New York: Macmillan, USA, 1996. First Edition [stated]. Second Printing [stated]. Hardcover. 24 cm. xi, [1], 307, [1] pages. Illustrations. Appendix. Index. Uses evidence and forensic material from the crime scene to create alternate scenarios of what actually happened on the night of the infamous 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Donald Freed (born May 13, 1932) is an American playwright, novelist, screenwriter, historian, teacher and activist. According to Freed's friend and colleague, the late Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter, "(Freed) is a writer of blazing imagination, courage and insight. His work is a unique and fearless marriage of politics and art." Freed also has been an investigative journalist publishing articles and books related mostly to politics and civil rights movements. Freed was affiliated with the Citizens Research and Investigation Committee (C.R.I.C.), a Los Angeles-based group of investigative journalists active in the 1960s and 1970s. Freed, historian and screenwriter, wrote The Killing of RFK. Briggs was director of research at the Southern California College of Optometry. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: The authors of this provocative inquiry into the O.J. Simpson double-murder case maintain that ""[t]he prosecution was shackled by their obsession with O.J. as a berserk Othello,"" a jealous lone killer. In their estimate, ""Simpson's alibi certainly has `the ring of truth.'" Using detailed time lines and maps, they propose several alternative scenarios for the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Some scenarios posit two killers, with Simpson as a co-conspirator or bystander. In other scenarios, Goldman was the primary target, and the authors point to a pattern of drug- and mob-related violence surrounding Goldman and O.J. Simpson. Another theory advanced is that a professional assassin employed by a drug cartel committed the murders. The authors sift numerous details that their own investigative team reportedly uncovered, plus evidence that, in their opinion, has been unexplored by the LAPD. Their presentation, however, relies too much on anonymous sources, which weakens their case considerably. Condition: Very good / Very good.
