This penultimate episode in the weakest of the six programs in the series. The main problem is that the investigators get away from the evidence to engage in hypothetical thinking and far too much speculative analysis.
The program begins with an examination of the book "If I Did It: Confessions of The Killer," as told by O.J. Simpson to a ghost writer. Eventually, Fred Goldman won the rights to the book publication. Lou Brown, the father of victim Nicole, failed in his legal bid to prevent publication of the lurid book.
The investigative team of Kris, Derrick, and Bill track down the ghost writer, who is Pablo Fenjves. Astonishingly, the writer was a neighbor of Nicole Simpson, who testified in the criminal trial of hearing the wailing dog on the night of the murders. Fenjves's testimony held to establish the prosecution's timeline of approximately 10:15pm as the time of the murders of Nicole and Ron.
The brief interview with Pablo Fenjves does not shed light on how much of the story related by O.J. Simpson to his ghostwriter may be grounded in the truth. The core of the story is that O.J. and an accomplice named "Charlie" drove to Bundy together on the night of June 12. Despite Charlie's attempt to prevent the murders, O.J. went ahead with the atrocities. The investigators may an unpersuasive attempt to argue that the the book is a way of projecting Jason Simpson into the story.
A better portion of the program features a brief clip with testimony from Nicole's neighbor Cora Fishman, who recounts how Nicole believed that Jason Simpson was spying on her.
Jill Shively, who was never called by the prosecution because she had already benefited monetarily from her eyewitness account, claims that she observed O.J. Simpson driving the Bronco away from the crime scene. She was so focused on the driver that she could not tell whether or not there was a passenger in the vehicle.
Limousine driver Allan Park recounts how he had arrived at Rockingham by 10:20, observed no vehicle, and was unable to reach O.J. by phone within the house. Park observed bags outside the home that were already packed for O.J.'s trip to Chicago. He also observed two cars parked in the driveway of the Rockingham home. One of the cars was O.J.'s Bentley. But the owner of the other vehicle has never been identified.
Kato Kaelin talks in a congenial fashion with the investigators. While Kato firmly believes that O.J. committed the murders, he is surprised to learn that Jason was never interviewed by the LAPD.
A surprise witness, Michael Martin, furtively meets in a garage basement with Kris, Derrick, and Bill. Martin claims to be a private investigator who was on assignment on the night of the murders, staking out alleyway directly in back of Nicole Simpson's home on Bunday. Martin claims that he witnessed the arrival of both O.J. and Jason Simpson in the Bronco on the night of the murders. The investigators are put off by the fact that Martin has waited over two decades to come forward with his story and ask him to take a polygraph test.
Overall, the program did not add any new evidence to their investigation. Much of the program seemed like filler for the six-part series.
