15 Years Pass Since Simpson, Goldman Murders
ktla ^ | June 12, 2009

LOS ANGELES -- Much has changed in the 15 years that have passed since the murders of O.J. Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.

The Brentwood condominium where the two were found brutally stabbed to death on the night of June 12, 1994 is now barely recognizable. The new owners have changed the facade of the building on Bundy Drive and given it a new entryway.

The owners apparently grew tired of tour buses driving by and gawkers taking pictures.

The once nearby Mezzaluna Restaurant, where Nicole had her last meal, has been replaced by a Pete's Coffee House.

On the night of the murders, Nicole and some family members had eaten at Mezzaluna, where Goldman worked as a waitor. Nicole's mom later realized she had left her glasses there, and Goldman offered to bring them to Nicole's townhome.

Their bodies were later discovered in pools of blood outside the condo.

On June 17, 1994, O.J. Simpson, the primary suspect at the time, failed to turn himself in to police. He had left a rambling suicide note, which was read aloud to reporters by one of his lawyers, Robert Kardashian.

Simpson finally surrendered following the now-infamous white Bronco chase on the 405 Freeway.

O.J. was tried and acquitted in the murders the next year despite overwhelming evidence that prosecutors said tied him to the crimes. He was later found liable in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33 million.

Simpson lived a free man until recently when he was convicted in the robbery of two memorabilia dealers he accused of stealing from him. The former NFL star is currently serving a nine year prison sentence in Nevada.

I think he’ll find the real killer in Nevada.

If only he were out, he could continue the search for the killer.

OJ should start searching in the mirrors for the killer.

Too true. You know how many golf courses he could search in nine years?

I wonder if the juice were out of jail if he would be playing golf with the messiah.

I do not like the way you talk about dead people who were murdered. That’s disgusting.

Take it somewhere else.

Nonstatist, is that supposed to be funny? OJ had no justification for killing either of these people. That “slut” was his children’s mother. He killed the mother of his children.

Do you have to work hard at being this big an ass, or does it just come naturally?

That is not only a crass statement it reveals your anti-Semitic bent. Go pander somewhere else
