INNOCENT SIMPSON
|
||
|
================
|
||
|
By Brian F. Redman
|
||
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
So you think you know about the O.J. Simpson case. So did I, but
|
||
|
when I began to look into it a bit I found that the more I
|
||
|
looked, the more there was. We know that the jury found O.J.
|
||
|
"not guilty". But what if, what if -- suppose that Simpson is
|
||
|
actually innocent?
|
||
|
|
||
|
The case has been called "the trial of the century". But there
|
||
|
have been quite a few "trials of the century" in the last 96
|
||
|
years. How about the 1906 Stanford White murder trial? Or the
|
||
|
trial of Fatty Arbuckle in 1921? Or the Lindbergh Kidnapping
|
||
|
Trial? Then in 1951, there was the trial of Ethel and Julius
|
||
|
Rosenberg. And the trial of Jack Ruby. And the Manson case.
|
||
|
Also, there was the Leopold and Loeb trial, with attorney
|
||
|
Clarence Darrow for the defense. Darrow also was at another
|
||
|
"trial of the century", the Scopes Monkey Trial. Or what about
|
||
|
the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti?
|
||
|
|
||
|
One thing all our "trials of the century" have in common is that,
|
||
|
as time passes, additional facts come to light. For example in
|
||
|
the case of Sacco and Vanzetti, they were executed in 1927 and
|
||
|
then pardoned by President Carter in the late 1970s. So it looks
|
||
|
like somebody goofed! So too with the Lindbergh kidnapping case:
|
||
|
folks were certain at the time that Bruno Hauptman did it, but
|
||
|
now, decades later, they're not so sure after all. In an
|
||
|
exclusive article written for "Conspiracy for the Day"
|
||
|
(predecessor of "Conspiracy Nation"), Carol Wallace told us that
|
||
|
in 1993, "two books came out claiming that there never had been a
|
||
|
kidnapping; that Lindbergh and his family were actually covering
|
||
|
up a killing." Two theories were argued: "The first, presented
|
||
|
in Noel Behn's *Lindbergh: The Crime*, is that the child was
|
||
|
murdered by Anne Lindbergh's sister, Elizabeth Morrow." In the
|
||
|
second theory, put forward in the book *Crime of the Century* by
|
||
|
Ahlgren and Monier, it is charged that the Lindbergh baby died
|
||
|
inadvertantly, as the result of one of Charles Lindbergh's
|
||
|
"practical jokes". [Wallace]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Two things can be said with certainty: one, that in the coming
|
||
|
years, many new books will be written about the O.J. Simpson case
|
||
|
and, two, that as the years go by, more and more facts regarding
|
||
|
it will surface. I offer one other prediction: that when, years
|
||
|
or even decades later, the truth about this case is known, that
|
||
|
the public will have been led along, childlike, to the next
|
||
|
circus and will no longer care about the Simpson case. "Sacco
|
||
|
and Vanzetti? Who were they??"
|
||
|
|
||
|
At present, the waters are murky surrounding the Simpson case.
|
||
|
It is a puzzle that does not add up, no matter which side you
|
||
|
favor, guilty or innocent. Yes, the DNA from specks of blood did
|
||
|
match that of O.J. But reading the autopsy report we find that
|
||
|
this was a ferocious crime. Ron Goldman's autopsy report shows a
|
||
|
"transection of [the] left internal jugular vein... multiple stab
|
||
|
wounds of chest, abdomen, and left thigh: Penetrating stab
|
||
|
wounds of chest and abdomen... Multiple incised wounds of scalp,
|
||
|
face, neck, chest..." [Autopsy Report 94-05135]. Nicole Brown
|
||
|
Simpson's autopsy report shows an "incised wound of [the] neck"
|
||
|
with "[t]ransection of left and right common carotid arteries...
