OJ Simpson Didn’t Act Alone In Nicole Brown And Ronald Goldman Killings, FBI Profiler Claims
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
OJ Simpson might not have been alone during the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, at least according to former FBI profiler Jim Clemente.
Clemente, who used to be a prosecutor in New York before profiling for the FBI, brought up the theory on a podcast with media host Tom Zenner and Kato Kaelin, the guy famously staying in Simpson’s guest house when the murders happened.
Back in October 1995, an LA jury found Simpson not guilty of the murders, though a civil court later held him legally responsible for both deaths. Simpson always insisted he had nothing to do with it right up until he died of cancer in 2024 at 76.
FBI Profiler Points To Goldman’s Injuries
Clemente pointed to Goldman’s defensive wounds as one reason he believes another person may have taken part in the attack.
Goldman suffered several wounds to his legs. Clemente said the injuries suggested that someone may have restrained Goldman while another attacker used a knife.
“With the cuts in his jeans, in his pants that he was wearing at the time, the knife wounds could only have been made if both of his legs were elevated and bent and straightened out like he was kicking,” Clemente said.
He then explained his theory.
“And the only way that we behaviorally could figure out how that could happen is if somebody has him in a bear hug from behind and he’s being stabbed by somebody in the front.”
Clemente also pointed out that Goldman didn’t have the usual defensive cuts or bruises on his arms. Because of that, he thinks someone might have pinned Goldman’s arms down while Goldman tried kicking to defend himself.
He gave another reason why Simpson might have brought someone else along, too. Brown’s two young children were asleep in the house, and Clemente believes Simpson feared they might wake up during the killings.
Clemente doesn’t buy the theory that this was a sudden crime of passion. He believes someone planned the attack in advance and deliberately targeted Brown.
Goldman had only stopped by Brown’s house to drop off a pair of glasses she’d left behind at a restaurant. Clemente thinks Goldman just happened to show up at the worst possible time while the attack was already going on.
Clemente said he has “a pretty good idea” who may have helped Simpson but did not name the person.
A separate upcoming Peacock documentary also explores claims that Simpson had an accomplice. The theory centers on the late Joey Ippolito Jr., whom some have linked to the killings. The claims remain disputed, and no court has established that Simpson had an accomplice.
