O.J. Simpson's former manager, Norman Pardo, who worked with the former football star for nearly 20 years and describes himself as a friend, says he is executive-producing a docuseries about the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman with co-executive producer Dylan Howard. He says the documentary will reveal that Simpson "didn't act alone."
Pardo says he's pitching the docuseries to networks next week, including Netflix.
In a 2016 interview, Pardo told Tampa Bay radio station 102.5 The Bone that he met the disgraced football star in 1999, four years after his acquittal. At the time, he described O.J. as a "great guy," but added, "there's something wrong, I think, upstairs" adding that O.J. would sometimes "do things he shouldn't do," like the If I Did It book, for which he was paid in cash so he wouldn't have to give anything to the Goldman family, who won a wrongful death civil suit against him for $33.5 million in 1997.
Howard has produced a variety of documentary miniseries under the title An American Murder Mystery, including Natalie Wood: An American Murder Mystery and Jon Benet: An American Murder Mystery for the Investigation Discovery network.
Pardo says they've assembled more than 70 hours of never-before-seen video of Simpson for the miniseries. "For the first time, the most thorough investigation into the murder ever conducted will be shared with America. We have assembled a team of internationally renowned criminal investigators, experts and lawyers. And they believe they can not only prove Simpson was involved in their deaths — but for the first time reveal he had at least one accomplice." ~Alexandra Heilbron
