For context RE r36:

[quote]Brown wrote that she felt conflicted about notifying the police of the abuse because she was financially dependent on Simpson. She described an incident in which Simpson broke her arm during a fight; in order to prevent him from being arrested, she had told emergency room staff that she had fallen off her bike. She wrote about him beating her in public, during sex and even in front of family and friends. Of the 62 incidents of abuse, the police were notified eight times and Simpson was arrested once

r58 I recently posted this on another thread:

I've known a few battered women in my life, and none of them fit the stereotypical "abused woman" trope we see in TV and movies. On the surface, they seemed assertive and unwilling to put up with shit. They would stand up to their husbands (in public at least). They weren't overly passive or fearful in their demeanor and you probably wouldn't have guessed they were being abused (in one case, rather severely).

The point is, appearances in these situations can be deceiving: not just the stereotypes of the working-class, Stanley Kowalski-type abusers, but also of the battered woman, always deferring and never fighting back, always cowering in a corner.

by Anonymousreply 66March 6, 2022 12:32 PM

r60 I should add that I think abusers and victims "find each other." Abusers test the waters early to see how much they can get away with (but it starts with smaller things) and then the abuse escalates. They often isolate the victim, but again, it's subtle, like "I want us to spend all our time together" rather than "I don't want you having friends." One woman I knew really wanted a large, traditional wedding with family and friends; her fiance refused to allow anyone to attend other than a couple of witnesses and no one from her family. By that point, he had pretty effectively isolated her under the guise of "I want you all to myself."

Long-term abuse leads to mental health problems; then the abuser can turn around and say, "See, she's the crazy one." Or better still: "She's the REAL abuser."

There is no such thing as a perfect victim, and women (and despite what the incel trolls claim, it is usually women) who are abused have flaws, often suffer from addiction and other mental health problems, and are not always the most likeable people. All these things work in the abuser's favor.

In the video at R65, wow OJ is a talker. I vaguely remember Faye Resnick writing about that in her book, that he talked so much when they were on the phone together. Obviously he's extremely self-righteous, and maybe he talked all the time so that people would have to hear his opinions while never expressing their own. And in that video he actually felt morally superior over his murder victim's sister because he has better credit than her. The murder itself proves how full of himself he is. He actually killed two people and ruined his own (very nice) life because his ex-wife dared to ignore him at a dance recital and didn't invite him to dinner with her family.

Nicole was very young when they met. I don't remember the details, but Marcia Clark said in her book that there was something strange about Nicole's family...something about nude pictures on the walls of the parents' house. And Denise had a kid out of wedlock and just lived at home with no money of her own well into her 30's, which is kind of odd because she's very attractive and could easily have had a marriage and family. And, not that this means anything, but Denise and Nicole looked so much alike, and the other two sisters looked nothing like either of them, no resemblance whatsoever. I remember noticing that back then. Anyway, maybe Nicole was vulnerable because she had a strange upbringing and, again, met OJ when she was so young.

I think Nicole’s “strange” family was just your typical emotionally frigid German-American household. I also think in her childhood she would have fit the stereotypical latch-key kid culture, so even if her mom didn’t work and was a stay-at-home, Nic and her siblings most likely had to raise themselves. Add to all that the actual gender roles in that era — women were often still raised with the expectation that the focus is on landing a wealthy husband, no more than that. So she really had the entire deck stacked against her, I think she was likely doomed no matter what.

I would *love* to know if her mother still talks to OJ!!!!! Now THAT is a scandal. I can’t judge them because I’ve never come anywhere close to this situation, but it is hard to imagine how Nic’s family could still talk to him. Maybe their rationale was that it is better for the kids if they all get along? Idk.

OJ was stabbing Nicole when Ron Goldman stumbled upon the scene. OJ charged Ron, who put up a fight, but was able to subdue and kill him (this was how he lost the knit cap and the one glove) then he went back to Nicole, who was crumpled on the ground, pulled her head up by her hair and sliced her neck. It was absolutely horrific.

