Simpson: “You know, that was an added benefit. What everybody knows, I mean, even when Nicole approached me to get back together, and I inquired why, she said that her mother told her I was moving to Florida. So, I was moving to Florida. I was working in New York, for NBC. I was spending half a year on the East Coast. It was just too tough going back and forth. So, I was preparing to move toFlorida anyway. And then the deaths happened, and that kind of derailed me.  And I thought I was going to move immediately when my trial was over, but then there was the civil trial and the custody trial, and so -- but a added benefit is some of the laws here in Florida. But I was moving here long before June 12, in '94.”

Couric: “Since moving to Florida, you haven't exactly led the life of a quiet retiree, completely. You've been charged with battery in a road rage incident. There have been some 911 calls, involving fights with your girlfriend."

Simpson: “That's one incident… which is not necessarily true.”

Couric: “Federal agents have searched your home for the drug ecstasy. I want to point out that none of these incidents resulted in a conviction. But can you see why people reading this might think, this is a guy who has trouble controlling his anger? And he just goes off?”

Simpson: “Well, you know, I think people who want to believe that, believe it immediately. No matter what they say. I saw some lady on TV, on one of the TV stations, pretty vocal hostess, ‘Oh, I told you he'd be in trouble.’

“Well, most thinking Americans, when they really look at it, they can see that there was nothing to virtually any of these things. There's only one that I was charged with anything. And the jury came back probably quicker than criminal jury, saying this was ridiculous. And when we spoke to them after, even the Miami Herald thought it was ridiculous. You know? And when they took a vote on Court TV, everybody thought it was ridiculous.

“I am a target. I have to accept the fact that I am a target. And it's easy, in the majority of times, it's the media. And everybody talks about the media. But if we were to take each of those incidences you'll see. One time, a guy called because I drove to an apartment. And he thought there was some judgment against me 

being there. Well, the next day, a week later, when the media reported it, it was, ‘O.J. had a knock-down drag out fight with his girlfriend, and the neighbors called the cops."’

“No. No. When they finally played the 911 tape, the guy called because he thought there was something against me being there. You know? But to this day, that's a fight that O.J. [had] with his girlfriend, which is just not true.”

Couric: “Do you have a girlfriend?”
