In brief
Unsealed court documents reveal a federal informant may have provided information about the disposal of the murder weapon in the 1994 killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Unsealed court files suggest a federal informant told prosecutors O.J. Simpson may have had help disposing of the murder weapon…
New details emerge decades later
More than thirty years after O.J. Simpson's acquittal in 1995, newly unsealed court documents reveal prosecutors received information about the murder weapon's disposal from Simpson's friend.
Federal informant knew about weapon
Joey Ippolito, a convicted drug trafficker turned federal informant, allegedly became privy to facts about Simpson's disposal of the murder weapon, which was never found, court records show.
Brother claims he saw evidence
Ippolito's brother Sam told the New York Times that Joey returned the night of the killings with what appeared to be blood on his hands and a bag containing a heavy object.
Skepticism about the account
Former prosecutor Marcia Clark said she had no knowledge of Ippolito and therefore he must have had no credible or relevant evidence to provide. Legal analysts question the brother's credibility.
“had no credible or relevant evidence to provide”
Estate executor calls for closure
Simpson's estate executor Malcolm LaVergne said the three people with firsthand knowledge are now deceased, and continued theories may do little to bring meaningful resolution to those who suffered.
“None of those three people can speak for themselves today”
The main idea
Unsealed court files suggest a federal informant told prosecutors O.J. Simpson may have had help disposing of the murder weapon after the 1994 killings, more than three decades after his acquittal.