I guess maybe black people cheering was less about O.J. and more about the politics of the LAPD at the time, police brutality. A lot of their catharsis was bigger than O.J. I can understand that. But at the end of the day, two people were murdered.

I think most people thought we based our decision on race. Race never came up in the topic of our deliberation, or even how the LAPD treated black people.

Like, regarding Fuhrman, none of his comments really …

The thing with Fuhrman was once his credibility was shot, you really could discount anything he said. He was definitely a liar — he lied on the stand — and when he came back to the court, he took the fifth on everything. Why would you trust anything he said? He was the detective that found all this evidence: the blood on the Bronco, on the back fence, on the glove … all of that created reasonable doubt.

Was there a moment in particular during the trial that really swayed your decision towards reasonable doubt?

Yeah, when they started talking about the blood evidence. There was, like, a milliliter of blood they couldn’t account for. And they found blood on the back fence of Nicole’s condo, and that particular blood also had the additive in there. That additive is only found in [a test tube of blood], so why would the blood sample on that back fence contain that additive unless somebody took the blood from the test tube and placed it there?

Do you think O.J. was framed?

I don’t know if he was necessarily framed. I think O.J. may know something about what happened, but I just don’t think he did it. I think it was more than one person, just because of the way she was killed. I don’t know how he could have just left that bloody scene — because it was bloody — and got back into his Bronco and not have it filled with blood. And then go back home and go in the front door, up the stairs to his bedroom … That carpet was snow white in his house. He should have blood all over him or bruises because Ron Goldman was definitely fighting for his life. He had defensive cuts on his shoes and on his hands.

O.J. only had that little cut on his finger. If [Goldman] was kicking to death, you would think that the killer would have gotten some bruises on his body. They showed us photos of O.J. with just his underwear just two days after, and he had no bruises or anything on his body.

According to transcripts of interviews conducted by investigators from the LAPD’s Internal Affairs Division, Coleman and another deputy district attorney said they were told by Detective Mark Arneson of the LAPD’s 77th Division that he had talked with two officers to whom Fuhrman had confided that he had had an intimate relationship with Nicole Brown Simpson and to whom he described her breast augmentation.

In the meantime, according to the transcripts of other Internal Affairs interviews, Burke told investigators she was told by Detective Daryl Maxwell of the Rampart Division that an officer he knew had overheard Fuhrman bragging that he had slept with Nicole Brown Simpson and that Fuhrman had described her “boob job.” (Arneson and Maxwell later denied to investigators that such conversations had occurred.)

According to an Internal Affairs transcript, Coleman subsequently told LAPD investigators: “Quite honestly, I agonized for about a week or two what I should do with the evidence because obviously if it was true, I felt ethically it had to be turned over to the defense.”

Coleman, sources say, decided that because she was a friend of Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark and respected William Hodgman, the other assistant district attorney on the case, she would go to them and report what she and her colleagues had heard.

Early in August, 1994, Coleman met with the prosecutors in Clark’s office and, according to the declaration, “told them what I had heard” about the locker and Nazi paraphernalia.

Nicole Brown Simpson 911 Calls. Complete, Uncensored, Never Before Heard

Offsite Link
by Anonymousreply 135March 8, 2022 2:27 AM

Michael Nigg (April 28, 1969 – September 8, 1995)[1] was an aspiring actor who worked as a waiter at a Beverly Hills restaurant. He was shot and killed during an apparent robbery attempt in Hollywood.[2] The Los Angeles Police Department later arrested three suspects but soon released them for lack of evidence. No other suspects have ever been identified, and the killing remains unsolved.[3]

The case attracted some media coverage at the time, because Nigg had formerly worked at the Mezzaluna restaurant in Brentwood, where he had been a friend of Ronald Goldman's. Almost 15 months earlier, Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson had been found slain at her home near the restaurant, after he had gone there to return her mother's eyeglasses, which had been left behind at Mezzaluna. Simpson's ex-husband, former football star O. J. Simpson, had been charged with the murders, and his highly publicized trial had reached closing arguments.

