Football star O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder charges in the death of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman back in 1995, but it sounds like there could be new evidence against him including a possible confession.
According to a report from TMZ, police claim they have reason to believe they have a recording of O.J. Simpson confessing to the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
“According to a new search warrant, obtained by TMZ, cops in Minnesota say they have a thumb drive they were told has a recording of O.J. admitting to the double murder of Nicole and Ron,” TMZ wrote on Tuesday.
“In the warrant, cops say they seized a backpack containing multiple thumb drives from a man named Iroc Avelli as part of an investigation in a separate case. Avelli is Simpson’s former bodyguard,” TMZ continued. “The docs say Avelli was arrested in March 2022 and police executed a search warrant to collect evidence, including a green backpack with live ammunition and other items.
“Bloomington PD in Minnesota says in June 2024 — 2 months after O.J. died — they got a call from an LAPD detective who advised that Avelli and his attorney met with LAPD and told cops inside the green backpack was a thumb drive with the recording of O.J.’s confession.”
Needless to say, the possibility of a confession tape sparked a lot of reactions from people in the comments of the story.
“Who didn’t know he really did it? I felt horrible for the victims’ families when he was found not guilty. I never saw a case where a suspect got off, causing such a division amongst the public. the time to speak up has long passed. it should have been revealed back then!” one person wrote in the comments on NewsBreak.
“Don’t need to hear the recording to know the man was a murderer. Cops and prosecution screwed that case up BIGLY!!” another person claimed.
“I don’t need to hear a confession. It was clear to me he did it,” another person wrote.
“Let the public hear the tapes to get some closure and prove to the jury their verdict was wrong,” someone else added.
“Whats the point? we all know he did it,” another person wrote.
Simpson passed away earlier this year after a battle with cancer.
