Stories from Nicole's House...

In an earth-shattering new disclosure, an old football buddy of O.J. Simpson says The Juice confessed he was at the crime scene the night Nicole and Ron Goldman were brutally murdered!

What's more, the friend says O.J. also admitted leaving his footprints, his cap and a trail of other vital evidence in the victims' blood.

But after making his shocking admission to former Miami Dolphin star Eugene "Mercury" Morris, Mercury says O.J. desperately tried to explain it away by saying he stumbled upon Ron and Nicole's bloodied bodies just minutes after they were murdered - and ran because he feared he'd be framed for the grisly crimes!

Now, Mercury, who competed with Juice on the field and partied with him on the town, has decided to reveal the mind-boggling details of what he says is O.J.'s confession in an exclusive GLOBE interview.

"O.J. told me in a slow, steady voice: 'I was there, Mercury, I was there - but I didn't do it. I know it looks like I did it, but man, I didn't. It didn't happen the way everybody says it happened... I cut my hand on the cell phone in the Bronco. For real! I got blood everywhere.

"I didn't cut my hand in Chicago. That was a lie. I cut it in the Bronco.'"

Mercury says Simpson's voice trailed off for a second, leaving him stunned by what he was hearing. "I couldn't believe it," says Mercury. "I reached for a notepad and started taking down notes. I knew this was important...

Nicole Brown Simpson. The Poignant Story of a Life Interrupted

The shocking details of Nicole Brown Simpson's last will and testament reveal a woman who knew she was going to die young.

The will also shows Nicole's fall from wealth after her divorce from multimillionaire O.J. Simpson - and her anger at O.J. for the way he treated her.

Nicole signed her fateful do-it-yourself will a mere five weeks before her death. Now STAR is revealing the full contents for the first time.

Nicole's prime possession was the condo on South Bundy Drive - bought with about a half-million dollars of O.J.'s money - first a happy refuge for her children and finally the scene of her murder.

The most stunning fact of the will is not explained in the legal language - but in the fact that Nicole, 35, had a will at all - and that she had written it only weeks before she was murdered.

Insiders say Nicole wrote her will because she knew her life was in danger.

"She was paralyzed with fear in the last month of her life," says one of her closest friends. "She started to put her affairs in order - and the will was part of it."

Another pal says: "She felt powerless and scared. But writing a will makes you feel better - she was trying to make a step toward independence."

The will is dated May 8, 1994 - in the same month that she and O.J. had their last dramatic showdown. Nicole returned her days-old birthday present, a gem-studded bracelet. "I cannot be bought," she told O.J. on May 24.

On June 12, she and Ron Goldman were dead.

Willing the Way Towards the Truth!
Nicole Brown Simpson The Poignant Story of a Life Interrupted...

O.J. Simpson is selling a videotape that he claims reveals "his side" of his murder case - and it's sparking a storm of controversy around America.

Simpson's pushing the tape for $29.95. But here for ENQUIRER readers are key word-for-word excerpts from what O.J. has to say on the tape - and an analysis of evidence that refutes his claims.

On the tape Simpson talks about the small quantity of blood found in his Bronco and at his house.

O.J.: "All the blood drops going on the side of Nicole's house toward the alley, blood drops that are on this driveway, the blood-splattered Bronco." (In a mocking tone:) "My blood-spattered home. All of this blood constitutes less than 15 drops of blood. Less than 15 drops!"

But the police source pointed out: "What O.J. hopes people forget is that the police did a test on his Bronco that revealed there had been much more blood in it, but it had been wiped away."

One thing O.J. does NOT mention on the tape is his hunt for "the real killers," which he vowed to launch after his acquittal.

And about that acquittal, a self-assured O.J. has a stunning comment.

R.B.:"It's a tough question, but what do you think Nicole would have said about the verdict that day?"

O.J.:"Nicole would have stood by me."