Simpson, who has consistently professed his innocence in the Brown and Goldman killings, was acquitted of the murder charges almost a month after Nigg's death.[a] Alternative theories of the murders, supposedly shared by Simpson, have suggested they were related to drug trafficking in the Los Angeles area,[4] and that Nigg's was as well; Nigg apparently lived very well for a waiter,[5] and there were some allegations he, too, had been involved in the drug trade while working at the Mezzaluna branch in Colorado before.[6] Nigg and Goldman, it has also been noted, were not the only waiters at Mezzaluna to be the victims of criminal activity during the mid-1990s.[6]

Brett Ross Cantor (November 5, 1967[1] – July 30, 1993) was an American record label executive, concert promoter and nightclub owner. He was born in New York to Rhonda and Paul Cantor, who managed acts such as B. J. Thomas and Dionne Warwick. In the early 1970s, he and his family moved to the Los Angeles area. In the early 1990s, he served as an A&R executive for the Chrysalis Music Group.

After signing Rage Against the Machine, Cantor left Chrysalis to work briefly as an agent and then a promoter, putting together some of the largest concert and dance events in the city at that time.[2] He also entered the nightclub business, taking a 10% stake in Dragonfly, a club known at the time for its 1970s and hip hop theme nights. At that time he was involved romantically with actress Rose McGowan.[3]

Cantor was found dead in his Hollywood home on July 30, 1993; he had been stabbed repeatedly in the upper body. No suspect has ever been identified and the investigation remains open. His death was the subject of renewed interest a year later, when, during preliminary motions in the trial of O. J. Simpson for the killings of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman, Judge Lance Ito ruled that defense lawyers could have access to the investigatory file in the Cantor case. The defense had argued that the similarity of the three killings suggested the same person or persons had committed them.[4] It has also been argued in books on the case that Cantor knew both Goldman and Nicole, and thus they may have been killed over mutual involvement in possibly illegal business activities.[5][6]

Dear O.J. I'd like to see you, to talk to you in person. But I know you can't do that. I've been attending these meetings to help me turn negatives into positives -- to help me turn get rid of my anger . . . . I've learned to "let things go" (the most powerful, helpful thing I've ever learned). I've learned that all things that upset & bother me are just a mirror of what's going on in me. I always knew that what was going on with us was about me -- I just wasn't sure why it was about me -- So I just blamed you. I'm the one who was controlling. I wanted you to be faithful and be a perfect father. I was not accepting to who you are. Because I didn't like myself anymore. I'm not sure exactly what went on with me these last few years. I know New Year's Eve started it. I sank into a depression that I couldn't control. I also agree with you now -- that I went through some sort of mid life crisis -- "that 30's thing," you called it, my own self esteem . . . ect. I know it was a combination of all of these things. But mostly, due to all of these things, I know I gave up. I gave up treating you like I loved you. We started taking each other for granted -- and I didn't know how to put it all back together. I never stopped loving you -- I stopped liking myself and lost total confidence in any relationship with you.

I really needed this time in my life -- It's allowed me to get to know and like myself (again). It's given me a chance to go from a non-person, (the past 3 years) to a whole person.

There's so much I want to say to you. It's very hard to express myself in this letter. I wish we could be taking a walk around the block like we used to. It would be so much easier to speak to you face to face.

I want to put our family back together! I want our kids to grow up with their parents. I thought I'd be happy raising Sydney & Justin by myself -- since we didn't see too much of you anyway. But, now, I [missing text].

I want to be with you! I want to love you and cherish you, and make you smile. I want to wake up with you in the mornings and hold you at night. I want to hug and kiss you everyday. I want us to be the way we used to be. There was no couple like us. I don't know what I went through . . . . I didn't believe you loved me anymore -- and I couldn't handle it. But for the past month I've been looking at our wedding tape and our family movies -- and I can see that we truly loved each other. A love I've never seen in any of our friends. Please look at the 2 tapes I'm sending over with this letter. Watch them along & with your phone turned off -- they're really fun to watch.

