Surely you remember the ‘90s circus that was the O.J. Simpson murder trial. The infamous white Bronco freeway chase that lasted an hour and a half and was watched by most of America. The glove and Johnnie Cockran’s famous “if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit” statement. The racist remarks made by LAPD officer Mark Fuhrmann. The acquittal followed by the guilty verdict in the civil suit of the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Then, the book that Simpson wrote titled “If I Did It.”
What gall, what arrogance…what…if he didn’t do it?

Many people have never had a doubt in their minds that O.J. Simpson was guilty of killing his ex-wife and who he thought was her lover. But, one man does – Clay Rogers.
Clay is the brother of Glen Rogers, a drifter who was sentenced to death for murders in Florida and California. After he was arrested, Glen told investigators that he had killed as many as 70 women. He is now awaiting execution in Florida with no hope of an appeal.
Clay has narrated a new documentary titled “My Brother The Serial Killer” that will air tomorrow on Investigation Discovery. In it, Clay claims that Glen killed Brown Simpson and Goldman because “I’ve seen proof that he was there.”
Now, don’t go thinking O.J. may be completely innocent (I doubt many of you are). According to Clay, Glen came to Los Angeles in 1994 and worker as a painter at Brown Simpson’s house. Clay said Glen told him that Brown Simpson had money and he was “taking her down.”
Glen told criminal profiler Anthony Meoli through letters that O.J. had hired him to break into Brown Simpson’s condo to steal some diamond earrings he had given her. But, that wasn’t the only thing on O.J.’s mind. He told Glen that he might have to kill her. Clay claims that Glen not only killed the pair, but took a gold angel pin off Brown Simpson’s dead body and gave it to him mother.
Many involved in the case think this is nonsense. Fred Goldman, father of Ronald, said that there is “overwhelming evidence” that only one person – O.J. Simpson – killed his son and Nicole. Goldman’s sister, Kim, said she was “appalled by the level of irresponsibility demonstrated by the network and the producers of this so-called documentary.”
The Los Angeles Police Department issued a statement saying it would investigate the claims, but was “quite confident” that they know who committed the murders and it wasn’t Glen.
Still, Clay insists that he is “absolutely certain” that his brother killed Brown Simpson and Goldman.
