>>As even attempting to kill someone using a Swiss Army Knife seems quite odd to me, <<

Theoretically OJ Simpson used one to murder Nicole, I believe.


Nice try. The autopsy showed the knife used was a hunting knife. If my recollection works right, it was a fairly big one. Remember the preliminary hearing where the guy testified to the knife purchase?? And then the mysterious manila envelope that apparently didn't get opened by Shapiro??

Re: Knife used by OJ Simpson

As I recall, the wounds were savage... much more severe than what I've heard regarding the Jovin murder. Recall one crime scene witness saying at first glance she thought Suzanne had fainted. This was not a bloody crime scene. That's why I refer to it as a crime scene and not a murder scene (that and someone admonishing me for once doing so (g)).

In any case, the prosecution thinks the knife was six inches long:

We will prove how Ron and Nicole were killed quickly and savagely. They were defenseless against a man so large, powerful, strong, armed with a six-inch knife, and in a total state of rage.

As for the Swiss Army Knife, here is your confusion... from a deposition OJ gave:

7Q: Are the only knives that you owned outside of kitchen knives these Swiss Army knives made by Forschner?

Q: I may have had a few other knives. I'm not sure.

Q: You may have?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you remember having any?

A: I remember one, but I remember having others, too.

Q: Well, how many did you have, outside of

the Swiss Army knives, as of June 12?

A: I have no idea.

Q: More than 10?

A: I doubt that.

Q: More than five?

A: I don't know.

Q: Could it be more than five?

MR. BAKER: Don't guess or speculate.

THE WITNESS: I don't know.
