who wrote in her book that the conversation was upbeat?
That they were giggling about their futures?
Or was it someone yet to be identified?
Ron Goldman initials his time card -- punched out. He's driving a small compact car possibly red. He has a Pellegrino {mineral water}, spends next 15-20 minutes sitting & talking with DE BELLO he also talks with a couple of the waiters & bartender, Stewart Tanner.
Nicole calls Mezzaluna, speaks to Crawford who gives phone to Ron Goldman.
Charles Cale finishes packing and decides to take a short walk with his dog.
[PHONE BILL] Juditha Brown speaks to Karen Crawford at. Mezzaluna, who then finds glasses intact outside the resturant.
When leaving the estate with Simpson at 9:12 PM, Kaelin checked for cars approaching from the passenger side of the Bentley -- in the direction of Ashford -- though Kealin did see an approaching car, he DID NOT see the Bronco parked on Rockingham.
Therefore, contrary to Simpson's June 13th statement to the Vannatter, the Bronco must parked on Ashford. The alternative is to hold that, though Simpson was at Rockingham, the Bronco was NOT.
| The one fact which has remained constant throughout the various testimonies -- no witnesses have been introduced to corroborate the existance of the Bronco, at Rockingham between 3:00 PM and 11:15 PM on Saturday, 12 June 1994.
The intelligent juror requires corraboration of possession as an element of both Opportunity and Means.

Kaelin types resumes in Simpson's Rockingham office.
-
Reichardt summation of situation = "misconstrued"
Petrocelli: Tell us why you're so sure, 99 percent sure, that O.J. Simpson is innocent and did not kill Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown.
Reichardt: There's a whole bunch of reasons: Number one, I know his physical condition, you know. If you would put O.J. on a chair and ask him to jump down, he wouldn't be able to do it, you know. Like I said, I've seen so much
Petrocelli: Anyway, you were telling me about O.J. Simpson's physical condition as the first reason why you believe he's 99 percent innocent. By the way, there is a 1 percent doubt in your mind. Correct?
Reichardt: I think there's a I percent doubt in anybody's mind.
Petrocelli: About OJ. Simpson?
Reichardt: About anything.
Petrocelli: So nothing can be a hundred percent.
Reichardt: Exactly.
Petrocelli: But you're about as sure you're as sure that O.J. Simpson is innocent as you are sure of any other fact.
Reichardt: That's right.
-- Arnelle Simpson is at the movies.
-- Charles Cales is home, preparing for bed.
-- Kaelin finishes typing resumes.
QUESTION: Can we locate the Bronco? PETROCELLI: You had said yesterday that you took a walk from Rockingham through the Ashford gate with the dog. Were there any other cars parked on Rockingham or Ashford when you took that walk?
Simpson: Not that I noticed.
-- Rosa Lopez walks Salinger dog on Rockingham.
Marcus Allen leaves for Cayman Islands I think to the best of my recollection, we left around 10 o'clock or so.
{witness, not called, claims to have seen Nicole talking to man in white truck. Standing nearby is a Caucasian/asian man [12 July testimony].}
- -- Charles Cale is in bed.
-- Mandel & Aaronson leave Mezzaluna and walk to Bundy.
-- Francesca Harman leaves dinner party. Sometime between 10:15 & 10:45 Eva Stein awakened by sound of persistant dog barking, but does not check time.
-- [time checked]Robert Heidstra takes his two dogs for walk.
Pablo Fenjves, dog barks {WaD, pp 36} "I like witnesses who peg their memories to TV GUIDE. They're usually reliable. At about a quarter past to half past the hour he hears a dog barking "uncontrollably." The dog continues to bark for over an hour."
LAWYER'S LIE: The reader, like a jury, seldom stops to calculate. Fenjves testified the dog was still barking thirty minutes AFTER Schwab had brought the dog home. Fenjves could NOT have been hearing the Akita. Clark used him in the case, and in her book, to willfully mislead both the jury and her readers.
[estimated] Pablo Fenjves watching 10 o'clock NEWS on Channel 5, hears dog's "plaintive wail". He stops watching TV & goes down to his office.
[time checked] Harmon in car at corner of Dorothy & Bundy. Hears NO sound of barking dogs -- street quiet. She drives down Bundy, does NOT see BRONCO.
[DepR] Simpson is in bedroom, uses bathroom, than takes shower.
