OJ Simpson was so jealous that his ex-wife Nicole Brown had moved on from their relationship that he paid notorious Mafia gangsters to kill her, a key police witness has claimed.
Last week, MailOnline revealed the same witness placed OJ Simpson at the scene of the horrific double murder of Nicole Brown, 35, and her friend Ron Goldman, 25, on June 12, 1994.
Nicole was stabbed seven times in the neck and scalp. It was such a violent attack that when was found lying in a pool of blood in the fetal position, she was nearly decapitated.
However, with the help of his 'dream team' of lawyers, the iconic NFL star was found not guilty when his grueling trial came to a dramatic end on October 3, 1995 — as nearly 150 million people watched the verdict on television.
On April 10, Simpson died aged 76, surrounded by his family after a battle with cancer.
Now with another exclusive recording, MailOnline can reveal how witness John Dunton claims Simpson 'didn't give a s***' about his ex-wife and paid 'a lot of money... to have her whacked'.
Dunton is guarded about how he knew Simpson hired the mob, but claims he learned it from someone 'in his circle.'
Private investigator Paul Barresi, who provided his recording of Dunton's interview to MailOnline, says he first contacted the witness 30 years ago - and decided to try him again after OJ's death. This time he agreed to talk.
Dunton, 62, broke decades of silence to say on tape that OJ Simpson was at the scene of the double murder along with four gangsters from the Gambino crime family who he hired to kill his ex-wife Nicole Brown.

Total nonsense. Simpson’s actions in the week following the murders speak volumes. Sorry O.J., you’re a double murderer.
Your last comment about the witness seeing O.J. driving away from (near) the scene of the murders is something I've always wondered about. She sold her story for something like $5k, but her testimony could've been very helpful to the prosecution. It's too bad she couldn't see the long game.
Bull…
Mob hits don’t go down by knifing two people to death in a sloppy way.
AND.. it would be a very stupid thing to do a high profile celebrity hit for no reason other than OJ didn’t want his ex having relationships.. No way would they bother with that.
And should a mob do something stupid like that, they’d be extorting OJ for the rest of his life.
Didn’t happen. OJ did it, which is why he ran in the first place.
I concur.
All of the fumbling of evidence, by LAPD, opened avenues for reasonable doubt. Including the avenue: LAPD detectives corrupting, forging, nudging the evidence.
Plus, the following, did not help the prosecution:
Thursday, September 7, 1995:
Roanoke Times / AP
Detective Mark Fuhrman was called back to the witness stand Wednesday [09/06/1995] and was asked point blank whether he planted evidence against O.J. Simpson. He refused to answer, invoking his Fifth-Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Forensics at the OJ Simpson Trial
Evidence Collection
From the beginning, there were issues involving evidence collection. An important bloody fingerprint located on the gateway at Nicole Brown's house was not properly collected and entered into the chain of custody when it was first located. Although it was documented in his notes by Detective Mark Fuhrman, one of the first to arrive on the scene, no further action was taken to secure it.
The detectives who took over Fuhrman's shift apparently were never aware of the print and eventually, it was lost or destroyed without ever being collected. Other items of evidence were also never logged or entered into the chain of custody, which gave the impression that sloppy forensic collection had been carried out at the scene.
Securing the Evidence
Throughout the investigation, there were issues with how evidence was secured. There was about 1.5 mL of O.J. Simpson's blood assumed missing from a vial of evidence. The LAPD could not counter the idea of "lost blood" because there was no documentation of how much reference blood was taken from Simpson as evidence. The person who drew the blood could only guess he had taken 8 mL; only 6 mL could be accounted for by the LAPD.
To add to the problem, the blood was not immediately turned over as evidence but was carried around for several hours before it was entered into the chain of custody, allowing for speculation of when and how the 1.5 mL of blood may have disappeared.
The security of LAPD storage and labs was also brought under scrutiny when it was discovered that some pieces of evidence had been accessed and altered by unauthorized personnel. Simpson's Bronco was entered at least twice by unauthorized personnel while in the impound yard; Nicole Simpson's mother's glasses had a lens go missing while it was in the LAPD facility.
Ball onie
I did not read about this woman’s story until after the trial was over. Apparently she was driving home and was going through an intersection a block or two away from the murder scene. An African American man driving a White Bronco went through the intersection failing to stop at the stop sign almost causing a collision with her vehicle. She reported this story to the police but also sold it to the National Enquirer(or some other media outlet). Therefore, she never was called to testify at the trial.
