Peacock Moves OJ's Accomplice Documentary Up to November 1

Peacock will premiere the two-part documentary OJ's Accomplice on November 1, earlier than the December date it had carried, Deadline reports. Peacock is NBCUniversal's streaming service.

Deadline says the earlier date followed a New York Times investigation into the O.J. Simpson case published earlier in October. The Times reported on October 18 that newly unsealed records say an "extremely reliable" informant told authorities about the missing murder weapon. The murder weapon has never been found, and the records bring that question back into view.

The film comes from Ample Entertainment, the company run by Ari Mark. Mark directs it with Sumit David, and both executive produce. BroadwayWorld describes it as the result of a year-long investigation.

The interviews are the draw. Deadline lists Kato Kaelin, a witness at the 1995 trial, along with Pat McKenna, an original defence investigator, Tom Lange, the lead detective, and Robert Brisolari, a DEA agent. Each speaks to the case from a different seat in the process.

The case remains unresolved in the courts. No one has been criminally convicted in the killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, according to the Times. Simpson was found liable in a civil suit, which is a case between private parties rather than a criminal prosecution, and carries a lower standard of proof.

On October 22, the Times reported that Tanya Brown believed someone had helped Simpson get rid of the murder weapon. Brown told the paper she held that view. A police department spokesman has said the "O.J. Simpson case remains an open and ongoing investigation."

For viewers, the practical change is the calendar. The documentary arrives on Peacock on November 1, and the streaming service has not announced any other details about the release.