|
||
|
Incisions, left and right internal jugular veins... Incision
|
||
|
into cervical spine... Multiple stab wound of neck and scalp
|
||
|
(total of seven)." [Autopsy Report 94-05136]. Nicole Brown
|
||
|
Simpson had been nearly decapitated [Resnick, 16]. Not only are
|
||
|
we talking about quite a lot of blood here, but furthermore, a
|
||
|
decapitation is not that easy to do, especially with a supposed
|
||
|
knife. See, for example, what seems beyond doubt to be the diary
|
||
|
of "Jack the Ripper" where he writes that "I was more than vexed
|
||
|
when the head would not come off. I believe I will need more
|
||
|
strength next time." [Harrison, 70] Yes, you may say, but
|
||
|
Simpson is a powerful ex-football player. Ah, I would then
|
||
|
reply, but the "Ripper" was supercharged with arsenic when he did
|
||
|
his evil deeds. So what, you might say, Simpson may have been
|
||
|
supercharged with cocaine. But what about the relative lack of
|
||
|
blood found trailing away from the scene? The "Ripper" notes in
|
||
|
his diary that he has "not allowed for the red stuff, gallons of
|
||
|
it in my estimation. Some of it is bound to spill onto me. I
|
||
|
cannot allow my clothes to be blood drenched..." [Harrison, 291]
|
||
|
To that you might answer that the "Ripper" diary has not been
|
||
|
confirmed as authentic beyond doubt and so any argument based on
|
||
|
it is suspect. Okay, I could then come back, then how about
|
||
|
Alexander Cockburn, writing in The Nation, where he casts doubt
|
||
|
on Simpson having been the perpetrator due to the impossible
|
||
|
"time line":
|
||
|
|
||
|
Simpson, the prosecution argued, had six minutes between
|
||
|
return from the murder and entry into the limo to get rid
|
||
|
of his bloody clothes, dump the weapon, take a shower and
|
||
|
present himself as a relatively calm person. Try doing
|
||
|
it. [Cockburn, 491]
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
You, of course, might come back with........ And so on. My
|
||
|
point is that, at the moment, this case is unsolved. True, the
|
||
|
L.A.P.D. have folded their arms, gone into their pouting corner,
|
||
|
and declared that the case is solved. And if you are the sort
|
||
|
who is satisfied to just "trust the authorities" then that saves
|
||
|
you the trouble of thinking. But for the thinking reader, the
|
||
|
bottom line is that this case does not add up!! At the moment,
|
||
|
it most definitely is an "unsolved mystery". It is a classic
|
||
|
"whodunit", a Sherlock Holmes mystery, a puzzle. Those who
|
||
|
prefer not to use the grey matter between their ears unless they
|
||
|
really have to will exclaim, "Gee whiz! Why can't you quit
|
||
|
asking questions!" But readers of Conspiracy Nation, I think,
|
||
|
are likely to be intrigued by a little puzzle, a little "mental
|
||
|
exercise".
|
||
|
|
||
|
But be forewarned: as of now, the waters are murky. It may take
|
||
|
years before we solve this one.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here are some pieces of the puzzle:
|
||
|
|
||
|
-+- Faye Resnick -+-
|
||
|
|
||
|
To hear Faye Resnick tell the tale, O.J. was a Jekyll and Hyde
|
||
|
sort, fooling the world but not those who knew him well. In an
|
||
|
incident which, according to Resnick, occured in May of 1993, we
|
||
|
see the ex-football star turn into "the Wolfman": "O.J.'s face
|
||
|
twitched uncontrollably. His body language was extremely
|
||
|
aggressive. Horrified, I watched as sweat poured down his face.
|
||
|
The veins in his neck bulged. His cheekbones bunched up,
|
||
|
twitching beneath his skin." Ooohh! Scarey stuff, kids! "Count
|
||
|
Floyd" of Second City TV fame would be impressed. Resnick
|
||
|
alleges that she then hid in the ladies room of the "trendy
|
||
|
restaurant" she, Nicole and O.J. were at. But then, she says,
|
||
|
O.J. kicked down the door and urinated there, in her presence, in
|
||
|
the ladies room! Finally, she says, the L.A.P.D. showed up and
|
||
|
fawned all over big football hero Simpson. [Resnick, 9-13]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Anyway, so the story goes, Nicole, subsequent to her divorce from
|
||
|
O.J., began to practice "random acts of kindness" on strangers --
|
||
|
i.e., she began to surprise various men by giving them impromptu
|
||
|
blow jobs. For example, Nicole is said to have one time "slipped
|
||
|
out of the living room and into [a stranger's] bedroom. He was
|
||
|
sleeping, so without taking off her clothes, Nicole gently pushed
|
||
|
the covers aside and teased him into an erection. Without
|
||
|
suggesting that she wanted anything in return, she gave him what
|
||
|
she later described as 'a lovely surprise -- the blow-job of his
|
||
|
life.'" [46]
|
||
|
|
||
|
But it turns out that O.J. supposedly began to be hiding in the
|
||
|
bushes and watching some of these "lovely surprises"! [47 & 182]
|
||
|
Not only did O.J. have a problem with intensely possessive
|
||
|
jealousy, according to Resnick, but he also apparently had a
|
||
|
cocaine problem. [88 & 120] Resnick even believes that Simpson
|
||
|
may have hired detectives to follow Nicole and spy on her. [134]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Most of Faye Resnick's book, *Nicole Brown Simpson: The Private
|
||
|
Diary of a Life Interrupted*, would be better served by a title
|
||
|
such as Lives of the Vapid and Meaningless. The book lets us all
|
||
|
in on the lives of petty Hollywood types, torn between the ennui
|
||
|
they suffer while lying on beaches in Mexico and the ennui they
|
||
|
suffer when the latest pop psychology just doesn't seem to help.
