Simpson murder trial, Nicole Brown Simpson: Private Diary of a Life Interrupted (1994) (which as of October 1995, had reportedly sold 550,000 copies). It debuted at #1 on the non-fiction side of the Times bestseller list on November 6, 1994. Walker had a weekly radio show on KABC, Los Angeles, California.
