CNN - Marcus Allen claims Simpson asked him to lie - May 31, 1996

Football star Marcus Allen told lawyers Friday that O.J. Simpson called him from jail and asked him to lie about Allen's relationship with Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.

Lawyers questioned Allen under oath Friday in the wrongful death civil suit against Simpson filed by the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

Ms. Simpson and Goldman, her friend, were found stabbed to death outside Ms. Simpson's home on June 13, 1994. Simpson was acquitted last October of the murders.

Simpson had previously said that Allen confided to him that he had dated Nicole and had sex with her after the divorce. Simpson said the fact that he remained friends with Allen and even hosted his 1993 wedding at his Brentwood mansion showed that he was not a jealous ex-husband.

But Allen, a Heisman Trophy winner and a running back with NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, testified Friday that he never had a sexual relationship with O.J.'s former wife, and that he never told Simpson that he had, according to a lawyer present during the deposition.

During the deposition, Allen testified that Simpson called him while in jail for the murders and asked him to support the story about Allen's relationship with Nicole, the lawyer said.

Allen said he refused to lie for Simpson and instead ended his longtime friendship with him after that call, according to the lawyer.

Seeing him interviewed has been the worst part along with the african features guy. I understand he's a key figure in the case but hes a piece of shyt whose importance can be explained without him or his bytch ass opinion

Agreed...but him and the other cac needed to be there. They are part of the culture that enabled OJ to become what he was

You know that they would be declining Muhammad Ali's group in the 70s.

Some brehs are like, "How is Marcus a scumbag ?"

Listen, if you can't see Marcus is a scumbag, you're probably a scumbag your goddamn self. Amoral people never see the faults in others.

A man gotta have a code.

A man with no code has no sense of honor.

A man with no sense of honor is a scumbag 99/100 times.

I'm coming up with scumbag behavioral theories and shyt.
