The New York Times has re-examined the O. J. Simpson case, revealing that a government informant, Joseph 'Joey' Ippolito, provided critical information about the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Ippolito, a convicted drug trafficker and mafia associate, was a close friend of Al Cowlings, Simpson’s confidant. Newly unsealed records show he told law enforcement the location of the murder weapon—still never found—and details of Simpson’s attempt to evade prosecution. Despite this, Ippolito was never called as a witness during the 1995 trial.
His brother, Sam Ippolito, now claims Joey was at the murder scene and helped discard a bag containing a heavy object in a construction site dumpster. The findings challenge the long-held narrative that Simpson acted alone.