That's a lie. Nicole was in therapy trying to find a way to get O.J. out of her life once and for all. And just hours before she was murdered, she told Simpson on the phone: "Get lost!"

R.B.:"You can't be real proud of your relationship with Nicole."

O.J.:"Yes I am. Totally proud."

Read the Words and Blame the Victim!
The Legacy of Nicole Brown Simpson

Angry Christopher Darden has given a horrifying second-by-second, blow-by-blow account of how Nicole Simpson was murdered.

The fiery O.J. Simpson prosecutor says he knows Simpson did it - and he still dreams about someday confronting the ex-gridiron great with the truth.

"I want to tell him that I can see inside his heart," says Darden. "That I know what happened."

Darden, who never got the chance to cross-examine Simpson in court, details his shocking account of the murders of Nicole and pal Ron Goldman for the first time in his new book In Contempt.

It is a painstakingly bloody and terrible description of the nightmare which he says happened on the evening of June 12, 1994, outside Nicole's Brentwood condo - told in the exact words Darden wants to use if he ever faces off with Simpson.

Darden says he would tell Simpson how it all began - that a still seething Simpson went to Nicole's home carrying a knife after not being invited to a family dinner celebrating daughter Sydney's dance recital.

"You hit her with your fist, and with the knife handle right on the crown of her head," claims Darden. "Then you grabbed her by the arm and drove the knife deep in to her neck, four times. We've all seen those scenes a hundred times on TV.

"But you knew what to do. You were an actor. You had learned the correct way to kill with a knife: not stab, but draw the knife all the way through."...

"I'll bet you stared at her for a moment, slumped at the bottom of the stairs, as if she'd just fallen asleep. It was her fault, wasn't it? You owned her now. Completely. Forever."

Darden also claims in the book that Simpson was so arrogant after the not guilty verdict was read that he brazenly looked over at the victim's grieving families.

"He'd gotten away with it. He had told Nicole that he could kill her anytime, anyplace, and that he could get away with it. Well, he'd done it."

Nicole Brown Simpson The Poignant Story of a Life Interrupted...

To Nicole Brown Simpson, Mother's Day was always the most joyful day of the year. Nicole's love of motherhood radiates from every picture in her touching Mother's Day photo album obtained by The ENQUIRER.

It's filled with the devoted mom's most cherished photos of herself and her beloved children.

"Being a good mother was the most important accomplishment in Nicole's life. It was the thing that mattered most to her," declared her youngest sister Tanya Brown in an exclusive ENQUIRER interview.

The heartwarming photos of Nicole with her youngsters Sydney and Justin as adorable tots clearly show the pride she took in motherhood. "These pictures capture the moments that made Nicole the happiest," revealed Tanya...

"Every Mother's Day, Nicole, O.J. and the kids came to my parents' house in Dana Point, for a big family barbecue. There they were surrounded by my sisters and their kids.

"It was a wonderful day, a family event filled with love and joy...

The doting mom loved taking photos of her beautiful, bright-eyed children, said Tanya.

"Nicole once told me, 'The reason I take so many pictures of Sydney and Justin is because kids grow up so fast and I want to remember them how they were when they were little.'"

Ironically, it is Sydney and Justin, now 9 and 6, who will remember Nicole from photos. "Through these pictures, her memory will always be alive," said Tanya.

'A Loving Mother'

Nicole Brown Simpson... The Poignant Story of a Life Interrupted

On Sunday June 12 1994 Nicole Brown Simpson became a public figure overnight for on that balmy Sunday evening she was senselessly and brutally murdered in the grounds of her home at 875 South Bundy Drive in the leafy suburb of Brentwood in California.

Her murder trial and that of her friend Ronald Lyle Goldman who had been murdered alongside her became known as the "Trial of the Century" with her former husband Orenthal James Simpson as the accused.

It is hard to believe that Nicole was murdered over nineteen years ago, I can remember the BBC news reports and the iconic photographs of the bloody pathway lined with purple and lilac Agapanthus...

