Nadra Nittle and Candice Norwood at The 19th:

The murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman led to one of the country’s most watched legal cases: The football superstar O.J. Simpson stood accused of killing his ex-wife and Goldman in a trial that sparked widespread debate about the power of celebrity, the inadequacies of the criminal justice system and the significance of his race. Following news of O.J. Simpson’s death on Wednesday from cancer complications, experts revisited how the murders and subsequent trial reshaped discussions of domestic violence — and the ways racial dynamics complicated them.  Some said the country saw a major shift on a subject that had historically been framed as a private matter. “When those murders happened, it really forced folks to take a look at domestic violence, what it really means to families, how dangerous it is,” said Charmine Davis, director of family wellness at the Jenesse Center, a domestic violence prevention and intervention nonprofit in Los Angeles. “It changed the way bills are passed and how politicians, police and the whole system looked at domestic violence.”

Others said the case primarily amplified a harmful reality that continues today in entertainment and beyond. “I don’t think that any inroads have been made in terms of the criminal legal system, because I don’t think it’s possible,” said Myriam Gurba, author of the book “Creep: Accusations and Confessions,” which includes essays about gendered violence. “I know that the criminal legal system does not exist to manufacture justice for battered women. I believe that the purpose of a system is what it does.” The legacy of this case — however inconsistent it may be — advanced national conversations that were rarely visible at such widespread levels.  

Just months after the June 12, 1994, murders of Brown Simpson and Goldman, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The law stands out as the first comprehensive federal legislation designed to stop battery, sexual assault and other forms of violence targeting women. For years, advocates had unsuccessfully pushed to get the law enacted. The awareness Brown Simpson’s murder raised about intimate partner violence helped to get VAWA much-needed backing from lawmakers, supporters of the legislation said. 

More broadly, advocates reported at the time that the number of donations to battered women’s shelters and other women’s organizations rose nationwide. The number of calls to shelters also increased, indicating that more women were comfortable coming forward about their abuse. After her murder, the public learned the extent of the abuse Brown Simpson endured. She stored items in a safe deposit box at a bank: It included three photos of herself with a bruised, swollen face, apology letters from Simpson admitting the abuse, a journal that tracked Simpson’s stalking, and newspaper clips from a night in 1989 when she was hospitalized and the police were called. It appeared to be a trail of evidence laid out in case she was killed. Prosecutors discovered the box six months after Brown Simpson’s murder. 

[...] On October 3, 1995, a Los Angeles jury found him not guilty of murder — a conclusion that outraged Brown Simpson’s supporters due to the evidence pointing at her ex-husband. Fans of Simpson celebrated the verdict. Although he hadn’t played competitive football since 1979 after career highs, including the 1973 Most Valuable Player award as a Buffalo Bill and a 1968 Heisman Trophy as a University of Southern California Trojan, the running back had channeled his fame as an athlete into roles as an actor and sports commentator. This made him relevant to a younger generation. “O.J. Simpson was a character,” said Earl Smith, professor of women and gender studies at the University of Delaware. “He was the first celebrity athlete. Nobody commanded that much attention in terms of getting paid to sell products. Everybody loved him. He had that kind of personality.”

For critics of Simpson and many survivors of gender-based violence, Simpson’s acquittal sent a painful message. Advocates and attorneys have previously said it was clear that some jurors did not understand the connection between domestic violence and Brown Simpson’s murder. Gurba said the outcome of the case and the discussion of the abuse was “instructive” for her as a teenage girl: These taught her that she would not be believed and could also be killed. 

Underlying the virality of the case were the inescapable racial dynamics that shape the U.S. court system and the criminalization of Black men. Simpson being a Black man and Brown Simpson being a White woman evokes associations between Black men and danger to women that have repeated throughout the country’s history. Three years before Simpson’s acquittal, a Los Angeles-area jury found a group of White officers not guilty of assaulting Rodney King, a Black motorist they had been videotaped beating during a police stop. In 1991, a Los Angeles judge gave a Korean-American shopkeeper probation instead of prison time for fatally shooting Black teenager Latasha Harlins in her store. Both of these events intensified the racial tensions that ignited in the 1992 Los Angeles rebellion. 

The O.J. Simpson criminal and civil trials forced Americans to talk about the specter of domestic violence that led to the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAVA).

Griffin Dunne’s statement on the death of OJ Simpson. His father, author and journalist Dominick Dunne, famously covered the trial for Vanity Fair.

The statement reads:

As O.J. shuffles off his mortal coil to spend his first night in Hell, I can't help but wish my father were alive to share the news. The first picture is his look of utter shock at the reading of the not guilty verdict. He is sitting with the Browns and Nicole's family. Covering the trial and its outcome took a terrible toll on him emotionally. The second is when I visited him at O.J.'s 2nd trail in Las Vegas for kidnapping and stealing sports memorabilia shit.I'm there because the day before I heard on the radio that Dad had collapsed in the courtroom and I caught a plane from LA an hour later. He was fine by the time I arrived. If the 2 trials could be put in movie terms, the first one was like the opening of Star Wars. The one in Vegas was like very low budget porno shoot. The defendants were the sleeziest group of con men l ever saw. O.J. wandered the hallways during the break, desperate for someone to talk to. When he saw me he said, "Hey Griffin, love your work!" The reflexive response when an actor tells you this is "love yours too" but since he was also a murderer I was too dumbstruck to say a thing and wandered off. Thanks to Jordan Blossey and @consideritdunnegriffin for finding these pics.

