The Secret Tapes of the O.J. Case: The Untold Story(2015)

Synopsis

In 1994, O.J. Simpson - beloved athlete, movie star, spokesperson, and American hero - was charged for the brutal double murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Although ultimately acquitted on Oct 3, 1994, Simpson was the most famous American ever charged with murder and many - despite the "mountain of evidence" - had trouble believing that it could be true. But there was a dark side to O.J. Simpson that most people didn't know. Now for the first time, new interviews with many of O.J. and Nicole's closest friends - including Kris Jenner, Keith Zlomsowitch (Nicole's ex-boyfriend), Robin Greer (a close friend of Nicole's), Joe Kolkowitz (talent agent and member of O.J.'s inner circle), and Fred Levinson (longtime friend of O.J.'s who witnessed his womanizing and controlling behavior) - reveal Simpson's Jekyll and Hyde persona. Through these intimate revelations the portrait of a domineering narcissist emerges, one prone to lies, self-deception, psychological abuse, and domestic violence. The Secret Tapes of the O.J. Case: The Untold Story uses an unprecedented collection of exclusive audio and visual materials, most of which have never been broadcast. Highlights include a suicidal-sounding audio recording made by Simpson shortly before the infamous Bronco chase; deposition testimony of O.J. Simpson being caught in a web of lies while under oath; excerpts from Nicole Simpson's diaries and never before heard audio recordings of O.J.'s now deceased close friend Robert Kardashian (Kris Jenner's ex-husband) who stood by him throughout the "Trial of the Century" as his attorney and confidante only to be left with nagging doubt. Who was this man he thought he knew?
