Jason Simpson is the son of former NFL running back, broadcaster and actor O. J. Simpson, who was tried and acquitted for the murders of his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman on June 12, 1994. Much later, in 2012, private investigator William C. Dear, in his book ‘O.J. Is Innocent And I Can Prove It’, claimed that his investigation finds Jason to be the actual culprit.
The idea took hold because Dear had previously investigated the murder of an Ohio man named Dean Milo and had secured 11 people, including his brother, in a different case. However, Jason was never tried legally and is thought to be living a quiet life in Atlanta today. In 2016, the coverage of the event on FX’s TV mini-series The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story resurrected him to media attention. Who Is Jason Simpson, O. J. Simpson’s Son?
Meet Jason Simpson, O. J. Simpson’s Son
O. J. Simpson’s son, Jason Simpson, was never a suspect in his father’s trial for the murders. After the publication of O.J. Is Innocent And I Can Prove It in 2012, he became the subject of interest when Dear wrote about his 18-year long study on the two murders, including his list of suspects, visits to the crime scene and other relevant locations, and interviews he conducted.
He created a timeline of events, gathered evidence, and debunked alibis to undermine the LAPD’s mistaken assumptions. He said it was not O.J. Simpson who murdered his ex-wife and her friend, but rather his son Jason in a fit of rage, stating that his father showed up at the crime scenes afterward. The assertion generated a media frenzy, with him becoming the topic of conversation in gossip rags all over town overnight.
