Why It Matters

1995年,O.J.辛普森因谋杀前妻妮可·布朗·辛普森及其朋友罗纳德·戈德曼而受审,但最终被宣告无罪。案件中凶器始终未被找到,长期引发外界对其是否有同伙的猜测。

在1995年对O·J·辛普森谋杀案起诉失败的那起案件中,政府声称是他独自杀害了前妻妮可·布朗·辛普森和她的朋友罗纳德·戈德曼。

阻碍本案调查的问题之一是凶器的缺失,而且凶器至今从未被找到。凶器缺失长期以来引发了关于凶手是否曾获他人协助的猜测。

如今,应《纽约时报》请求解封的尘封30年记录显示,一名政府重点线人曾向执法部门提供关于这起杀人案的关键信息,包括凶器据称所在的位置,以及辛普森为逃避起诉所采取的行动细节。这些发现共同挑战了围绕此案的普遍说法。

今年,这名线人的兄弟告诉《纽约时报》,其兄弟在此案中的角色远比外界所知更为深远。这名兄弟还表示,他本人在谋杀案发生后的几小时内曾协助丢弃了一个内装重物的袋子。

一名“极其可靠”的线人提供了关于O.J.辛普森的信息。

约瑟夫·伊波利托(人称乔伊)是一名被定罪的毒贩和黑手党成员,在1994年谋杀案发生前一个月从佛罗里达一所监狱逃脱。

伊波利托的兄弟说,逃脱后,兄弟俩向西前往洛杉矶。入狱前,伊波利托曾在那里经营一家受欢迎的餐厅,并且是辛普森长期亲信阿尔·考林斯的密友。

在辛普森和考林斯那场臭名昭著的布朗科越野车追逐事件之后,调查人员在这辆车中发现了伊波利托其中一名女友的照片以及她的电话号码。

伊波利托最终在一年后再次被拘留。记录显示,他随即向纽约的联邦调查人员提供了关于黑手党的信息,并安排了与卧底缉毒探员的会面,检察官称,他们“发现伊波利托是一个极其宝贵的信息来源”。检察官在一份游说法官对其从轻判决的备忘录中写道,伊波利托冒着自身安全风险协助了调查。

他还泄露了关于辛普森和这起杀人案的信息。

这名线人谈到了失踪的凶器。

检察官说,伊波利托与考林斯和辛普森的密切关系使他“知晓许多与本案相关的事实,包括辛普森涉嫌的家庭暴力、辛普森夫妇吸毒、辛普森试图逃避司法,以及他处理凶器的情况”。

《纽约时报》获得的一份联邦法院备忘录以及一份量刑听证会记录概述了伊波利托合作的细节。一名联邦检察官、一名前美国法警、一名前缉毒局探员以及一名参与起诉此谋杀案的官员也分别独立证实了伊波利托的合作。

联邦官员说,他们已将信息分享给洛杉矶的检察官。但信息送达时,这场吸引全球关注的谋杀案审判已接近尾声。伊波利托从未被传唤作证。他于2006年去世。

这名线人的兄弟说,其兄弟曾在谋杀现场。

今年早些时候,伊波利托的兄弟之一萨姆告诉《纽约时报》,1994年谋杀案发生当晚,他们住在西好莱坞的一套公寓里。乔伊告诉萨姆,他当晚要出去帮一个朋友。萨姆说,几个小时后,他的兄弟回来了,手上似乎有血,还带着一个装有重物的袋子。萨姆·伊波利托回忆说,乔伊让自己把袋子处理掉。萨姆·伊波利托说,他把它扔进了附近一个建筑工地的垃圾箱。

萨姆·伊波利托说,他确信自己的兄弟曾出现在谋杀现场。在接受《纽约时报》采访数月后,萨姆·伊波利托要求获得报酬。当一名记者拒绝时,他推翻了之前的说法,并说自己“被提供了一大笔钱”去别处讲述自己的故事,显然是为了一部即将上映的纪录片。

辛普森曾描述过一名“假设”的同伙。

2007年,辛普森公开了对这起谋杀案的“假设性”认罪,发表在《如果是我干的》(If I Did It)一书中。在书中,他描述了一位在谋杀当晚与他在一起的朋友,此人起初是一名惊恐的旁观者,但后来同意帮他处理凶器和辛普森沾满血迹的衣服。
