Like O.J., but Without the Talent

The benefits are obvious, at least if fame and fortune are involved. But there are downsides. Ask Nicole Brown Simpson — or KC McClanahan:

A former professional football player sliced his wife’s neck and then crawled on the ground outside their rented Utah condominium before flagging down a police officer, prosecutors said in murder charges filed Monday.

The bloody scene in the ski town of Park City indicated that Keri (KC) McClanahan, 28, put up a desperate struggle before she was killed. …

Police found her husband, Anthony D. McClanahan, 46, covered in blood and crawling on his stomach outside early in the morning of Nov. 2. …

McClanahan was treated for minor injuries and originally told officers he and his wife and baby had been attacked. Investigators, though, found no evidence of anyone else going into the building or of a baby at the Park Regency.

It is doubtful that McClanahan has the juice to skate like O.J.

McClanahan played four years with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League in the mid-1990s after a collegiate career at Washington State University. He was in training camp with the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL in 1994 but never played in a game.

He has blamed previous violence against KC on head injuries sustained while playing football. It is doubtful that would stand up in court, but these days who knows?
