Simpson’s Pal Al Sets Up 900 Number

In yet another commercial venture arising from the O.J. Simpson murder case, Al Cowlings has set up a 900 number to present his thoughts and feelings about his longtime friend and the media frenzy that has surrounded the trial.

By dialing 1 (900) CALL 4 AC, listeners can hear various recorded messages from Cowlings - at $2.99 a minute.

Cowlings read a statement Wednesday summarizing his reasons for setting up the number and saying he has been reluctant to speak to the media because they have “consistently sensationalized the facts and negatively exploited the many aspects of this tragedy.”

The number offers “O.J. and A.C. the Early Years,” how the case has affected Cowlings life and a poll on O.J.’s guilt or innocence. Callers can also hear accounts of Cowlings’ relationships with Margarite Simpson, O.J.’s first wife.
