25 years after the killings of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, Ron Goldman's father tells LesterHoltNBC that 'real justice' would have put O.J. Simpson in prison.
To Fred Goldman, he will always simply be"the killer."
Ahead of the 25th anniversary of the slayings — for which no one has ever been criminally convicted — Simpson says that"In a 35-minute interview with Lester Holt, the anchor of"NBC Nightly News," Goldman, 78, still can't bring himself to utter Simpson's name. He is just"the killer." When jurors returned with a verdict of not guilty,"it was hard to comprehend, at that moment, what had just been said," he says."It wasn't possible. It wasn't possible that that was their decision. It just didn't seem possible."
In never-before-heard voicemails he shared with NBC News, Ron's friends call to inquire about his whereabouts, and one caller can be heard saying:"We heard something on the news. I just want to make sure it's not you."