From what I recall she was pretty sure that the man driving the vehicle was OJ. How well she would have done under cross examination by the best attorneys in the country would have been interesting to see. I am sure they would have investigated her, just like Mark Furhman to see if she had ever used the “N” word or might have been drinking that night, etc. Maybe she would not have made a good witness. We will never know.
The first is a statement by a witness. The second is hearsay that would probably not be admitted in court. The third is gossip, or a lead to be investigated, if you want to be generous.
This claim is in the third category. If taken as a lead, it is hard to credit as true. The crime scene forensics did not show multiple killers, and the only shoe print at the scene was O.J. Simpson's show size. Simpson's lawyers never claimed that was faked.
A great deal of other forensic and circumstantial evidence also pointed toward Simpson as the lone killer. And if Simpson hired Mafia killers, why did he not also bother to arrange an iron clad public alibi?
Also, Mafia killers generally use a gun instead of a knife. A knife means risk, a messy crime scene, and blood on the killer, the sort of things that professionals avoid. How is that to be explained? That the standards of Mafia hit men are slipping?
Moreover, in spite of the immense attention and resources devoted to the Simpson case and to law enforcement surveillance of the Mafia, no one has ever come forward with a shred of actual evidence that the Mafia did the Simpson killing. No wiretaps and no member or associate or witness looking for a deal has ever come forward.
This story seems false, not even up to tabloid standards.
Naa the same Gambino gangsters that killed Jimmy Hoffa same story different persons they are all a like.
When OJ first came on the scene as an athlete, there were stories written about his life and how he left his ghetto past. He had grown up in a gang and was famous for fighting with two knives, one in each hand. Hard to defend against if the attacker is as powerful as OJ was.
Hadn’t read of this since ‘70 or so, so I guess it was just plain forgotten about. Sure explains a lot, though, doesn’t it?
OJ did it. The blood evidence against him could not have been faked. IIRC, it included the form a near microscopic aerosols that only occur when a LOT of blood is being violently splashed in and about.
There is no evidence of “lost blood”. The defense argued for it and LAPD did not document the exact amount taken, so they could not prove none was missing. But neither did the defense show 1.5mm of blood WAS missing.
[Lastly, professional killers would not practically cut her head off with a knife. She would have died from two gunshots to the head. Same with Goldman. From a gun with a suppressor.]
The only person who had access to the right-hand "bloody glove" and could place/put the glove where it is photographed in the narrow dead-end path at the southern border of the Rockingham Estate . . . was LAPD Detective Mark Furhman.
There was no blood anywhere around that glove. Not on the ground, nor on the cyclone chain link fence along the property boundary, nor on the neighbor's property, nor on the southern exterior wall of the Rockingham estate house and office/bungalo's wing (where Detective Furhman presumed that Kato Kaelin's "three thumps" occurred), nor on any items and fixtures attached to that exterior wall, nor anywhere on the path leading to the gate for that pathway between the fence and the house, nor on that pathway.
Nothing. Only the right-hand *bloody glove* by itself.
OJ Simpson could have done the crime, but there is too much room for reasonable doubt, re the right-hand glove plus other evidence of LAPD failures.
For example, a morally-well-intended effort by a member of the LAPD to cover over Nicole's body, because of the terrible condition of it . . . resulted with: A blue blanket was retrieved from her home and placed over her and around portions of her, thereby contaminating all fibre evidence regarding her, regarding the dog, regarding fibers of the Ford Bronco, and regarding fibers of the dark-blue knitted cap situated near her body (adjacent to the left-hand *bloody glove*) . . and regarding hair fibers "consistent with O. J. Simpon's hair."
Pretty clever of the gangsters to wear size 12 Bruno Magli shoes for the murder, the very same kind OJ wore.
Truth, no professional killer would ever have left so much DNA evidence. If they did, they would only do it once. They would then end up disappearing.
The prosecution thought they had a slam dunk case and were wetting themselves at the prospect of putting OJ Simpson in prison for life. Everyone forgets what idiots the detectives and prosecution were. They blamed the judge and OJ's team, but the racist recording of the detective sealed the deal with the black jurors.
Was he guilty? Probably? His past injuries and arthritis make me think he had a younger accomplice, but we will never know for sure. This story is BS someone getting 15 minutes of fame.
The OJ Simpson case is like a test of reason, and you’ve failed.
I agree. The whole thing sounds too much like a Friday-night-detective show on Netflix.
