O.J. Simpson Case: New Evidence Points to Accomplice
18 Oct
Summary
- New reporting suggests O.J. Simpson had an accomplice in the 1994 murders.
- Joey Ippolito, a former associate of Al Cowlings, may have helped dispose of evidence.
- Ippolito reportedly knew the location of the murder weapon, according to federal agents.
New developments in the O.J. Simpson case suggest the former football star may have had an accomplice present during the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. While Simpson's 2007 book "If I Did It" outlined a hypothetical scenario involving assistance, recent reporting indicates this may have been factual.
The reporting identifies Joey Ippolito, described as a colorful figure with a criminal past and an associate of Al Cowlings, as a possible accomplice. Cowlings was the driver of the Ford Bronco during Simpson's infamous televised police chase.
In the summer of 1995, Ippolito, then a prison escapee, reportedly provided information to federal agents in exchange for a lighter sentence. He claimed to know the location of the murder weapon, a detail agents found credible and which aided in his legal situation.