O.J., I want to come home -- I want us all to be together again -- We can move wherever you want -- we can stay here -- I just never want to leave your side again.

I've almost come home 20 times since I left -- but I was never totally sure about us until now. I know I love you and know I'm in love with you and know I want to [missing text] and be with you forever.

Without this year, without this growth, I don't think we'd have had a chance together -- We let it die. And through death . . . something new always grows. I agree with what you said 6 or 8 months ago. The next time around will be the best. I totally feel that now. We want to come home -- we'd be there tomorrow if you'd let us. I'm not embarrassed about anything -- I don't give a hoot what anybody thinks. I only know I love you and our kids would be the happiest kids in the world.

If you're totally happy with your life now -- I'll understand -- especially if you're truly in love and know that's going to work. Then, I can't mess with that. If I don't hear from you soon -- then I'll assume that's the case and I'll never bother you or ask you to have [missing text] way to find out -- I had to ask.

O.J. You'll be my one and only "true love." I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you and I'm sorry we let it die. Please let us be a family again, and let me love you -- better than I ever have before.

I'll love you forever and always . . .

At that time, DNA technology was still relatively new and many people weren't very familiar with it or didn't trust it. It was the complete opposite of today, where DNA's validity is unquestioned and people know exactly what it is. We also didn't have all of the tv shows like CSI or Forensic Files back then.

The leather gloves thing was really stupid (asking OJ to put on the gloves in front of the jury).

In the old days, golf gloves used to be made of thin leather and my dad had some. They get wet and shrink down quite a bit, but you can get them over your hands. They're supposed to be have a tight fit. Also, those chamois cloths that people used to use to wash cars. Quite a bit of shrinkage, but then they'd stretch out.

Hence, it didn't really prove anything that OJ "couldn't" get them on his hands in front of the jury.

I suppose people think it's karma, but I thought the robbery he was convicted of was utter bullshit. And the sentence was appalling for the circumstances of that conviction.

The evidence in this case was overwhelming. There are men who are sitting on death row who were convicted on much less evidence than what was in the OJ case.

I don’t believe OJ was innocent but defense proved reasonable doubt absolutely. Mark Fuhrman alone was enough.

Someone mentioned Robert Blake and you could compare but it wasn’t that high profiled.

I’d compare it to Casey Anthony. People hate OJ way more than they hate Casey Anthony.

The hair and fiber evidence was as strong as the blood evidence:

Hair in the blue-knit cap found near Goldman's feet matched Simpson's hair.

Hair found on Goldman's shirt matched Simpson's hair - which was likely deposited by "direct contact," possibly when Simpson grabbed Goldman by the throat from behind.

Hair matching Nicole's was found on the bloody right-hand glove at Rockingham - consistent with the coroner's testimony that Simpson had yanked her by the hair before he slit her throat.

Blue-black cotton fibers - the color of Simpson's outfit when he went to McDonald's with Kato - were found on the Rockingham glove, the socks in Simpson's bedroom, and Goldman's shirt.

Fibers from Goldman's shirt matched those found in each of the gloves.

Carpet fibers like those from Simpson's Bronco matched those found on the knit hat and on the Rockingham glove. Those fibers could ONLY have come from a 1993 or 1994 Ford Bronco.

The hair and fiber matches alone should have been close to conclusive evidence of Simpson's guilt and a clear indication that Fuhrman could not possibly have planted evidence.

If I’m not mistaken, the fibers were omitted from evidence, right?

by Anonymousreply 211March 8, 2022 11:46 PM

It was allowed but it was not presented correctly by the prosecution and the jurors didn't seem to care about it.

The whole trial was unbelievably asinine. That should've been a slam dunk case with so much evidence pointing to Simpson's guilt but so many things went wrong.

Casey Anthony was loathed just as much as Simpson was, I would think. His trial attracted more people because he was famous, so technically he was hated by a larger number of people, but both were hated equally by those who followed their trials, IMO.