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

I also remember the farcical "Bronco Chase", the sensational headlines week after week in The National Enquirer, the court testimony of Mark Fuhrman and the shock of the "Not Guilty" verdict the following year.

And yet what I most recall is the realisation of a grotesque dichotomy that despite the voluminous photographs of a beautiful and happy Nicole that she had in fact been abused by Simpson throughout most of their seventeen year relationship.

The first book that I ever bought about Nicole was in the Autumn of 1994 titled Nicole Brown Simpson: A Private Diary of a Life Interrupted by her friend Faye Resnick and I am still reading about her.

She was the subject of my Thesis in 1999 and remains the purpose for my work ever since.

Yet it is the very tragedy of her early death that makes her life a compelling human story of hope, love, obsession and betrayal and that is why I choose to remember her...

"O.J. threw me against the walls....and on the floor. Put bruises on my arm and back. The window scared me. Thought he'd throw me out...

Everywhere I go he shows up. I really think he is going to kill me"

These are the harrowing words of Nicole Brown Simpson who on Sunday June 12 1994 was brutally murdered in the garden of her Brentwood home in Los Angeles as her two children Justin and Sydney were asleep.

Nicole's former husband O.J. Simpson was subsequently arrested, tried and acquitted of her murder and that of her friend Ronald Goldman in a relentless blaze of publicity.

It seems incredible that all of this happened eighteen years ago as I can still recall the news stories, the interviews, the infamous "Bronco Chase" and the ghastly photographs....

I can still recall where I was when I heard the cries of jubilation and horror as the verdict was announced, the anguish of the families.....and the prophetic words of Nicole:

"I really think he is going to kill me"

Nicole was a battered woman for many years who went to several experts on domestic violence for help, who asked the police to arrest Simpson on January 1 1989 after another savage beating, who kept a journal that documented the assaults and the threats and had photographs taken of her bruised face...

She would eventually leave Simpson in February 1992 and although her divorce was finalised in October 1992, she would continue to be stalked, intimidated and threatened until the year of her death.

On Sunday May 8 1994 and in the presence of others Nicole signed her name to her Last Will and Testament which she was to keep in a safety deposit box with her journals, letters and photographs that had documented her beatings.

By Midnight on Sunday June 12 1994 Nicole's body had been found, bloodied and bruised. She had died as the result of severe knife trauma.

Despite the celebrity hype, media sensationalism and the conspiracy theories that this famous murder generated, Nicole's story remains a real story of suffering and injustice.

Domestic violence remains a real story.

"I just don't see how our stories compare -I was so bad because I wore sweats & left shoes around & didn't keep a perfect house or comb my hair the way you like it - or had dinner ready at the precise moment you walked through the door or that I just plain got on your nerves sometimes.

I just don't see how that compares to infidelity, wife beating, verbal abuse -

I just don't think everybody goes through this.... I called the cops to save my life whether you believe it or not.."

These are the harrowing words written by Nicole shortly before her brutal murder on Sunday June 12 1994 in the garden of her Brentwood home in Los Angeles as her two children Justin and Sydney were sleeping.

Nicole's former husband O.J. Simpson was subsequently arrested, tried and acquitted of her murder and that of her friend Ronald Goldman in a relentless blaze of publicity the following year.

I began to read about Nicole shortly after her murder in 1994, she was the focus for the research and publication of my BA thesis in 1999 and I have been reading about her ever since.

In June 1994 and shortly before her brutal murder, Nicole was making plans to leave her home in Brentwood in order to escape the abuse and obsession that had characterised her long relationship with Simpson.

Only days before her death, Nicole had seen a beach house in Malibu available for rent and she was excited and positive at the prospect of a move there with their children.

'Nicole's House' is a House created in 12th scale miniature that tells several narratives:

A recreation of some of the principle rooms at 875 South Bundy Drive as they were discovered in the early hours of Monday June 13 1994 as the investigation into the murders of Nicole and Ronald Lyle Goldman was underway.

