Evidence that a conspiracy took place in the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, and that a hit man was hired, has been held quietly without action in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’ Office, according to information provided by an individual close to the investigation.
A letter from attorney Lawrence M. Longo, who represents the witness, to Deputy District Attorney Curtis A. Hazell offers evidence of a conspiracy to kill Nicole Brown. Her former husband, O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder charges in the high-profile case, but was held liable for damages in her death in a civil case.
Longo said in his letter last month: “It is my understanding based upon my conversation with you that you might be interested in information my client could provide in regards to a solicitation to commit murder of Nicole Brown Simpson by Robert Kardashian.”
Longo’s client is William Benson Wasz, who was brought to Longo by noted author and crime journalist Joseph Bosco. Bosco was one of the few members of the press to have a permanent seat in the courtroom throughout the 16-month Simpson trial, and is considered an authority on the Simpson case. In his book, “A Problem of Evidence: How the Prosecution Freed O.J. Simpson,” Bosco claims the prosecution bungled the case.
“Very early after the murder, Mr. Wasz appeared across the radar screen, and very early both sides put out that he was just bogus,” said Bosco in a phone interview. “So we all forgot about it. A couple years later I find out the information both sides put out wasn’t true. So I started visiting Mr. Wasz in prison, and I’ve been doing so for about a year. And I’ve been talking to some of my people at the District Attorney’ Office who are friends of mine.”
After Bosco brought Wasz to Longo, the attorney went to Hazell with offers of information and evidence, which the leaked letter verifies. The letter also provides details of the alleged conspiracy.
“In the fall of 1993, Bill Wasz came into contact with Paula Barbieri, Robert Kardashian and O.J. Simpson,” says the letter to the DA’s Office. “The contact with these individuals was made at the Roxbury in West Hollywood.
“Just before the New Year, Robert Kardashian met with Wasz in his home in Encino and offered him an assignment. The purpose was to follow Nicole and take pictures of her with any man whom she might meet with romantically. The surveillance of Nicole took place on January 6th and 7th, 1994. This information was documented in a notebook — the notebook is currently in the custody of the LAPD. The three phone numbers in the book belong to O.J., Kardashian and Barbieri.
“On about January 14, Bill Wasz met Robert Kardashian again in his Encino home. At this meeting Kardashian offered Wasz $15,000 if he would kill Nicole with a 25-caliber bullet to the head.”
Kardashian also allegedly told Wasz he was to steal Barberi’s car and use it during the murder. The murder was to take place at the Rockingham and not at Nicole Simpson’s home on Gretna Green.
“On January 24 at approximately 10 a.m., Kardashian called Wasz at his room at the Saharan Motel on Sunset Blvd. In Hollywood, Kardashian told Wasz to steal Barbieri’s car from a parking garage in Beverly Hills between 3 and 4 o’clock while she was having her hair done.
“After Wasz stole Barbieri’s car, he drove to a mall in West Valley where he met Kardashian. While at the mall, Wasz took an envelope containing $7,500, which was to be partial payment for the killing.”
Asked why the letter might be leaked to the press, Bosco surmised that someone wanted to sabotage the investigation, or that well-known political problems in the District Attorney’s Office were to blame.
“That’s what I think has happened here, because there’s not a story yet,” said Bosco. “If all aspects of that story check out, you’ve got a hell of a story.”
Longo was out of his office yesterday, but a spokesperson there verified that the letter in question was genuine and not a hoax. No other information was provided, and Longo has not responded to two messages left with his office.
Two calls were made to Hazell’s office. Both times, he was said to be “at lunch.” But a source there also verified that Hazell is working on the conspiracy issue and that he has been in communication with Longo. The source, however, was not aware of Longo’s letter. Hazell never returned phone calls to WorldNetDaily.
The whistleblower who provided a copy of the Longo letter to WorldNetDaily explained his motivations: “I don’t trust the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office to properly investigate this information. They’ve known about this for too long without doing anything. It’s time for the truth, whatever it is, to come out.”
