody shoeprints found at the scene matched those of shoes owned by Simpson. (1)
These evidences indicate O.J. had something to do with the killing.
Although he had agreed to turn himself in to the police (“Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman Murdered” 1). O.J. had escaped with friend A.C. Cowlings in his white Ford Bronco on June 17 (1). He was carrying his passport and $8,750 in cash (1). O.J.’s car was spotted that afternoon, but he refused to surrender immediately (1). He threatened to kill himself and went on a low-speed chase through the freeways of Los Angeles as the entire nation watched on television (1). Eventually, O.J. gave himself up at his home in Brentwood, Los Angeles (1). The question that was on everyone’s mind  “ Why run away if you didn’t commit the crime? “.  Years later, after the trial, O.J. published his first book “ If I Did It “. In the book O.J. talks about if he had committed the crime and what might have happened that day on June 12, 1994. The book is, of course, hypothetical as O.J. explain in the interview several times(O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession 1). In the interview, O.J. gives details as if he were really there that day. O.J. explained everything to make perfect sense and how he would have killed them.

       The last but most overlooked theory, was that Jason Simpson O.J.’s oldest son help kill Nicole. Jason was never brought in for questioning and never considered a suspect to the case (Flynn 1). Jason at the time of the murdered was 24 years old with the two were brutally killed (1). Jason was diagnosed with intermittent rage disorder (1).Jason was prescribed with Depakote to help control the outbreaks (1). Jason also had a history of suicide attempts and almost killed a former girlfriend with a knife out of rage ( 1 ).He was trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as field knife training also attended the Army and Navy Academy (Littal 2). Jason knows how to use a knife and knows the type of knife to use. O.J. on the other hand did not have the same background as Jason did.
       Jason was unstable, known to blackout and hear voices at times (3). He was hospitalized several times and stop taking his medication at the time of the murder (3). O.J. was the main suspect but hired a criminal defense lawyer for Jason four days after the murder (5). In a recent article  5 Reasons Why OJ’s Son Jason Likely Killed Nicole & Ron Goldman Jason did not have a reliable alibi for June 12, 1994:
No one knows where Jason was during the time of the killings. His time card from his place of employment was handwritten even though the automatic machine was working. He was upset that Nicole didn’t come to his restaurant the day of the murder and by all accounts he had a love-hate relationship with his step-mother. (5)
Jason was not asked for an alibi but could not give one if questioned.
    In the interview with O.J. Simpson he talks about his book “ If I Did It “. He explained hypothetically what happened the night Nicole and Ron were murdered. He states that he had someone with him named Charlie when he went over to Nicole’s condo (O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession 1).O.J. and Charlie had a knife with them when they went over to Nicole’s (1).According to an article “ BSO A UNIQUE TAKE ON SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT“ evidence were found at the crime scene that traces back to him:
The cops found a knit cap with hairs from a black male and a dog. OJ didn’t have a dog and didn’t wear knit hats, but Jason had a dog and wore knit hats often. DNA was found under Nicole’s fingernails that didn’t match OJ’s, but they never tested it against Jason’s DNA. (4)
This theory suggest Charlie could have actual been Jason Simpson.
    Nicole Brown Simpson was found murdered in Los Angeles california on June 12,1994. There’s two theories to who murdered Nicole; 1. Did O.J. Simpson Nicole’s ex-husband do it? 2. Did Jason Simpson, O.J. oldest son have a helping hand in the event? The best theory to who killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman the night on June 12,1994 is ex-husband O.J. Simpson. The case is considered closed.
