Finally, a lawyer for a 23-year-old former porn star named Jennifer Peace claimed that the actress had not only gone before the Cowlings grand jury but also had spent last Thursday chatting with Clark and Hodgman. Peace, who under the name Devon Shire made roughly 80 X-rated films between 1990 and 1992, dated Cowlings and bills herself as his friend. Her conversations with the authorities may well have resembled interviews she gave recently to TIME and other news outlets. According to Peace, Cowlings told her that Simpson was guilty of both murders. The murder weapon "sleeps with the fishes," i.e., + was thrown in a body of water. Peace claims Cowlings told her that on the Friday before the murder, O.J. had been "stalking" Goldman, whom he "hated with a passion." But Cowlings also allegedly said that when O.J. arrived at Nicole's residence on Sunday, June 12, "he didn't go there to kill Nicole. He had the knife on him, and he got so angry, he went into a rage and almost blacked out over what happened."
Peace also says Cowlings talked to her about what went on in the white Bronco five days later, during what the press dubbed -- correctly she says -- Simpson's "escape attempt." "They weren't going to no grave site," she says. "They weren't clear on anything. But then they saw 40 cops and 15 choppers, and they said, hmmm, maybe escaping isn't such a good idea."
Peace's lawyer says the prosecutors appeared satisfied with the actress's truthfulness. Others will need more convincing. As further information about the erstwhile porn star leaked out -- that she had tried to sell her story to the supermarket tabloid the Star; that she had claimed to be pregnant by baseball star Barry Bonds -- it seemed possible that Cowlings' and Simpson's lawyers, both of whom have called her story ludicrous, might be able to impeach her as a reliable source.
