That was always a big rumor going around here at the time. Here is what I remember, because it sounded very plausible.
First of all, Jason was very close to his mother. And he hated Nicole for the pain his mother went through. Watching his mom's pain of being replaced by a much younger blonde was very difficult and painful for him.
The way I remember it, Jason was a sous chef at a nice restaurant in the Brentwood area at the time. So he had his own collection of sharp knives he kept with him. And the rumor was that the entire family was supposed to go and eat at the restaurant where Jason worked after the family event at the school that day. And he was humiliated because nobody showed up there. Nicole apparently derailed those plans and had that smaller dinner at the other restaurant instead. Jason was said by some to be very very angry about that and others said that he had a very bad temper.
So the rumor around town was that OJ was covering for Jason and hoping to be found not guilty, but was not going to turn his son is.
It also would make sense that the killing was so severe and violent, because he probably had attraction to her, and yet hated her because of his moms pain.
I have always had this possibility in the back of my mind.
eta: he had assaulted his gf 2 months before this and was diagnosed with ' RAGE DISORDER. '
And click on the look and look at his picture.
