Here is how I think OJ did it


OJ killed Nicole and Ron by accident. He didn't mean to do it. He went to Nicole's to confront her then he told her he didn't want her bringing other home to screw around their children. Nicole told him Go *beep* himself. He lost it and hit her. Ron was trying to defend Nicole and he ended up getting killed too. OJ just didn't know his own strength and Nicole is a little thing. He panicked. Hence, the Great White Bronco chase. He was scared of losing everything and his kids so he pleaded Not Guilty.

I respectfully and totally disagree Apple. I believe he premeditated the whole thing. Think about it - why bother with Kato? Why take the bentley instead of the Bronco to McDonalds? very simple IMO, Kato was used for an alibi and the Bronco was equipped with the knife and change of clothes. So, I believe he completely planned on killing Nicole. ROn Goldman on the other hand- he was an unexpected visitor to the scene. I believe Nicole was knocked out (not dead yet) when goldman showed up. I think OJ heard him coming and hid. As soon as he could, OJ grabbed Ron from behind and started stabbing him. This incapacitated Ron a bit and explains why a perfectly healthy 25 year old man could be outdone by a 46 year old man with a beaten up body. With Ron not at full strength, OJ proceeds to finish him off. Then he goes back to Nicole and finishes her off with that slice to her neck. As far as his children -well, I agree with you - I think Nicole was as much of a piece of garbage as OJ - whoring around and doing massive drugs with her kids in the house - however, I dont think OJ gave a shi^&%$ about that. I believe he couldn't have cared less about his kids -which is obvious by the fact that he kills their Mother while they are sleeping upstairs. The only thing he cared about was that Nicole was screwing other men. Being the weak and jealous freak that he was - he couldnt take it. As far as the Bronco chase, very obvious to me - a guilty man trying to flee. Problem for him is he got caught. The man was weak and a total idiot. He just happened to be lucky enough to have big bucks. Any normal person would've been executed for what he did. OJ walks cuz he had the money for a top shelf defense team.

I don't think it was an accident either. I think he went there with the purpose of killing Nicole. Ron was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I read an interesting thing in on of the books on this case. I read that OJ had believed that his children went back to stay the night with Nicole's parents. Not that it makes the murders any less horrific though. I think it also points to why OJ decided to murder her on this particular night. He was going out of town and thought he had the perfect alibi, and he didn't think his children would be there that night.

Yeah this was definitely no accident. O.J. brought dark gloves/hat and a knife for one purpose: To kill Nicole.

I also think that Ron Goldman showed up and rang the outside fence doorbell. O.J. was stalking inside the fenceline, just outside Nicole's window or front door. Nicole came outside to let Ron in and once Ron walked inside the gate that's when O.J. pounced. How else would Ron get inside the gate?

Shall we play a game?

He also had purchased a disguise several days before. Plus withdrew a good deal of cash from the bank. Plus made phone calls to somewhere south of the boarer regarding boat rental and other transportation.

Having said that, in If I Did It, Simpson said the locks on the gate were shoddy, and he reminded Nicole many times to get them fixed, it irked him before the murders actually. This may explain how Ron got past the gate, if Nicole didn't let him him.

Despite beign June, it was rather cool that night, hence he wore the sweats. He also said the gloves and hat were in the pockets of his jacket, he wasn't wearing them. I can't recall the excuse for the knife. He also said he frequently carried around a lot of cash, and often made large withdrawls, which may be true. He also said he travelled a lot, which is somewhat true. I don't recall an excuse for the disguise, if there was one.

Mark Fuhrman has stated he isn't 100% convinced it was premedited, and Simpson went there to intimidate her into not moving away, and staying with him, as much as anything.
