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.

O.J. Simpson’s brain will be incinerated, not investigated, The Post has learned. The body of the killer and former NFL great is expected to be cremated Tuesday in Las Vegas — with no plans to donate his brain for research despite multiple requests from scientists, a rep for his estate told The Post.

Allison was weighing in on the racial tensions that pervaded the country during the Simpson trial and its aftermath. She said the Simpson case brought to the fore “just how black...

VIDEOImagine spending over forty years of your life in the news business, including anchoring ABC World News Tonight for twenty years, yet the thing you are best remembered for is being easily pranked on live TV. Such was the sad yet hilarious fate of Peter Jennings who in 1994 got pranked at the tail end of OJ Simpson's infamous slow speed White Bronco chase. If the absurd voice of the pranker didn't immediately set off alarm bells for any normal person then the final "BABA BOOEY!" would have revealed the caller as a Howard Stern fan. Poor Peter didn't have...

Trial watchers, sociologists and even FX’s show “People v OJ Simpson” have argued that the jurors in O.J. Simpson’s murder case acquitted him as payback for the Rodney King beating.

News of the passing of notorious football legend and actor O.J. Simpson has dominated headlines across the United States. However, it appears that at least one outlet still had one name on its mind when it came to writing his obituary, that of former President Donald Trump. The LA Times posted an obituary for the former San Francisco 49ers running back Thursday after Simpson’s family announced his death. However, the Times incorrectly named Trump as the man who left Lovelock Correctional Facility after incarceration in 2017, according to an archived version of their report.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressed condolences Thursday on the death of former NFL star OJ Simpson — but made no mention of the two people he was accused, and sensationally acquitted, of killing nearly three decades ago. “Our thoughts are with his families [sic] during this difficult time — obviously with his family and loved ones,” Jean-Pierre said of Simpson. “And I’ll say this, I know that they have asked for some privacy. And so we’re going to respect that. And I’ll just leave it there.” Simpson, 76, died of complications from prostate cancer just two months shy...

It’s been nearly 25 years since Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were found stabbed to death outside Brown Simpson’s Brentwood, California, home. A quarter of a century is long enough to heal most wounds. But, for two members of the prosecution, their failure to secure a conviction against the man they believe to be responsible, the pain of that loss feels as fresh as it did the day a jury announced O.J. Simpson was not guilty of murder.“Time doesn’t heal much of anything,” Christopher Darden said Saturday at the 2019 CrimeCon in New Orleans. Darden worked for the Los...

The relentless churn of famous figures who’ve hosted Saturday Night Live over the years has left the show with not a few regrets. Being a bad host is one thing, with SNL’s shark-like momentum simply shaking off a bummer of an episode and moving on. (Or, as in the cases of such universally reviled outings from hosts Milton Berle and Frank Zappa, being pulled from syndication by producer Lorne Michaels for a time.) But then there are the host bookings that, thanks to the host’s life away from the SNL spotlight, leave a stain that Michaels and NBC would much...
