Nicole Brown Simpson, famous football player O.J. Simpson’s
ex-wife, and her friend Ron Goldman were brutally stabbed to
death outside Nicole’s home in Brentwood,
California, in what
quickly became one of the most highly publicized trials of the
century.

record of domestic violence towards Brown, O.J. Simpson

He was carrying his passport, a disguise, and $8,750 in cash.