Additional rooms are created as a tribute to the style and essence of Nicole who loved the style of interior design that has come to typify the "California Look".

Finally, as we know that Nicole was planning a move to a beach house in Malibu, 'Nicole's House' is a poignant reminder of "what could have been".

For nearly half her life, Nicole Brown Simpson was known as O. J. Simpson's girlfriend, his wife, then his ex-wife. But in her last days, after she had broken off their efforts to get back together, she had been struggling to be Nicole Brown.

Hours before Mrs. Simpson was killed, she and her family, her two children, her parents, two of her sisters were celebrating her freedom at Mezzaluna, one of her favorite neighborhood restaurants.

"She was just so vivacious, so full of life," her older sister, Denise Brown, said in a telephone interview today. "She had just gotten it all together, and it was so exciting. I was so happy for her.

For the first time in her life, she was able to have her own friends. We were talking about going to Yosemite, camping, taking the kids to Club Med. Everything was going to revolve around the kids.

"She was so happy," Ms. Brown said. "She had broken up with O. J. a week and a half before. She was going to start her life over. It was going to be without O. J., with her children. Funny thing, she still loved O.J. She just couldn't live with him."

Mrs. Simpson had called the police on the 911 emergency line as recently as Oct. 25, police tapes indicate.

And sometime after she left the restaurant on June 12, Mrs. Simpson was slashed to death on the steps of the town house where she had hoped to forge a new identity.

Even now, it is her former husband, charged with the murder of Mrs. Simpson and a friend, Ronald Goldman, who is drawing most of the attention. There is an extensive record of his public life -- as a football star, a television pitchman, Hollywood actor, the man about town with the beautiful, blonde wife on his arm.

Far less is known about Nicole Brown, and her life with O. J. Simpson.

"She was totally, totally devoted to this man," Denise Brown said. Then, referring to Mr. Simpson's best friend, Al Cowlings, who helped Mr. Simpson flee the police last Friday, she added, "Even A. C., he says to me, 'Denise, I could not believe a woman could love a man as much as she did, bringing him coffee every morning, in bed.' Every morning for how many years -- 18 years -- she was so in love with him."

They fell in love when she was still a teenager, and until their divorce in 1992 they seemed to define the California dream.

His life was her life. The $5 million mansion in Brentwood, on the same street as Meryl Streep, the actress, and Michael Ovitz, chairman of Creative Artists Agency. The $2 million oceanfront house in Laguna Beach. His and her Ferraris. Vacations in Vail, Colo. and Mexico.

But there was a price. Friends of the couple said that he had tried to control the relationship and that even after their divorce he had been possessive about her.

The Los Angeles police reported today that last October Mr. Simpson kicked in the backdoor of her house. The police said Mrs. Simpson, who summoned help by dialing 911, told them that Mr. Simpson had visited her earlier in the evening and had become upset over a picture of a former boyfriend in her photo album.

Several times in the last years of their marriage and after the divorce, she called the police. Friends noticed bruises on her arms and neck.

In 1989, after a New Year's Eve party, a frantic Nicole Simpson telephoned the police again. As officers arrived, according to police records, she ran out of the bushes, yelling: "He's going to kill me! He's going to kill me!" She had a cut lip, a swollen black eye, a bruised cheek and a hand print on her neck, they said.

Several months later, Mr. Simpson pleaded no contest to spousal battery. A judge fined him $700 and ordered counseling. The couple released a statement saying their marriage had never been stronger.

Around the same time, a smiling, relaxed Mr. Simpson dismissed the incident in a 1989 television interview with ESPN, saying: "We had a fight. We were both guilty. No one was hurt. It was no big deal, and we got on with our life."

Now, Mrs. Simpson's death has touched off a national debate about spousal abuse as a hidden crime. But Denise Brown, 37, says she doesn't want her sister, whom she was closer to than almost anyone, to be remembered only as a victim.

