It’s been a big year for the millions of people across the world, who are addicted to O.J. Simpson and his chronicled rise and fall — all leading to him being acquitted of double murder.
Earlier this year FX premiered the scintillating — American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson. ESPN 30 For 30 outdid that, as Ezra Edelman’s O.J.: Made in America docuseries was one of the best put together chronicles I’ve ever seen.
With the regurgitation of the 1994 trial of O.J. Simpson — comes the storied opinions of the prosecution team that infamously lost to Johnnie Cochran and O.J.’s super legal team.
Chris Darden obsessed-over the trial — ultimately taking the blame for Simpson getting acquitted after he was unable to fit his hand into the now famous bloody gloves.
Darden was a guest on the The View Thursday — and shared some candid thoughts about rumors of Simpson confessing on multiple occasions.
“I think he confessed it,” Darden said. “I think he confessed it during the trial, and I think he confessed it in the L.A. County Jail, but we weren’t allowed access to the conversation or the content of the confession.” In fact, Darden believes Simpson has “probably confessed it” on “a million” different occasions since 1994. Darden’s comments come just weeks after Ron Shipp, a former cop and longtime friend of Simpson’s, theorized to the New York Daily News that a murder confession could be coming soon:
“I hope one day he actually will rid us of all the doubt and all the conspiracy theories and say ‘sorry I cannot go to prison (because of double jeopardy laws), but I am sorry I did it,” says Shipp, who believes that will happen.
“I do,” he said. “I got a call about a conspiracy theory about Jason (Simpson’s son) being the killer and I thought, man, come on Juice, just say ‘my son didn’t do it.'”
Darden went onto say that O.J. may have actually “confessed during the trial” to Rosey Grier, ex-NFL star and minister.
