Dog in O.J. Simpson case dies
DANA POINT, Calif. (AP) - Nicole Brown Simpson's dog Kato, whose
``plaintive wail'' helped investigators establish a timeline for her
and Ron Goldman's 1994 murders, has died. The Akita was 11.
Kato, who lived at the Dana Point home of Nicole's parents, Louis and
Juditha Brown, died Oct. 21 after a short illness, The Orange County
Register reported today.
The dog's activity around the time of the slayings was a focus of
attention during the celebrated trial of Nicole's ex-husband, O.J.
Simpson, who was acquitted of the murders.
A writer who lived near the scene of the crime in the Brentwood
section of Los Angeles told of hearing Kato's ``plaintive wail''
between 10:15 p.m. and 10:20 p.m. on June 12. The dog, which left
bloody pawprints around the murder scene, was still barking at 11 p.m.
Kato's ashes are kept below the Browns' piano. It was the dog's
favorite spot in the house.

trial. I was driving on IH35 in Austin, TX, morning rush hour, about 40
mph. I saw a dead dog by teh side of the road and noted to myself, "Oh,
that's a white Akita, just like the dog in the OJ Simpson case," which was
ongoing at that time. All of a sudden BOOM...I thought a bomb had gone off
under the rear of my car. I had been rearended...pulled off, the guy came
up to my window and said "I am so sorry, I was looking at the damn dog."
Concussion, soft tissue injuries, jammed every joint in my body. So, the
victims in the case ranged far outside California...ja ja!

11 years old or 77 in human terms. Pretty good life span.

11 years old or 77 in human terms. Pretty good life span.
So I guess since the dog died at age 11 and the murders happened in June of
1994 that means he was just a puppy when Nicole was murdered.

I noticed that too. I thought he was a couple years old when Nicole died.
He certainly looked 'full grown' in the photo's I'd seen of him at the time.

Yeah, I seem to remember reading something at the time that Kato was about
2.
13 years is a long life for a dog.

Dogs grow a lot faster than humans, just like they age a lot faster,
hence the 1 human year equals 7 dog years ratio.

A puppy? No, he wasn't a puppy. The equivalent to adolesence at best.
Dogs grow much faster than humans.

That's true, but Kato did not look like a pup in the photo's of him at the
time. And most dogs still look like pups at one year and beyond. And
although they age faster, they usually don't attain their full growth size
before one year old.

Do you actually *have* a dog? My lab mix was a *puppy* until she was at
least 5 years old. Most dogs have a puppy look well beyond one year old.
And 'puppy behavior' depending upon the breed, well into their mid-life.

Snopes says that's not accurate, and I have to agree.
http://www.snopes.com/critters/wild/dogyears.htm
Our family dog died at age 17, which would have made her 119 in dog years.
The Snopes chart puts her in her 80's, and that seems more reasonable and I
can even relate some of her behaviour to that of some human Octogenarians
I've known. However, larger dogs don't tend to live as long, and Kato seems
to have been at the upper end of the life expectancy for an Akita.

To me this is sad- the only witness to this murder of the century.

Well, unless you count Orenthal James Simpson as a witness.
As for the murder of the century, a domestic dispute and an
unfortunate bystander doesn't qualify. JFK's assasination, the
Holocaust, Mao's Great Leap in to starvation, Stalin's
slaughters...take your pick.
Heck, the murder that set off WWI would be just a tad more important,
don't you think?
Now the *trial* of the century, there you might have something.

One of these days I'm going to make a list of all the trials that were
billed as "The Trial of the Century". There were a bunch of 'em.

I'll help you compile that list, if you want. I can think of a dozen off
the top of my head that pertain to the twentieth century alone (and more if
you let me go back to the 1700s):
1) Scopes
2) Leopold & Loeb
3) Rodney King
4) Linbergh baby
5) Winslow boy
6) OJ Simpson
7) The Rosenbergs
8) Microsoft anti-trust
9, 10 and 11) *How* many WWII trials did we hear called "trial of the
century"? I remember at least three. Or maybe I'm confusing them with the
commie hearings in the fifties.
12) Henry Thaw murder trial
It's a way, way overused phrase. Dave Barry once wrote a really funny
article about how a *real* "trial of the century" should sound. He,
apparently, was as sick of the phrase as I have been.

13) Saccho-Vanzetti (sp?), I'm pretty sure
Also, the Richard Speck murders were billed the Crime of the Century,
which is a related list. :)

When I hear the phrase "trial of the century" my overly-literal mind
thinks, "Yeah, we should put the 20th century on trial. I mean, I
thought the 14th century was bad, but the 20th really takes the cake!"
Sacco-Vanzetti was a fascinating trial, partly because of the
prosecutorial misconduct. I'd put that up as perhaps the most
dramatic. Nuremburg, the most fascinating intellectually and
rhetorically.

Aha! Thanks! Just goes to show that all of us get snookered into
believing untruths. I think I had better run through all the
"knowledge" I have obtained through osmosis (sp?) over the years
through Snopes. :-)
