'OJ is Innocent': New book claims Simpson's son committed gruesome 1994 murders


'OJ is Innocent': New book claims Simpson's son committed gruesome 1994 murders

O.J. is Innocent and I Can Prove It: The Shocking Truth about the Murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman
New claims: Private investigator William C Dear has a novel theory
A Texas private investigator claims he knows who really killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman in 1994. And it wasn't OJ Simpson. 
In a new book, 'OJ is Innocent and I Can Prove It,' William C. Dear alleges Simpson went on trial, and was acquitted of murder, in an effort to deflect attention from the true killer: His son Jason.
Dear says Simpson was at the crime scene -- but not until after his ex-wife and her friend had been stabbed to death.
After a six-year investigation, Dear says he has found circumstantial evidence that links Jason Simpson, 41, to the murders. 
The private eye claims he dug through Jason Simpson's garbage and his abandoned storage locker in search of new evidence, the New York Post reported.
In the search, Dear says he found a hunting knife that forensic experts say is the murder weapon that was never recovered during the police investigation. 
He also found photographs of Jason Simpson wearing a knit cap, similar to one that was discovered at the crime scene. Prosecutors were unable to link the hat to OJ Simpson.
Dear calls Jason Simpson 'the overlooked suspect' and produced a documentary film released in 2010 detailing the accusations that he is the real culprit behind the murder. 
Dear says two months before the murders, Jason Simpson assaulted his girlfriend. The chef also deals with 'intermittent rage disorder,' according to the New York Post.

Despite these alleged findings, Jason Simpson's DNA and fingerprints were never compared to those found at the crime scene. He was never interviewed by police, either, the Post reports. 
OJ Simpson was the prime suspect for the murders because he helped to cover up his son's crimes and, in effect, allowed himself to take the fall, the book claims. 
The Post could not reach Jason Simpson, who is working as a chef in Miami, for a comment.

Babies treated in the womb for obesity: Overweight mothers-to-be get diabetes pill to cut the risk of having a fat child NHS trial has been started in attempt to halt obesity epidemic If it is a success, treatment could be widespread in five years But there is unease over problem that could be solved by exercise and diet


Babies treated in the womb for obesity: Overweight mothers-to-be get diabetes pill to cut the risk of having a fat child

  • NHS trial has been started in attempt to halt obesity epidemic
  • If it is a success, treatment could be widespread in five years
  • But there is unease over problem that could be solved by exercise and diet
Babies are being medicated in the womb in an attempt to prevent them from being  born obese.
In a world first, dangerously overweight mothers-to-be in four British cities have started taking a diabetes drug during their pregnancy.
The doctors behind the controversial NHS trial say that obesity among pregnant women is reaching epidemic proportions and they need to act now to protect the health of tomorrow's children.

However, there is likely to be unease about resorting to medication in pregnancy for a problem that can be treated through changes in diet and exercise.
If the strategy is a success, the treatment could be in widespread use in as little as five years, with tens of thousands of overweight but otherwise healthy mothers-to-be drugged each year.
The Daily Mail recently revealed the rise of the 'sumo baby', with the number of newborns weighing more than 11lb soaring by 50 per cent over the last four years.
 
More than 15 per cent of pregnant women are obese. This raises their odds of dying in pregnancy, of their baby being stillborn and of a host of pregnancy complications, some of which can be fatal.
Big babies are around twice as likely to grow into overweight adults, suggesting obesity and the lifetime of ill-health it can bring is 'programmed' in the womb. The trial involves 400 pregnant women in Liverpool, Coventry, Sheffield and Edinburgh.
They have started taking metformin, which has been safely used by diabetics for decades and is cleared for the treatment of diabetes in pregnancy. It costs just pence per tablet.
Doctors say if the NHS trial is successful the treatment could be in widespread use in as little as five years

Some of the participants have already had their babies but many more births will be needed before it is clear if the treatment works. Mothers-to-be elsewhere are due to take part.
The study aims to exploit the ability of metformin to lower levels of the hormone insulin in the bloodstream.
Obese women make more insulin than other mothers-to-be and this leads to a greater nutrition supply reaching the baby.

