LOS ANGELES — O.J. Simpson killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Lyle Goldman, says one of the more prominent witnesses in the criminal trial in which the former football legend was acquitted in the 1994 double murder.

Brian “Kato” Kaelin, who lived in Simpson’s guest house at the time of killings and whose story has changed repeatedly over the years, identified Simpson as the killer in an interview with the New York Post.

“The statute of limitations has now passed . so I can now say yes, he did it,” Kaelin told Cindy Adams of the Post. Asked why his testimony did not help convict Simpson, he replied, “I was too scared. I was terrified.”

But Kaelin, in a separate interview with TMZ.com, denied the statute of limitations comment and then said he only thinks O.J. Simpson did the killings and does not have specific knowledge.