"She was not a battered woman," Ms. Brown said. "My definition of a battered woman is somebody who gets beat up all the time. I don't want people to think it was like that. I know Nicole. She was a very strong-willed person. If she was beaten up, she wouldn't have stayed with him.

That wasn't her. Everybody knows about 1989. Does anybody know about any other time?"

Ms. Brown stressed throughout a lengthy interview that she did not want to criticize Mr. Simpson in any way, for the sake of her sister's children and the two children from Mr. Simpson's first marriage. "He's their Dad," she explained. "I love Arnelle and Jason. I love Sydney and Justin. I'm not going to do anything to hurt them."

No one who knew Mrs. Simpson, who was 5 feet 8 inches and about 125 pounds, thought she was weak.

Jean Vallely, a writer and mother of four who lives in Brentwood, saw Mrs. Simpson regularly at youth basketball games at the recreation center in Pacific Palisades. Mrs. Simpson would cheer on her daughter, Sydney, who played for the Tar Heels.

Ms. Vallely said she saw Mrs. Simpson and her children at a game the week before she was killed. "You couldn't stop looking at her because she was so striking," Ms. Vallely said. "She was not this frail, skinny little blonde. She had this great body. She was strong, and she worked out."

Back at Dana Hills High School in Orange County, Denise and Nicole Brown had been homecoming princesses.

Nicole's home economics teacher, Jo Hanson, said: "Everybody was in awe of her. We get a lot of beautiful students. But she was the ultimate beauty. The girls liked and admired her. The guys were in love with her."

But it was Nicole's father, Lou Brown, who escorted his daughter to the homecoming dance, Mrs. Hanson said.

"I thought she was going to be a model, or a movie star," Mrs. Hanson said. "I used to tease her, 'I should get your autograph now.'"

Nicole was one of five children, four sisters and one brother, who grew up steps from the beach in Monarch Bay, an upper-middle-class beach community in Orange County west of Dana Point. Her father was a small-business investor, who now runs a Hertz rental-car franchise. Her mother, Judy, had dabbled briefly in modeling.

Nicole Brown seemed destined for big things, said Valerie Rigg, who attended high school with her. "People said somebody wealthy and famous would nab her," Ms. Rigg said. "She just seemed bound for that." She added, "Nicole was famous to us."

Though Nicole was not the oldest of the Brown sisters, she was viewed as the most mature. "I remember her presence, her bearing," said Bill Prestridge, recalling her from his journalism class. "She didn't have that girlish laughter."

After high school, she went to work as a waitress in a Beverly Hills nightclub, the Daisy. She tried modeling but apparently didn't like it. A Restless Beauty, A Vulnerable Athlete.

Then she met O. J. at the Daisy. She was barely 18. He was 30, and at a turning point. His first marriage was breaking up; his fabled knees were failing. The attraction was immediate and intense.

"I was living in New York and modeling when she told me about him," Denise Brown said. "I said, 'Oh, who's that?' She said, 'Oh, he's a football player.' She just loved O. J. She didn't care if he was a football player or a dirt digger. They were really great for each other."

That summer he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. In an emotional acceptance speech, he thanked "my wife, Nicole, who came into my life at what is probably the most difficult time for an athlete, at the end of my career."

And, he added, "she turned those years into some of the best years I have had in my life, babes." She smiled proudly back at him.

Mr. Simpson began a new career. He became a spokesman for Hertz, a football commentator for ABC, then NBC, and an actor. He was earning an estimated $1 million a year. He was on the road several months a year. The daily care of their two young children fell to her.

Wherever Mr. Simpson went, he talked about his wife. "He was very possessive," said Corey La Russo, a professional golfer who caddied for Mr. Simpson at the Riviera Country Club in Brentwood from 1991 to 1993. "He'd say, 'If I ever caught her with another man, I'd kick his ass.' He didn't want to catch anyone with his wife, and he was adamant about it. He put her on a pedestal. He'd say: 'Hey, she's all I need. She's the most beautiful thing in the world.'"

