O.J. Simpson emerged from the funeral and lingered briefly with
other family members outside the side entrance. He held the
hands of his two small children--his daughter in a patchwork
print dress and his son in pants, jacket, and tennis shoes.
The Funeral
01
Nicole Brown Simpson and
Ronald Lyle Goldman, slain
side by side in a brutal attack
that has grabbed the attention
of the world, were buried in
separate funerals on Thursday,
with O.J. Simpson, a suspect
in the killings, attending the
service for his ex-wife.
Simpson’s children, 6-year-old
Justin and 9-year-old Sydney,
accompanied him to their
mother’s funeral in Brentwood
and to her burial service
in Lake Forest. They were
sleeping Sunday night when
an attacker killed her outside
their Brentwood home.
02
A phalanx of reporters and camera people flanked narrow Saltair
Avenue, on the western side of the church grounds, straining for a
glimpse of a familiar face in a passing car or a stray quote from a
mourner. Men in dark suits and women in sleek, short-skirted black
suits and high heels arrived looking solemn behind sunglasses. A line
of luxury cars and trendy trucks snaked up to the iron gate entrance to
the parking lot that bristled with private security.