|
||
|
I am reminded of a line from the movie, "True Stories," where one
|
||
|
of the characters says, "These aren't people I want to know --
|
||
|
not in this life!" The book also has a big flaw in that its
|
||
|
veracity depends on how credible Faye Resnick is. She rarely
|
||
|
offers any corroboration for her statements. True, she does
|
||
|
bring in a National Enquirer article as backup at one point
|
||
|
[150]. But most of the time the reader has to just trust that
|
||
|
she is telling the truth. What if Resnick is lying? Or what if,
|
||
|
as would be normal, she is offering a one-sided version of the
|
||
|
marital conflict between Orenthal and Nicole?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Resnick's basic story on the murder is that O.J. had a split
|
||
|
persona: fooling the world but underneath a potential total
|
||
|
maniac. She tells us that, on several occasions, Nicole had
|
||
|
confided in her the fear that her sometime husband was going to
|
||
|
kill her some day. [144 & 164] She next tells us that O.J.
|
||
|
himself has told Resnick that he may murder Nicole. [173] Things
|
||
|
become more ominous as O.J. begins "stalking" his ex-wife [181]
|
||
|
and then finally Resnick gets the news that her friend Nicole has
|
||
|
been murdered. To the casual reader, the conclusion seems
|
||
|
obvious: O.J. did it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
But how believable is Resnick? Her book is extraordinarily
|
||
|
one-sided: O.J. Simpson is the "villain" and Nicole is the "free
|
||
|
spirit" being tyrannized by male domination. No marital conflict
|
||
|
is ever that simple, with one side all good and the other all
|
||
|
bad, yet that is what Resnick is trying to put forward in her
|
||
|
book. What is more, she has had a long-lasting drug problem:
|
||
|
"Over the past eight years, she has twice done stints at the
|
||
|
Betty Ford Center, and in June of last year, the week before
|
||
|
Nicole's murder, she did check into the Exodus Recovery
|
||
|
Center..." [Toobin, 33] So her recollections come to us through
|
||
|
a drug-induced haze.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This book by Resnick is slick: it pushes all the fashionable
|
||
|
feminist buttons and is assured of winning a following among the
|
||
|
man-hating branch of the womyn's movement. The author lays her
|
||
|
snares well. Right from the start we are introduced to the Devil
|
||
|
-- O.J. Simpson starring as THE MALE OPPRESSOR. "[Nicole] never
|
||
|
had a chance. Standing between her and the mastery of not just
|
||
|
her life, but the lives of her two children, was ex-husband and
|
||
|
father, O.J. Simpson." [Resnick, 6] We find out that O.J. had
|
||
|
never allowed his wife to smoke in public [27], that he routinely
|
||
|
ascribed Nicole's grievances to PMS ("Oh, you're just having your
|
||
|
period.") [170], that he began "stalking" Nicole [181], and even
|
||
|
that he is to blame for Resnick's cocaine problem! [187]. High
|
||
|
crimes in the feminist pantheon!
|
||
|
|
||
|
True, Simpson did physically abuse his wife, which is wrong. But
|
||
|
Resnick's account of the abuse does not match Simpson's account.
|
||
|
Here is a relevant excerpt from the police interrogation
|
||
|
conducted by Philip Vannatter and Thomas Lange:
|
||
|
|
||
|
VANNATTER: How long were you together?
|
||
|
SIMPSON: Seventeen years.
