Ex-manager says O.J. Simpson confessed to his ex-wife's murder

Sat May 10, 1:26 PM

LOS ANGELES - A memorabilia dealer who profited from O.J. Simpson for many years is the latest former crony to write a tell-all book, this one alleging a groggy Simpson, high on marijuana, confessed to killing his ex-wife after he was acquitted.

Mike Gilbert also claims he helped his former friend wiggle out of the murder charges by suggesting how to bloat his hands so they wouldn't fit the notorious bloody gloves.

Gilbert's book, "How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse" (Regnery Publishing, 232 pages, $27.95), is due in stores Monday. It was released to The Associated Press in advance.

He said Simpson had smoked pot, took a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when he confided at his Brentwood home weeks after his trial what happened the night of June 12, 1994. Simpson said he went to his ex-wife's condominium, but did not bring a knife with him. Simpson told him Nicole Brown Simpson had one in her hand when she opened the door.

In a soft mumble, Simpson told him: "If she hadn't opened that door with a knife in her hand ... she'd still be alive."

"Nothing more needed to be said," Gilbert writes. "O.J. had confessed to me. There's no doubt in my mind."

Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death at the entrance to her condominium. The knife was never found.

Simpson's current lawyer Yale Galanter said none of Gilbert's claims are true and that Gilbert is "a delusional drug addict who needs money. He's fallen on very hard times. He is in trouble with the IRS."

"I've talked to O.J. about it," said Galanter, who refused to allow Simpson to comment directly because of his upcoming robbery trial in Las Vegas. "This stuff not only didn't occur but it's not factually supported by the evidence."

The name calling and accusations on both sides showed that deep wounds persist.

In a phone interview, Gilbert called Galanter "an ambulance chaser and an enabler and denier for O.J. I know. I used to do the same thing. I understand the game."

He acknowledged he has IRS problems which he says were caused by Simpson but said, "I could take a drug test and pass it. I highly doubt that O.J. could."

Gilbert is the second sports memorabilia dealer to write a Simpson book this year. Thomas Riccio, who arranged a Las Vegas memorabilia sale that led to Simpson's armed robbery arrest, penned "Busted" last month.

Simpson himself participated in the controversial book, "If I Did It," which he claimed was not a confession. It was withdrawn by the publisher and eventually released last year by the Goldman family to help satisfy a $33.5 million wrongful death judgment.

Gilbert said he continued to represent Simpson for another decade after the alleged confession, hawking items with his autograph, hiding the profits and helping Simpson shield his possessions so they could not be seized by the Goldman family.

Gilbert also claims that he counselled the jailed Simpson during his murder trial to stop taking his arthritis medicine so his hands would swell up and not fit the bloody gloves in court. He offers no proof Simpson followed his advice or that he was taking any medicine, but the drama that played out in court when the gloves didn't fit was central to Simpson's defence.

The prosecutors in Simpson's murder trial, Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden, could not immediately be reached for comment on Gilbert's claims.

Former Gilbert partner Bruce Fromong, who was involved in the Vegas incident, said Gilbert is known for spinning tall tales.

"Mike makes up a lot of great stories," said Fromong. "Mike Gilbert has a ton of skeletons in his closet. He's as dirty as anyone."

Gilbert said he broke with Simpson two years ago because he felt cheated, didn't approve of his lifestyle and was repulsed by "If I Did It." He writes that he was guided to do his own the book by dreams in which he saw the ghosts of his dead grandmother and of Nicole Brown Simpson.

He refers to himself in the book as a "Judas," and says he is betraying Simpson because he's ashamed of what he did and wants to soothe his conscience. He responded to Fromong's criticism by saying he's made mistakes and isn't trying to clean up his image with the book.

He writes that he was not alone in helping Simpson beat the murder charges, but "I hope to be the first to finally confess."

Gilbert said he funnelled money from autograph signing appearances to Simpson under the table so the Goldman family could not get it. Gilbert said he paid Simpson 80 per cent, kept 20 per cent but had to pay taxes on the whole amount. He said Simpson repeatedly told him they'd settle up later.

But they never did and when pushed Simpson reminded him of the Goldman debt: "Hey, at least you don't owe $33.5 million."

