During an interview with Vanity Fair, Ron Shipp — who was also friends with Simpson — said he believes O.J. killed his wife.
“His mom is a very religious person,” Shipp said. “If you remember during the Bronco chase, he kept saying, ‘I want my mom.’ I just think that one of these days, I’m hoping he has whatever his mom taught him spiritually, and he’ll say, ‘This is what I did. Forgive me.’
Shipp said the moment he heard about Nicole’s death, he knew it was O.J. who killed her.
“Being a cop, I said to myself, ‘Man, he killed her,'” he said.
“I’d been on stabbings as a cop and I just remember whenever people repeatedly stab people, they always seem to cut themselves. That never left my mind. When I got there, the first thing I noticed was O.J. had his left finger bandaged.”
“I was only there about 10 minutes or so before I asked him what happened to his finger in front of everybody. He didn’t look at me. He had three TVs and he was watching every single one of the channels and talking to the TVs. By this time, the media was saying that he was a possible suspect. He told me he cut his finger in Chicago on a glass.”
“That night, he changed the story two more times.”

Shipp later testified against Simpson.
“What really made me testify, and I didn’t realize what Chris [Darden] was doing at the time, but he left the homicide book in front of me and left me alone for a while,” Shipp continued.
“I didn’t even realize it was there at first, because I was getting kind of angry because he was keeping me waiting. But then I opened it up and I saw what the pictures were.” (RELATED: This Is What O.J. Simpson Told Kris Jenner About His Wife’s Murder)
“When Chris came back and sat down, I said, ‘Chris, you don’t have to say another word. I’m testifying.'”
