O.J. Simpson case: Questions, new twists after reports of knife discovery

(CNN)Nearly 22 years after the fatal stabbing of Nicole Brown Simpson, reports of a knife discovered on her ex-husband's property are sparking a frenzy of questions.

And authorities are wondering why a former police officer, who kept the knife for years, did not turn it in sooner.

O.J. Simpson was acquitted in the June 1994 killings of his ex-wife and her friend, Ronald Goldman, outside her condominium in Los Angeles.

On Friday, the Los Angeles Police Department announced a knife was allegedly found on O.J. Simpson's former estate in Brentwood.

Former officer George Maycott got the knife from a construction worker in in 2002 or 2003, according to the ex-officer's attorney.

At the time, Maycott was working off duty near the estate, attorney Trent Copeland said.

The construction worker came up to him and gave him the knife, saying he found it "on or near" the old Simpson property.

At least Simpson's sitting in prison now. God intervened and brought honest jurors onto the jury this time.

If he killed my brother or sister I would have been waiting for him at the 18th hole.
