OJ went from golf course to golf course, trying to find the real killer.

I might be the only person in North America that believes he didn't do it. I still believe drug dealers in association with Faye Resnick, did the actual killing ... Ron Goldman was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I actually dated a woman who looked like Nicole Brown Simpson.
Like Nicole, she put up with an abusive husband as well.
