HOLLYWOOD, FLA, June 14 -- OJ Simpson, who had vowed he “would not rest” until the killer of estranged wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman was caught, says he has cracked the case, but was too late to see the perpetrator brought to justice. Simpson, who was acquitted of the killings in 1995 after a lengthy trial and public debate, told reporters today that the investigation he launched several years ago had finally born fruit.

“We got him red handed,” Simpson said. “That son of a bitch Ray Charles did it, and now he’s dead and will never face justice.”

The evidence, which Simpson says is “unpossible to dispute” is said to point directly to the beloved entertainer, who died June 10 at his home in Beverly Hills, CA, as the killer of Brown, 35, and Goldman, 25, on June 12, 1994. Simpson says Charles, who was 73 at the time of his death, was a “lunatic” who was jealous of OJ for being successful at football, a sport Charles could not play due to his blindness, which had afflicted him since the age of 7.


Beloved entertainer, Ray Charles,
died June 10 at 73.

“Sure, everyone loved [Ray] Charles,” Simpson said, “I mean who would have thought the guy who sang ‘What I Say’ and entertained millions could have perpetuated [sic] such a heinous attack. Certainly not me. But he wanted what I had, the Heismann, the long and fruitful career, the eyes, the whole package, and went screwy. It’s very, very sad.”

A spokesperson for the Charles family said that Simpson’s evidence was “horseshit” and “not worth a second glance by any sane individual.”

“It’s beyond ludicrous to think that there’s any evidence that Ray Charles murdered those people,” the spokesperson said. “And anyway, he was in Las Vegas at the time.”