1994-O. J. Simpson murder case

Nicole Brown Simpson (née Brown; May 19, 1959 – June 12, 1994) was the ex-wife of the former professional American football player, O. J. Simpson, to whom she was married from 1985 to 1992. Two years after her divorce from Simpson, Brown was stabbed to death at her Los Angeles home, on June 12, 1994, along with her friend, waiter Ron Goldman  (July 2, 1968 – June 12, 1994).

A Theory on Fred Goldman's Response to the O.J. Simpson Trial

The O.J. Simpson trial was a highly publicized and controversial case that sparked intense debate and emotion. Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, has been a vocal advocate for victims' rights and has spoken publicly about his experiences. However, I believe that Fred Goldman's unwavering conviction that O.J. Simpson is guilty, despite the trial's outcome and subsequent revelations, may be driven by a deeper bias.

Throughout the trial, Marcia Clark's prosecution team presented evidence and accusations that were later debunked by the defense team. Nevertheless, Fred Goldman refused to consider alternative theories or suspects, leading me to wonder if his conviction is rooted in a racial bias. The fact that he continued to assert O.J.'s guilt even after Glen Rogers' confession raises questions about his motivations.

It's important to acknowledge that the trauma and grief of losing a loved one can cloud one's judgment and lead to a strong desire for justice. However, it's equally crucial to consider the possibility that Fred Goldman's refusal to accept the verdict and his persistent hatred towards O.J. may be influenced by racial prejudices.

Fred Goldman's mustache is also an indication of him being a racist, since racist rednecks has had the same style mustache.

In conclusion, while this theory is not meant to be taken as fact, it's essential to engage in open and respectful dialogue about the potential biases that may drive our beliefs and actions. By examining our own perspectives and assumptions, we can work towards a more just and equitable society for all.

Friday Blog: REST

Good Friday everyone. I’d like to start by speaking of the passing of O. J. Simpson yesterday. I start this way because I know it was something on everyone’s mind but difficult to talk about because of the times we are in. However, O. J. was not murdered nor did he commit suicide so the coincidence is purely happenstance.

I’d like to note that, unlike George Zimmerman, O. J. was tried in civil court and lost while Mr. Zimmerman was never tried after the acquittal for his murdering of Travon Martin and that Zimmerman pursued civil litigation against Travon’s family, after he won his criminal case.

To me, this sheds light on the fact that Mr. Simpson was in fact truly “not guilty” of the crime charged against him and in the end was truly a victim of racism and the racist way of going about things in this country.

I believe the “Colombian Necktie” narrative put forth by, now deceased, Atty. Johnnie Cochran and that, more than likely, Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered because of a large outstanding drug debt. I also believe that if he wanted to kill her and Ron out of jealousy he would have done it as soon as he found out.

Now, we have to deal with the legacy of a rich, talented, and successful Black man who was never able to get a fair shake in this “just” land.

Until next time, remember God loves you and so do I.

Some Stories I have from the Instragram page for @consideritdunnegriffin.

STORY 1: Griffin just put out a statement on O.J. Simpson's death from cancer today. You can click the post below to read it: [A link to Dunne's Instagram post is shown]

STORY 2: Here's Dominick and Griffin at the 2008 trial that (finally) put him behind bars, even if temporary and unrelated to O.J.'s killing of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. [Picture shown below]

STORY 3: On a related note, I've been listening to the audiobook version of ANOTHER CITY, NOT MY OWN about the coverage of the infamous 1994 trial. It's both a fascinating and emotional read, with some obvious parallels to Dominique's tragic death and trial that ALSO turned into a media circus and had the killer ultimately get away with.

STORY 4: It's a veeery thinly-veiled roman a clef, with Dominick using the moniker Gus Bailey. Dominick/Gus got so absorbed in the O.J. trial that he forgot to tell his son, Griffin/Grafton, happy birthday!

STORY 5: Now me, personally? I have no stories to tell about where I was during this trial, since I wasn't born until 1995. But I DID grow up hearing stories from my family about it. I inherited a lot of the particulars of this trial as if they were really tasteless hand-me-downs. Everyone I know who lived through that time has a story or twelve.

STORY 6: In a strange and hilarious twist of fate, I now have an interesting story to tell about where I was when I found out OJ died. I was the one who broke the news to Griffin Dunne.

STORY 7: You can listen to the audiobook version of ANOTHER CITY, NOT MY OWN if you have a Spotify Premium subscription. I highly recommend it!

i feel like Ron and Nicole might have eventually ended up dating. like i know they were just friends at the time of the murders but they hadn't known each other very long and Nicole was freshly divorced and just got out of an abusive marriage and probably needed time to heal and just be on her own for a while so they kept it strictly platonic for the time being while still being there for each other. i feel like it would develop into something more if they had just gotten the chance. like a friends to lovers type of scenario. it would be a really sweet story tbh but sadly we will never know.
