In a shocking revelation, a new testimony has cast long shadows over an infamous American crime scene.
John Dunton, owner of a Los Angeles collection agency, claims O.J. Simpson orchestrated the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman with the help of the Gambino mob family.
According to the New York Post, this allegation was disclosed by Dunton to Hollywood private detective Paul Barresi following Simpson's death from cancer at the age of 76.
Dunton asserts that Simpson not only directed the tragic event but was also present at the murder scene back in 1994. The murders, which occurred on June 12 of that year, notoriously resulted in Nicole being stabbed multiple times and found nearly decapitated, while Goldman was also killed.
O.J. Simpson, a prominent figure in sports and entertainment, faced trial for these murders but was acquitted in one of the most publicized and contentious criminal trials ever.
John Dunton recollects the high stakes involved in keeping his ominous secret. Overwhelmed by fear, he refrained from disclosing these details earlier due to threats from Mafia associates.
Dunton's perilous situation escalated when he resisted testifying to a grand jury. A Gambino operative even threatened his life and his family's. His initial resistance to testify at court proceedings led to significant legal pressures.
The guy that put the gun in my mouth, he f–king whacked several people and if he whacked me, it wouldn’t be any different. He also said they’d whack my family too. When they threw me down on my knees and made me cross my ankles over and put a gun down my mouth, it was scary.
Due to the extreme threats he received, Dunton's former attorney, Robert Rentzer, worked to ensure his client was exempted from giving testimony. "There must have been some reason why Dunton didn’t want to testify," stated Rentzer, hinting at the grave risks his client faced.
These long-suppressed details have come to light only after the recent passing of O.J. Simpson, suggesting that Dunton felt secure enough to speak out with the principal individual involved no longer alive.
Highlighting the severity of the claims, John Dunton explained, "100 percent, The four guys that came, they were members of the Gambino family. They were involved in all kinds of stuff. You know what the mob does. The bottom line is everything was done with OJ’s direction. That’s what happened."
"He was there," Dunton continues, "I don’t know what he did, but he was there. He knew these guys were going over to Nicole’s house to kill her. He wanted to be there. I don’t know why. I’m glad he’s dead, to be honest. What he did was a horrible thing and I went through hell because of that.”
As the community and the nation grapple with this new information, the profound implications for historical understanding of the case are still unfolding. The claims are yet to be independently confirmed, and how this will impact the longstanding views on the case is uncertain. These revelations, if verified, could dramatically reshape the narrative around one of the most infamous murder cases in American history and could close a chapter that has perplexed the nation for decades.