"Yeah, I didn't kill anybody either," Gilbert replied. Simpson scowled.

He offers apologies to the dead Nicole Simpson, whom he said he never liked, and to the Goldman family.

"He offers an apology for money laundering?" said Goldman lawyer David Cook. "I don't think we want the apology. I think we need the money. Send us a cheque, not an 'I'm sorry."'

He said he plans to use the book as a treasure map to Simpson's hidden assets.

Gilbert, 53, was a childhood fan of Simpson who was thrilled when another client, football great Marcus Allen, introduced them and they began doing business together.

Gilbert wrote in his book that he was admitted to a world of privilege and he got caught up in a power trip in which he believed he was better than "ordinary people."

Gilbert blames himself and other Simpson friends for failing to act when they detected domestic violence in the Simpson marriage. But he says each time there was a fight between the couple or a call by Nicole to police it was dismissed as part of their obsession with each other or they pretended it didn't happen.

"O.J. mattered more," he said. "The fringe benefits that came with being one of O.J.'s friends mattered more - or at least we thought they did."

Gilbert wrote the book for many reasons. It wasn't just to make money or hurt Simpson.

"Nothing can hurt O.J.," he said in an interview. "He doesn't have the emotions we have."

In a chapter on the Las Vegas case, he acknowledges that Simpson was in search of memorabilia he believed Gilbert stole from him, including the suit he wore the day he was acquitted.

"I never sold the suit, not even when I was dead broke," he writes. "At least that's something small to be proud of."

But Gilbert does acknowledge that he unsuccessfully tried to sell the suit at one point, before he sold his book.

LAS VEGAS -- las vegas -- A jury convicted O.J. Simpson of armed robbery and kidnapping late Friday night, 13 years to the day after he was acquitted of killing his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles.

Simpson and his codefendant, Clarence Stewart, were both convicted on all 12 counts. As the court clerk read "guilty" 24 times shortly before 11 p.m., Simpson grimaced and then nodded slightly, quickly regaining his composure. From the gallery, his sister, Carmelita Durio, wept on a friend's shoulder.

Both defendants were handcuffed and taken into custody. Durio's weeping became wailing as marshals escorted Simpson from the courtroom.

The verdicts mean that Simpson, 61, faces a possible life sentence for a six-minute confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers last year at a down-market casino hotel. Sentencing will be Dec. 5.

The Las Vegas courtroom scene stood in marked contrast to the conclusion of Simpson's 1995 trial, when he smiled broadly and mouthed his thanks to the Los Angeles jury as the stunned families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman wept.


Neither victim in the Las Vegas case was on hand for the reading of the verdict.

Through a court administrator, jurors said they did not want to talk with the media. Prosecutors too declined comment.

Simpson's attorneys pledged to appeal. His longtime lawyer, Yale Galanter, cited jury selection as one basis for a new trial. The defense has charged that prosecutors purposefully excluded African Americans.

"His only hope is the appellate process," Galanter said at a late-night news conference.

Although none of the 12 jurors was black, two of the six alternates were. The panel of nine women and three men deliberated more than 13 hours after listening to nearly three weeks of testimony. Their discussions had begun Friday morning.

The state court case here was marked by hours of secret audio recordings, alleged victims who professed to like Simpson and witnesses who tried to cash in on their ties to the former NFL star.

Prosecutors painted Simpson as masterminding the alleged robbery of two sports collectibles dealers in a hotel room last year. The Hall of Fame running back, the prosecution contended, rounded up five cohorts, told two of them to bring guns and ordered one of the armed men to brandish his weapon and "look menacing."

Simpson and Stewart, 54, were charged with a dozen crimes, including armed robbery and kidnapping, which carries a potential life sentence. Four of their former codefendants agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges and testified for the prosecution.

Despite detailing an intriguing plot with colorful characters, the proceedings paled next to Simpson's months-long, televised "trial of the century" in the slayings of his ex-wife and Goldman. The 1995 case became a culturalƒs flash point that drew huge courthouse crowds and polarized black and white Americans.

