William Dear's New Book, O.J. Is Innocent and I Can Prove It, Claims O.J.'s Son, Jason, Committed the Murders
This is nothing short of shocking and bizarre: a private investigator named William Dear has written a book that details his six-year investigation into the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, and Dear's conclusion: O.J. Simpson is innocent, but his son, Jason, committed the murders.
In O.J. Is Innocent and I Can Prove It -- published on April 2 from Skyhorse Publishing -- Dear details the investigation that led him to the conclusion that O.J. Simpson was at the murder scene when his ex-wife and her friend Goldman were killed, but not until after the murders had happened.
Radar Online reports Dear's book says O.J. Simpson arrived at the scene and "uncovered substantial circumstantial evidence pointing to (his son) Jason being the killer."
Radar reports that Dear's evidence came from a storage locker and Jason Simpson's trash, and that Dear made the same allegations two years ago in the documentary Overlooked Suspect.
Among the evidence -- again, circumstantial evidence -- that points to Jason Simpson as the suspect, according to the U.K. Daily Mail:
-- Dear says he went through Jason Simpson's abandoned storage locker and found a hunting knife that forensic experts say is the murder weapon;
-- Dear says he found a photo of Jason Simpson wearing a knit hat, similar to the one found at the crime scene;
-- Dear says Jason Simpson -- O.J. Simpson's oldest son, born with O.J.'s first wife, Marguerite -- assaulted his girlfriend two months before the Nicole Simpson/Goldman murders;
-- A New York Post article claimed Jason Simpson has "intermittent rage disorder";
O.J. Simpson, who was acquitted in the murders in the infamous "trial of the century" in 1995, was later found liable for Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman's deaths in a civil suit in 1997.
The football legend is currently serving a 33-year sentence in a Nevada prison after being convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping in a case that involved O.J. Simpson sports memorabilia.
Jason Simpson, 41, meanwhile, who was never considered a suspect in the murders, is a chef working in Miami, Radar reports, and has not commented on the allegations made by Dear.