|
||
|
VANNATTER: Seventeen years. Did you ever hit her, O.J.?
|
||
|
SIMPSON: Ah, one night we had a fight. We had a fight and
|
||
|
she hit me. And they never took my statement, they never
|
||
|
wanted to hear my side, and they never wanted to hear the
|
||
|
housekeeper's side. Nicole was drunk. She did her thing,
|
||
|
she started tearing up my house, you know? I didn't punch
|
||
|
her or anything, but I...
|
||
|
VANNATTER: ...slapped her a couple of times.
|
||
|
SIMPSON: No, no, I wrestled her, is what I did. I didn't
|
||
|
slap her at all. I mean, Nicole's a strong girl. She's a...
|
||
|
one of the most conditioned women. Since that period of
|
||
|
time, she's hit me a few times, but I've never touched her
|
||
|
after that, and I'm telling you, it's five-six years ago.
|
||
|
[Star]
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Indeed, the London Telegraph concurs: "...the evidence is that
|
||
|
there was only one occasion when the couple's spats resulted in
|
||
|
actual physical harm -- a black eye for Nicole -- and that was
|
||
|
six years before the murder." [Electronic Telegraph]
|
||
|
|
||
|
But I don't want to get bogged down here with, "Which side is
|
||
|
telling the truth?" I suspect that each side is favoring their
|
||
|
own perceived interests in the particular slant they give to the
|
||
|
spousal abuse story. Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in the
|
||
|
middle. Time will tell.
|
||
|
|
||
|
What I do want to emphasize, as the London Telegraph pointed out
|
||
|
shortly after the "not guilty" verdict was handed down, is the
|
||
|
"pervasiveness of the 'a little learning is a dangerous thing'
|
||
|
syndrome. Most people, including those who would otherwise rely
|
||
|
on meticulous independent research, have based their reaction to
|
||
|
the Simpson case on press cuttings and sound bites." [ibid.]
|
||
|
Everything you "know" is wrong. The waters are deep here.
|
||
|
Forget about what Laurie Levinson or whatever her name is was
|
||
|
telling you night after night on the CBS Evening News. It is
|
||
|
going to be years before the truth emerges on this case.
|
||
|
|
||
|
-+- A Theory -+-
|
||
|
|
||
|
I offer in speculation my own thinking on the Resnick book.
|
||
|
Number one, it was fast out of the stall -- meaning that they
|
||
|
sure didn't waste any time writing it. Boom! October 1994, it's
|
||
|
published. Number two, Judge Lance Ito, "the gatekeeper",
|
||
|
suspended jury selection the day after the book came out. "The
|
||
|
firestorm immediately propelled Resnick's book to the No. 1 spot
|
||
|
on the New York Times best-seller list..." [Toobin, 33] Ito's
|
||
|
reaction to the book seems to have helped its sales -- did Ito
|
||
|
realize that the "firestorm" might help the book's sales? This
|
||
|
book went on the fast track to the minds of those closely
|
||
|
following the case. It had a major influence on the public's
|
||
|
first impressions of the case.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Number three, the book is loaded with "red flags" for thinkers of
|
||
|
the feminist persuasion. O.J. the "male oppressor", the "wife
|
||
|
beater" who "stalked" his "free spirited" ex-wife who was
|
||
|
desperately trying to establish her independent selfhood. O.J.
|
||
|
wouldn't allow her to smoke in public. O.J. used to attack
|
||
|
Nicole's assertiveness with claims that "It's just your period."
|
||
|
Read the book. You'll see that the snares are laid well. It's
|
||
|
no surprise that many women have become enraged at O.J. after
|
||
|
reading it -- so enraged that, in some cases, it has clouded
|
||
|
their judgement.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This book is a false trail. It is meant to divert you from a
|
||
|
possible and plausible alternative scenario as to what this
|
||
|
double murder really involved. The public has purposely been led
|
||
|
to become so distracted in their outrage at the spousal abuse
|
||
|
that they do not see a second angle in this case.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This case absolutely reeks of drugs. Why aren't you aware of
|
||
|
that angle? The answer is partly that you haven't been told (not
|
||
|
to the extent that you've been told about the spousal abuse) and
|
||
|
partly because you have been led on a "wild goose chase".