A civil jury in 1997 found the Heisman Trophy winner liable for the deaths. The onetime actor, pitchman and sports commentator has paid little of the $33.5-million judgment.

In Las Vegas, the anticipated circus never showed up. Media coverage dwindled as the economy faltered and the presidential election ramped up. On most days, Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass' courtroom was only half-filled.

Simpson, who did not take the stand, was here in September 2007 to take part in a friend's wedding. Simpson has said he and his associates were trying to retrieve stolen mementos from collectibles dealers Bruce Fromong and Alfred Beardsley in the Palace Station hotel room.

"We may quibble with how it was done, what was done," said Simpson attorney Galanter in his closing argument. "You may all say he didn't use common sense. But the real issue is whether he had criminal intent to commit a crime."

Prosecutors, however, say the group stole up to $100,000 in footballs, plaques and baseballs at gunpoint from the dealers, who had been tricked into thinking they were meeting a wealthy buyer.

Simpson and his associates "thought they could spin it that, 'It's all OK; it was my stuff,'ƒ| " said prosecutor Chris Owens in the state's final rebuttal. That mind-set, he said, showed the football icon's "arrogance."

"A Las Vegas judge sentenced fallen gridiron great O.J. Simpson to at least 15 years in prison for leading an armed confrontation last year at a Las Vegas hotel room over sports memorabilia.
O.J. Simpson was sentenced to at 15 years in prison, and could be eligible for parole in nine.

O.J. Simpson was sentenced to at 15 years in prison, and could be eligible for parole in nine.

Simpson could become eligible for parole in about nine years. Grimacing, Simpson was escorted from the courtroom in shackles.

Judge Jackie Glass gave Simpson a tongue-lashing before passing sentence.

"Earlier in this case, at a bail hearing, I said to Mr. Simpson I didn't know if he was arrogant, ignorant or both," Glass said. "During the trial and through this proceeding I got the answer, and it was both."

She stressed that the sentence was not "payback for anything else," apparently referring to Simpson's acquittal 13 years ago in the slayings of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. Video Watch the judge say the sentence isn't about the past »

His voice shaking, Simpson had apologized in court and insisted he was merely trying to recover property that had been stolen from his family. He was convicted of leading a group of armed men into a room at Palace Station Hotel and Casino, where they planned to take sports memorabilia from dealers Bruce Fromong and Al Beardsley.

"I stand here today sorry, somewhat confused. I feel apologetic to people of state of Nevada," Simpson began. At times, he appeared to be fighting tears as he spoke. Video Watch Simpson's apology »

The judge said Simpson's contrite words in court were not as powerful as his angry words, as caught on tape, during the confrontation.

"Everything in this case was on tape," Glass said. "The evidence in this case was overwhelming."

She continued, "You went to the room. You took guns. You used force. You took property, and in this state, that amounts to robbery with the use of a deadly weapon.

Simpson, who wore blue jail scrubs to court for Friday's sentencing, did not testify during his trial. He was convicted of armed robbery, kidnapping and assault on October 3 -- 13 years to the day after his Los Angeles murder trial ended with an acquittal. See how his sentence breaks down »

Simpson's tone became more impassioned as he insisted he never intended to intimidate people or steal property.

"I didn't want to steal anything from anybody," Simpson said, adding that among the items he sought to recover were a wedding ring for his daughter and family photos for his son.

"I just wanted my personal things. I was stupid. I'm sorry. I didn't know I was doing anything illegal. I thought I was confronting friends. I thought I was retrieving my things. I didn't mean to hurt anybody and I didn't mean to steal anything," Simpson said."

O.J. Simpson is headed to prison for at least nine years, but a prosecutor says the former football star could have spent less time behind bars if he had accepted a plea deal before he was convicted.

Clark County District Attorney David Roger said Simpson was offered a deal for less prison time than the nine- to 33-year prison terms the graying former football star was sentenced to on Friday for kidnapping and assaulting two sports memorabilia dealers with a deadly weapon.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28083134/

[malq]

All I can say is thank God! I watched the whole 5 minutes of his rambling apology before sentencing. The judge had to be smirking. I would be.

[swivel]

I used to think that OJ got away clean with the murder of his wife and her lover... but looking back on the events of his life following the acquittal, I think a guilty verdict would have been less tormenting.