It is hoped that lowering levels of insulin will reduce the supply and so cut the odds of babies being born obese.
Treatment with metformin may redistribute the baby's fat stores, reducing the deposits around the liver and other organs.
Study leader Professor Jane Norman of Edinburgh University said: 'One of the challenges is that many women feel perfectly healthy but there is very good evidence that women who are obese have an increased risk of pregnancy problems and their babies are at risk, and we'd like to reduce that risk.'
Addressing concerns about unborn babies being medicated for a problem that many would say could be treated by diet and exercise, she said: 'I absolutely support the improvement of diet and encouraging exercise.
'But we are increasingly faced with women who start their pregnancy obese. Saying at that stage to eat less and exercise more is not particularly helpful.'
Obesity experts have welcomed the study, which is funded by the Medical Research Council, the NHS's health research arm and the baby charity Tommy's, saying that while the situation is not ideal, it needs to be tackled.
Patrick O'Brien of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists described the study as 'very important'.
He said: 'When you are overweight in pregnancy you are at increased risk of just about every complication you can think of.'


This is Liverpool's worst run of league results for 59 years... still King, Kenny?


This is Liverpool's worst run of league results for 59 years... still King, Kenny? 

Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool reign plunged deeper into crisis on Sunday after his side's collapse at Newcastle ended with him tearing into his players for their lack of discipline.
Goalkeeper Pepe Reina was sent off for butting James Perch and striker Andy Carroll was involved in a foulmouthed spat with Dalglish as Newcastle eased to a 2-0 win.

That left them 11 points ahead of a Liverpool team suffering their worst run of form since 1953 and heading for their worst finish in the Barclays Premier League. 
Dalglish said: 'We started well enough, passed and moved and looked quite threatening. 
'But it ended up with a lot of frustration and disappointment and I think that resulted in the actions that Pepe took. He got a deserved red card. 
'And then Andy came off and went up the tunnel. He was frustrated with the way the game had gone. Not just for himself but for the team.

'We have not got a problem with people showing desperation or disappointment or frustration. But we need to channel it better. But we will try to remain calm and sort out the problems that we have.' 
Reina's dismissal rules him out of the FA Cup semi-final against Everton.

Although Newcastle defender Perch's reaction was exaggerated, referee Martin Atkinson had no option but to dismiss the Spaniard. 
To add to Dalglish's woes, former Newcastle favourite Carroll, who he signed for £35million 15 months ago, mouthed obscenities at his manager and stormed down the tunnel after Dalglish substituted him in the 80th minute on his first return to Tyneside.

Papiss Cisse, Carroll's successor in the No 9 shirt, scored twice to condemn Dalglish to his sixth defeat in seven games. 
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said: 'Cisse was terrific. I felt for Andy. He is a terrific lad and he is having a difficult year but he'll come back.'

With a figure like that, model Abbey Crouch is always going to attract attention.
But holidaymakers in Dubai could have been forgiven for doing a double-take at the WAG yesterday after it looked like she was wearing her underwear on the beach.
However, the mother-of-one was creating an optical illusion by opting for a lace-print lingerie-style bikini.

Accompanied by her one-year-old daughter Sophia, the 25-year-old Scouser soaked up the sun in a £230 Jets by Jessika Allen two-piece.
Mrs Crouch had protected her baby's head from the sun with a colourful headscarf and lashings of suncream as the toddler played in the sand in a white and bikini bikini bottoms.
 
As mother-and-daughter enjoyed the beach, Abbey spent a lot of time on the phone and used it to take photos - perhaps she was sending home some candid shots to her footballer husband Peter because he was missing out on all the fun.
With husband Peter, 31, back in England due to his footballing commitments with Stoke City, Abbey has been staying at the luxury five-star Grosvenor House Hotel.

The trip marks her second visit to the hotel after she brought her mother Karen over for the opening last November.
No doubt Mrs Crouch will be staying in a luxury suite at the hotel, where rooms range in price from £200 to £400 a night.
This latest trip marks Abbey's fifth holiday since becoming a mother to little Sophia on March 14 last year.
Last September, they enjoyed a family holiday to the Italian island of Capri and a honeymoon in Ibiza.
The family also had a pre-wedding break in Sardinia - where they visit every year - just days before their lavish wedding in Leicestershire.