Mrs. Simpson filed for divorce on Feb. 25, 1992; the divorce became final Oct. 15 that year.

The court documents offer a window into their relationship. "By the time I was 19 years of age, we were living together most of the time," Mrs. Simpson said in her filing. "I traveled back and forth between Los Angeles and San Francisco to be with him. I only attended junior college a very short time because respondent required me to be available to travel with him whenever his career required him to go to a new location, even if it was for a short period of time."

She continued: "I have had no other college education, and I hold no college degrees. I worked as a waitress for two months. Prior to that, I was a sales clerk in a boutique. These two jobs are the sum total of my employment experience. I worked on my own as an interior decorator, mostly for respondent and his friends. I no longer have that opportunity."

She described their lavish life style. "We had a full staff to assist us," she said in her filing. "The house was extensively remodeled a few years ago, and no expense was spared to update and modernize the kitchen, pool and other amenities."

Every year they traveled to Hawaii, she said. They had an apartment in New York. Back in Brentwood, she had a nutritionist and a personal trainer.

Mrs. Simpson won a $433,000 settlement, as well as $10,000 a month child support. He said he couldn't pay more because he was saddled with the costs of supporting his mother and his two adult children, among others. The settlement was consistent with a prenuptial agreement Mr. Simpson had signed after a seven-month negotiation over the terms.

In addition, NBC that year cut his salary by $100,000. Two fast-food chicken franchises closed in the aftermath of the 1992 Los Angeles riot. And, he said in his filing, he had lost money on some bad investments.

According to his filing, Mrs. Simpson was not using her full abilities to make money on her own. "Petitioner has done nothing but play," Mr. Simpson's filing said, "taking nice vacations, spending time exercising and entertaining and being entertained."

Mrs. Simpson and the children moved out of the mansion, but they didn't go far. They rented a house about a half-mile from Mr. Simpson.

A few months ago, after the incident when Mr. Simpson kicked in the door, they moved to a $650,000 town house on Bundy Drive.

David Bursin, a friend of Mrs. Simpson and a bartender at a Beverly Hills restaurant, said Mr. Simpson kept a close eye on Mrs. Simpson after the divorce. "It was common knowledge that he followed her," Mr. Bursin said. "He would show up at places. She would have to calm him down. It wasn't like he was in a tirade. She just didn't want it to escalate. She would go off for a few minutes and then come back."

Other friends recalled an occasion when they were drinking coffee at a cafe when Mr. Simpson drove up and glared at their party for a long minute.

In her last months, Mrs. Simpson was reaching for a new freedom, said Dee Dee Burnett, a 24-year-old who said she befriended Mrs. Simpson five years ago when Ms. Burnett was dating Jason Simpson.

"O. J. had possessed her, and she was finally able to have her own life," Ms. Burnett said.

Ron Hardy was one of the friends who accompanied Mrs. Simpson on evenings out. "We would go out and have dinner and then dance all night," he said. "Wherever there was dancing, there was Nicole. Five, six, seven songs at a time. She had more stamina than all of us."

All along, behind the walls and high security gates of Brentwood, there was a lot of talk about Nicole and O. J.

They were together, they were apart, they were together again.

"I ran into her six weeks ago at San Vicente Foods," said a woman who lives on the same street as the Simpson mansion. "I hadn't seen her in three years.

She told me: 'Did you hear? O. J. and I are getting back together.' I said, 'Oh, that's wonderful.' I took that to mean he had some rehabilitation after what had happened in 1989. She was very happy."

STAR - through friends of Nicole and industry insiders - has obtained a sneak peak at this extraordinary footage.

It tells the story of the first day of their marriage - a tragic union that ended in divorce seven years later, and that ultimately led to the most sensational murder case in American history.

One of the wedding's most riveting moments was the cutting of the cake, a touching scene at the time that now is taking on chilling dimensions... because of the knife murders of Nicole and her waiter friend Ronald Goldman.