The guy has had to live with a lie for 14 years. That lie was eating at his innards so much that he felt compelled to write a book, trying to free the sickness. He went broke, was ostracized, and lives in a world where everyone knows he was guilty and only got off because he was rich (despite the obvious inability to handle money) and black (despite his choice of wife, neighborhood, and friends).

I do not think the easy relaxation of sitting in a prison cell, watching TV, and writing honest memoirs would have been fair reward for what this man did to two other human beings. What he got was a whole lot worse.

I think if you prevent them from going somewhere it is also kidnapping. Hostage taking and kidnapping are the same. You are keeping them.
In this case they didn't let the dudes leave the room.

Christine Prody, OJ Simpson's girlfriend of 13 years as well as Nicole Brown Simpson's doppelganger speaks out on Good Morning America. Flanked by Gloria Allred, she states that she is terrified that OJ will get out of jail and endured years of physical and mental abuse from him. She also states that she now believes that OJ killed Nicole and Ron due to comments that he made to her over the years. The entire interview is "weird" to say the least and Prody looks dumbfounded the entire time. This from a woman that met her boyfriend when she was gawking at this Rockingham Estate amongst other tourists. The 19 year old cocktail waitress waved at him, they exchanged numbers, and remained together for the next thirteen years.

She hasn't slung a drink since she started dating OJ.....and I hear a book deal is in the works.

This girl is a real treat. She apparently went on a 2 day drinking binge, fell at a gas station and fractured her skull. Of course most of the world thought OJ had just beat the shit out of her but apparently not.

She then got 2 flat tires while drinking and driving on the highway, got out of the car and was struck by a vehicle. This was about 2 months later.

Its comical. She has 9 lives. No wonder she survived her 13 years with OJ Simpson. He couldn't kill her if he tried.

OJ Simpson’s Girlfriend, Christine Prody in ICU: Brief History of OJ’s WomenPosted on February 15th, 2008 by mondoreb in All News, Breaking News, Celebrity News, Country News, Entertainment, Florida News, Society and Culture, State News, US NewsRead 8,343 times.
OJ Simpson’s Girlfriend, Christine Prody, Remains Hospitalized

The Police have been Called Five Times over the last Several Years to the Couple’s Home

A Brief History of OJ’s Women

A Look at The Couple’s Tawdry Past

In 2000, police were called to Simpson’s home after girlfriend Christie Prody allegedly had a problem with drugs, and Simpson placed a 911 call claiming Prody was on a cocaine binge and needed rehab. Simpson later retracted the story and no formal charges were made against Prody. Source - CBS4

OJ Simpson’s current girlfriend, Christie Prody, remains hospitalized with head trauma at a Miami-Dade hospital while police continue to conduct an investigation. According a police report, Simpson maintains Prody ended up with bruises and abrasions and head trauma from a “drunken” fall at a Miami gas station Monday night.

Christie Prody

In 2000, the now infamous Simpson moved from Los Angeles California to Pinecrest, Florida, a bedroom community of Miami, four and half years after his acquittal in the murders of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend, Ron Goldman.

According to sources, the 52-year-old Simpson had already met the then 24-year-old Christie Prody, a waitress in Los Angeles. Some said, a Nicole “look-alike.”

On October 2000, Simpson was supposedly kicked and slapped by then 25-year-old girlfriend at the Wyndham hotel in Miami, but no charges were filed. Source - CBS4

After living together seven years and five calls to the police for domestic “altercations” it was reported that the 32-year-old Prody fell and hit her head while at a Miami gas station Monday night.

Simpson insists Prody fell because she was drunk and that during a recent trip to San Antonio, Prody was falling down drunk the whole time.

DBKP wrote yesterday that Simpson denies any involvement in Prody’s “accident.” So far no one has placed Simpson at the scene.Let’s take a look at a brief history of OJ Simpson’s Women.

Christie Prody (via ETOnline)
O.J. Simpson's girlfriend Christie Prody was seriously injured in a car accident, early Saturday morning, in Miami.

