January 1, 2022 Steve Corbett 0

by Steve Corbett That’s me standing at the peach-colored condo‘s tubular metal gate, staring at the killing ground where Nicole Brown Simpson’s thick blood once flowed, where Ronald Goldman also died in a deep crimson pool of his own gore unleashed by a vicious knife attack. I’m in Los Angeles […]

by Steve Corbett I missed going to Woodstock – three days of peace and music. Having just graduated high school that summer of ’69, I went to work in a political job my dad got me at a bleak state office building. My wife Stephanie stayed home, too. Believe it […]
