In the 25 years since the murders of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, Goldman’s sister has always marked the anniversary in silence -- but this year she’s speaking out for the first time.
"I usually reserve the peace and quiet of the day to myself," Kim Goldman told ABC News."This is the year of confronting."
"He put himself in harm's way to protect somebody else," said Kim Goldman, who was three and a half years younger then her brother."His last act of his life really showed you exactly who he was -- his dedication and his commitment to his friends and the people that he loved and cared about. Even Nicole, for all we know who was an acquaintance. He didn't run."
Kim Goldman on Wednesday is launching a 10-episode podcast called"Confronting: O.J. Simpson." In the series she interviews key members of the case, from prosecutor Marcia Clark to Simpson house guest Kato Kaelin."O.J. pulled me into the kitchen by himself and said, 'You know I was here with you.' And I said, 'No, I don't,'" Kaelin said.
"He would be 50," she said."It's really hard to kind of wrap my head around who he would have become. Those are ... realizations that are really hard for me, because they'll never be."Kim Goldman says she's told her 15-year-old son about how his uncle was killed, though she left out"the brutality" of the crime.
Though life moves on, Kim Goldman says the hardest weeks of each year are from June 12 -- the anniversary of her brother's death -- through July 2, his birthday.
