The Tragic Instructions of Nicole Brown Simpson: Smile for the Children After Her Murder

In the early hours of June 13, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were brutally stabbed to death outside Nicole Brown Simpson's Los Angeles home. The verdict of O.J. Simpson's trial, which captured the country's attention in 1995, was deeply personal for Nicole Brown Simpson's sisters Denise, Dominique and Tanya. After the acquittal, the Browns returned home where Nicole Brown Simpson's two young children Sydney and Justin were waiting. According to Denise Brown, their mother instructed them to put on a smile when they walked in the door so as not to show their grief to the children. Simpson always maintained his innocence in the killings, but a civil jury found him liable for wrongful death in 1997 and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to the Goldman and Brown families. A new Lifetime documentary has unearthed pictures and videos of Nicole Brown Simpson.