Said the source: "It was a pretty big cake, so obviously it took a fairly large knife to cut into it.

When you see O.J. pick up the knife and then, with Nicole's hand on his, slice into this large cake, it sends a shiver down your spine."

There are literally hundreds of books that have been written about the life of Nicole and of her life with Simpson and the tales of glamour, celebrity, wealth and beauty have frequently made her appear remote, abstract and insignificant.

And with the approach of June 12 2014; the '20th Anniversary' will undoubtedly bring forth more theories and new conjecture about the tragic loss of these two young and vibrant people.

The youngest sister of Nicole Brown Simpson has opened up about her sister's brutal murder after 20 years and revealed the moment she knew that the man she called 'Uncle OJ' was responsible for her death.

Tanya Brown, now 44, described how her family's lives were forever shattered on the morning of June 13, 1994, when they found out that Nicole, recently divorced from OJ Simpson, had been stabbed to death outside her Los Angeles home along with her friend Ronald Goldman.

She said the grief-stricken family watched on TV as her sister's bloodied corpse was loaded into a van to be taken to the morgue. Ms Brown said she held her mother's shaking hands as she wept: 'That's my kid.'

Simpson and Ms Brown married in 1985 and had two children Sydney and Justin. In 1989, the former football player pleaded no contest to a domestic violence charge against Simpson. They divorced in 1992.

After her sister's death, Ms Brown said she was exposed to the harrowing truth - that Simpson was a violent man who had mentally and physically abused her sister for years.

In the days following the murders, the net began to close on Simpson, now considered the prime suspect.

On June 17, the day that Simpson was supposed to turn himself over to police on murder charges, the former football player led officers on an infamous low-speed pursuit in a white Ford Bronco in California.

Tanya Brown revealed to People that during this bizarre car chase, which was broadcast to millions on live TV across the major networks, her father and elder sister Denise were on the phone trying to talk Simpson out of killing himself as he rode along with a gun to his head.

Ms Brown told the magazine: 'What many people don't know is that he called us during the chase and Denise and my dad tried to talk him down.

'''Don't do it, Juice!'' Daddy urged him, trying to get him to put the gun down and pull over. ''Think of your two kids, Juice! Don't do it!'''

Simpson finally surrendered to police and was jailed awaiting trial.

The internationally publicized trial of O.J. Simpson lasted one year and was dubbed the 'trial of the century'. In 1995, Simpson was acquitted of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife and Mr Goldman.

The anguish for the victims' families did not end there. For Tanya Brown, her sister's brutal death unleashed years of depression and drug and alcohol abuse that culminated in her almost taking her own life in 2004.

Following psychiatric treatment and therapy, Ms Brown now says she has turned 'this ugly thing into something good'.

Now a life coach and mental-health advocate, she has recently written a memoir about the loss of her sister, entitled Finding Peace Amid The Chaos...

Finding Peace Amid the Chaos

My Escape from Depression and Suicide

Tanya Brown

(Langmarc Publishing March 2014)

The sister of Ron Goldman, who was brutally murdered along with OJ Simpson's ex-wife, has made the shocking revelation that she almost killed OJ Simpson in revenge.

Kim Goldman revealed this week how she came within inches of taking out Simpson a year after he was found not guilty of stabbing to death her brother and Nicole Brown Simpson.

Kim Goldman told the National Enquirer: 'In 1996, (Simpson) walked in front of me while I was driving my car.

'I thought ''I can kill him, right here, right now.'' I never thought ''avenger'' and ''assassin'' were words to describe me, but in that moment they were.'

As she revved her car's engine and looked straight at Simpson, Ms Goldman's feelings of rage ebbed away.

She said: 'I am not a killer, and he is. I have appropriate hatred toward the man who stabbed my brother in the heart and left him for dead!'

The 43-year-old mother-of-one, who lives in Valencia, Caifornia, is the director of the nonprofit SCV Youth Project, which provides counseling and support for young people.