I wasn't around during the Sharon Tate murders, but my guess for the murderers most loathed by the public since then are O.J., Casey Anthony and Jodi Arias. They were all deeply hated by the general public during their trials. Even Gloria Allred thought Arias was guilty of first degree murder.

It was basically a case of jury nullification. Quite honestly I understand the sentiment. You put a racist cop like Fuhrman on the stand and play recordings of him repeatedly saying the “N” word in the context of his job performance and expect a mostly black jury who has been sequestered for months to convict a black man of murder in L.A. where race tensions were super high?

by Anonymousreply 219March 9, 2022 7:56 PM

Lol R219. Narcissistic sociopaths do a real psychological mind fuck on their victims. OJ was not always violent or abusive. In fact, they had many happy times, but the abuse is majority of the time, especially in subtle gas lighting. The victim starts to question their own sanity and worth . The abuser uses this to their advantage. They only feel Truly alive when they are subjugating their victims. They are empty vessels

[quote]You'd be surprised at how often the family of the abused woman sides with the abuser, even when there is no financial incentive for them to do so. These men are truly masters of manipulation.

I sort of saw this with my own parents. My sister was in a relationship with an emotional/verbal abuser for over a decade. They never married, but had a child together. He was an manipulator with my parents and others in the family. He had a bad childhood as he grew up with mother with addiction issues and his grandparents eventually got custody of him. A lot of us in the family had sympathy for him, but he used his childhood as fucking excuse for a lot of shitty stuff and my parents ate it up all the time. My sister's ex wasn't wealthy or anything and went through periods where he quit jobs constantly. My brother and I saw through this manipulative bullshit after awhile and warned my parents, but they wouldn't listen.

Eventually, my sister's asshole ex left her for a woman he met while working at a warehouse. He moved in with her and for awhile, he had visitation/weekends with my nephew. He later asked to no longer see my nephew and he moved out of state. My parents were pretty much bamboozled by the whole thing and my brother basically had an "I told you so" moment with them. Later on, relatives like aunts, uncles, and cousins told me that me that they never liked my sister's ex and got bad vibes around him.

How did Kato come to live with OJ? There were rumors he supplies the drugs but also that he was Nicole's boy/friend/dealer

by Anonymousreply 222March 10, 2022 6:20 AM

R222, OJ was paranoid and extremely jealous like most abusers . Kato was paying rent to Nicole and OJ offered him Free room And board to get him Away from Nicole and to punish Nicole.

And Kato went along. What a friend

But then again he lied. As the years go on, he tells more about OJs guilt, which he couldn't be frank about on the stand. I'm sure he was terrified tho.

Comment from Lipstick Alley:

Why do you assume that it's jealousy? Now THAT'S disturbing. I see it as some people slowly waking up to the ways that white supremacy affects every portion of western culture such that it seeps into our brains as people of color and affects our own individual perspectives.

It's a bit louche to mention it in certain circumstances given the parameters of the woman's death. However this is an anonynous internet forum that largely circles around current events and gossip. That means that we can bring up the louche and declasse at times in such a forum. Especially when it can help us disseminate the reasons behind some of the sordid brainwashing from which many of us as people of color suffer as a collective group.

After all, why is it that's she's always been described as beautiful by mainstream media? Beautiful to whom? Why? She always looked fairly average to me. Are they describing her as such or TELLING us to believe that she is so?

MTE4MDAzNDEwOTU1MjQwOTc0.jpg

Beautiful?

Hmm...would she have been considered as such if her suspected killer was a white man?

I think that instead of depicting her as this young beautiful delicate ingenue who fell victim to a brutish black they would have then played up the fact that she was a mom with small children more so.

In the politics of compassion, there is white patriarchal distrust of attractive young white women that centers upon the madonna/hoe complex that white males collectively have supported during the 20th/early 21st century as a response to feminism and the sexµal revolution.

However, the white mother as race gatekeeper of all that is home and hearth? Not even the most affluent white male can curry favor against that particular racial and gender trope.

