Who Murder Nicole Brown Simpson?

Who was really behind the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson? At 12:10 a.m. on June 13,
1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found murdered outside of Nicole's
Bundy Drive condominium in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. Who murdered Nicole Brown
Simpson and what was their reasoning behind it? There are several conspiracy theories that
surround the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson:
1. The serial killer Glen Rogers killed her (Prince).
2. O.J. Simpson son, Jason Simpson, was really behind the killing and O.J was going to take the
fall for him (1).
3. O. J Simpson murdered his wife (1).
There is a lot of reasoning behind each of these conspiracy theories, which one is the truth?
Let’s look at the possibility that O.J Simpson was the one who murdered his own wife, Nicole.
            Nicole Brown Simpson was reportedly a devoted mother. Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister, Tanya, has called slain older sibling a loving mother who was dedicated to her family in the wake of the upcoming miniseries surrounding criminal trial over her 1994 death (Mclaughlin). Brown said Nicole was a hands-on mom who loved spending time with her children, Sydney and Justin, now 30 and 27 (Mclaughlin).
            “She was very hands-on”, her sister said. She just made sure that her kids were having fun and being kids . “She loved those kids so much”, she added (Mclaughlin). “They were her priority”. Brown said that her family was always “hanging out” and spending time with one another. She avoided using nannies and insisted on taking her children to all of their activities, she welcomed family into her home for holiday events. But, however, her marriage was starting to collapse.
            O.J Simpson ended up being abusive towards Nicole Brown Simpson. Friends and relatives would later recount seeing bruises on Nicole’s body (Nicole Brown Simpson Biography). There was an incident at the 1989 New Year’s Eve party in which the former football player allegedly threated to kill her ( Nicole Brown Simpson Biography). He pleaded no contest to spousal battery. In 1992, Nicole Brown Simpson filed for divorce from her husband, O.J Simpson. This probably enraged him. This could be the event that finally set him off.
One conspiracy theory is Glen Rodgers killed Nicole Brown Simpson. Glen Edward Rogers (born July 15, 1962), also known as "The Cross Country Killer" or "The Casanova Killer", is an American serial killer convicted of two murders and a suspect in several others throughout the United States that began on September 28, 1995 (Glen Edward Rogers). Glen Rogers, who has been sentenced to death for murdering women in Florida and California. "I'm absolutely certain that my brother Glen killed Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman," said Clay Rogers, who narrated the film "My Brother the Serial Killer," which will debut on the Investigation Discovery channel (1). "I know my brother did it because I've seen proof that he was there." "Glen told me, when he called, 'Guess who I'm partying with? Nicole Simpson,'" Rogers said, describing a call he said happened just a few days before the killings (1). "Actually, what he told me, he says, 'They got money, they're well off and I'm taking her down.'"(1)
Apparently there was a gold pin off Nicole Brown Simpson that Glen Rogers mailed to his mother and she even wore it to his murder trials.
Criminal profiler Anthony Meoli, who exchanged dozens of letters with Glen Rogers and visited him on death row, said Rogers explained to him that O.J. Simpson had hired him to break into his ex-wife's condo to steal diamond earrings he had given her (1).
 Apparently Simpson told him where the spare key was everything. O.J Simpson was waiting outside to see Roger’s work. There were footprints of O.J rare shoes at the crime scene.
"Rogers is on death row in Florida and California. If he's close to execution in Florida, he may be hoping that California will bring him back here which would postpone the execution," Dixon said (1). Rogers was a descent looking guy that would go to bar and pick up women, then he would kill them.  Nicole Brown Simpson crime doesn’t match Glen Rogers crimes.
The next theory is that his son, Jason Simpson, is the one who really killed Nicole Brown Simpson and O.J Simpson was going to take the blame. There even a book called “O.J Is Innocent and I Can Prove It”, by William C. Dear. At the crime scene, Nicole’s friend, Ron Goldman was also murder with Nicole Brown Simpson. Ron Goldman hands looked like he fought for his life, but there was nothing on O.J. Simpson, all he has was a small cut on his knuckles.  Jason Simpson also had experience assaulting people with deadly weapons.
Jason had almost killed an ex-girlfriend with a knife, assaulted another girlfriend and came after his boss with a kitchen knife (Littal). He was trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as field knife training while attending the Army and Navy Academy (Littal). Jason had been diagnosed with intermittent rage disorder which is commonly known as jekyll and hyde syndrome (Littal). The physical evidence matches Jason more than OJ.
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 (Littal). There were many finger prints at the crime scene and none of them matched O.J. They never got Jason fingerprints at the time. OJ hired a criminal defense lawyer for Jason four days after the murder, when OJ at the time was the only suspect.

The conspiracy theory that we all believe happened, O.J Simpson killed his own ex-wife. There was so much evidence and reasoning against him. In October 1995, OJ Simpson was acquitted in one of the most sensational murder trials of the 20th century. Here some of the reasoning why everyone thinks he is guilty. When Simpson was going to be questioned about the murders, he tried to make an escape in Ford Bronco. He was followed by 20 police cars in a police chase. The Ford Bronco was driven by Al Cowlings while O.J Simpson was threating him with a gun to the head.
Bloody footprints found at the scene matched OJ’s rare size 12 Bruno Magli shoes. Simpson denied ever owning the footwear but investigators subsequently uncovered multiple photographs showing him wearing the same shoes (OJ Simpson: A Killer in the Family) There even a documentary about O.J murder case and he founded not guilty, but he was found guilty in civil trial.
So who was really behind the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson? The serial killer Glen Rogers killed her, O.J Simpson son, Jason Simpson, was really behind the killing or did O. J murder his own wife? I believe O. J Simpson really did murder his wife on June 13,1994. He may have not been found guilty on October 3,1995 at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, but in civil court he was found liable for a wrongful death of Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. Simpson was order to pay a total of 33.5 million to the two families. The evidence all leads to him like his footprint was found in the victim’s blood. Why would you write a suicidal note and run from the cops? That just puts guilty on your forehead. When the jury pronounced him not guilty, he just had the biggest smile on his face. It was truly sad seeing Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson start crying when the jury read not guilty. I truly believe that Orenthal James Simpson murder his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.
