O.J. Simpson has allegedly hit a new low. The disgraced football star, currently behind bars in Nevada, wants to sell the knife he may have used in the murder of ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman for $5 million.
A source close to Simpson said, “[O.J. is] looking for a strictly cash deal so that the money can be deposited in offshore accounts and can’t be traced directly to him.”
Nicole and Ron were brutally slashed to death outside her West Los Angeles home on June 12, 1994, leading to the most sensational murder trial in recent American history.
The knife was never found.
The knife is said to be stashed somewhere in the Bahamas, and has been in Simpson’s possession ever since the 1995 double murders that divided the nation. “O.J. said he’d reveal the location once a firm deal — for a minimum of $5 million — was reached,”added the insider.
Simpson has claimed innocence in the murders but released a book detailing how he would have killed the couple.
In 2008, Simpson was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a botched robbery attempt in which he tried to get back some of his memorabilia, and has filed an appeal in the ruling.
