#IRememberNicole empowers victims and survivors, fostering conversations amongst family, friends and policy makers. Inspired by the life and tragic death of Nicole Brown Simpson – which brought domestic violence into the national spotlight – this anthem serves as a call to action, urging us to remember Nicole and all who suffered, and continue to suffer, from abuse.
I Will Free Myself, Believe In Myself
I Will Keep Myself Safe And Whole
I Will Love Myself, Reach Out For Help
This Is What I Know, I Remember Nicole
As a video journalist, Renee Sotile covered the O.J. Simpson “Trial of the Century” for over 100 days, never forgetting the impact of Nicole Brown Simpson’s and Ron Goldman’s murders. Amid the media frenzy, the domestic violence Nicole endured was nearly lost in the circus surrounding the case. What remains imprinted in Sotile’s memory are the shocked, heartbreaking expressions on the faces of their family members—moments she witnessed firsthand.
“I Remember Nicole is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking! It brought tears to my eyes, my sister Denise, our Mother, and I know to Nicole in Heaven.”
– Huge Hugs, Tanya Brown, Nicole’s Sister
Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder brought the issue of domestic violence into the national spotlight. Saying her name brings back the profound impact her death had on each of us and on our nation—a collective memory of “where we were” upon first hearing that O.J. Simpson’s wife had been murdered in 1994. We recall the scenes of the infamous Bronco chase, his arrest, the “Trial of the Century,” and the eventual acquittal.
For the generations that followed, including her children’s generation, “Nicole” has become a metaphor for domestic violence—a reminder of themselves or someone they know.
“I Remember Nicole” serves as a powerful communication tool to educate, raise awareness, spread knowledge, and empower. Together, we change laws, perspectives, and lives.

🚨 HE WAS THE ONE JUROR WHO STOPPED AN 11–1 VERDICT IN THE LINDSAY CLANCY TRIAL. NOW WE’RE LEARNING HE HAD HIS OWN HISTORY OF DOMESTIC-V!OLENCE ALLEGATIONS.
The Lindsay Clancy trial ended in a mistrial after one juror refused to join the other 11 in finding her not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.
Now that holdout juror’s own history is under scrutiny.
NBC10 Boston obtained a 2021 police report showing the juror’s 13-year-old nephew called 911 and alleged he watched his uncle grab his wife by the throat and throw her into a dresser.
The juror was arrested and charged.
That charge was later dismissed. He was never convicted.
But that isn’t the only revelation.
In 2025, the same nephew obtained a restraining order against him after another alleged confrontation.
The nephew alleged his uncle pushed and struck him—and blamed him for what happened years earlier, allegedly telling him:
“You ruined my f---ing life.”
And reportedly:
“You’ve had this coming your way for a long time.”
According to NBC10, that restraining order was still active while he was sitting on the Clancy jury.
Now people are asking an obvious question:
HOW DID HE GET ON THIS JURY?
Prospective jurors in Massachusetts are questioned about criminal charges and certain court orders. But we currently do not know exactly what this juror disclosed, what attorneys knew, or whether anything was improperly withheld during jury selection.
And his fellow jurors have been talking too.
Several have publicly criticized his conduct during deliberations. The foreperson says the holdout eventually acknowledged having reasonable doubt but still wouldn't join the other 11 jurors. Other allegations about his behavior during deliberations have also surfaced.
Those are jurors’ accounts—not findings by the court.
His past allegations also do not prove why he voted the way he did.
But after one juror prevented a verdict in one of the country's most closely watched trials, learning that he had previously been arrested following a domestic-v!olence allegation—and reportedly had an active restraining order involving alleged family v!olence—is raising serious questions about jury selection.
Should someone with this background have been seated on this particular jury? And do YOU want to know what he disclosed during jury selection?

Katrina Brownlee Read her book! She will inspire you.On January 9, 1993, 22-year-old Katrina Brownlee returned to the Medford, Long Island home she had shared with her fiancé, correction officer Alex Irvin, to collect belongings. Brownlee was five months pregnant when Irvin opened fire with his service revolver.
The attack continued for roughly 90 minutes. Investigators documented spent shell casings, projectiles, bullet holes and speedloaders at the scene. Brownlee was hit 10 times and found bleeding on the bathroom floor after a family friend unexpectedly arrived at the house.
Brownlee survived multiple surgeries, although several bullets remained in her body. Years later, she joined the NYPD, worked undercover and ultimately became a detective, spending two decades in law enforcement before retiring in 2021.
