The authenticity of the messages and the identity of who sent them couldn’t immediately be verified, and messages to the handle weren’t returned. The videos posted by show that the messages it received came from Simpson’s account, which he created last week. Other content on the parody page includes a pinned tweet of a Father’s Day video that Simpson, 71, posted on Saturday - with added audio of someone repeatedly screaming “Police! Help!” in the background. The videos show seven direct messages sent to whose parody account features a crudely doctored profile photo of Simpson grinning while holding a butcher knife in a black-gloved hand. L.A.Um yeah, Just sent this scary ass DM treating me to delete my parody account. Simpson case: DNA test should show if it’s evidence or another false start Twitter: Simpson is ‘a little worried’ knife could affect his parole, friend says See more of our top stories on Facebook > “It doesn’t strike me as the knife we know about that matches the theories of the coroner during the trial,” Levenson said. Some have questioned whether a buck knife could have been used. Two of the cuts, he added, appeared to have been the result of Goldman’s assailant drawing the knife across the victim’s throat threateningly while holding him still.Īlthough some of Goldman’s wounds suggest that he put up a fight, he succumbed to the ferocious assault, slumping near a fence outside Nicole Brown Simpson’s condominium, Sathyavagiswaran said. Sathyavagiswaran said Goldman was stabbed and slashed to death and that all those wounds could have been caused by a single knife. “My opinion is that the head was extended backward and the knife was used to cause this incise slash, stab wound from the left to the right,” he told jurors a year after the killings. “My opinion is that Miss Brown was on the ground, face down, when this wound was inflicted,” he said. Sathyavagiswaran added that a double-edged knife could have caused some of the wounds, but he stressed that he saw no wounds that a single-edged weapon - about 6 inches long and 3/4 of an inch wide - could have caused. “The same, single-edged knife could have caused the injuries on both decedents,” Dr. County coroner said one knife could have been used in both killings. One with a straight edge and one with a serrated edge,” Carl Douglas, a member of Simpson’s “dream team” of lawyers, said in an interview.īut during the trial, the L.A. “There were indications that two different knives may have been used. Defense attorneys argued at least two knives were used, suggesting that meant there could have been two killers. The former officer’s attorney, Trent Copeland, described the weapon as a relatively small buck knife.Ĭould a small knife have been used in the killings?įrom the beginning, there was much dispute about how the killing occurred. Several LAPD sources say the knife appears not to be connected to the Simpson case. The officer said he got the knife in 2003. “They had the bloody glove, a gift they thought was from heaven and did not need anything more,” she said.īut during the trial, Simpson tried on one of the gloves, and in what would become a Perry Mason moment, it appeared not to fit him.Ī retired LAPD police officer recently turned in a knife that he said was given to him by a construction worker who helped raze Simpson’s mansion in 1998. Levenson said prosecutors felt they had a strong case because of two bloody gloves - one found at the crime scene and the other at Simpson’s Brentwood estate. “The knife was not the main focus of the trial both sides wrote off the murder weapon,” she said. “It’s the nuance that there were knives in Nicole’s kitchen,” Levenson said. But they did imply that Simpson could have grabbed one from his former wife’s home. Laurie Levenson, a Loyola law professor who watched the criminal trial, said prosecutors never identified the knife. Simpson was found not guilty, so the issue of another trial is moot.īut there still is major interest in the case, in part because so many people believe Simpson was the killer. In 1994, a woman discovered a kitchen knife smeared with red stains less than a block from Simpson’s home.Ī broken carving knife was discovered in a trash can at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, where Simpson went just after the slayings. Prosecutors in Simpson’s criminal trial never introduced it as evidence. Forensic tests later revealed that the knife was in pristine condition, with no scratches or bloodstains to suggest it had been used in the vicious double slaying. But the defense produced the knife - in an envelope that became known as the “mystery envelope” in the preliminary hearing.
