Killing Time: The First Full Investigation into the Unsolved Murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman
This compelling investigation into the unsolved murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman focuses on the time-frame when the murders occurred - the "killing time," sometime between 10 PM and 11 PM, June 12, 1994. In a groundbreaking scientific forensic investigation, material from the crime scene is analyzed to produce different scenarios of the murders, each with its own timeline of evidence and players, some involving O. J. Simpson in the murders, some not.
The narrative begins with a review of the trial, the evidence, and the partisan theories of the Prosecution and Defense; then moves minute-by-minute through new retellings of the murders. Woven throughout are interviews, explosive information, and signs of both conspiracy and cover-up, from what the lawyers didn't tell you and the press didn't report, to insights from a "deep throat" source within law enforcement, to evidence of organized crime in Brentwood.
Only after you have considered all the scenarios will you be able to decide for yourself whether the case is open or closed. For those wanting to develop their own scenarios, new leads and a blank timeline are provided.

The tagline at the very top of this book reads ˆWho Murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman?ˆ No, really: WHO? This book does a fine job of exploring multiple timelines, based on factual, temporal markers that the authors call "clocks." The other information comes from the witnesses, who were held to unreasonable strictures of time by the Prosecution. No, really, who killed Nicole and Ron??? This book wants you to decide for yourself, and I don't want to think about it anymore, I just want someone to tell me definitively. This is approximately the 28th book I've read on the "O.J. matter," and the conspiracies, the hearsay, the conjecture and the mudslinging is getting to me. If everyone had simply acted honestly, professionally and ethically in this circus freakshow we wouldn't have to listen to accusations of Ron being involved with drugs and Nicole's memory being disparaged despite the fact that she was brutally and unfairly murdered. This book is scientific and well-organized but I think it raised my blood pressure. P.S. Whether Fuhrman planted evidence or not, the guy's a lying dirtbag.

A re-examination of the evidence and a possible new direction of inquiry…
The OJ Simpson murder trial was a media circus that captivated the Nation for eleven months in 1995. Simpson was charged with two accounts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. The two were brutally stabbed and slashed to death at Nicole’s Brentwood home on Bundy Drive.
With blood evidence and DNA, the Prosecutors felt that they had an open and shut case. Yet mishandling of evidence and the specter of racism from an investigating officer, expertly handled by OJ’s “Dream Team” of attorneys led by Johnnie Cochran produced enough reasonable doubt for an acquittal.
This is a re-examination of the evidence, but not geared towards proving OJ’s guilt or innocence. Instead, the evidence is simply presented and ran through a number of scenarios. The evidence is presented with cases that suggest OJ was innocent, that he was guilty, that he had an accomplice, that he was on scene but not involved, and best of all, that someone else might have actually been responsible.
I found the book extremely interesting and found myself questioning my own opinions on this case. There is no question that reasonable doubt was proven, and in that case, an acquittal was the only choice the jury could make. Yet the question remains if not OJ himself, then who? The authors invite the reader to draw his or her own conclusions.
I give the book five stars!

Mostly focuses on various timelines proposed by the prosecution, the defense, and other theories about how/exactly when the murders were committed. Contains a list a threats, a car robbery (not mentioned in this book but Kardashian also had a gun stolen from him), offices being broken into and killings happening around Simpson, Brown, and Goldman that shows this entire event was extremely sinister.

This book was so full of ridiculous "what ifs" that it was hard to take seriously!
