25 Years After Murders, O.J. Simpson Says Life Is Fine
After a quarter century living under the shadow of one of America’s most infamous murder cases, O.J. Simpson says he has entered what he calls the “no negative zone.”
Living Without Looking Back
In a phone interview with the Associated Press, the 71-year-old former football star shared that he is healthy and content in Las Vegas. According to Simpson, neither he nor his children wish to revisit the events of June 12, 1994, when his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were killed.
“We don’t need to go back and relive the worst day of our lives,” he said. “The subject of the moment is the subject I will never revisit again. My family and I have moved on to what we call the ‘no negative zone.’ We focus on the positives.”
The Goldman Family’s Continuing Pain
For the Goldman family, however, the wounds remain. Ronald Goldman’s sister, Kim Goldman, said she still struggles with the loss.
“Closure isn’t a word that resonates with me. I don’t think it’s applicable when it comes to tragedy and trauma and loss of life,” she said. “I don’t suffocate in my grief.”