[time] Allan Park arrives at Ashford Gate, gets out of car & smokes a cigarette while listening to radio. No activity at Rockingham.
| At 10:30 P.M., June 12, 1994, almost two hours before the bodies of nicole and Ron were discovered, an anonymous female called the LAPD and inquired about a "double homicide on the Westside." ... Indeed, there was only one double homicide in that pricey section of Los Angeles on that night -- Ron Goldman and nicole Brown Simpson. So who the hell made that call at almost precisely the time when the murders are believed to have happened? |
| Remaining consistant to their practice during the Criminal Trial, the LADA & LAPD have failed to disclose the precise time that this call was received. The very existence of this call implies the existence of a yet to be revealed witness. |
-- [time] Ferrara & Kaelin still on phone -- Ferrara asks time. Inside the house, Simpson is sitting on his bed waiting for the Limousine driver to ring.
-- Allan Park gets back in Limo and waits until 10:40.
-- [estimated] Heidstra, & his dogs, reach Bundy & Gorham. No Barking Dog.
-- [10:30-11:00] Jason arrives at his apartment at Sycamore. He might have called his girlfriend. He watches TV until 3:00 AM.
| The Akita's role in all this was eerie, to say the least. You had to wonder what the poor animal had witnesses. Had he tried to defend his mistress? Probably not. |
| The Simpson children were apparently so fond of Brian Kaelin, they gave their dog his nickname. |
| The chief trainer for the LADA's K-9 unit reported that Kato had a "very nice disposition ... [but] inadequate instincts or courage to protect his territory, owner or himself." |
| Still, given the barking and the mistakes in the coroner's report, Marcia concludes: |
| That dog, it seemed, had a better handle on the time of death than the coroner did. |
"From Ghoulies and Ghosties |
Inside the Rockingham Estate: Kato Kaelin, is lying on his bed and still on phone with Ferrara [she varifies] hears three thumps and a picture moves. He asks Ferrara if they had an "earthquake". Both Rachel & Kato testify it is 10:40; But when talking to Detective Fuhrman, Kaelin set the time at 10:45.
Upstairs, Simpson is in the shower; he thinks he hears buzzer. Getting no response, Park drives to the Rockingham Gate.
Ring to push ratio is NOT one-to-one.
Pushing the gate button triggers a series of rings.
Marcia Clark never explained how the KILLER could be in two places at same time.
| F. LEE BAILEY : "I am saying they did not have enough proof to show that O.J. Simpson and no one else committed this crime because I listened with fascination to the jurors talk about what was important to them. And what apparently wasn't important to them because it was never mentioned, was the fact that on the evidence of this case, O.J. Simpson never had the time to commit these murders -- leave his home, come back, get cleaned up, hide everything so that it's never been found, and get in that limousine. It simply wasn't there and to aggravate it. Mr. Petrocelli pushed the time of the killing for a while, from 10:35 to 10:45, making it now only most unlikely that O.J. did it, but impossible." |
{WaD, pp 35} "Goldman had injuries to the neck, back, head, hands, thighs. He'd apparently put up a fierce struggle."
[per "KILLING TIME"] Sydney Simpson also hears the "Hey, Hey, Hey" and while at the station tells the police. Had it been her father's voice, she should have been able to identify it.
[time] Aaronson's roommate comes home -- Mandel {her dinner date} is still there.
At Rockingham, Allan Park backs Limo around to Rockingham Gate -- NO BRONCO "I WOULD HAVE SAW IT IF IT WAS THERE."; checking the driveway, Park sees TWO DARK CARS. One is Bentley, the other, parked in Arnelle Simpson's location is apparently her car which is photographed in that location the next day. Park Three minutes later...
| The killer had waged a merciless assault against an unarmed, unsuspecting victim, a victim who was rapidly trapped in a cagelike corner of metal fencing and slaughtered. Whether the motive was sexual jealousy or need to eliminate a witness, this killer had made a ruthless determination: Ron Goldman would die. |
| Contrast this to the death of Nicole |
|---|
| While Goldman's wounds suggested that the killer had been in a frenzy to kill him,. Nicole's did not. The attack had been swift, smooth, and efficient. There were no hesitation marks, no half cuts or superficial throat wounds that might have shown uncertainty. Her killer did not romance the deed. Nicole had apparently been sweept up, thrown down, slashed at the throat, and dropped at the foot of the steps. |
| Marcia's view has Nicole as the prime target. Nicole's friend Ron Hardy had told authorities that the intercome controlling the front gate lock was broken. To allow a visitor access, Ncole had to go out and open the gate. But we don't know why the control was broken. Since it was broken, she was either outside to unlock the gate in expectation of Ron Goldman's arrival; or was responding to the buzzer in expectation of it being Ron.