According to officials, Prody apparently pulled over into the emergency lane on a Florida expressway when she realized she had two flat tires. The 32-year-old got out, and walked around the car, just then she was hit by another car.

http://www.zimbio.com/Christie+Prody+Pictures/articles/5/Christie+Prody+Injured+Miami+Car+Accident

The impact caused her head and arms to go through the other vehicle's windshield.

Prody was airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center at Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital, where on Wednesday, she was still being treated for broken legs.

An empty alcohol bottle was found in Prody's car, but it is not known whether she was intoxicated. Lt. Pat Santangelo of Florida Highway Patrol, said Prody was cited for the accident.

If you watch that video she looks like she got the SHIT beat out of her. Personally, if OJ's girlfriend shows up injured it isn't because she "fell." I think he beat the crap out of her.

[malq]

he's baaaaaack!
He can't even do the nine years before he is considering parole.
I still wanna know where he gets the cash flow for lawyers. Never gave his victims a dime despite the civil suit.


The attorneys for O.J. Simpson have filed a petition asking the Nevada Supreme Court to reconsider their appeal of his armed robbery and kidnapping conviction.

In Tuesday's filing, attorneys for Simpson say he "respectfully disagrees" with the court's earlier decision and asks the justices to reconsider his case.

Last month, the court upheld the charges in his 2008 Las Vegas armed robbery trial, but ordered a new trial for co-defendant Clarence Stewart.

"We conclude that all of Simpson's arguments on appeal are without merit and we therefore affirm the judgment of conviction," Nevada's high court said in its ruling.

Simpson, 63, is now serving a 33-year sentence with the possibility of parole after nine years for 10 convictions relating to an armed confrontation over sports memorabilia in a Las Vegas hotel room. Simpson and five other men tried to regain property that Simpson claimed was his.

O.J.'s ex tried to clear out an elderly man's medicine cabinet

It's been a long, hard fall for O.J. Simpson -- from NFL superstar to accused murderer to being sentenced to 33 years in prison for armed robbery.

Apparently, one of his ex-girlfriends is experiencing a long, hard fall of her own. Yesterday, Christie Prody, Simpson's girlfriend of 13 years, was charged with two counts of second-degree burglary, two counts of theft, and two counts of fifth-degree drug possession after she was busted stealing prescription pills from an elderly Moorhead man.

Prody, 37, worked as a nurse's aide for the elderly man. She was caught taking the pills on a camera the man had installed after a January incident where 300 Oxycodone tablets mysteriously disappeared from the home he shares with his wife.

Prody had just started working in the home at the time of the January incident and denied taking the pills. But her elderly employer and his wife weren't convinced, and decided to install a surveillance camera in hopes of determining who was responsible for the prescription med swiping if it happened again.

From The Jamestown Sun:

On Friday, the couple reported to police that after returning home from church that afternoon, they again discovered that some of the man's medication was missing, this time a number of morphine and lorazepam pills.

Footage from the surveillance camera allegedly shows Prody stealing the morphine, as well as opening a bottle of lorazepam and putting a number of pills in her mouth before leaving the home, documents state.

When confronted with the video, Prody admitted to taking the medication and told investigators she did so because she is addicted to prescription pills, police allege in court records.

It's a sad story. But then again, it's not too surprising that someone who spent more than a decade dating O.J. post-Nicole would need drugs to cope.

A Nevada judge has set an evidentiary hearing for November, about whether former football star O.J. Simpson should be freed from prison and get a new trial.

The hearing was set for Nov. 9 at 9 a.m.

Simpson's lawyer, Patricia Palm, said Simpson wasn't in court for Friday's procedural hearing in Las Vegas.

She argued Simpson was so badly represented by lawyers at trial that he deserves a retrial. Palm didn't represent Simpson during trial.

The 65-year-old Simpson was convicted and is serving nine to 33 years for armed robbery and kidnapping in a 2007 confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas casino hotel room.

Christie Prody, 37, is accused of taking a purse from a woman walking outside the entrance to West Acres Mall. Police say the two struggled as Prody grabbed the purse that was strapped around the victim's neck and shoulder. The two ended up on the ground and that's when mall security arrived and detained the two until police could question them.

The victim suffered minor injuries.

