OJ offers dollars 500,000 reward

Thursday 21 July 1994

LOS ANGELES - OJ Simpson offered a dollars 500,000 ( pounds 324,000) cash reward for information that would help to clear him and lead to the arrest of the 'real killer or killers' of his former wife and her friend.

Mr Simpson's defence team filed a Superior Court motion demanding that the prosecution disclose any leads that point to his innocence. The former football star's lawyer, Leroy Taft, said a free telephone line was being opened to take information from the public. Reuter
