Thanks all. Yes, now I do remember that Robert Kardashian died of cancer. I'd forgotton about that.
I always felt that Kardashian knew for a fact that O.J. murdered Ron & Nicole. Remember O.J.'s duffle bag that mysteriously disappeared with Bob Kardashian?
I believe the Shapiro/Cochran defense team purposely added Bob Kardashian to the defense team so he could not be compelled to testify against O.J.. That also meant Kardashian - in later years - could never reveal the incriminating contents of O.J.'s duffel that he was given by O.J. and subsequently removed from the Rockingham residence.
I'll never ever forget the look of shock on Kardashian's face when the O.J. jury verdict was read. There was *no joy or happiness* - just sheer unadulterated shock. He was expecting the same *true verdict* as the rest of us. I do remember that in the months & years after that racially motivated verdict - Kardashian separated himself from communication & friendship with Simpson.
I was gratified to hear him say he thought O.J. was guilty on LKL - but, IMO - it was too little too late. He truly could have made the difference during the trial when it really counted.
IMO - Kardashian probably suffered with his *guilt of silence & complicity* as much as with the debilitation of his throat cancer. I had hoped he would have finally stepped up to the plate and "told the unvarnished truth" in a validated affidavit before his death. Sadly, as far as we know - that hasn't happened.
Does anyone happen to recall the name of the book that Kardashian authored or was the chief source for another author?