We have two logical possibilities. Both indicating the lady of the house was the target. During the trial, and civil depositions, much was made of a missing key and the possibility that Simpson had taken it. This introduces another problem: Why was Nicole outside?
|
--- Simpson expects Limousine to arrive for a 10:45 pickup.
--- The "earthquake" time Fuhrman was given by Kaelin.
Several pieces of evidence -- secondary to the murders -- were never explained. These concern Kato the Akita, Nicole's dog.
We know there were literally gallons of blood around Nicole. Dogs have another instinctive habit. When wet, they shake the liquid off. This would account for the blood splatters. It is an action which generates significant "disturbance" -- sufficient to scatter some fine trace elements {hair, dirt, blood); some of which would have landed in locations where forensic collections were later done. |
At the Civil Proceding, Brian Kaelin testified he heard the noise at around 10:50. While this contradicts his Criminal Trial Testimony -- which had been corraboraterd by Rachel Farrara, it is consistant with his "Kato says OJ did it" appearance on GERALDO.
[On March 23rd, Marcia Clark repeats the testimony to the Court, in this exchange:- "MS. CLARK: OKAY. FOR THE RECORD, THE WITNESS HAS INDICATED HE WALKED SOUTH ON THE DRIVEWAY OVER TO THE GARAGE AREA, MADE A LEFT AT THE CORNER OF THE GARAGE AND WALKED IN ON THAT SOUTH PATHWAY A SHORT DISTANCE.
THE COURT: YES."
THE COURT: YES."
Moments later, at 10:54, Allan Park Sees BOTH Simpson and Kaelin.
Marcia Clark Lies in her Summation
Schwab has taken charge of AKITA, at corner of Dorothy & Bundy. Akita follows him and barks at doorway of each house.
In the intrum, Allan Park sees SIMPSON going towards the entry door to house. Park estimates thses concurrant events to be 30 seconds before call ends.
Park conculdes call to St. John. thirty seconds later, Park again buzzes. Simpson answers, says -- he overslept & just got out of shower, "be down in a minute."
Private eye Bill Pavelic, who works for Simpson, suggests that the bloody paw prints heading down Bundy Drive might indicate that Nicole Simpson's Akita was chasing after the killer. If so, that would undercut the prosecution's murder scenario, which had Simpson dashing out the back gate into his waiting Bronco.
- Stephanie Simon, Los Angeles Times, 12 June 1996Aaronson's other roommate returns home -- Mandel is still there.
-- [time] Mandel leaves Aaronson's Apartment -- reports no unusal sounds.
-- Fenjves returns to bed, testifies he hears same dog barking, possibly past 11:40PM.
[time] Heidstra is in his apartment, 11 o'clock NEWS just starting. Simpson brings out designer bag and sets it down. Golf clubs already out. Simpson goes back into house for cellphone on kitchen counter.
While Kaelin & Park talk, Simpson goes to Bronco, which explains the timing and appearance of the blood drops connecting the Front Door to the Bronco.
- Many players lose alot of feeling in their hands as well and that could be one reason why OJ Simpson could have cut himself and not know he was bleeding.
| Coroner's report states: The decedent 94-05136 was last known to be alive at about 2300 hrs. speaking to her mother on the telephone. 2300 hrs, or 11:00 PM. |
Rosa Lopez hears Kaelin, Park and Simpson talking.
Exiting Rockingham, Park sees vehicle to his left; to his right THERE WERE NO CARS -- where the Bronco is found the next day. THE BRONCO ISN'T THERE.
[verified] Ferrara receives call from Kaelin -- they talk about "earthquake". Park testifies that they left between 11:05 & 11:15.
[phone bill] Kaelin is back on phone to Ferrara.
At Bundy, [11:30-11:40] Pablo Fenjves continues to hear the same dog wailing.
Clark tells us of Suku's arrival {page 67} ... home to his apartment on Montana Avenue---only about six hundred feet from the crime scene---around 11:40 PM. He found his upstairs neighbor sitting with a big white Akita.
Six hundred feet -- about two city blocks from the crime scene.
