I lived in LA in the 90s. I was working for a veterinary ophthalmologist and about a month before Nicole was murdered, she and OJ came in with her dog. I was used to seeing celebrities all the time, and they were rarely as beautiful looking in person as they were on the screen. But OJ was different. He was absolutely gorgeous and was just magnetic. Everyone in the office was in a tizzy. His death makes me sad again for all the tragedy he caused, but that is about it.

Via cancer, not knife-stabbing.

RIP Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.
I learned a lot about toxic relationships and the patterns of domestic violence from their murder trial so that's a positive I guess.

Hopefully they get a casket that fits.

I was just listening to the new Small Town Murder episode of a case in 1990s rural California (murder of two teen girls) that couldn't process DNA evidence because of O.J. Simpson. My condolences go to the cancer. CW: heart failure<3 Akebono Tarō, American-born Japanese sumo wrestler and professional wrestler (AJPW, NJPW) and kickboxer (K-1), dies of age 54.<3

I learned a lot about race relations. The O.J. Simpson trial was the first public event where I learned that I needed to parse my words. It seemed like it went on for months, and after a few weeks I just made up my mind I wasn't going to talk about it with anyone I didn't know well (and that I knew agreed with me). I believed he was guilty and I still do.

As a black person (the verdict was played during 8th grade chemistry class), I knew he was guilty and angry at the black classmates' "celebration" of a rich asshole literally getting away with murder. I truly hope there's healing for Justin and Sydney who've lost both parents in awful ways.

I truly hope there's healing for Justin and Sydney who've lost both parents in awful ways. I was dumbfounded at some of the reactions — and sickened that two innocent people, who were horrifically murdered were virtually forgotten. I feel for his kids and for the Brown and Goldman families, as this must bring up some painful memories. One thing I recall is the reaction of the Oprah audience. Some were literally dancing for joy. (I don’t follow Oprah or know a lot about her, but I was heartened that she looked pissed.)

Robert MacNeill, who covered the Watergate hearings and co-founded the long-running MacNeill-Lehrer News Hour (now the PBS Newshour) with the late Jim Lehrer, has passed at age 93.
