“If I did it”: “I was soaked in blood and holding a bloody knife, with Goldman and Nicole dead in front of me.” This is how O.J. Simpson describes himself in his book after brutally stabbing both Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman. It doesn’t matter if you’re a celebrity or an average guy on the street, crime can still be committed and still be charged in the same way. O.J.

This was used as a confession for O.J. for committing the crime. In the Joseph Simpson case the only evidence that was obtained was a granite rock used to kill the victim with his DNA on it, and a cigarette butt that had his DNA on it.