|
||
|
Sherman Skolnick, veteran investigator with the Citizens'
|
||
|
Committee to Clean Up the Courts, in Chicago, tells us that "one
|
||
|
of Nicole's girlfriends" owed $300,000 to dope traffickers. [CN
|
||
|
6.24] Hmmm.... I wonder which girlfriend that could be? Defense
|
||
|
lawyer Johnnie Cochran had hinted that "four men may have
|
||
|
followed [Ron] Goldman to the murder scene." [Toobin, 32] "The
|
||
|
most compelling, if sinister, possibility is that the defense may
|
||
|
suggest that Resnick's drug use had a role in Nicole's murder."
|
||
|
[ibid.]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Because Resnick was on drugs, she would have needed to purchase
|
||
|
them illegally. An illegal drug habit can get quite expensive.
|
||
|
It is well-known that those who become hooked on drugs often find
|
||
|
themselves forced to turn to crime to support their habit -- the
|
||
|
sums of money needed can be that tremendous. Mr. Skolnick
|
||
|
contends that celebrities are often given dope on credit and can
|
||
|
run up quite a tab. [CN 6.23] Consider that Resnick may have
|
||
|
found herself heavily in debt. In such a case, drug dealers do
|
||
|
not hire a collection agency to get their money.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Resnick moved in with Nicole Brown Simpson on or about June 3rd
|
||
|
of 1994 [Toobin, 32] There are indications, as noted, that she
|
||
|
was massively in debt to potentially vicious drug dealers. So
|
||
|
what does she do? She hides out at a drug treatment facility on
|
||
|
June 8th. On June 12th, a person or persons brutally murder, at
|
||
|
Nicole's residence, both Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We find that after these murders, Resnick is "paranoid". She is
|
||
|
afraid that she is going to be killed. [34] Allegedly $300,000
|
||
|
in debt, she leaves the drug treatment facility and teams up with
|
||
|
Mike Walker of The National Enquirer to write a book. They hide
|
||
|
out in Vermont, all the way on the other side of the American
|
||
|
continent. While there, Resnick is still "paranoid". [35] The
|
||
|
book is hurriedly completed, Resnick has been paid some in
|
||
|
advance and now the money really begins to roll in. We can
|
||
|
presume that, if she were massively in debt to drug dealers, she
|
||
|
would have been sure to pay them back by this point.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Resnick's book also serves to turn attention away from the drug
|
||
|
angle by focusing on spousal abuse. The National Organization of
|
||
|
Women and others of their ilk seized on the opportunity offered
|
||
|
to educate the public about the problem. More attention was
|
||
|
focused on the wife beating angle.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Perhaps too, there would be certain persons in high places in Los
|
||
|
Angeles and elsewhere who would prefer that the possibility of
|
||
|
drugs being the motivator for the murders not be too closely
|
||
|
looked into -- especially considering that this is a very high
|
||
|
profile case and that there will be a lot of coverage. So
|
||
|
Resnick's book would suit them fine and they would give it their
|
||
|
blessing. Far better to focus on spousal abuse than on possible
|
||
|
corruption in the "War on Drugs".
|
||
|
|
||
|
As I say, just a theory. It will be years before we really know
|
||
|
what happened. But for now, it is worth noting that O.J. Simpson
|
||
|
himself sees something in a Resnick connection to the double
|
||
|
murder: "I know in my heart that the answer to the death of
|
||
|
Nicole and Mr. Goldman lies somewhere in the world that Faye
|
||
|
Resnick inhabited," he writes. [Simpson, 194]
|
||
|
|
||
|
-+- Judge Lance Ito -+-
|
||
|
|
||
|
Judge Lance Ito functioned as the "gatekeeper" in this trial. It
|
||
|
was he who decided what testimony and evidence would or would not
|
||
|
be allowed. The defense wanted to contend that the double murder
|
||
|
was a "drug hit" but Ito wouldn't allow that line of argument.
|
||
|
[CNN Presents] Yet, off the record, Drug Enforcement
|
||
|
Administration officials have told Chicago researcher Skolnick
|
||
|
that they know the murders "were perpetrated by a dope reprisal
|
||
|
gang." [CN, 6.13] I have double-checked that these murders were
|
||
|
most likely a "dope hit": in a conversation on October 18, 1995
|
||
|
with ex-NYPD Vice Squad detective Jimmy Rothstein, he told me
|
||
|
that his sources confirm that that is what happened.
