Unless you were born after 1996, you know Kato Kaelin. In the Year of Our Lord 1994, Kato Kaelin was famous. Hot. Headlines. Front page. In everyone’s mouth. On everybody’s lips. TV, radio, newspapers. Kindergarten kids crayonned his name. More mentions of Kato and lawyer Kardashian than today’s mentions of Kanye and Kardashian’s kid Kim.
He was a star of O.J. Simpson’s trial for killing his wife, Nicole. At their house that night, he saw, he heard. He knew who, what and where. The prosecution labeled Kaelin a hostile witness. Unemployed, a freeloader, did he tell the truth then? The world smelled O.J.’s guilt. Simpson went free.
Ask Kaelin today, this very minute, if O.J. — currently jailed in Vegas on a separate charge — killed his wife, and I repeat his exact words:
“The statute of limitations has now passed . . . so I can now say . . . yes, he did it.”
Why didn’t he come forward and tell the truth? Ask why he let O.J. Simpson get away with murder, and I repeat his exact words:
“I was too scared. I was terrified.”
Time and his moment have passed. Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here together in memoriam of Kato Kaelin’s dead career. He says: “People hated me. I’ve been spat upon. They threw gum in my coffee.”
Little bit of a personality, little bit of a talk-show host and guest, little bit of a D-list actor in Z-minus movies, little bit on game shows, poker tournaments, reality things that didn’t make it. He’s now starting a Web site to answer questions, chat personalities, maybe do a book.

Maybe for perjury but not for murder.
I get it. We are finally running out of movies, TV shows and songs to remake, so we are down to remaking d list celebrities.
We also recently learn that the OJ defense team had physical possession of the glove over the lunch break that day....
great timing on the info, right?

There is no statute of limitations on murder. However, I’m not reading, in this blurb, Mr. Kaelin’s saying that he saw O.J. kill Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. He can say what he thinks is true, but that doesn’t make it true.
It’s taken a few years, but the drugs are finally wearing off, Kato?
Doesn't matter. Simpson was tried and found not guilty. He could go on Letterman and tell the world he killed her and he can't be tried for it again.
He must be broke.
Unfortunately, you cannot try a gut twice.
However, if OJ serves his full sentence in Las Vegas, he will either die in prison or will be only fit for an old folk’s home when he gets out.
I believe he encountered OJ when OJ returned home? Perhaps OJ told him what he just did?
It’s possible, but that doesn’t make it true, either.
The people responsible for OJ's acquittal are: Gil Garcetti (Politics/change of venue)
Judge Ito (never should have allowed the cameras and other issues)
The Prosecution team (incompetence)
In some states there is no S of L for perjury. Kato’s info won’t get OJ convicted, but could land Kato in jail.
Unfortunately. I know.
I would also suggest that the acquittal was assured once the jury selection was made.
No Alan Dershowitz? F. Lee Bailey? Johnny Cochran?
Doesn't matter what Kaelin says. Everyone involved, including the cops, defense attorneys, victims family etc, knew he is guilty. Even the jury knew it.
That’s it!
