Does anyone have actual information about Nicole Brown Simpson? What was her occupation? - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 18:36, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)

She was a waitress in a Beverly Hills nightclub before meeting OJ. I'll add that info. Also, Denise is older than Nicole, not younger. Sara

Nightclub waitress or country club waitress? there is a difference.

[edit] Rewrite

I've rewritten the entire article with what I think is a more biographical tone. I removed several bits of info that were of relevance only to the trial, and added a line directing readers to O.J.'s article. I also removed the {stub} template, bc I don't think there's much more to be said about her. Eaglizard 11:24, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Someone might want to fix that "O.J. did it." line at the end and at least specify in which cases he was acquitted (criminal) and in which he was found liable, at least monetarily (civil suit). And the description of the law-related discrepencies can be relegated to the appropriate Wikipedia entires on the various law suits and how the American justice system works. The case was a sensitive issue, so maybe the words in this article should be more appropriate so as not to offend anyone. Also, it's just unprofessional to write something so blunt and unsubstantiated as "O.J. did it" based off of personal hunches like "We all know who did it..." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.135.55.85 (talk contribs) 18:21, 3 November 2006

[edit] Why is this in the the category: usolved murders?

We all know who murdered her. Just because "the authorities" in your country consider it unsolved doesn't mean wikipedia does, by this logic the Tiananmen Square Massacre article should also be deleted.--Steven X 07:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

shut up. you're probably redneck or a racist. No we don't KNOW who did it.70.185.125.101 20:36, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not a redneck or racist, to suggest that is borish and petty.--Steven X 07:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Political Correctness, possibly. There are a lot of people who view this as a civil rights issue and are convinced OJ was framed.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jmw0000 (talk • contribs).

O.J. was found guilty in the civil trial, and held legally (monetarily) responsible for Nicole's death. However, in the criminal trial, he was not found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt (i.e., he was held to be "not guilty" by a jury). So, there is some basis for categorizing Nicole's murder as being unsolved. That said, we all know who killed her...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.175.243.151 (talk • contribs).

no we don't and you need to SIGN your comments.70.185.125.101 20:37, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay dokey.--Steven X 04:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo of Nicole dead

Is it really necessary to have a photo of a dead Nicole on the page? Shouldn't there at least be a head shot of her as well?

i think it is, so we can better understand the investigation. They were decapitated yet nothing here was said about it.70.185.125.101 20:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Good lord - have some respect for the dead and don't show their dead bodies. It's not proper etiquite at the very least to show a dead body and incredibly disresprectful.24.215.162.163 04:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is, because there are no photos of the alleged throat gash she had, and for the Ron Goldman page, there are no pics of him. That would be gruesome. This is mildER. I put them back, there should be a debate on this though. I vote yes for dead Nicole pictures, not to disrespect her, I have tons of respect for the family for how they've handled it, but for investigative purposes. and for the people who actually want to see them Catherine Woods 02:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC).

There should at least be a picture of her while alive. The article is about a once-living person and her life. That picture might belong in an article titled "The body of Nicole Brown Simpson" but not in an article about the woman. A person is not their dead body.Arizona1983 03:27, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture voting

Vote here if you want the images on or off the talk page:

Catherine Woods- Yes

AlexanderKO- Yes

Anton1234- If yes means keep, then Yes

Arizona1983- Take it off. It is not necessary to show her dead in an article about her life. Include it on the page dealing with the trial and investigation, not her biographical page.

I think those pictures are more suitable for some article about the murders.
