25 years after murders, OJ Simpson says 'Life is fine'

25 Years After Murders, O.J. Simpson Says "Life Is Fine"

After 25 years overshadowed by one of America's most infamous murder cases, O.J. Simpson describes his life as being in a "no negative zone." Speaking in a phone interview, the 71-year-old Simpson told The Associated Press he is healthy and content living in Las Vegas.

Simpson and his children prefer not to dwell on the events of June 12, 1994, when his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were fatally stabbed. That day changed Simpson’s image from Hall of Fame football star to murder suspect.

"We don't need to go back and relive the worst day of our lives. The subject of the moment is the subject I will never revisit again. My family and I have moved on to what we call the 'no negative zone.' We focus on the positives."

Goldman Family's Perspective

For Ronald Goldman's family, the pain remains raw. His sister Kim expressed that "closure" is not a fitting term when dealing with tragedy, loss, and trauma.

"Closure isn't a word that resonates with me. I don't think it's applicable when it comes to tragedy and trauma and loss of life."

Kim Goldman shared that grief does not overwhelm her, but every important moment reminds her of what her brother will never experience.

"I don't suffocate in my grief. But every milestone that my kid hits, every milestone that I hit, you know, those are just reminders of what I'm not able to share with my brother and what he is missing out on."

Summary

O.J. Simpson has moved on to a positive phase of life, while the Goldmans continue to feel the lasting impact of their loss.

Author's summary: O.J. Simpson embraces a positive outlook 25 years after the murders, while the Goldman family still grapples with enduring grief and loss.