Depicting her as the ideal white mother would have meant that instead of the glamour shots that were tossed about, we as the consuming public would have been shown pics of her surrounded by her kids, baking cookies in the kitchen, pregnant, etc.

However, it was not a white man suspected of killing her, but a black one. This means that this near middle aged divorcee with children suddenly became a young, sexualized femme fatale/virginal ingenue in the media, an image that could raise both the ire and the desire to protect in both whites and many non-whites collectively.

This appealing to racial stereotypes (the big black scary brute who harms the tender young virginal white woman) has been trotted out for near centuries at this point and serves as one of the founding pillars of white supremacist ideals.

The same language can be seen in accounts of lynchings during the late 19th/early 20th century. Black male suspects were painted as brutish and large even if they were young teens, whereas their supposed white female victims were always painted as delicate, virginal, young, etc. This was done even when the truth was far from that picture. One of the youngest lynchings on record occurred in South Carolina during the early 20th century----

The youngest boy hung for the murder of a white woman was only 9 years old. He was depicted by northern papers as small and malnourished. The oldest boy who was one of his playmates/cousins was also described as a small 12 year old. However the southern newspaper accounts depicted them both as mischievous and rebellious "ruffians", though one reporter admitted that the nine year old began to cry for his mama as they placed the noose around his neck.

In contrast, the white woman was depicted as a young "miss", a young "maiden", "a young girl". She was depicted as sweet and virginal and oh so delicate. In reality, the murdered white woman was a WOMAN who was almost 30 and weighed more than both of the boys murdered by about 100 lbs. She also stood much taller than them. Now historians believe that she was likely murdered by an abusive lover, an adult white man that she'd been seeing on the sly because he was married.

Language is everything because it's one of the quietly aggressive ways that racist ideals are maintained and supported.

ETA: Now I'd love to depict myself (ha) as being this highbrow intellectual, however the above has been written about at length in academic peer reviewed articles and books about the entire 1994 case. Many well regarded and reputable academics who specialize in race theory and/or gender politics have said the same thing as OP...just in much less sensational language.

I don’t mean any disrespect but I always felt her looks were overrated in the media because she was murdered and blonde. She definitely wasn’t unattractive but I never really saw it when people called her gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, etc. She was rather hard/masculine looking.

Skincare was totally different back then. Also procedures less common, the norm was a nose job (which she had) and invasive face lift or eye lifts but If Nicola were living in this era she would be fully Kardashian-ed with lazer treated skin to remove all sun spots, filled lips ( her 90s lips date her in the photos - thin natural lips are now shunned by most women with resources in the glamour industries), filled cheeks, heavy makeup with the false lashes. Also her hair was very over processed as OJ insisted she remain blonde.

by Anonymousreply 235November 7, 2024 10:35 AM

The fact is OJ groomed her when she was a teenage waitress. Her appeal to him was that she was very young, malleable, white, blonde, and low income. He abused her from the start with the initial support of her parents who enjoyed his wealth.

Noone back then really regarded Nicole as an incredible beauty but she was a model - for swimsuit shoots - and had a strong striking face, great body and was reportedly a kind and good person. The horrifying crimes of her monster husband made her a symbol of abused women.

Among the more caustic accounts, Bethy Vaquerano, a maid to Nicole, in a letter outlined in American Tragedy: The Uncensored Story of the Simpson Defense, described Nicole as being abusive towards Simpson and that Nicole was racist and antisemitic.[28] Some sources claimed that Nicole was determined to keep her children's biracial identity as much of a nonissue as possible and that she, and Simpson's friend, Tom McCollum, called Simpson "Largehead," Nicole using the word in a condescending manner.[29] Jennifer Young (the daughter of realtor Elaine Young who sold Simpson the Rockingham house) and Victoria Sellars also claimed that Nicole pulled up once while they were with Simpson and that Nicole accused him of angrily cheating on her. Young said Simpson remained calm throughout the incident.[30] Jennifer Peace said that Al Cowlings described loud fights between Simpson and Brown and that Nicole would berate her husband with racial slurs.[31]
