A new OJ Simpson documentary, ‘TMZ Presents: O.J. How He Really Did It,’ has revealed that the former NFL star’s best friend, Al Cowlings, had crucial information pertaining to the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

The murder case, which is being talked about again 30 years later due to Simpson’s recent passing, is connected to a house owned by reporter Harvey Levin.

Levin covered the trial for KCBS and bought the house in Hollywood Hills from Public Storage founder Wayne Hughes, according to TMZ.

Hughes, who died in 2021, used the house as a bachelor pad and threw parties there, with OJ and Nicole among the frequent guests.

Prosecutors wanted to call on Hughes during Simpson’s trial so he could testify about the times Nicole came to his house for help in the middle of the night, accusing the former running back of beating her. However, the judge did not allow his testimony.

After the murders in 1994, Hughes hired an LAPD officer named Jim Holcomb to install telephone equipment in his house, something he did in his spare time.

Jim met Cowlings, the driver of the infamous white Bronco during OJ’s low-speed chase, who is said to have told an adult film star he dated that the murder knife “sleeps with the fishes.”

 

Someone Knows What OJ Simpson’s Best Friend Told Wayne Hughes About The Murders

Harvey is also understood to have been aware that Cowlings told Wayne he needed help after the murders and would tell all he knew about the incident if he didn’t get that help.

Harvey reckons Holcomb knows what Cowlings told Hughes and questions Holcomb about it in the new documentary.

According to TMZ, “Jim’s reaction is revealing, to say the least.”

The documentary is free to watch on the Tubi app or Tubi.com. Check it out if you want to know what he had to say.

OJ Simpson’s Attorney Refutes Shocking Claim About Former Running Back’s Death

O.J. Simpson’s lawyer has refuted a widely reported claim about the former NFL running back’s death.

Simpson passed away from prostate cancer at the age of 76 on April 10. His children broke the news via social media, with claims that he was surrounded by family members at the time of his passing.

However, his longtime attorney, Malcolm LaVergne, has said that this is not true and that there was only one person with Simpson when he died.

While LaVergne did not identify that person, he told the Associated Press that it was a close family member.

“Longtime Simpson lawyer Malcolm LaVergne told the Associated Press that an April 11 post on X from Simpson’s family that said he died surrounded by family was inaccurate,” the New York Post notes.

“Instead, Simpson had with him only one person — a “close family member” whom LaVergne refused to identify.“

 

Simpson has four children, two of whom were with his ex-wife Nicole Brown, who he was accused of murdering in 1994 along with her friend, Ronald Goldman. He was acquitted after a lengthy, publicized trial.

Reports claimed that both sets of his kids were with him during his final days.

“At first they shared good O.J. But still he was famous,” LaVergne said. “And then, in 1994 on, they kind of had to share bad boy O.J. with the world.

“But at the end of the day, these children just lost a father. And they have the added burden that he is one of the most famous people on the planet, and who is polarizing and who is surrounded by controversy.”

OJ Simpson Did Not Offer A Deathbed Confession

Following OJ Simpson’s death earlier this month, there was some speculation over a possible deathbed confession from the former star running back.

His attorney, now in charge of his estate, has confirmed that no such thing occurred.

Malcolm LaVergne has also disclosed that Simpson was insistent on the Goldman family not getting any of his money after his passing despite civil proceedings finding him liable for the deaths in 1997.