|
||
|
Additionally, one can surmise just from reading the autopsy
|
||
|
reports and with no special expertise that it is more likely that
|
||
|
the murders were done by multiple perpetrators than by a single
|
||
|
individual.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Judge Ito, according to Skolnick, was initially connected in some
|
||
|
way to the trial of the "Hollywood madame," Heidi Fleiss. What
|
||
|
is more, this information ought to be fairly easy to corroborate
|
||
|
(but unfortunately, as we go to press, I have not yet found time
|
||
|
to double-check this.) Heidi Fleiss, you may recall, was
|
||
|
widely-reported to have a "little black book," said to contain
|
||
|
the names of prominent persons, including politicians. "A lot of
|
||
|
people are afraid of me." says Fleiss, "And they should be.
|
||
|
Leaders of countries called me and asked for sex. You look at
|
||
|
any picture of a politician with some girls around him and at
|
||
|
least three of them will be mine... If I really came out and
|
||
|
talked I could have stopped NAFTA." [Hirschberg, 90]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Skolnick says that Ito, reportedly, somehow got hold of Heidi
|
||
|
Fleiss' "little black book." This is uncorroborated at this
|
||
|
point. However it is worth noting that mention of this book
|
||
|
disappeared. When Fleiss first was arrested, there was much talk
|
||
|
of "Wait until they give out the names she has." Whatever
|
||
|
happened in that? Why did that story go away?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ito also was involved in the trial of Charles Keating, Jr., the
|
||
|
S&L crook. [Glines, 28] He served as assistant district attorney
|
||
|
in Los Angeles, "prosecuting those involved in gang-related
|
||
|
crimes." [27] He eventually was assigned to the organized crime
|
||
|
and intelligence division. [28] Judge Ito is married to Margaret
|
||
|
York, a captain in the Los Angeles Police Department who once
|
||
|
headed their Internal Affairs department, responsible for
|
||
|
investigating police corruption.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Judge Lance Ito: Mystery Man. A theory seems to be that he, for
|
||
|
unknown reasons, gently steered the trial away from certain
|
||
|
areas. [CN 6.48] But why? Was he just acting on orders that he
|
||
|
must absolutely keep a lid on things? Or did he have personal
|
||
|
reasons for avoiding certain areas of inquiry?

-+- Suspicious Deaths -+-
|
||
|
|
||
|
The blockbuster name here is Michael Nigg. Unfortunately I have
|
||
|
been unable to corroborate any information about him. He is
|
||
|
supposed to have been a fellow waiter and friend of Ron Goldman.
|
||
|
Nigg, allegedly, was brutally murdered in September of 1995.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Thus far I have been unable to verify the alleged death of Robin
|
||
|
Clark, a reporter covering the Simpson trial who is supposed to
|
||
|
have been killed in a suspicious traffic accident.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Antranik Geuvjehehizian, a bailiff in the Simpson trial, was
|
||
|
murdered the evening of July 18, 1995. The death of this bailiff
|
||
|
was scheduled to be a featured segment on the October 27, 1995
|
||
|
NBC program, "Unsolved Mysteries." However, the segment did not
|
||
|
air as planned. I called to inquire as to why, but could not get
|
||
|
a definite answer. It seemed as if there was an "unsolved
|
||
|
mystery" as to why the segment was pulled. The segment did air,
|
||
|
unannounced, two weeks later on November 10, 1995.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The murder of Geuvjehehizian, nicknamed "Deputy G-12," occured at
|
||
|
about 9:30 pm. He and his wife were taking out the garbage.
|
||
|
Mrs. Vicki Geuvjehehizian spotted a masked man in the adjoining
|
||
|
yard. She alerted her husband and then ran back into their
|
||
|
garage. In the meantime, the masked man, for unknown reasons,
|
||
|
came toward Deputy G-12 and shot him in the chest. Although
|
||
|
police arrived within minutes, the killer vanished.
|
||
|
|
||
|
-+- Conclusions -+-
|
||
|
|
||
|
At this point there are no conclusions, except that we don't have
|
||
|
all the facts and that the facts we have don't add up. I will
|
||
|
try to pry loose an exact date for when Nigg's death was printed
|
||
|
and in what, if any, newspaper this was in. As new information
|
||
|
comes to light, I will try to pass it along. The only valid
|
||
|
conclusion at this point is that on this, as on so many other
|
||
|
news items of the day, we remain uninformed.
