Now I'm confused.
Goldman, in a literal fight for his life dosent manage to lay a hand on OJ.
Somehow, this dosent add up.
I can assure you, I would have certainly managed to get at least a few licks in, no matter what the circumstances.
I dont pretend to know if the "house painter" did it or not but any fair investigation would lead anyone to question the facts of the case as put forth by the LAPD.
Too many inconsistancies and very improboable chain of events to simply say "OJ did it".
IMHO anyway.

That's what the blitz attack is all about. Here's the basic scenario:
Ron (you) is over there for whatever reason. We know he's at least friends with Nicole and possibly they may have been lovers at one point but the establishment of that has been shaky at best (there's been as much "solid" evidence for as against).
OJ comes over, he did that a lot they lived in the same neighborhood and was still on publicly friendly terms with his ex-wife. You know him, he's OJ Simpson was a football player, in a lot of bad movies and Hertz commercial, decent guy.
Well Nicole and OJ start exchanging words, things get a little heated, they get taken outside for whatever reason (memory is getting shaky here, weren't their kids in the house?). You go out with them for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that you probably want to get out of there, nobody likes being around while other people are fighting. You maybe also know that OJ had beat her in the past so maybe you're figuring on protecting her if things go too far.
Things are getting really ugly now, maybe OJ is accusing you of sleeping with her. Maybe he's threatening to kick your ass for it. So you get into a fighting posture. At this juncture you're probably figuring this is OJ Simpson and your just some waiter and he's going to beat you silly, but you can try dammit. You're of course still hoping that this can be settled peacefully.
Then he moves quickly, maybe you see a flash of light of the metal, maybe not. Probably the first you realize this isn't a normal fight is when part of you stings really bad, you grab it, you feel wet, you look there's blood, you're blood. Of course while you're finding out you've been stabbed he's coming again. Or maybe you don't get to think much of anything. Remember the shot on Ron's neck was so hard and so deep he was almost decapitated (another indication of frenzied passion killing, not drug dealer type stuff).
Basically, from what we can tell from the wounds, Ron knew he was in at least some physical danger, but he had no idea just how much danger. He had moved to defend himself in a pugilistic way, but was hit so hard, so fast, and so many times that by the time his brain knew this wasn't a fist fight his body was no longer capable of responding. Blitz attacks happen pretty often in murders, this one is a little unusual in that the victim was in a defensive posture, but it's not at all uncommon for the bad guys to hit their victims so hard and fast that by the time the victim knows what's happening they're already incapacitated. Again, this particular has many signs that the assailant was known to the victim. You're not on gaurd around people you know. Even if they start acting violent or potentially violent you don't expect it to go that far (and if you do you're hanging out in the wrong crowd). Around people you know you might think you're going to have to punch them, but you're not going to think you have to disarm them before they stab you do death. And that's all the opening a killer needs, just long enough to get in one good shot in the upper torso, head or neck.