Lt. Joel Vettel tells KFGO News it was a random crime.

It wasn't Prody's first run-in with the law. In April she was charged with stealing pain killers from the home of a Moorhead couple where she worked as a nurse's aid.

Prody was a waitress in Los Angeles when she met Simpson in a 1996, the year after he was acquitted of the murders of his wife and friend. They dated for 13 years.http://kfgo.com/news-details.php?ID=0000011858

My Brother the Serial Killer airs Wednesday night (Nov 21) at 9 in ID
http://corporate.discovery.com/discovery-news/my-brother-serial-killer-delves-making-monster-and/


A new documentary claims that O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown was the victim of a known serial killer and not her famous football star ex.

Glen Rogers was convicted of killing two women in 1995, and the latest theory is that his killing spree began months before with Brown-Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

Created by Investigation Discovery, an offshoot of the Discovery Channel, the documentary claims that Rogers had boasted that he befriended Nicole shortly after he moved to Los Angeles from Ohio.
[...]

The documentary explains that the reason why Rogers’ name has never come up before is because Simpson was purposefully keeping his connection to Rogers under wraps.

Rogers, who at one point boasted about having killed up to 70 women in a cross-country serial spree, alleges that Simpson hired him to break into his ex wife’s home to steal a pair of $20,000 earrings.

He also says that while the original intention of the partnership was to get the earrings, Simpson gave Rogers permission to kill ‘the b****’ if necessary.

The documentary does not feature Rogers himself, who is serving time on death row in Florida, but it comes close to home as it is based largely on interviews with his brother Clay who was the person to tip police off to Glen’s whereabouts.

Glen allegedly told Clay about the Brown-Goldman murder but he did not believe it. Later on, Glen spoke to a criminal investigator and went through step-by-step details of how the murder took place.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2235075/O-J-Simpson-case-Explosive-new-documentary-claims-serial-killer-Glen-Rogers-blame-double-murder-Nicole-Brown-Simpson-friend-1994.html


ID’s feature-length documentary goes back over Rogers’ life and his crimes through interviews with police, prosecutors and with his family —most notably his former non-murderous partner-in-crime, brother Clay Rogers, who taught Glen how to steal at an early age.

Not only did Clay cooperate fully in this documentary, but he is the person who turned Glen in when he discovered a rotting corpse in the family’s broken down cabin in the woods in Hamilton, Minn.

The corpse was that of an elderly male neighbor, one of the very few men it turned out Glen had killed. At that moment, Clay realized that all those tall tales his brother had telling about killing 50 people were tragically true.
[...]

The whole family thought Glen was lying when the then-handsome lunatic told his family that he was “partying” with a woman in LA named Nicole Brown Simpson — just before she was murdered.

When Rogers phoned his family in 1994, according to the film, he actually said he was working and partying with her and that she was rich, and that he was “going to take her down.”

A few years after the murders, when Rogers was already on death row for other murders, he admitted to a criminal profiler that he’d killed Simpson and Goldman.

And there is at least some proof to back him up, including receipts that show Rogers had been working construction in the area at that exact time.

Rogers seemed to know things about the murder that only the killer could have known including a step-by-step description of the exact sequence of the killings which had eluded prosecutors and cops.

O.J. Simpson arrived in a courtroom Monday morning in wrist shackles and dressed in a blue jail suit seeking a new trial in his 2008 sports memorabilia robbery and kidnapping conviction that sent him to prison.

Several of his family members were seated in the Clark County courtroom of District Court Judge Linda Maria Bell. A bailiff told the crowd to refrain from calling out to Simpson or making contact with him.

Looking grayer and heavier, Simpson had his handcuffs removed before the proceeding began.

Simpson, 65, who is serving nine to 33 years in prison, is expected to testify Wednesday, which would be his first court statements in the case that led to his arrest...

Simpson says his trial attorney, Yale Galanter, never told him that the prosecutors had offered a plea bargain. He also said in a sworn statement that the same lawyer "advised me that I was within my legal rights” to attempt the memorabilia sting that led to the arrest.

Simpson will be 70 before being eligible for parole.http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-oj-simpson-court-las-vegas-20130513,0,3850338.story