Her e-book on the murder of her brother, Ronald was published on Tuesday. Her memoir, Can’t Forgive: My Twenty-Year Battle with O.J. Simpson, chronicles her decades-long legal pursuit of Simpson.

In the book, Ms Goldman admits that she dreams about torturing Simpson.

Simpon's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, a waiter, were stabbed to death outside her Brentwood home on June 12, 1994.

In the days following the murders, the net began to close on Simpson, considered the prime suspect, after it emerged that his wife has suffered mental and physical abuse at his hands for years.

The internationally publicized trial of O.J. Simpson lasted one year and was dubbed the 'trial of the century'.

Ms Goldman writes in her memoir how she attended every day of Simpson's murder trial and the stress almost drove her to suicide.

She said that only the thought of her father Fred, struggling with the weight of his own grief, pulled her back from the brink.

In 1995, Simpson was acquitted of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife and Mr Goldman. The 43-year-old said that watching Simpson go free left her feeling furious and betrayed.

Ms Goldman, who at the time was dating First Lady Hillary Clinton's make-up artist, said that her boyfriend conveyed messages of support from the White House.

She wrote in her book that Mrs Clinton passed messages of sympathy to her family and that when the Goldmans went to meet President Clinton, he said that was proud of how they had conducted themselves throughout the trial.

Following the criminal trial, the Goldman and Brown families pursued Simpson in civil court for $33.5million in damages and won.

The families have only see around 1 per cent of the money - but Ms Goldman says she will never stop trying to get the award from Simpson, not because they want to be rich but because she wants to leave him destitute.

In 2008, Simpson was found guilty of kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges in what he said was an attempt to retrieve memorabilia and personal items from two sports collectibles dealers in a casino hotel room.

Ms Goldman said that this news left her rejoicing that Simpson's bad karma had finally caught up with him.

Simpson was sentenced to between nine to 33 years in Nevada state prison. Ms Goldman sent him a card when he was jailed which read: 'Congratulations on your new home. Hope you enjoy your new digs! From the Goldman family.'

Simpson, now 66, was granted parole on some convictions last July however he must serve at least four more years. His conviction came 13 years to the day after he was acquitted of his ex-wife and Mr Goldman's murders.

Ms Goldman, who only refers to Simpson as 'The Killer' in her writing, says that her only relief now will come from his death.

However she told SignalSCV that writing her book has brought with it a peace of sorts.

'Writing has been important to me in finding my voice and taking back control of my life,' she said. 'I wanted people to know the parts of me that are important and strong, rather than (the victim).'

Can't Forgive.

My 20 - Year Battle with O.J. Simpson

Kim Goldman

(BenBella Books May 2014)

As well as an abiding interest in the life and legacy of Nicole Brown Simpson, I am also an artist who creates 'Small Worlds' of realism and fantasy in 12th scale miniature.

I just don't see how that compares to infidelity, wife beating, verbal abuse -

I just don't think everybody goes through this.... I called the cops to save my life whether you believe it or not.."

Nicole's former husband O.J. Simpson was subsequently arrested, tried and acquitted of her murder and that of her friend Ronald Goldman in a relentless blaze of publicity the following year.

I began to read about Nicole shortly after her murder in 1994, she was the focus for the research and publication of my BA thesis in 1999 and I have been reading about her ever since.

She was also the inspiration behind the creation of my "California style" ocean-front house titled 'Nicole's House' or 'The Ghost of Brentwood'.

Only days before her death, Nicole had seen a beach house in Malibu available for rent and she was excited and positive at the prospect of a move there with their children.

'Nicole's House' is a House created in 12th scale miniature that tells several narratives:

Additional rooms are created as a tribute to the style and essence of Nicole who loved the style of interior design that has come to typify the "California Look".

Finally, as we know that Nicole was planning a move to a beach house in Malibu, 'Nicole's House' is a poignant reminder of "what could have been".
