25 Years After Murders, O.J. Simpson Says 'Life Is Fine'
After 25 years living under the shadow of one of the nation's most infamous murder cases, O.J. Simpson describes his life as entering a "no negative zone."
Simpson's Reflection on His Life
In a telephone interview, the 71-year-old Simpson told The Associated Press he is healthy and happy living in Las Vegas. He and his children avoid revisiting the tragic events of June 12, 1994, when his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were fatally stabbed.
"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
The pain, however, remains strong for Ronald Goldman's family.
"Closure," said Goldman's sister Kim, "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."
"I don't suffocate in my grief," she added.
Summary
O.J. Simpson embraces a positive outlook after decades, while the Goldman family continues to grapple with enduring grief and loss.
