CHAPTER 7

The Goldman Family Saga

If you thought what you have read so far was surprising, especially given what you heard before about O. J. Simpson and the Nicole Brown Simpson case was surprising, and probably pretty weird, I guarantee you that you haven’t heard anything yet. At least, not until you read this chapter.

The question we are going to ask in this chapter is this: Who exactly was Ron Goldman?

Now, you probably think that’s a silly question. Everybody knows who Ron Goldman was. He was the victim, the obliging young waiter from the Mezzaluna restaurant who got viciously killed because he brought Nicole Simpson the eyeglasses her mother left on the table after Nicole ate her last meal with her children.

In the mainstream narrative, Ron Goldman has become the poster-boy victim of all time—a handsome, vibrant, young man cut down in the prime of life by O. J. Simpson, a black man whose jealousy over his white, ex-wife drove him to virtually sever Goldman’s head from his neck by wielding a stiletto knife in anger. Nobody in history, the mainstream narrative goes, ever paid a greater price for doing a favor. How unfortunate that all Ron Goldman wanted to do was to satisfy a valued customer in a restaurant establishment he did not even own. In the mainstream narrative, we need look no farther than Ron Goldman for proof no good deed goes unpunished. Speak no ill of victims we are told, lest you disgrace yourself.

That was the version of the Ron Goldman story that I thought was true, until I started investigating. Let’s start here, with the story about the Mezzaluna restaurant and the eyeglasses grandma left behind after a beautiful dinner out with her daughter and her grandchildren. What really happened?

How Grandma Lost Her Prescription Eyeglasses in the Gutter Outside the Restaurant That Fateful Night

On Tuesday, February 7, 1995, Day 2 of the O. J. Simpson murder trial, Karen Crawford was sworn in to testify. Under direct questioning by prosecutor Marcia Clark, Crawford explained she worked at the Mezzaluna restaurant in Brentwood, California, on San Vicente Boulevard. For the past year and a half, she was the manager at the Mezzaluna on Sunday nights, and she bartended. On the night Nicole was murdered, June 12, 1994, Karen Crawford was the manager. She testified that she knew Nicole as a regular customer, and she had known Ron Goldman since he started working at the Mezzaluna as a waiter early in 1994, about 4 months before June 12.

Crawford recalled that on Sunday, June 12, 1994, Nicole Simpson came to the Mezzaluna with a large party that included several adults and some children. She recalled that Nicole that evening wore a black halter dress that hung above the knee, and that Nicole and her party were seated at the large table that was usually set up across the front of the restaurant in front of the bar area, placed there to accommodate large groups. She confirmed the accuracy of a restaurant receipt that confirmed Tia, not Ron Goldman, was the server.
