Suicidal Threats: Reading Between the Lines of O. J. Simpson’s Suicide Note (In: Suicide and Law Enforcement, edited by D C Sheehan & J I Warren)

With new understanding of the mind’s potential, it is possible now to examine forensic documents such as ransom notes or suicide letters for unconscious communication to determine true motivation & intent.

In addition, 2 key, recorded Simpson communications before & after the suicide letter – an interrogation & the infamous Bronco chase – offer further validation of the conclusions suggested in his suicide letter.
