WEEKS before she was slashed to death outside her Brentwood condo in 1994, OJ Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, had predicted her own death.

“She knew exactly what was going to happen to her,” Nicole’s friend Kris Jenner told Dateline NBC in a 20th anniversary special episode about the murders of Nicole and Ronald L. Gold-man, a waiter at a nearby restaurant who had gone to her condo to return a pair of glasses her mother had left on their table that evening. Nicole, said Jenner, had confided her fear: “Things are really bad between OJ and I, and he’s going to kill me, and he’s going to get away with it.”
